Many on "Our" side say this isnt our time, that it is better to wait for the right time than to risk everything.
I refuse to Retreat AGAIN.
I say this is the right time, and we will risk everything.
Because if I don't
Weve Lost.
We march to victory OR we march to defeat, but we go forward, only forward.
Thank you so much for your stand...and Free Republic!
“In our interconnected, corporate dominated economy we are all spending money with companies and individuals who do not share Christian values. I do not believe it is possible to exist in this economy and not spend money with those who hate/disagree with us. To be sure we can minimize it but I dont think we can eliminate it.”
I always hear people talk about taking their business somewhere else or of boycotting a corporation or minimizing interaction with it, or divesting etc.
I never hear anyone suggest beating our opponents with the two things that progressives hate the most - Capitalism and Democracy - and the beauty of it is that it is all perfectly legal.
Using Alinkys rules, pick one or two corporate targets whose corporate values offend the sensibilities, isolate them and purchase those company’s stock in large numbers over time while isolating (boycotting) the company. As the boycott has an economic impact on the stock value of the targets, buy even more stock and using the common stocks votes at the next board meeting elect a new corporate board of directors that reflects more preferable values. Hell they send you the ballot for votes in the mail!!!!!
How many people who own stock even bother to cast a vote!
Once this change in leadership is accomplished bring the company back to life with renewed support and patronage.
Think of it! They pay dividends from profits and those dividends (profits) are used to buy even more of their stock and more control of the target. Their own corporate success which more often than not is a function of in-elasticity of demand, is used against them. You then give jobs to your stock holders through ;) attrition,
I’m sure some accountant of like mind out there could find one or more offensive but profitable candidates whose market value doesn’t isolate them from a hostile corporate take over.
Progressives direct people and institutions to divest from businesses they find offensive! NO! Do the exact opposite. Invest!
Here is another example of a strategy that I never hear discussed. The Government - both state and federal - really have no business in marriage. Churches and people should remove themselves entirely from the States marriage regulations and process.
People should get married in the eyes of their Church of choice and Individuals should enter and exit State Sanctioned marriages solely on the basis of the Tax implications. As Mr. Trump said a few days ago it’s your civic duty to pay as little tax as legally possible.
If having a state sanctioned marriage is financially advantageous to you from a tax liability perspective - do it. If not don’t enter into a state sanctioned marriage. They don’t enforce the laws against illegal immigration! What makes you think they will enforce the laws against cohabitation. They haven’t enforced them for 40 or more years! We will essentially redefine cohabitation to include two people living together outside the bounds of State sanctioned marriage even though they are Church married which the state has no need to know.
If staying in a State sanctioned marriage becomes a tax liability. get a cheap “State sanctioned divorce”. You can “State” marry and/or divorce as your financial circumstances change.
If you really need to end your “Church” marriage take it up with your church.
Finally, Most products have an inelastic demand and are therefore essential. A boycott will have very little success on those companies in the long term.
If you can’t beat them; own them!
One or two successful hostile take overs and corporations will learn who actually butters their bread and on what side. As the new cooperate majority share holders and owners and obviously civic minded citizens, the new owners should do their civic duty and pay as little tax as legally possible!!
I have tons of similar ideas. You don’t starve the beast! You train it!
There is only one problem with my ideas. They require coordination and discipline on many levels which is difficult.
Fathers and mothers are different, and advances in our understanding of human physiology increasingly reveal the biological factors behind those differences. The male and the female come together as father and mother to bring complementary gifts to their children. As my experience demonstrates, it hurts children to miss out on the stable love of their father and mother for them and for each other.
If marriage is redefined to include same-sex couples, there will be no principled reason to limit it to two-person couples. But if marriage is redefined, as Katy Faust recently wrote, parenthood is redefined. This redefinition increases the chances that children miss out on one of the greatest gifts any person can be given: being raised by the man and woman whose love brought them into existence."

Very well said my friend!
Amen to what you said!!!!!!
She is a much braver Christian than I could ever hope to be. God bless her and give her the strength and courage to persevere!
All in.
Thank you, Jim, for all you do..
Mark Levin was fantastic on this tonight.
>They are now jailing us for believing in Jesus.
My Jewish mother understands.

"Yasher Koach, B'ezrat HaShem"
(My apologies if the Hebrew is a mite clumsy.)
The Kim Davis arrest is a wake up call for all Christians. There is now a conflict for Christians to serve their communities in government. This is the goal of the homosexual mafia. The same conflicts arise in military service.
RE: Anyone have any idea where she would be held?
One FReeper found out. Please click on this link:

LOL, Your Hebrew is better than mine
God bless her. She's literally being jailed for the "crime" of loving Jesus and being faithful to her Christian faith. Makes me even more determined. This is a fight we must win!
Amen, and besides the Washington Post, a quick google shows that testimony was shown on www.npr.org, www.seattletimes.com, www.dailykos.com [evil], www.huffingtonpost.com, progressivevoices.com, www.nytimes.com, and others which otherwise would not print such, as well as conservative sites as www.breitbart.com.
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. (Luke 21:12-13)
May the Lord give this holy believer strength and may she find grace to help in her time of need.
Good to hear from you.
