Merciful heavens! Now it is true that I do not visit as often as I once did, but it seems I only turned my back and there are 7 PAGES of comments! I guess I am responsible for the acrimony betwixt the local combatants as my original post was not about doubles. I must agree wholeheartedly with those with absolute disdain for our socialist/Marxist members. These types are SO anti-American, anti-Capitalist, anti-Christian that I have ZERO respect for them and in matters where we might have common ground like hunting, doubles, etc, I refuse to associate with them for the more important reasons.
As for national differences, who have we all in common more than Americans, Canadians, Brits, Australians, and Kiwis. God Bless you all and may you one day rid yourselves of the Godless socialists and Marxists.
My great, great, great uncle Lord Acton has many quotables, but his most astute was "Socialism IS Slavery!"
