Girdle: truth (the Liberals are pantless)
Shoes: Good news
Sword: The Word of God
Shield: faith (without which it is impossible to please God)
Yeah, they may as well keep it - seems we aren’t using it anymore.
The wiles of the Devil has no offense or defense against all that armor!
GGG ping
BTTT!
Great find!
A great find on (or near) the Fourth!
To High Treason!
but on the eve minus 1 of this, the most Holy day of Freedom in the entire history of Man, it is sullied by our country, OUR COUNTRY!, supporting Zelaya's soft coup facilitated by Hugo Chavez while the legal and proper institutions of Honduras struggle against the weight of the whole insane world.
When the Brits were defeated at Saratoga, at the surrender ceremony their band played, what was for them, an appropriate tune called: “The World Turned Upside Down.” That would work for this Fourth of July also...
Thanks for the ping.
Hadn’t heard about this......
Awesome!!

How exceedingly thoughtful of you, honoring my man Tommy J! :-) I give George credit for winning a couple of battles, too. :-)
I suppose as a Washingtonian, you're going to celebrate in the Washington manner of a double ration of rum and an artillery salute?
If you do, mind if I join you? ;-)
One thing I find amusing about the story of the writing of the DoI is how Tommy J wanted to get out of the city, so he rented rooms at the Graff House that was on the outskirts of the city. Of course, in the 21st Century, the reconstruction of the Graff House (original torn down in late 19th Century) is about as thickly in the city as one could be, with miles and miles of city built out beyond it and the adjacent buildings looming above.
It's also sad how the beautiful lands of recreation southwest of Philly have now become some of the ugliest urban/industrial blight around. Poor agrarian Tommy J would be appalled. :`-(
How small the city--and America--was back then, yet how such a brilliant group could be found and put together this Republic....whilst we now have hundreds of millions of citizens, yet find only the dregs we call our representatives.

Actually, it would probably be worth alot more.
Yeah, he had some good ideas.
He just couldn’t always live up to them, or stand up for them.
Well put, friend...
