In general, removing them from any and all aspects of our lives. Online, offline.

All the time we spend fighting people on the basics of Conservatism/Constitution ect is time they keep us tied up and it is time better spent working to a positive end.

Now of course, “I” would never waste time arguing with liberals since I’m above that (chokes on his own words of fantasy ;) Bur in all honestly, we all do waste time stopping these idiots from spreading their moderate/liberal BS. We could use it to further educate ourselves and work to help elect people we believe in.

More FWIW:

Norm Lenhart to RKBA Democrat; JRandomFreeper

“I think about the amount of time, effort, and resources that we spend as conservatives in a vain effort to make pigs sing.”

For an eye opening experience, pick several contentious posts at random. You will find 2-3ish people pushing moderation/liberal/non-conservative ideas and often screaming ‘Purist” or the lates one as I learned yesterday from Johnny, “Absolutist”

Then count up the man hours by everyone else on the thread, myself included, trying to teach that pig to sing.

Then realize that all those hours are wasted and all those are hours we could have used to either further educate ourselves or to help promote/elect a conservative.

THEN ponder whether or not some of those people are not paid or otherwise willing GOPers there for that very purpose.

As my old boss at Xerox PARC once said, “Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.”

Oh, please...you don't care about the institution of marriage beyond the talking point value of it.

Uh huh. My wife and I have been married for over 34 years. I know several couples who have been married for over 60 years. THAT is traditional marriage. Looks like Orangedog went out in a ball of Orange. Double ZOT thread.

There are three couples in our church who have been married over 65 years. That means they were married before I was born.

That is truly heartwarming.

They’ve been together through thick and thin for 65 years!

So I was 2 years old when they got married.

The ZOT graphic is a very short gif from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

A FReeper gave it to me, and AFAIK, it is such a short excerpt that it is probably not protected.

If it is, Jim will tell me, delete the ZOT post, and I will erase it from my PhotoBucket account and never use it again.

It wouldn’t be the first time.

That’s wonderful! Congratulations! Mr. T and I were also married in November, in 1983. It seems like just yesterday. :)
