SCOUTS OUT!

Normally, we would have just sent this along to thank you for your participation at Missouri's Infinite FReep. Instead, may we pass it along with prayers for Angelique?
Peace roses from Missouri FReepers.
Wonderful - fascinating - gifted - possessing a facile mind - passionate about a broad range of topics - funny - caring - witty - warm.
All those things, surely, but 'special' in many indefinable ways.
It was my privilege to have her as a friend, with delightful correspondences, and engagements on Free Republic threads.
The early ones were with SierraWasp on efforts by some unique (..:)) individuals to stop the logging in the Northwest, which we ridiculed with much glee!
One of the three of us would post a zinger, and the other two had to chime in using repetition of a chosen consonant to compose the reply - and try to make sense with it in the process!
Inevitably, others were drawn into the game, often outdoing us.
The Presidential Election Year provided much material, so filled with incredulity as to what the Dems were trying to do, I decided with as many trips as she and I were making to the Freep Mail Room, we ought to decorate it to suit our tastes.
We conferred on wall colors, as bizarre as possible so no one would be able to snooze in there - gaudy furnishings - and there was the day I put up large posters with pictures of the Clinton Cronies. Under them I put in large letters UNWANTED !! - they were of Bill and Hill and algore and Begala and Ann Lewis, etc.
They served a quite useful dual purpose. One could use darts provided to throw at the pictures, providing an outlet for our frustration, and all who entered were free to share the fun.
The most recent activity I described on the thread carlo had for her. On a thread was a heated discussion about how to prepare 'proper' chili, several factions insistent upon theirs as the 'ONLY' way to prepare it - with or without beans - how much 'heat' to incorporate - and what to have with it - cornbread - biscuits - crackers the choices.
Someone said they had prepared a batch of it with biscuits for us all.
The next morning my thoughts wandered to all the leftover ones, and what useful thing might be made of them.
I hailed Angelique, and when she responded, I 'threw' some at her in Arizona, from my location in South Carolina.
She of course gleefully reciprocated, and I cautioned some Freepers in Texas to not stand up and get in the line of fire.
Angelique and I then made those who trespassed the targets, and the battle got lively, complete with a genuine biscuit launcher - a huge military one that could propel them accurately and save our throwing arms.
That soon led to on Cinco de Mayo Day, repeating that with the Tortilla War.
Angelique loved fun - serious things - things of France - others - brought us regularly blurbs of wisdom we might not have read or needed to be reminded of.
To sum all things up, she was The Ultimate GIVER - of self and life and love.
Angelique, I didn't know you before, but the impression you left with you friends has allowed our introduction.

Well, here I am, fashionably late. The nice thing is I get a lot of attention when I walk through the door. The downside. . . all the good food is gone!

God Bless America, land of the free, home of the brave. . .

...I still cannot get that picture of the Elian raid out of my head. My papa cannot either.

My initiation to forums was the one of my local radio show. It is defunct now, but the reason I ventured to FR resulted from the ache of fighting with supposed "conservatives" about Elian staying here.
Slowly, we give our Freedom away. We watched as Congress sat on their hands as Clinton bellied up to Castro and allowed the JaNUT to snatch Elian. You know, of course, that Hellary spent some time in college in Cuba. And then, of course, Billybob was in Russia.
Sending Elian back, and courting the commies in doing so, is the darkest day in our history. My papa still gets tears in his eyes. It was so wrong, and history better tell it right! Whoever wanted Elian back to Cuba is not deserving to even speak words about Freedom!

We've talked about it before, but no one on the face of the planet can be a decent human being and believe that Elian should have been sent back.

....While we can have disagreements within the spectrum of conservatism, there are certain tenets that cannot be compromised, i.e. Elian staying free.

...it is impossible to make peace with any of those folks who wanted to send Elian back. Those folks are NOT conservatives. I do read the threads, but stay away from posting. There is nothing we can do, but keep him in our prayers.

...a true conservative could have no other position than to keep Elian free. When you consider what Congress did after the Raid, one has to wonder who those true conservatives are.
