Its been quite interesting visiting with DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet--by the way, she was today's winner....a really nice lady with a few quirks... like being willing to cut slack for friends while having a hard time with that same slack for 'others'.
Regardless, she's been doing yeoman's work in keeping the thread bumped. With luck, by the time his program is ready to air, there will be well over 1,000 hits. Exposure is the key! :)
Oh, my. My ears are burning again. Now, if I talk about you to other people instead of directly to you, are you more likely to read it? Or is this good?
I hope so. Here goes:
It's not about slack, and I am not part of any FR cliques. I never saw the word "Kult" until EV pointed it out to me (when I thanked EV for doing so), and even the word "cult" is subject to multiple interpretations - and I think it was used in a most benign way.
Example: I like the President. If someone accused me of being in a "Bush Kult", I wouldn't particularly care. I'm secure in my Christian faith, and in context, the word has no religious connotation. What's to be offended about? I like President Bush. So what?
"Secret societies" was clearly a reference to the President, as anyone who follows politics and would darken FreeRepublic's door knows (hardly a subtle reference). There is only one person KFP could have been talking about. There is only one thing KFP WAS talking about. To be coy about it ("When did I say Bush?", to paraphrase) was disingenuous. It's not complicated, Rowdee - but you may have the last word (and I know you will, though probably to someone else, and not to me) because I'm tired of trying to explain the distinction. I'll just let it go now.
