Howdy everyone!! Are you ready for a FReepathon?!!
Well, I'm certainly glad to see this day. Glad to be home and glad to be here. I thank you all very much for all the prayers and support you gave while I was in the hospital. Thank God I got outta there with most of my parts still intact!!
And just in time to start ramping up for another exciting national election cycle! It'd be more exciting if we had a conservative running, but guess we'll have to do the best we can. I'm not excited about McCain, but we're going to have to do all we can to block the America-hating Marxist Osama Obama from gaining control of the most powerful office in the world!! And we're going to have to do all we can to unseat the Marxist left from our congress. Our freedom and our very right to exist as a free nation depends upon it!!
Thank you all very much for your continuing support for Free Republic. Thank you for making FR the very best conservative site on the Net!!
God bless you all, God bless our troops and God bless America!!
STRENGTH
Nothing is so strong as gentleness
and nothing is so gentle as real strength.
- Ralph W. Sockman
And here's an ancient Chinese one: "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were:
These facts formed the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs, the evolution of the Hollywood actor, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide all the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years, Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, college professors, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, firemen, lumberjacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, golfers, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history.

On the Fourth of July, as they have for 232 years, our men and women in uniform stand ready to defend freedom and liberty around the globe.
God bless them and all their families.

LEADERSHIP
To move people with words
it is essential to be true and cutting.
If your words are not true and to the point,
the reaction they evoke will be shallow -
who would take them to heart?
