First, even though I cannot possibly respond to each and every post, I want to thank you all very much from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of love, support and prayer while I was in the hospital and continuing during the recovery. It's going to be a long process rebuilding my strength and discovering how to do for myself all the things I used to do, but I am determined not to let the loss of my legs stop me. God willing, I'm not done yet! There's way too much work to be done. We've barely begun to fight these socialist/crony capitalist bastards and highway robbers who are trying to destroy this free nation that was inspired by God and rob us of not only the fruits of our labor, but also of our individual rights and freedoms that were granted by Him. God willing, we will persevere in this fight. The cost of liberty is eternal vigilance!

And thank you all very much for your Happy Birthday wishes yesterday. I can assure you it was my happiest birthday ever. Just to be alive and home, surrounded by loving family and friends and with the love, prayers, support and encouragement of our extended FReeper family is the greatest birthday gift ever and it means all the world to me. I am so grateful and so happy. God bless you all.

And now we're nearing the half-way point in the last FReepathon of the year. We'll soon be to the point where we roll in the monthlies and we'll be on the homestretch. Then, once over the top, we'll have the funds needed to complete the year and we can better concentrate on our main mission, fighting the evil bastards at every step and restoring our God given freedom!

We’re going to need FR now more than ever because we're in for the fight of our lives against the entrenched ruling class who are dead set on running our lives through their unconstitutional socialist/statist policies! And, yes, eventually, the nation-wrecking, liberty-killing Obamacare must be repealed and free enterprise restored! We must promote and elect dedicated, constitution defending, liberty defending tea party conservatives to get this job done (hello Ted Cruz)!

FR is funded solely by the donations made by the people who love and use it. We sell no advertising or merchandise. We have no corporate sponsors or sugar daddies and accept no government subsidies. This means no annoying commercial ads, no ad tracking, and no pop ups!! And no outside influences trying to pressure, sway or control us. It’s just us freedom-loving grassroots conservatives exercising our first amendment rights by using and funding one of our favorite and most useful news and activism organizations.

Thank you all very much for your continuing support!! Your loyal support keeps FR alive and is truly and greatly appreciated.

Special prayers for all our members in need.

God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

Thank you, Colorado!

Inspiration for
America the Beautiful
was
Pikes Peak, Colorado



Pikes Peak, America's Mountain


Taken from a line in 'America the Beautiful' the patriotic song was written by
Katharine Lee Bates in 1893. She wrote other versions later, in 1904 and 1913.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Katharine Lee Bates wrote the song following an inspirational
visit to Pikes Peak, Colorado, USA, which she later described:

"One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse."

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.

Beware the hobby that eats.

Beautiful photo!

[bd476]

Yes, I miss him too, Caww. Great memories of those years, including the night he won in 1980.

I wasn't much involved with politics then unfortunately but I really liked his demand to “Tear Down this Wall”......which was what brought me to paying closer attention....then after his great quote the whole area fell like dominoes.....it was exciting to see.
