However, when YOU say “Don’t ever post to me again... I think that would be best” — which I certainly interpreted as a threat — it’s out of bounds to call it like I see it.

I stated what I would like. This is my actual post:

I would like for you to not post to me ever again. After you vile post to me a few days ago, I think that would be for the best.

If that is threatening to you, so be it. I really don't care.

“So you are saying that they shouldn’t have the right to vote? Oh okay.”

I didn’t say that at all. You made it up, out of thin air, and then answered the question yourself.

I was pointing out that they wanted no involvement with ‘the law’, nor politics, and now, since the ‘raid’, they suddenly decided they needed to be patriotic.

I was only questioning why the sudden change of heart.

Why had they waited until ‘now’ to exercise their right? EN MASSE.

Gee, you’ve gone off the deep end lately.

I was the one who posted an article explaining the culture of the FLDS women, and their manner of dress. I think it only fair to consider all sides of the issue, even if I don’t agree with what I see.

However, you seem to have taken to acting like a child, making such ridiculous remarks.

I know voting by these folks makes you nervous and I am remarking on the mental gymnastics you do to find things wrong with every minutia of their actions since the invasion. You are exercising some serious leaps to explain your positions and the positions by the mob here. They have every right to register to vote and put pressure on those that wronged them. You still think all these indictments are coming down on them and you can’t seem to recognize the victimhood the state is playing in all of this.

Scary looks, prairie dresses, legal rights to voting, individual liberty, due process, and all that stuff is fine for you but not for them. If they vote, they must be doing it because yada yada yada yada.....

I continue to be amazed by some of it. Surreal.

You fascinate me because you want to straddle the fence yet take your positions in hypocrisy ever so gently. I just like calling you out.

You want to talk about the deep end?

I am still laughing out loud on your hypothesis that someone inside the sect sought out and searched for a convicted hoaxer so that the convicted hoaxer could call a woman’s shelter in another state and then the shelter could contact the police and CPS. Now that, in my eyes, is the most ridiculous thing I have seen.

“Come on now, just the other day you were doing some serious mental gymnastics trying to allude that someone...”


Why yes. Glad you read it. I made it very, very clear that we were just speculating, and the issue was the various ways it was possible for Swinton to get inside information.

I even made it clear that none of those options were proveable, at the moment, and they meant ‘nothing’, and that they were far-fetched.


But, as clear as I was, It seems you want to take it out of context, and say I was using it to ‘prove’ the allegations in this case.

You are trying too hard, trying to dismiss something I wasn’t trying to prove.

It wasn’t a threat that I took seriously (that should be clear).

But it’s also very clear, to me and others, that you intended it as a veiled threat. I can understand that you don’t wish to admit it, but that doesn’t change the fact.

“I know voting by these folks makes you nervous “

No more nervous than when Clinton and Gore brought in 100,000 Mexicans, made them citizens, and told them they were registered to vote as Democrats.

It does make one wonder why it was done EN MASSE.

Why didn’t the YFZ Ranch folks go get their own voting applications?


“legal rights to voting, individual liberty, due process, and all that stuff is fine for you but not for them.”

Oh, I want them to have those rights. Apparently they didn’t have them, under the strict rule of Warren Jeffs.

If there are indictments coming, do you want them stopped?

Now, that’s where you’re wrong. The mark of a true believer in the FLDS is this “666” that I have tattooed on my... oh, nevermind.

(Do you seriously not realize how ludicrous such a statement is? And how transparent?)

They didn’t feel the need to vote before, but now are going to exercise their vote, which they are entitled to. That would be my guess to the first question.

Secondly, you seem to be a believer that the fishing expedition is going to pay off in indictments. I doubt it. But, if they do get some indictments then let the prosecution commence. You can’t have unreasonable search and seizure and expect evidence to stand, so it is of my opinion that the state screwed the pooch on doing anything other than line the pockets of these people. Stupid is as stupid does.

So, you honestly can’t imagine why a group that has been attacked by “the law” and “politics” might develop a sudden interest in “the law” and “politics”?

Two words come to my mind: “Self Defense”. Seems obvious to me!

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re really not that obtuse. However, that requires me to believe that you’re being disingenuous.

“But it’s also very clear, to me and others, that you intended it as a veiled threat. I can understand that you don’t wish to admit it, but that doesn’t change the fact.”

Have you been reading the minds of these mysterious “others”? Some people even hear voices in their heads from mysterious “others.”

Have you been reading JRochelle’s mind too, since you are so sure it’s a “veiled threat”? Just asking.

I entered in to this conversation to note for the record that I am not one of those “others” to which you refer. In fact, I think it would be enlightening if you could share with all of us just who these “others” are.

Or, perhaps it the existence of these “others” that gives you a nervous tick?

Most excellent point. Shouldn’t need to be spoken, but sometimes you gotta type slow so it penetrates. I think you see the mental gymnastics to create boogiemen and subversion to defend the CPS and the state. This whole article is about the state playing victim, from prairie dresses and stern looks. You can’t make this stuff up, but yet, some here can make up the most outlandish tales on a whim. Methinks, some of these people write fiction for a living. A bunch of Stephen Kings living with the light on.

I’m not arguing with that. What I was arguing about was that to defend your position, you say things like ‘scary prairie dresses’.

It makes you look childish.

Not today... I took my meds.

I do sometimes, when I don’t take my meds.

Don’t need to read a mind, just read for meaning. I guess you have to know the context. Anyway, how could I read a mind that’s totally blank? I already told ya, I can do that sometimes, but I took my meds this AM.

>> I entered in to this conversation to note for the record that I am not one of those “others” to which you refer.

Duly noted. Your name has been entered in the Book Of Not Others. Send me your mailing address and I’ll send you a beautiful, leather bound certificate. And a set of steak knives.

>> In fact, I think it would be enlightening if you could share with all of us just who these “others” are.

SORRY DAVE, I CAN’T DO THAT. Why that would give away exactly who all is in the super series Free Republic chapter of Latter-Day Danites! That would be a hugh misteak. My beeber would be stuned. I’m super serial.
