"Nothing by NicknamedBob? Is outrage!"

All of my heroes are too meek and unassuming. You wouldn't style Winston Smith of 1984 as a libertarian, would you?

I need to read the ones I haven’t, Kipling in particular. Every FReeper should read and understand The Gods of the Copybook Headings, it has a thoroughly conservative message.

Deuteronomy 10:12
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but

• to fear the Lord thy God,
• to walk in all his ways, and
• to love him, and
• to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

[NicknamedBob]
