We've got some real challenges facing us. FR was established to fight against government corruption, overstepping, and abuse and to fight for a return to the limited constitutional government as envisioned and set forth by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and other founding documents.
One of the biggest cases of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialist hell. Our founders never intended for abortion to be the law of the land. And they never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intended government to be used to deny God's existence or for government to be used to force sexual perversions onto our society or into our children's education curriculum. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to rule over the people and or to take their earnings or private property or to deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech, free religion, private property, due process, etc. They never intended government to seize the private property of private citizens through draconian asset forfeiture laws or laws allowing government to take private property from lawful owners to give to developers. Or to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems.
All of the above are examples of ever expanding socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals/liberalism.
FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?
Do you really expect me to do that?
You should see it when religion becomes part of the equation.
I’ve walked into Catholic churches and defended Protestants, then crossed the street to the Protestant churches and defended the Catholics. “We’re all on the same team,” I say.
Hooo-boy! I’ve been smacked so hard over that my ancestors cringed. LOL!
ROFL
Something like that.
There used to be several versions of the “Undead Thread” that we’d post on till it locked out.
Not certain of the actual number, but it was over 14 K.
A thread is filled at (2^16)-1, or 65535.
LMAO! Now photo-shop Rooty’s head on the cowbell drummer.
MMMMM, I want some chocolate!
no...its much higher than that. the Hobbit thread was the first, I believe to max out, and then the original Undead Thread did it, too. I was there for that one.
ROFL. Jim, can I steal that for a tagline? Please?
We did that once at the Undead Thread.
LOL!
Wonderful! The following quotation / story is from Judges, Chapter 12. I believe we are coming up on, oh, ten thousand. It may be a long evening. Shibboleth.
12, 4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, art thou an Ephraimite? If he say Nay;
6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
Brawling on FR? Im shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Really? More bandwidth?
Or am I old and senile?
This one started at about 6 PM PST on Saturday night but its been around about the same subject most of the time....
It is up to us...to work together for progress and humanity so that our grandchildren, when they look back at us, can truly say that we not only preserved the flame of freedom, but cast its warmth and light further than those who came before us.

Post numbers are sixteen bit numbers, starting with zero. Thus, (2^16)-1.

What is happening here had to happen this early if it was going to have any effect on the primaries.
