Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

Aiming for #12,000 EV?

I’m still chuckling over Iwo Jima’s “Gig ‘em Aggies” from the other night, IJ?

Where are you? LOL

Nite!

[EternalVigilance]

Dang. Bracketed it for the third thousand in a row. ;-)

That’s very nice. Long may she wave! G’night, EV.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

ooooooh, I didn't realize I was near the top! 12,000! here's my belated flag...

You’re the one acting like someone was banned by mistake. Apparently not so, since that kind of issue doesn’t linger.

Are you drunk?

[Tolsti]

Post some more flags

[EternalVigilance]

Night, T’wit!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?

[T'wit]

I was just teasing. {yawn..............} (Watch the editorial wizard instruct me in ellipses.)

>>>>>Are you drunk?

Put the bong down and step back. LOL

JMO. He may have been called for spamming. You know how NU enjoys those Rudy in a dress pics!

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Caught up again

[Tolsti]

Read it. People aren’t banned like napkin by mistake. Not for this long.

Excellent points!

[EternalVigilance]

It’s possible. It’d be nice to know.

Well, as a new page in the Bug Zapper Thread begins, let me encourage any lingering RudyBots to 'come to the light lil' bots!', with the following most interesting quote:

"If Rudy Giuliani — who is wrong on all of the social issues as well as the Second Amendment...is the Republican presidential nominee, I would expect a mass exit of most conservatives from the Republican Party in 2008"
-- Richard A. Viguerie, December 2006

I'm sure most people recognize who Richard Viguerie is?

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Interesting watermark on that photo :)

Hmmm... I looked into it and it’s actually pretty minor. Keyword abuse. I’ve lifted the suspension.
