"Anne", your post is another good one. "true freedom" was heavily paid for and, that is one thing the young of this nation and many of the not so young have totally blitzed out on. It's truly staggering.

"value"and its source have long been forgotten, also. The base was established thousands of years ago and culminated about two thousand years ago. There has been many lies and fables attached to that "value". The truth is available in one very popular book that has passed right on by such a vast majority of the human population.

The 'conservative" movement, itself has lost sight of its beginning a long time ago. I see a lot of outreaching hands asking for money in the name of their own "conservative movement. Daniel Pipes is the only one that doesn't have his hand, first and foremost, outstretched asking for money. He does and should ask for monetary help. However, it isn't the first words out of his mouth.

I see a lot of "value" on this site but, few who will fess up to the beginnings of "value".
