Chances Liberty Will be Restored in Our Time

The Front Porch

That's where folks used to sit during twilight on a summer evening cooling off from the day and discussing worldly matters like family, job, kids, neighbors, sports, politics...







































































"And May found a smooth round stone, as small as the world and as large as Alone."

Remember, individual responsibility is the engine of life and progress. "Collective responsibility" is at best an oxymoron, at worst a fiction invented by those who want to define our purposes for their own self-aggrandizement and power.

    I already have the book, but...

    I like your enthusiasm and passion.
    You have some great things to say.
    The cat [in your avatar] is cute.

    The fact that you've read Atlas Shrugged numerous times means your perspective wouldn't be permitted on 'lamestream media'

    The fact that you've encouraged so many others to read the aforementioned Atlas Shrugged means some would want you to be institutionalized.

    The fact that you live in Maine, represented by two Republican senators who could easily pass for Democrats, and have maintained your sense of humor ... priceless.

    Keep up the good work, Jack!

    You may open FP at any point and instantly become fascinated, so easy, lucid, and energetic is the narrative. It is handsomely and profusely astute. The dangers of today are seen all too clearly in your broadbrush accounts of a time when humanity is consumed by destruction. FP explores and analyzes the myths and realities, the mistakes, the ironies and failures of our very own Axis of evil. Instead of treating the powers that be with brutality, which any common author can do, you use their own rhetoric, you put things in perspective, you use common sense superbly. We are on the battle field and FP has an arsenal that is imposing and effective, it is a machine gun: worthy, devastating to progressivism, and it always shoots straight.

    Only three reasons? Okay.

    Meticulously detailed

    Penetrating insights

    And, rich in revealing anecdotes

    (oh, heck, I have to add a fourth--you are hilarious on days when laughter is needed--you seem to know just when we need those days)

    I have a copy of AWI--I just wanted to add my two cents--Thanks for the FP!
