Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
Sanity...
I too hope for big pick ups in Congress and Senate. The problem is that the Left has made such a mess that the first two years after the election will require hard decisions and pain - this will be poinc ed upon by the Left and their backers in the MSM and may very well turn the tide back to the disasters we currently have. If it happens as I fear, we can kiss our once-great Nation goodbye.
this thread is turning into bizarro world with the lies and distortions that are being thrown around...
why dont these people understand that insults arent winning anyone over to their political saviour/idol ???
how many times must i simply say, vote for mittens if you must, but i will NOT comply ???
I know the feeling; but it’s been SO long ago for me...
We need to get our 'hope' and our 'change' pointed in a different direction:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (niv)If my people,
who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
The hard part was actually CHOOSING one from so many!
Say it all you want; it merely PROVES that you are a Hateful religious Bigot!
--MormonDude(When would be a good time for a couple of fine young, well-trained folks to visit your home and more fully explain the Restored Gospel© to you and your loving family?)
The really strange thing is that the accuser then turns around as does the very same thing that he finds SO objectionable in others!
Examples of your nastiness of behavior, and how your testimony for Christ have been severely harmed, are replete, and they don’t remain in FR, but your poor example of ‘how a Christian should then act’ has gone into other forums, where others are making fun of you because they are disgusted with your unChristlike behavior.
As previously stated at least half a dozen times, the evidence are your and your groupies posts, so numerous that it is better seen and gathered by searching your names.
Lurkers, please send me a private message and I will give you a list of more names from which you can conduct a search and see for yourself the posts of at least a dozen who belong to this vile group.
Elsie, you are one of the groupies to whom I refer, now by name.
You are included in the 'evidence' to which I already provided, i.e., 'the posts of the groupies.'
Lurkers can search on your name, Elsie, and find a multitude of posts, in your case, dating back YEARS, wherein you twist the Scriptures and act contrary to them in your behavior.
The other night I cleared of 86 names of friends on my facebook account. They were all hardcore liberals or social liberals, never wanted to talk and never wanted to address anything that I posted. Some of these people I’ve known my entire life. I decided it is time that I draw my own line in the sand. I no longer shared anything really in common with these people other than childhood histories. Pretty much they were endorsing in condoning the behavior of a Marxist president who is destroying our nation by the hour.
Besides I was convinced that they turned me off on their newsfeed anyway on Facebook....screw them.

it is running season, anyone in a race, 5k or other type even could just wear a Romney shirt. Works if there is a group that can do this together. Also volunteering and wearing romney shirts helps.
I was just saying yesterday, I can't understand why Obama's poll numbers are still so high (even given with the obvious skewing in his favor). What is wrong with these people who still like him? What is there to like about a traitor who is destroying this country?
Life by the Spirit13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit
These vicious posters are not only doing their best to turn FR into a hate/fringe site, but they consistently and slickly ACCUSE THEIR TARGETS of being the ones doing the hate and calling names....the targets who are routinely accused of being liberals, trolls, RINOS or members of DU....in other words, the Pack utilizes all the little tricks against their targets that they craftily accuse their targets of doing. It's fascinating how adept they are at doing this.
Over the 14 years I've been on this board, I've avidly and proudly referred many, many folks to the pages of FR, something I don't do any more. I'm embarrassed to do so. There are too many sick posters who are hoping for or helping Obama to win the upcoming election. I'm just hanging in here by a thread hoping that after the upcoming election the Wolf Pack will slink back into the woods and obscurity...... and that FR will return to some semblance of normalcy, class and high standards of debate again....or if it will continue to decline due to the actions of attackers who are using the hospitality of this forum to feed off the consumate hatreds of each other.
I know there are many more like me who decry the cancer of the haters on this site.....but who are too damn afraid to speak up....or they've actually become blase and numbed to the situation and just don't care. I happen to care about Free Republic.
So, dittos to you, nicmarlo....and kudos to you, also, for stepping in where too many angels fear to tread.

Christ said the way is narrow. I didn't. (Matthew 7:14, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.")
Your actions and behaviors, which are in contradiction to Scripture, are evidence that you have failed to find the road upon which Christ and Paul admonished Christians to walk.
Thank you MinuteGal. You're observations are completely accurate. I also no longer refer anyone to FR because of the hyena pack. The are an embarrassment. Their hatefulness is anything but Christlike and often no different that what one would expect to find on a liberal rag site. It's quite an astounding change from when I first joined.
I have seen many good people, conservative Jews, Mormons, and other unbelievers leave FR because of it, but more importantly, they question Christianity itself because of the wolves claiming to be Christian. Only God knows their hearts, but Christ said we are to look at behaviors and determine whether they are in accordance with the Scriptures and judge those behaviors accordingly.
If Christ were posting on this board Himself, He would never display the same ugliness of spirit, behavior, and speech as can daily be found with the groupies, yet they think they are His ambassadors. These same people also appear to have absolutely no concern how great a impact they are having in turning people away from Christ. I can only pray that the Holy Spirit convicts them and opens their eyes to see the damage they have wrought against Him.
