Welcome to PeopleForAFreeCountry.com

No. I have no wish to trick any of you. The ongoing and virulent decline towards bitterness ... grudges carried from one thread to another ... name calling ... defections and assaults on good Patriots' integrity here lately got me to thinking what a site would look like if it was up and running during the Revolutionary War ... during a time when ALL of our futures were at stake, as they are now.

Would it be any different ... or would the same passions and conflicts prevail ... the same differences of opinion? What did they use instead of tin foil ... did they even need it?! What were the arguments ... how were they resolved, if they were?

We've the luxury of FreeRepublic to settle disputes ... or carry them on ... be active or not ... on a minute-by-minute basis. If these long ago Patriots had the same ... how would they have responded?!

I would ask ... if flames are in this thread's future, please direct them towards me ... otherwise...

Here's a start to a thread, begun well over 200 years ago, where everything old is new again ...

Bury the hatchet.

Got Forehead?

If you are refering to FR in general with your 'around h'yar' ... I refuse to believe it.

Naw. I still post on FR, and prolly will for life.... if I can keep from drooling into the keyboard at the nursing home 40 years hence, that is....

To: A+bess May I asked why I was banned the other day. All I said was that I saw a black metal bird dropping off black clad men...

If that is what you saw, then I'd best retire to the bath house and wash myself. Prithee tell me if there is more news...

Touche!!!!!!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I respect Laz. I may not agree with him 100% of the time, but I respect him. Maybe it's because he married my sister.

[Lorena]

Special ping for you two.

[illstillbe]

Eternal Vigilante ... indeed ... good one ... Rattling Saber ... *grins*

[illstillbe]

#79 ... LOL!

Indeed, mercy ... I believe anything is possible.

[Rivendell]

Well, 'tis time for me to depart for a brief respite.

I must hasten to join Lady Rivendell at a local eatery, where we will discuss events of the day, hope for the future, and enjoy a midday repast...

Fare thee well for now - keep your eyes sharp, your spirit strong, and your powder dry!

[illstillbe]

Oh! Lorena ... thank you!

[Pippin]

HE! HE! HE!

[illstillbe]

Again, my thanks, Rivendell ... those were so clever!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

You're welcome - and thank you.

[Under the Radar]

This is truly amazing, thank you for posting it!

To: TJefferson

This draft's bit too flowery for my taste. I think the opening paragraph should read something like this:

"Hey, George, we're leaving. This document sets out why."

But that's just me--living in New Hampshire tends to make me pretty plain-spoken. Maybe the major documents need to be done up in flowery language so people know they're important. If everyone else approves of your draft, count me in.

July 2nd, in Philly, right? I'll pick up some cheesesteak sandwiches and ale for everyone on my way to the meeting.

PS Is Hancock really going to sign his name in 72-point script? LOL :o)

Touhg I'd get in a good laugh after being scared out of my wits reading a thread about 9/11. that sounded like everything was happening now instead of a year ago.
