Is Sheppards Pie considered a real pie? I was going to suggest it, but it has meat in it.

Shepard doesn't work for heterosexuals @Frank Cannon

That'd be just what TOS does. (And has done, regarding some commentators and some sites, not just the most obvious fever-swampers, either.) Surely there are those among us here whose reasons for coming here just might have included that this site doesn't blacklist commentators (other than, perhaps, the obvious fever-swampers) the way that one often enough does.

I guess nobody would want to be reminded of the sage counsel of Frank Chodorov: Let them rant their heads off---that is their right, which we cannot afford to infringe---but let us keep from them the political means of depriving everybody else of the same right.

And we still have the same right to reject Schlicter's arguments (the ones he makes and the ones he provokes alike) as he has to make (or provoke) them.

Anyone have an opinion on Pecan Pie or did the damn Libertarians grab that for themselves?

The Libertines have gone out looking to find something to cut the pie with.

So the 'Drowning in Orange Kool-Aid' is no longer an Option?

I was going to suggest that but I was afraid some Lesbian splinter group would claim it's "Cultural Appropriation".

@roamer_1

Let me tell you something my friend. The ONLY team I have ever played for is the same one YOU are on!

I know exactly where you are, pal... And I meant no offense.

WE have to start somewhere and I see this President moving the ball in our direction

I see no such thing. I see that the circus is in town, and the clown at the front of the parade is throwing candy to the crowd... But once the circus leaves town, all that candy is gonna just dry up - It is all just that temporal... Bush's first term was much the same - lots of judges, lots of EOs...

And this, predictably will turn out the same. Very little of lasting value.

I know that and I took none. I'm just sorry that you can't see what I see. Doesn't mean we can't remain friends.

@Jazzhead
Thatâ€™s just like when you urge the sublimation of our rights to achieve your defintion of the common good.

Problem is, with few very principled exceptions, "common good" has come to mean "What's in it for me?" and "Devil take the hindmost"--attitudes which abandon principle for personal gain, and often do not necessarily benefit the Republic, or the Liberty of the citizens thereof.

The best thing that can possibly be done for the "common good" is to cut government at all levels to the bare minimum.

I'd be satisfied if the Federal Government were constrained by the powers (specific and delineated in the vernacular of the day) delegated to it in The Constitution and Bill of Rights, without some of the semantic gymnastics used to justify the National Government Leviathan that has been growing since The War.

Looks a mite like Juneberries, but far too late in the year.

A juneberry pie (locally) can sell for $25 or more. The Jelly is the best. Unfortunately, the birds strip our tree every year as the berries start to turn purple.
