I think that you should be apprised of the fact that flattery has never gotten anyone anywhere with me.

Now, now ........ you must be apprised that no one here is trying to "get anywhere" with you.

;-)

I was just honestly suggesting that those succinct, heartfelt/AMERICAN, and incredibly correct and upright remarks of yours deserve to be on a ......... let's say, a thread dedicated to Free Republic's greatest and most meaningful posts.

That would be a thread I would like to see someday.

p.s. Here's another great one by Lazamataz (his brilliant history of FR)

Take care and please be well up there in beautiful Connecticut. When do your leaves begin changing?

Oh yes you are...you're trying to get on my "good side".

Thanks for your kind words, but I was just trying to explain to someone where I am coming from. This is how I was raised, how I raised my kiddo, and how she is raising her kiddo. My statements don't belong on FR's home page, as you stated, nor as a thread header; they're just my unchanged and unchangeable feelings.

Laz's HISTORY OF FR is a good read.

The leaves have just begun to change and it looks like we'll have a great season for the peepers.
