Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC. The first European contact with Native Americans in Pennsylvania was made by the Englishman, Captain John Smith, who journeyed from Virginia here in 1608 and visited with the local tribe. In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg. In the spring of 1785, the town was formally surveyed by William Maclay, who was a son-in-law of John Harris, Sr. In 1791, Harrisburg became incorporated and was named the Pennsylvania state capital in October 1812, and has been since.

20 some odd years ago, my kid brought home a rap CD- that I took umbrage with... until I listened to it, by DC Talk. One of their CD’s had the following song on it-
“Socially Acceptable”
(It’s okay, it’s all right)
It’s okay, it’s alright
Yeah, here we go
dcT is in the house boy
It’s okay, it’s alright
Whatcha thinking, doing the things you do
Whose opinion are ya listening to?
Justifying, you turn it all to gray
Synchronizing to society’s ways
Society has gotten to be all outta whack
And don’t bother with excuses whether white or black
To blame it on a color won’t get a result
Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost
In reality our decency has taken a plunge
“In God We Trust” is an American pun
Funny how it happened so suddenly
Hey yo fellas, kick the melody...
[chorus]
Socially acceptable, it’s okay, it’s all right
Socially acceptable, it’s okay, in whose sight
Socially acceptable
Times are changing, with morals in decay
Human rights have made the wrongs okay
Something’s missing, and if you’re asking me
I think that something is the G-O-D
To label wrong or right by the people’s sight
Is like going to a loser to ask advice
And by basing your plans
On another man’s way of living life
Is creating a brand of ethics
Sure to be missing the punch
No count morals that are out to lunch
They’re sliding away cause everything is okay
It was taboo back then but today ya say, “What the hey”
[repeat chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Everybody’s doin’ it
Who’s doin’ it
Everybody’s doin’ it
Yo, who’s doin’ it
Everybody’s doin’ it
Who’s doin’ it
Everybody’s doin’ it
Yo, yo, yo, who’s doin’ it
Ohhhh, alright
Ohhhh, come on
[bridge]
We gotta back to the principles found in the Word
A little G-O-D could be society’s cure
From the state that we’re in cause again we’re slipping
So pray for America cause time is ticking
[repeat chorus 2x]

A group of musical youngsters warned us years ago- based on those old stuffy Biblical principles that a few of us know about yet today.
Bitter clingers unite!

I thought Matt asked it, but now I think yes, it was Willie......
....yes, and I can see him staging the question
Trump........who I support, vote for, volunteer, and make phone calls for....
...does not like to deflect questions when asked, God love him....
....but I sure wish he had deflected this.
I still say his answer was proGovernor, who is against transgender!
......and wish he had also said.....Sure, Jenner is welcome to come up to my penthouse and use MY bathroom!
After realizing that someone very important like the president of the world must have died, due to nonstop wall to wall coverage, and based on the fact that I couldn’t take it anymore, I sought refuge at the Weather Channel, (once again.)
ALSO!....
LOVED your pictures and commentary on the rally!
You are a lovely lovely lady!!
OUr side falls for this stuff every year.
Why doesn’t someone ask Hillary if it’s okay for a woman to have an abortion, on demand, when she’s in labor, when there is no risk to the woman’s health. Yes or no.
It’s quite simple...
If you were born with a penis & XY chromosomes (that can NEVER be changed), you’re a male and MUST use a MEN’s restroom or school’s male showering facility.
Anyone who denies basic Biology101 and believes they are anything they think they are at any moment is either a pervert or someone with a massive mental disorder.
These demented psychotics need professional help to discover their own biology.
We are on the road to Sodom & Gomorrah....and NAMBLA is currently pushing for “normalized acceptance”.
What PA district are you in? I’m in the 15th & found out some names of local delegates who are running & support Trump.
newfreep, You may be part of the missing freep family that all of us freep-likes, yearn to be reconnected with? Here’s to the cyber dna connection. Insert clinking glasses sound. “Clink!”
I was awarded single custody of my 4 year old son in 1985. I love that kid with all my heart- but he has succumbed to Nihilism. Tragic. Thank you society for supplanting the family with diabolical constructs. I remarked how upset I was by a recent news report that a school was indoctrinating 3rd graders about transgenders. He shut down our conversation and I left in defeat, estranged from my progeny. Dumbfounded. Resilient. WOLVERINES!
Well, to find the positive in this bathroom issue...
Trump has made news.
He will be mentioned at every media venue.
News stations will be begging Trump for an appearance or even a telephone call-in.
The Cruz debate argument will be put to bed. (Donald taking the spot light again)
Lastly, the chairs on the train will get shuffled making room for more on the fence riders.
Thank you. Feel so blessed !
Bathroom issue had just started, just watch , in future all bathroom will be unisex. problem will be solved for ever.
There are new trend in upper class, attach seperate His and Her bathroom with Master bedroom.
Was it Hannity who said he would post a list on his website. If so we need to distribute the link to all we know in PA who are DJT supporters Maybe even post daily at beginning of thread.
There are more important issues in current cycle, Bathroom is not an issue.
If Hillary is the Dem nominee, the vast majority of the Bernie supporters will NOT vote for her! Many will just NOT vote, but some WILL vote for Trump! None of them will EVER vote for Cruz or KaSicko!
On our side, nobody will vote for Hillary or Bernie, if Trump isn't the nominee! But the new people whom Trump brought in won't vote for the Dem nor Cruz or KaSicko and a VERY large part of the base won't either!
This is the factual info you can and must tell people like that. :-)
LOL...that’s really NOT a “new” trend; it’s been around for a VERY LONG time...like his & hers closets. :-)
Cousin Freep,
So sorry to hear of your son - our children can bring so much joy and yet so much heartbreak. Been there. Done that...and the pain remains.
Keep the faith - in the end, it’s all we have.
“What PA district are you in? I’m in the 15th & found out some names of local delegates who are running & support Trump.”
I’m in the 11th district (which I ALSO didn’t know). I found the names on the internet, but I’m sure most of the people who go in there to vote next Tuesday aren’t going to know to do that in advance.
Now that’s funny.
