Suggested Weekend Reading

Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism ^

[Retired Greyhound]

I turn to the Bible above all things. But this is one Reagan book that always gets me back into the fighting spirit when I am down.

Reagan despised communism, and made it his mission in life to destroy it. He succeeded. His tactics are discussed in this book, and may prove useful during the Obama administration. .

Christ is my savior and redeemer. Reagan is my hero.

I also recommend this wonderful DVD set, which I own. http://www.shoppbs.org/sm-pbs-american-experience-reagan-dvd--pi-1418191.html

It is nice to be able to relive the glory years.

Cool. Thanks. Tine to get back to basics and inspiration for the vision we hold of this great country and the contribution and tactics of our previous great leaders and peoples. Teach us about going forward. We will need all the help we can get. God will give us that strength and this election has given clarity. Thanks again. I will check them out.

[rram1989]

Yes..Reagan's War is one of the best books Ive read in quite some time. Just this evening I finished going through it for the third time. Inspirational reading. With Obama in the presidency and gains in the house and senate the liberals have not had this much power since Carter, and we know how that turned out. Maybe that is our silver lining tonight. The Carter years brought us Reagan. So who is our Reagan in 2012?

[NewJerseyJoe]

Atlas Shrugged. Tonight, it became the playbook for the next four years.

[Recovering_Democrat]

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

Refrain

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

Refrain

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.

Refrain

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain

[Undertow]

I read about half of Serfdom last night before I fell asleep.

I would suggest all Freepers read it. Hayek is a prophet.

Also suggested: Atlas Shrugged, The Fatal Conceit, Socialism by Mises and Animal Farm.

anyone know how to clean and cook squirrel?

Remember that frog you cut up in high school? Squirrels aren't much bigger. Full disclosure - I have never cut up anything bigger than chickens, and someone else killed them. If I ever have to do a deer, I'll approach it as if it were a giant Freshman Biology frog. At least I won't have to label each part in neat little letters.

After you get it cut up, meat is meat. Wild animals don't carry much fat so it would dry out easily.
