What an excellent comment. Not only is it true here, it is true everywhere on every possible subject. Even in parenting, for that matter. Wow, good line.
Thanks for the bump, SJB, but my post got yanked!
It was a simple prayer for Jim Robinson, that God would give him wisdom, and that God would bless our leaders whether they be democrat or republican.
Praying for our country and Free Republic is probably the best thing I can do right now. I’ll continue to read through this thingie between Jedward and EV, but something has gone awry in the spiritual plane if prayer posts are being yanked.
Well, that makes you a Sith as well. I hereby crown you Darth Dog.
Thank you for your service to our country. Tet ‘68 must not have been any kind of picnic.
Check out new tagline.....thanks!
That is good to hear! Its the same old battle, just like its always been around FR, its conservatism versus liberalism. Rooty has already begun splitting conservatives within the GOP. Gotta work hard at knocking Rudy off. After Jim`s spring cleaning getting the message out about Rooty should be somewhat easier, but there are still some serious RudyBoosters around and they're not about to shut up or go quietly into the night.
That version is especially accurate in this case. :)
Glad to see you around again, missed your posts.
It takes a lot to wade through this thread, but you will spot a lot of us throughout.
Life is good.

Clever, stirring the pot and carrying it thread to thread in one fell swoop. How convenient to have it all in one.
No prollum, this thread is a LOT of reading. And besides, you didn't miss anything. Kids will be kids.
>> BTW, there were only a couple of real scientists in that crowd,
If they were real scientists, they wouldn't have to claim that their findings were scientific. Reproducible results do the speaking for them. It's non-science that is obliged to preach.
Excellent metaphor, Delphinium. I’m repeating it below so that I don’t have to remember who wrote it & go hunting for it if I ever want it.
I read a similar short story when I was a kid called “Owls in the Family”.
I read a book as a kid about a pet owl. The owl did all kinds of funny stuff, such as flying into the house carrying a freshly-killed skunk.
But one scene sticks in my head. The boy was out crow hunting with his dad. The crows were staying out of range, and then suddenly the owl hopped up onto a fence post next to them. The crows lost their minds and came after the owl time after time even though they were getting blown out of the sky.
Really good story and does remind me of how these attack EV.
What was the name of that story, I’d like to get it for my grandchildren.
I read one post that said a bunch of evos were leaving FR and the guy pointed out that very few people noticed because they spent so much time on those threads and nowhere else that they didn’t contribute much to the conservative cause.
Allow me to put in my standard plug for Alamo Girl and Betty Boop and their book on crevo stuff. These 2 ladies are amazing freepers.

Announcing a New Book by Alamo-Girl and betty boop [Update at #329]
Darth T'wit, Darth T'wit. What kind of a name is that? I am Darth Vader's ex-wife, Taxi. I hold the one key to destroying the Empire! I plot against the IRS.
Thank you so very much for your encouragements and for mentioning our book!
That might have been it - “Owls in the Family”.
OK, OK, you can be Darth Yellowcab, then.
They didn’t contribute much to the conservative cause anyway. You could count on them generally taking the liberal view on almost any non-evo thread, with the clear exception of gun control. They tended to very much favor big government and especially its control of the school system .
Just doing my part to get this thread to 18,000.
Hooray for Alamo-Girl and Betty Boop! Hip, hip, hoorah! Hear, hear (that’s for all you folks who spell it “here”)! Strike up the band! 76 Trombones led the big parade.......
