“Absolutely. There’s a certain emptiness of the soul that prompts one to celebrate the death of another, regardless of their leanings. “
“Leanings” is one thing but actually by the use or threat of force to impose their will on you is quite another.
Those Mormon jihadists are so dangerous. Thanks for making my case.
And who exactly is trying to shut you down? Did someone click the "Abuse" button on you?
Guy Fieri politics never entered his shows. In fact, I’m not so sure anyone can identify his politics. Guy also cooks, has several restaurants, and tries his best to be an entertainer.
Anthony Bourdain did nothing but insult the Food Network hosts and chefs, yet, as Alton Brown noted, Anthony never cooked anything in 14 years.
jihadism isn’t the only danger to society. Anti-Christian religions are. You know, the ones that denounce Jesus and claim rights to sex with children and polygamy.
“Christians celebrate the death of evil. It is what we fight for.”
Otherwise there is no point in fighting.
And how did Anthony Bourdain use the threat of force to impose his will on you?
And who exactly is trying to shut you down? Did someone click the “Abuse” button on you?

About dozens of “we’re better than that!” tsk-tsk-tsk, all the holier-than-thou Bible thumpers, and hand-wringing about what a great place Free Republic used to be before people with gonads showed up who actually LIKE when their enemies stop wasting our precious air?
You don’t have to hit “abuse” to try and shut someone down - you can just attempt to publicly shame them for their comments (good luck on THAT, losers) or present your “side” as the only morally superior position.
“Otherwise there is no point in fighting.”
Which is exactly what these people telling us to be nice are doing. I think they work for the other side, appealing to our nicer nature to just shut up and not fight evil.
“Good to know you’re not a Christian. “
You turn your other cheek...and get that torn off too.
Ah, I see. So we hurt your feelings. Sorry we “abused” you.
“what a great place Free Republic used to be before people with gonads showed up who actually LIKE when their enemies stop wasting our precious air?”
These liberal operatives weren’t around in 1998 through about 2002. The tough talk and actions were off the charts then and very effective. I’d say FR was a major player in the politics of the day. The organized rallies and protests were weekly.
These milquetoasts today would faint if they were to go back and read FR during that period.
“And the most humble! :0) “
You march to the cattle cars for the rest of us...I’ll take a pass.
Yup. Those Mormon rapists are a menace.
“Ah, I see. So we hurt your feelings. Sorry we “abused” you.”
You were the one complaining about people’s negative comments about the dead liberal. Don’t try to turn it around that somehow we’re the ones that are offended. You are the offended one per your own comments.
“Yup. Those Mormon rapists are a menace.”
Glad you agree.
You don't know the Bible very well. Christians can defend themselves.
Besides, you're awfully bombastic on an anonymous forum.
I saw what you did there.
Free Republic is called a forum. People post their opinions on it. Sorry you have problems understanding that.
Well, here we go again. Santimonious FR’s mourning a death of an America hater, cynical FR’s dancing on his grave.
Let’s just understand that this has nothing to do with him. This is just a venue for reaffirming what we adopt as our values.
For my part, I know that no one gets out of this game alavie so you had better leave a footprint that your heirs will be proud of.
Bourdain did not.
