Another special feature of Free Republic Highlights is My Two Cents.

These articles and essays come out almost daily, so put his column on your 'must do' list. You won't be sorry if you like to keep up with current events. If it's happened and it has been reported in the news, he's written about it.

" enjoyed your comments that are featured in this week's Bonus Bytes."

Thank you - you are one of the few.

Even accused of having "sanctimoneus twattle" - after al lot of tests etc. my doctor said I didn't have it - just a cold.

[joanie-f]

Thanks, Jayne. It's always an honor to be included with such excellent writers (this group is especially exceptional!)

[dpa5923]

Thank you. It was a nice surprise to be recognized.

Is there going to be a book? This week's essays deserve to be in book. With all the interest in conservative books, a Best of FR book would be a bestseller.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

The way you brought my two disjointed comments together to help drive my point home is very much appreciated.

The way I see it, the only real way to help decent people awaken to the threats to their way of moral living and thinking is to provide them the evidence that the threat is very real indeed. Those who we few fail to alert to the threat (as opposed to those many who ignor it) are more apt naively to take their happiness for granted, to be made dissatified, and to be more easily led astray.

Furthermore, your reposting of all our comments has surely done what you've set out to do -- give people a second chance to see the best of FR.

Thanks again Jayne. God bless you.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the selections that you make for the rest of us.

It is impossible to read all of the good essays and replies on Free Republic.

Your contributions here enable us to look at some great material. This enables us to find a new person to follow for their Value Added to Free Republic or to something that was really good from one our favorites, we missed during the week.

Thanks for your hard work and great results in this endeavor, Bonus Bytes.

I'm stunned but I'm appreciative. Thanks!

[RJayneJ]

You can never be too careful when it comes to "sanctimonious twattle." You can experience a new outbreak at any time and as you must already know it's highly contagious here on Free Republic.

[RJayneJ]

It's always a pleasure Joanie. Thank you for the great contribution that you make to Free Republic.

[bigjoesaddle]

[Jumper]

Thanks to all who read without getting red my WMD Bonus Byte selection; I wish only that I had take more than 10-minutes of passion to compose on the fly....
