Ping!
John Kerry is a socialist.
Dont insult Socialists....
"Dont insult Socialists...."
Now you're not being open-minded to free speech in America. You...You...Mean, nasty, conservative you. :)
BTTT!
Why do they feel guilty and why do they seem intent on endangering those of us who don't while they engage in their own versions of self-emollition?
Change that to "self-immolation."
Ah, that's better. I think of it as a verbal emollient.
<Please return to your seats.>
"Ah, that's better. I think of it as a verbal emollient."
You conservatives are just mean and nasty. Mean and nasty. You're gonna make me cry. :) HA!
We're nuanced, too, in a mean and nasty sort of way.
Well, it shows the editors didn't catch it either. This happens periodically. It drives you nuts, but it happens. Especially when it happens two or three times in a novel. And you find out after it goes to print. After a while, you just learn to accept that you're gonna make mistakes no matter what. And then rely on the benevolence of your readership. ;)
I remember when I came to this site in Febuary of last year. I found out how tough it is writing for conservatives. This is the truth. They are the toughest crowd to bring around. Once you do, you're in excellent shape. They'll go to the grave defending you. Being a conservative, I know this to be a fact.
After being flamed in my first day here, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Free Republic has some of the finest minds I'll ever know."
It's safer and more fun just to pretend to be a spelling/grammar nazi, and even more so when you can work in a couple of tortured puns to increase the readers' agony level.
Please remove my name from your ping list.
Thanks.

...the people of the United States ... Why do they feel guilty and why do they seem intent on endangering those of us who don't while they engage in their own versions of self-immolation?
Being somewhat of an Agnostic, my theory (gleaned from the Church of England) is we are taught and conditioned by our Judeo-Christian beliefs that the 'poor' are noble, and the 'rich' are sinful; therefore aspiring to be 'rich' goes against the grain of all we've been taught. How we assuage that guilt is by giving the poor what they want, not what they earn. Those that have the most have the biggest guilt so they give the most -- but horrors! the guilt increases because of the power that accumulates from those 'good works'.
People must be allowed to fail and fall from the grace of our society, else we shall all fail and fall back to the feudal days of yore.
I fear Kerry and the current crop of Democrats for just that reason -- they intend to be the Landed Gentry suffering the Serfs as a necessary nuisance.
You have mail. Something that you didn't do for me. And this is not my ping list!
Ping!
I can agree with that.
Of late I have noticed a fad of pinging people to threads on ping lists without any request for such pinging. And if it's ReaganRenaissance, or ReaganGhost or whatever - I never asked to be on his/hers ping list either.
So please take me off your copy of his/hers, and if he/she's listening take me off his/hers as well.
Thanks.

If conservatives turn out and if libertarians or other conservative third parties will vote for Bush, Kerry's office should remain in the Senate Office Building, not 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The Democrats appear to be setting the stage for considerable vote fraud and vote protests including more court action. I fear that the Democrats will make enough allegations of Republican fraud to increase turn-out among Democrats in future elections and file enough court battles to discourage Republican turn out in future elections simply because of the frustations over repeated court battles.
Turning out the conservative base and persuading conservative third parties to vote against Kerry by voting for Bush are the keys to keeping Kerry corraled in the congressional chambers.
I agree.
As a valley girl would say it, "I so like totally think that's so totally awesome." :)
