FreeRepublic Fundraiser -- Important -- FreeRepublic NEEDS Your Help! (Thread 43)

8/31 -- 9/5/2001 | Topaz & Ron C.

It will be very easy for you to say, "Well, I will do something, some day. When I can afford it, I am going to." But would you let an old "grad" tell you one thing now? Giving is a habit. Get into the habit now, because you will never be able to afford to give and contribute, thus to repay the obligation you owe to those people who made this college possible, if you wait until you think you can afford it. Start now regardless of how small, and in the days to come when you are confronted with demands for many worthwhile causes and charities I think you will find that you will give dutifully to all the worthy ones. But here and there you will pick one or two that will be favorites, and you can do no better than to pick this, your Alma Mater, because you will not only be repaying your own personal obligations, you will be making your contribution to the very process which has made and continues to keep America great.
This democracy of ours which sometimes we've treated so lightly, is more than ever a comfortable cloak, so let us not tear it asunder, for no man knows once it is destroyed where or when he will find its protective warmth again. - Ronald Reagan

Help keep the dream alive!

Imagine if there was no Free Republic... gasp!

- No Sore Loserman protests to save an election...

- No Washington Times Ad pushing Congress to Impeach...

- No exposing of traitorous public officials...

- No media watchdog to ferret out the bias...

- No Breaking News...

For these reasons and a thousand others, please support Free Republic

While the large donations are exciting, the small ones may be more treasured ...... they may actually be sacrificial. So don't be reluctant to give if your donation can only be $5 or $10 ..... those are vital to the success of FR. And bumps help, too! :-) - posted by WillaJohns -

FreeRepublic and Jim Robinson's finances

Check #46. I'm sure it applies to you.

[headsonpikes]

I'm getting the impression you're used to getting the last word...a lot! LOL!

[BADJOE]

$50.00 more in from California,

Thank you California.

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

ROTFL!

[Askel5]

I'm still awaiting more on the decision. I can't help being somewhat wary, though, given the abysmal record of the New York Diocese in particular and the AmChurch bishops in general on matters of human life.

As for the shortage of priests, it's a direct fault of the liberalizing of parishes in large part thanks to the American Bishops. I find it passing strange they've millions of dollars they can chuck at assorted leftist, secular causes -- including Saul Alinsky's "Interfaith" and IAF -- but plead poverty when it comes to closing the churches their consistent liberalism have emptied by disillusioning, confusing and alienating faithful Catholics.

They awarded TEN MILLION from this year's annual CHD shearing of the faithful. It's a sick joke.

I am not a fan of the American Bishops as a rule. It does not escape my attention that a Cardinal's letter to Rumsfeld on the subject of landmines and their current Media Campaign both PRECEDE a lengthy and sometimes ambiguously-worded discussion of ESCR at the nccbuscc site. I trust I'll be forgiven for what I think is justifiable wariness and outright disobedience where they are concerned but we've officially been at odds since my first editorial on their pastoral letter on nuclear arms.

Let me answer your question with a short story.

At the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, The Who was scheduled to perform right after Jimi Hendrix, but they refused to because they knew they could not outdo his rock histrionics. No one wanted to follow him, as a matter of fact.

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

What can I say. I've ended more threads than a seamstress in a jeans factory!

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

Thank you California!!!!

[Fred Mertz]

Remember the time in DC I shook you down for 5 bucks?

[Askel5]

badjoe's got my "graphic" b-day greeting posted above!

Thanks Joe!

[Letitring]

ROTFL. Yep. As a self confessed, Airhead, I do thank you. :)

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

I don't know how long it's been here, but I just noticed I had this reply to box open with your name in it and I have no idea what I was going to say! ROTFLOL!

[Askel5]

And here I thought I was just a sometimes "threadkiller". =)

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

Thank you! I'm going to go check it out. I saw on my self-search you posted it to me.

[Senator Pardek]

Vaguely...

[Letitring]

LOL. I can relate. Totally. :)

[Senator Pardek]

"What a perfomance - you killed 'em!"

[headsonpikes]

"...a sometime thread-killer..."

...of no fixed address...was last seen lurking ...(grin)

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

Anyone who knows enough to letitring is no airhead! Lol
