Them boys on the grassy knoll, they were dead within three hours. Buried in the damn desert. Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

As a thought experiment regarding FR Thought, look at the picture of Sarah Sanders at the top of this thread, and imagine what would be said by the FR population about her appearance, intelligence, and morals if she got up tomorrow and said, “What was I thinking? I just can’t work for this administration any more!”

One can only imagine, but I suspect it wouldn't be nice. Incidentally, like most of us, while Sarah is no great beauty, she's not positively unattractive.

The opponents of “organized religions” do a great job of proving it, as well.

If she changed her mind about any part of support for Trump ... even acknowledged, “Hey, this is the opposite of what we said yesterday!” ... she would gain 50 lbs., lose 50 IQ points, and have always been a (fill in misogynistic invective). I recall this happening to Mike Huckabee, except for the misogynistic part.

I agree. Sarah Sanders is an okay-looking lady. In another situation - playing with kittens, perhaps - a happy expression would make her more attractive overall.

If you meet anyone who doubts that Cruz is a decent senator, send them to the Northeast.

They’ll learn how bad things can actually get.

‘The opponents of “organized religions” do a great job of proving it, as well.’

yes, those opponents who zealously substitute their disbelief, making it as much a rigorous thought system as the religion they seek to escape; but at the least non affiliation can lead to free thought, if nurtured properly...but the notion of free thinking is anathema to an ordered religion...

‘Can you give examples?’

the entire purpose of any organized religious entity, complete with hierarchical chains of command and various levels of instruction for its communicants, is to develop a system of ‘thou shalt nots’, the commission of which would rise to heresies and apostasies...just look up listings of heresies within the early Christian church, and you’ll see numerous beliefs, and the freethinkers who propounded them, that have been repudiated and branded as heretics...all because in some way, shape, or form their ideas ran afoul of the powers that be...

Michelle Malkin put herself on her list... and she’s right to do that...

The ‘uncle Tom’ card has been overplayed. Just like the ‘race care’... What cards do democrats have left?
