I saw Fred's link somewhere and enjoyed his blog too. There are lots of redneck socialists out there - unfortunately many of them haven't made their own connections yet about exactly what it is they support politically. I just wish that the news of the Koch Bros. money funding all the fake organizations that they also support would change some minds. Fast.<br /><br />Dave! Great news about your site's recovery. I'm with you about the evil floating about, and trying to destroy independent voices.<br /><br />Hey UP! Nice to hear from you here. I certainly agree with your thoughts but don't think that religion or lack of it has anything to do with their values. They are greed fascists: a breed famous throughout history as causing death and destruction wherever they alight.<br /><br />Funny how our citizens can't remember a damn thing about their history isn't it?<br /><br />Education is the key.<br /><br />But that lock is ironclad now (if we look at what's happening under the cloak of darkness in the state governments).<br /><br />Love you guys!<br /><br />SCirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-56946709020939291982011-04-04T01:29:19.176-04:002011-04-04T01:29:19.176-04:00His buddy Fred Reed has a column that I read every...His buddy Fred Reed has a column that I read every week. From his recommendation I've got "Deer Hunting with Jesus" at the house and I plan on reading it next.<br /><br />I don't well or long in groups, I have independent tendencies that irritate the thought police in both liberal and conservative circles and "Redneck Socialist" pretty much fits me. <br /><br />Fred thought highly of Joe and if that old fart says something nice about someone that is high praise.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-26066707476472776052011-03-30T16:12:00.765-04:002011-03-30T16:12:00.765-04:00Thanks for honoring him.

Your post made me realize that part of why things have become so bad is that we (those who care less about money, and more about culture, education, and peace) have a much different set of values, education and religion than those who make, quite frankly, their G-d money.Pink Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556606553132406807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-74801762929028205712011-03-29T16:51:29.880-04:002011-03-29T16:51:29.880-04:00Incredibly enough, however, Kenny, my sister, deem...Incredibly enough, however, Kenny, my sister, deemed terminal with no prognosis initially for living at all, with an inoperable tumor on her pulmonary artery is still alive after a year of treatment at the cancer center in Greensboro, NC.
