VANITY NOTICE: I've just learned that I am an "EXTREMIST!" WOO HOO!!

Nicest compliment I've received in a long time.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Y'all might want to be careful who you hang out with. If you are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-Liberty, pro-America and post to FreeRepublic.com, you risk being labeled as an "extremist."

That puts you in the company of extremist folks like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, & Co.

As extremists, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Speaking of quotes from our extremist forefathers, someone sent me these this morning:

George Washington - "..And let us indulge with caution the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion... Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle."

John Adams - "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

James Madison - "We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future ...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."

Noah Webster - "No truth is more evident to any mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

See you at the March for Justice!!

May God continue to bless and watch over America and all her extremists!

We're in good company!

I must've missed the trial. Where was the jury of her peers?

[RushCrush]

Shouldn't we ping that guy?

Guess I'll hang out with the extemists! Good to see there are still a few of us around :)

Juries aren't Constitutionally required in state civil matters.

Here's to the dyed-in-the-wool "fanatical" pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-Liberty, pro-American "dangerous zealots" that post to FreeRepublic.com

May extremism abound!

You de'man, extremist and all - you are in good company, past and present.

PS:

You forgot the vanity tag! :-)

We need a Jeff Foxworthy "if you ...., then you're an extremist."

[Old Professer]

Boy, now there's a thought: Jim Rob's Opus; I'll bet that thread would have a meltdown.

[alcuin]

Jim, thankyou for that beautiful, heartfelt post.

It needed to be said.

Thankyou.

Again, thankyou.

Please post more often . . .

WE NEED YOU!!!

I am always called a "foaming at the mouth right wing conservative" by my lib acquaintances. Haven't ben called a knuckle dragger yet.

Juries are required in cases where the state may order death. This was one of those cases. Unless, of course, you read the 14th Amendment as only applying to criminals which would be a novel reading.

Thanks for letting me hang out with you in your internet home.

[coconutt2000]

Congratulations!

(To a liberal, a moderate appears extreme.)

You know, something like "Terri Schiavo didn't have the benefit of a trial."

When was her trial and what was she found guilty of?

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Old Professer]

Apropos; if you're going to criticize, at least use the spell checker.

[Clint N. Suhks]

So morality really isn't relative? Maybe I should seek a refund for my tuition from all those pinhead professors that told me otherwise. .

[basil]

Sounds about right to me! Extremists, unite!!!

[Jim Robinson]

Since when is it constitutional for a civil trial to sentence a person to death?
