Then the term “fearless leader” wasn’t snide or sarcastic?
From what I can see around here, a more accurate picture is that science-literate people just get frustrated with the stupendous level of ignorant tripe spouting forth from overconfident medieval-minded bumpkins and decide to move on to greener pastures while getting in a last swing against an easy target on the way out, just for fun.
Funny, some of the insignificant things people actually stroke their own egos about online. I guess that's the beauty of the internet.
Admin; Eyes open - surely this is a returnee from TOS (the obscure site) looking for a star, or whatever they reward each other with for getting banned on FR.
Now, what did your PHearless leader used to say...you're on "virtual ignore"? Speaking of ignorant tripe...
I admire you.
Good job. Jesus smiles on your lust for inflicting pain on your enemies. You will reap as you have sown.
I wonder what the FR rules are about instigating flame wars with intentional insults.
Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
exactly.
Do you really see yourself as a Phrisee in the role of trying to trick Jesus... I have the feeling something went wrong with that analogy.
Actually I think he sees himself as Jesus, and thinks the verse gives him the right to try and trap people, as long as they're only "Darwinists."
It was like tickling a blowfish...LOL!
Prayer warrior ping. Is this the type of Christians we have now-a-days?
NewLand...I'm would not be proud to call myself a Christian, if that is what you think being a Christian is all about.
Jim Robinson...you see what some people are doing to rid the forum of people who don't believe the same way they do? I think the Scientists who have been banned should be offered the opportunity to come back if they so choose. They were goaded into being banned...hardley seems fair!
We all were able to express different opinions, and debate them without mass bannings before...what happened that we can now not get along with those who don't agree with us?
I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I’m receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I’m NOT fair and balanced. I’m biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I’m trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.
Jim Robinson

>>“fearless leader” was the term used on the rocky & bullwikle show by a pair of clods - Natasha and Boris - to refer to their totalitarian boss. Implication is that RP is a totalitarian, and anyone who supports him is an idiot.<<
You know its also a Coltrane album - I wonder which came first and if there is a connection.
Thank you for the kind sentiment.
I suggest you now quickly don your flame suit and look for some cover. I expect you’ll have incoming very soon.
Greetings trussell!
Personally, I'm having too much fun reading the posts to spoil it with replies. ; )
..only if he were running for governor of Minnesota
