Now, at 15 I adored Rafael Sabatini. Subtle it ain't, but at 15 I wasn't in for subtle. There's no social or personal existential crisis that can't be solved by a rapier through the gullet. En garde!
I read Sabatini and Dumas in college when I had time to kill; the library had full sets.
;o)
What a neat old thread! And it has harpies! Ah, count me in as one who DOES NOT miss them.
Ping to me to read all of it after work.
Yes, I’m well aware that you feel threatened by social conservatism.
For me, he happens to be an interesting guy who thinks along the same line as me. A Christian conservative. Theologically he's a little weak and some of his ideas don't always pan out, but all in all he's megaphone for conservatism.
What is the problem?
for some odd reason I thought you wrote “lighting the Grail shaped BACON”.
that would also have been funny.
They are fun to play with!
I certainly do not hate Limbaugh. I find him entertaining and informative.
His fans, however, speak of him with such reverence and awe as to border on zealotry.
They make him some great leader or genius whose name must never be tarnished with criticism.
That just drives me nuts! ;-)
I think Jim should have an auction. Anyone can post the name of their favorite troll. Then people can donate for a zot, the name with the highest total donations in their name gets ZOTed of the island.
It would probably be the end of freepathons.
“If one doesn’t understand the WRATH of God and how much He HATES sin, then one will NEVER understand the love of God and what He did for us.”

That is a thoughtful statement. Some of the posts here really make one think.
What stances on what issues are you labeling trollish?
That being said, I don't think conservatives should have to be cardboard cut outs marching in lock-step on every single issue. I have always enjoyed the fact that there is a lot of very intelligent discussion and divergent interests and opinions here.
One aspect of this forum of which I do question the value is the incessant religious ranting and needling that goes on here between Protestants and Catholics. Rush and other good conservative talk show hosts do not allow their air time to be squandered with this stuff and I think those who do it here, often with enormously long screaming large type color postings, are indulging in an arrogant and selfish waste of bandwidth.
