And the roiling zombie cult like groupies of TOTUS a sea of waving hands just to meet the little plastic god and his ancillary meat thing puppet.
With enough lead-in, a “whodunnit” thread might be doable.
Difficult, but doable.
Freepathon is over, guess that answered the supposed question.
Ditto for the Tea Party. A number of rallies I attended in the hay day found people more interested in the signs we all carried ("Ooo that's a good one...") than causing hell for politicians. And the politicians who came out of the wood work to cozy up to the TP. Made my stomach turn.
“Somewhere there is a litigious nail holding his cranium.”
Some of us who should be retired are: still working full time plus a lot of extra hours trying to keep a business going; raising grandchildren, keeping up with our state rep and senator and well as those who represent us in DC to monitor their activities, their voting record and sending them a weekly email plus a phone call to share our opinion; reading entire bills such as Obamacare so that we are well informed; monitoring the activities of our local city council and the mayor and attending those meetings and sharing our opinions in writing and by phone; monitoring the activities of our county commissioner and sharing our opinions on issues being voted on; monitoring the activities of our local sheriff and sharing our opinions; writing our State Insurance Commissioner about issues which are problematic and systems that are unnecessarily expensive and cumbersome from a compliance standpoint; listening to the news on local stations and taking the news directors to task for presenting only one side of an issue; serving on the Board of a local Republican group and dealing with Ethics Commission issues; sharing things we learn from reading FR articles with friends, family and low information voters spread across several states via email so they can be better informed; lending support to other groups such as the TEA Party and the Heritage Foundation; supporting candidates such as Mia Love.
You’re right - I don’t stand on overpasses and wave a sign so much any more - but there are only so many hours in a day and so many dollars in the bank account. There are many battles to be fought and each person has to decide what they can do within the limits of their abilities to be effective.
I, for one, would be devastated if FR were not around. The knowledge that I have gained is priceless and allows me to be a thorn in lots of people’s side because I never hesitate to share what I learn. May God continue to shine down on you all and bless Jim for all his hard work.
My involvement in FreeRepublic made at easier for me when I decided to run for County Supervisor in 2012. Years of honing my ideas and understanding the conservative philosophy was instrumental in my victory.
I implore anyone thinking of running for office to just do it. Get involved in your local County GOP and start being a part of. It is vastly more satisfying to actually enact chane then just talking about it.
The video for “welcome to the machine” where the waving hands turn red and then become a red ocean.
“Joooooin us! Jooooooin us!”
Welcome to FR.
I take my son for a ride down the twisty road. He waves his 4 year old head and I get a red ocean of vomit.
No video on that one, but he repeated it once again for me in Hawaii above a volcano in a helicopter with a pilot flying like he was on a combat mission.
Not all of it, but a fair portion. And I do work for a living. Forty years in the computer business and now I’m semi-retired and only work 16 hrs per day / 7 days per week. And my two sons and another partner with me. And we all earn a living. Thanks.
Is that Busta Moooooove?
He blessed you with, “Dad, I don’t feel goo-BLURGGORCH!”
Always a treat.
My nephew did that to us.
At least it wasn’t in the car as we had enough time to get him outside before he launched a gut missile.
“I cast Magic Missile!”
Well, he was in helicopters three other times and there was none of these big turns like we had in Hawaii. The volcano was blowing hard after being dormant for weeks and even the pilot was excited. Especially since they make money with an active volcano.
The location of such things change over the years as well. I had seen that volcano a decade earlier and the tube and lave moved miles since the last time.
His mother gets sick with motion all the time as well. Needs pills if we go on an ocean voyage and we get waves.
Ah, not a constant faster of magic missile then.
Neither is my missus.
As long as she is driving.
Ummm.. How many hit points of damage does it do, and how much armor do you need to defend against it?
And is that anything like a cat producing a furball?
Makes for an interesting vacation.
After kids vomit, you hydrate. They get get real ill after that.
Which edition rules?
Magic resistance helps, don’t recall base damage off the top of my head.
Yes, hairball is the feline version.
