THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.

Tom Paine

That Tom Paine quotation has always been one of my favorites and seems timeless in its ability to remain relevant.

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Yes, and it’s also a good thing to see whether one is willing to dedicate the time. If a mere 12000+ post conservative related thread isn’t worth the time, then the strength to fight for conservatism needs a little workout IMO.

“”Yeah it is. Go research and report back.””


So it never was about the issue or the question , it was simply to be annoying and confrontational, that is the type of thing that is so distracting and time consuming, and a little surprising considering the adult nature of this forum.

That’s right.

What’s a few ‘hours’ between friends!

Yeah it was. It’s just that you are becoming annoying now.

And a simple one liner from Paine:

THOSE who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.

If anybody is keeping a list now, add Veronique aka Veronica.

The easiest way to get zotted has been to slam and distort conservative candidates to falsely make liberal Giuliani look better. Yet, the curiousity of the light is too alluring for some.

“Veronica”

Though I only recognize the name from this thread, I remember that username flying into, bouncing around and getting tangled up in the wiring of the zapper a couple of nights ago. I was surprised she/he managed to make it well enough to fly off again.

She flew to another thread Jim posted on Rudy.

I guess she just couldn’t resist the allure.
