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!

Congrats, Jim.

I always believed in you, even when they said you were a moderate.

Congratulations, Jim! That's quite an honor.

Are you allowed to even write the word "opus" when referring to yourself?

I consider myself a moderate, even though about 98% of the world is to the left of me. They’re all extremists.

The 2% to my right are idealists.

A nation that relies on the morality of it's citizens? Without government enforcement through endless laws and regulations? Sounds pretty extreme to me. Count me in.

I wish I could be an extremist too, but I'm just a knuckle-dragging right-wing nutjob. *sob*

Begging your indulgence, but you, of all people, should know better than to rely on something that "somebody sent you."

Your Madison quote is bogus. It appears in one place - the writing of the man who claims Madison says it - and one place only. All references to the quote come from that one source. He has no idea where he got it. He has no notes on where he got it. It does not exist in Madison's hand or in any contemporaneous record of him either saying it or writing it.

I bring this up because it is quite appropo of the current "troubles" - which I believe were stoked largely by a disregard of any prudent skepticism of what you read on the internet.

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

I'm afraid you'll have to point to where in the court proceedings Judge Greer approved of your use of the self-appellation "extremist." Otherwise, it CANNOT be true.
