Peggy,
While I dont agree with your Wilsonian take, I apologize for any personal attacks against you.
The vast majority of freepers appreciate your contributions and as you can see the mods are at work keeping this reasonable.
I appreciate your sharing your spiritual journey in "Life, Liberty, And The Pursuit Of Happiness." It helped me reevaluate my own walk with God and it gave me the courage to be proud of being a Christian. I work in academia and Christians seem to be as rare as conservatives. Thanks for your honesty.
Time and again you have proven your loyalty to the conservative cause, to this president and to the Republican Party. Even when I disagree with you, and admittedly, that's a rarity, I appreciate you and spend time thinking about what you have written.
In regard to how seriously we are taking civil defense, I think you're asking the right questions. Keep doing it. We need to hound our local authorities, too. It is our responsiblity as individuals.
And "fooman" is right, the vast majority of freepers do appreciate you - even when they disagree with you.
