Yeah, OK. Whatever you say. I just don't buy the story that a paperboy single-handledly distributed 10,000 flyers. If he put even one flyer into one paper on his route, he would have been instantly fired for doing it.

That's what newspaper advertising departments are for.

If I, as a lowest-level employee in the entire company, had short-circuited advertising revenue, I'd fully expect the ax.

The paper boy story took place in Kansas and the owner of the paper FULLY SUPPORTED the kid’s activities AND PRINTED THE BULLETINS! (Yes, Virginia, there ARE — or were —newspaper publishers out there in Flyover Country who care about whither goeth their nation more than the BOTTOM LINE.)

And, while the lad DID distribute bulletins on his entire route, in his after-school and spare time, he rolled and THREW BULLETINS ON AS MANY NON-SUBSCRIBER LAWNS AND DRIVEWAYS AS HE COULD MANAGE. EVERY QUARTER FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

So, like, besides raging on FR and calling Rush, what are YOU personally doing to save the republic?

How many town hall meetings will YOU be attending and how many hard questions will YOU be asking YOUR congress critter?

Inquiring minds want to know.

If you’ll send me an email, I’ll send you an short clip of my late friend, Larry McDonald, explaining why it’s EVERYONE’S business to be involved in educating those around us.

And, yes, Larry — along with 268 innocent men, women and children — died aboard KAL007 on 9/1/1983 when it was blown out of the sky over the Sea of Japan by our new pals the Soviets.
