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.

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.

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.
