The time has passed for sitting around and talking about what is going on to the point we actually have do something! I beg you, find a way, be in DC. Don't look for the reasons you can't, find the reasons you can. It is just one day out of the thousands you have, use a couple of days of your life to support the American Way. Philosophy has never built anyrhing.

I honestly believe that action now will cause much less pain later.

I was in Dallas last week for my daughter’s wedding. The cousin of my friend who put us up told me she just couldn’t get there after I told her we were going (from Buffalo, ny).
I’m so proud of her - something changed her mind after we talked and she’s flying up and staying at two different hotels to stay the weekend. THIS IS WORTH being there to swell the numbers.

We’ll be at the FR Convention, and the March on 9/12. We’re SO excited about this!

I don't care who is going to pay for it and give me what I WANT, as long as I don't have to work for it!

It's my right as a human...

Naw, the Original Dads wrangled through a Constitutional Convention just to get away from their nagging wives, mouthy kids, martinet bosses, buttinski church elders, and pain-in-the-ass neighbours for almost four months of water balloon throwing, boozing, joy buzzing, boozing, whoopee cushioning, boozing, food fighting, boozing, secret rituals, boozing, and further new records for debauchery among the grand high exhausted mystic brethren of the Loyal and Fraternal International Order of Friendly Mongeese.

But in the end it was General Washington and the troops that actually made things change wasn’t it.

I used to be a regular around here, now that was some years ago - so I thought I would peek in tonight and see where the “Freepers” were. While I think I have evolved, I think the FreeRepublic community has stagnated into some “comment on the socialist news the day” organization. “An object will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force” Newton.

My hope is that we will all be there. I know that there is three buses coming from Missouri, I, myself will be flying into Maryland and taking the Metro. After the rally I will take the kids to see the natural history museum.

No, Washington and the boys got rid of the British first. From there it became a question of what to build. And to build you need material. If you're going to build a lasting government (well, a government you hope is going to last, anyway), that material is philosophy.

Philosophy without action is like breaking wind in a crowded room. It gets everyone's attention for awhile but then fades away.

There is nothing more repulsive than lethargic brilliance.

Gee, we're so sorry to have disappointed you so.

Please, what can we do to make you come back? We can't "evolve" without you (barf).
