Thanks, C.O.
Topping you is a standard I'm not sure I can keep up over the long term, LOL.
I just don't have the time for FR that I used to spend as the work I set out to do in coming here is largely accomplished. So, I confine myself more these days to quips, insights, and syntheses. I refer people to the Wildergarten Press article page a lot, not because I'm promoting anything as much as I think the set is as original and explanatory synthesis of what has happened to our "constitutionally protected" liberties as any on the net.
Some may come to think of you two as prophets, with warnings unheeded and all that has come to pass. But if one were to read through the research presented by you two as well as other conservatives, it's all about being informed and making principled decisions based on that knowledge, with some life experiences thrown in.
A California Freeper hall-of-fame, dedicated to those who have fought valiantly and honorably for the conservative cause as articulated in the original mission statement, ought to include you two, as well as Jim Robinson, amongst the first inductees.
Well, enough compliments for now. Back to the struggle for freedom...
