REMINDER – Please WATCH THE TONE and CONTENT of Commentary. Please be respectful, courteous and considerate of other readers and contributors. Please avoid hatespeak, angry rhetoric, vulgarity, personal attacks and condescension. If you wish to engage in vitriolic, racist, or bitter angry rhetoric, there are alternative sites on the internet more than welcoming to such considerations. But not here. Thank You.

Monday Open Thread – July 23nd

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The Politics Of Envy


“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
“Romney never created any jobs. He only created wealth for his partners. There is a big difference.”

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

July 20, 2012 – Today In History

The year was 1969.  All eyes were glued to television sets as a wondrous event unfolded live before our eyes.  Three explorers braved the unknown.  On July 20, 1969, half a billion people watched as Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.

We called it the “Space Race”.  It began with Sputnik in 1957.  The Russians were ahead of the U.S.  First man in space, first man to orbit the earth. (more…)

The Last Refuge – officially, The Conservative Treehouse – celebrated its first anniversary on February 1, 2012.  Now it’s time for another celebration (and we love celebrations) as we welcome our 2,000,000th visitor today!  At 6:10 PM EST!

The Tree has been approached over two million times, tapped for information, moved into for refuge and signed up for learning.
Two million times someone has said, “Self, let’s check out the Treehouse and see what’s up.”
Two million times someone perhaps said, “I saw that link—wonder what they’re up to….”  (more…)

INCOMING! INCOMING! INCOMING!

The Treehouse is under attack.

Quick summary…

  • Network connections and files of moderators have been hacked into today, including Twitter accounts, laptops, etc.

  • Sequential virus attacks have hindered communication from moderators to the extent of having problems posting comments and replying to e-mails.

  • The enemy is apparently swarming.   We appreciate the affirmation.

  • If the site goes down, you’ll find us.  We’ll find you.

If you are a Treeper who trusts the Admins, put the word WOLVERINES in a reply below if you want to give us permission/request that we capture your personal  e-mail.  Then, if the site goes down, reconstruction will be simpler.

Posting this in haste just for a heads up.

Meet at the Old Mill: We Ride At Dawn

WOLVERINES!!!



I’m not sure if this addition will even break through the wall, but I’ll try and add my $.02…. (more…)
