Re: Conservatives That I Have Come to Admire on AF
Sis Norris gave an interesting lesson on the efforts to all be the same. She quoted from a poem/song?.....
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
If we're all the same...how boring.
BTW, I agree with the lists of worthy cons.

That's OK. I bet if I actually qualified, you would raise the bar.

Here are five Apostolic conservatives that post or have posted on AFF that I have come to really respect and admire. At the top of the list are a couple of ultra-cons.
Steve Epley - consistant, honest, even-tempered, friendly, and is a Christian.
Rhymis - consistant, witty, even-tempered, friendly, is a Christian, doesn't post enough! (You're honest too! )
Coonskinner - consistant, down-to-earth witt, presents the conservative viewpoint very well and understandable, friendly, lots of patience, an all-around good guy and Christian.
Steadfast - consistant, great thinker and poster, has patience, is a Christian.
Phil Jones - consistant, friendly (to me), one of the good guys as far as I'm concerned, good debater, sincere, is a Christian.
All of the above have virtues that I value highly:
1. consistancy
2. friendly
3. sincere
4. Christian
I'm sure I'm missing other conservatives who should also be on this pedestal.
Who are some conservatives that YOU admire on AFF? |
I disagree with Epley on Jewelry and Divorce but I always ALWAYS admired him for his consistency. He was more consistent than most Cons and Ultra Cons ever.

- That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

The AFF press is holding credible evidence (with photos) that you wore a t-shirt last summer during a lawn mowing session.

Ahem... I think the New York Times ran a story about an improper relationship with a Lobbyist. Perhaps it was her yard??
