General / Re: Momma Ally is the new Ed Brown
« on: December 28, 2010, 11:58:12 PM »
Momma's a side attraction though, not even close to being a contender. Other than her being outspoken enough to call in to the show, she's probably similar to many other people on the outer edges of the "movement". You're bound to get all sorts, so deal with it. Exclude the truly bad, but accepting the differences between the many is a good idea.

Would Momma be someone you feel like you could rely on in a pinch? She does to me. She also seems like someone who wouldn't take much shit from people who've tried to take advantage of her.

Is she so evil that she should be ostracized, even though her opinions (probably.. maybe) fall in place with yours in 90% of the issues?

Regarding the harassment.. that's ultra-low form to me. Definitely a bad move. But that doesn't cancel out her good qualities.

I really don't think you could rely on her in a pinch.  She didn't even show up for her court date when someone else bailed her out.  She doesn't seem to consider how her actions affect the others around her: her children, her employees, etc.   

I'm not part of the Momma Ally movement, so her opinions don't fall in place with mine 90% of the time.  But.....my issue really isn't with Momma Ally.  My issue is with FTL for being such a proponent of her and supporting her harassment of another person.  FTL and the liberty movement in NH will lose credibility if it makes too many mistakes on whom to support in their struggles against authority.

To use the civil rights movement as an example:  Rosa Parks refusing to sit at the back of the bus was not some random event.  She was specifically chosen to engage in that protest because of how it would look to people outside of the South.  The actions of the civil rights movement were coordinated in advance with a plan based on how the authorities were expected to react.  I see some of that in how the civil disobedience is handled in Keene.  The City Council Drinking Game was near perfect...if only they could have found a kindly grandmother to take part.

You want a Liberty movement full of saints?
Ever had people take your kids? You take the gloves off and fight. Mama Ally was in character, her hair might not really be that light colored but she seems real enough to me. Real people are not saints. If you read between the lines few people are, including the faces you recommend.

I'm not suggesting that we should have a liberty movement full of saints.  But I don't consider Momma Ally as part of the liberty movement.  Momma Ally's main objective is to take care of Momma Ally.  As for her kids (does she have more than one?), how do we know that she didn't "take" them first?  Are her children property?  What was supposed to happen with them when Momma went to jail?

I think that FTL aggressed against her mom by allowing Ally to give out her phone number with instructions to harass mom.  This is going to sound judgmental, but I was raised in an environment much like what I imagine Momma's household is like: chaotic, dirty, and narcissistic.  It seems to be all about Momma.  Could it be that Momma's mom is a really great person and had a daughter stuck in a rebellious adolescence and saw an opportunity to take the grandkids out of a bad situation?  Maybe the reason that dad hasn't been a part of their lives for 6 years is because Momma wouldn't let him by using the force of the state.  He seemed to be very interested in being involved in their lives at the first opportunity; and it's not like he's going to get money out of Momma.

Momma seems to run into a lot of trouble and wants to blame it on everyone else:  her friends that abandon her, the state, her mom, the police, her ex-husband, and the public school system for not teaching her to not jump bail.  

You mentioned several other people that I also mentioned in my original post.  The common thread among all of those people is that they want to further the liberty movement.  I listened to Dale's night on FTL that was really disgusting, I stopped listening after about 25 minutes because it got so bad.  But after that night, Dale pretty much cut it out.  Dale knows that the liberty movement is bigger than him.  This is true for the rest of the people that you mentioned.  Their quirkiness makes them interesting to listen to, but they have a goal of forwarding the movement.

General / Momma Ally is the new Ed Brown

I consider FTL and the people that are involved in its orbit:  Sam, Ridley, Dale, etc. to be the face of the liberty movement in NH to the rest of the country.  As such, it should be more careful about which people and causes that it champions.  Why?  If I perceive the liberty movement as filled with people like Ed and Momma Ally, it's not a movement that I want to be associated with.

So what's wrong with Momma?  To put it as nicely as I can, she's white trash.  She should lay off the hair dye.  Learn grammar and spelling.  While I am a huge proponent of homeschooling (both of my children are homeschooled), it frightens me that her daughter is homeschooled.  She needs to lay off the racial slurs and "tough girl" talk.  Skipping out on bail that someone donated for you and putting yourself in positions to get arrested when you are a single mom are stupid moves.  

Posting her mom's phone number all over the place and calling up a national radio show to get people to harass her is horrible.  What other choices were there for her daughter? A foster home?  We don't know anything about her mom, but Ian was more than willing to let Momma give out her phone number.  

Ugh....

The Show / Problem with the freekeene.com plug

You all assume that everyone is familiar with Keene (and how to spell it).  When you say it, it could sound like freaking.com or it could be spellded Freekeen.com, freekean.com, or freekeane.com.

General / Re: Mark's Yeshua Problem
« on: March 31, 2010, 01:08:29 PM »
I don't understand why this simple situation is so hard for some people to grasp (actually I do, they don't want to grasp it).

Let me run it down again. Jesus's name isn't Jesus, its Yeshua. That is his name. My name is Mark; it isn't Marc, Marco, Marcos, Marcus, Marek, Mario, Marius, Markey, Marko, Markos, Markov, Markus, Marq, Marque, Marques, Marquus, Marik, March, Mirko or Mirek. If you call me one of those things, you are in error.

It doesn't matter if the translation issue doesn't bother YOUR sensibilities, it bothers MINE and the question is: would a fair and just god send me to eternal torment, a punishment far worse than the sickest most pedagogic father on earth could ever do to their child, for rejecting his "unerring word" when he couldn't get his savior's name right?  Answer that question, not one you have made up for yourself!

Mark,  where do you find the actual name of Christ is Yeshua?  Please let me know.  I'm intrigued.  The original written scriptures state that it is Iēsoûs, not Yeshua.  

To answer your question, Hell is eternal separation from God.  Heaven is Holy and as such cannot coexist with sin.  We exist in a fallen world, but receive protection from some of the consequences of sin through the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Those protections no longer exist in hell.  The torments in the book of Revelation are what will occur when God lifts his protection.  God doesn't send you to hell.

God's original contract with man was for man to live in paradise and experience no death.  Man disobeyed God.  God made a new contract which set up the Laws and allowed for atonement through sacrifice.  However, it was always realized that the sacrifices, as provided by man, were imperfect.  As a result, and as was prophesied in the Old Testament, God provided the perfect sacrifice through His Son.  To receive final atonement, Man has to recognize and accept this sacrifice.

To go to the point of  the "unerring word".  The point of view of my church, as stated in its by-laws, is that the Bible is unerring "in its original text".  The Bible you hold in front of you is not the original text.  Beware of anyone that tells you that their version of the Bible is without error.  These are people that want to use the Bible as a weapon.  A perfect Bible removes the need for a personal relationship with God, which is not the intent of the Bible.  We are called to meet together with other believers and study the Word and to pray for guidance from God.

General / Mark's Yeshua Problem
« on: March 30, 2010, 09:04:38 PM »
Mark has used as a prime example of not trusting the Bible the fact that Christ's name was originally Yeshua (or Joshua) not Jesus.  The problem with this is that Yeshua is a word in Hebrew and the New Testament (which gives the name of Christ) was written in Greek, not Hebrew.  The name for Christ in the original text was the Greek name Iēsoûs, Yeshua is a translation of the name given in the Greek, just as Jesus is a translation of the original Greek into English.

General / Suggestion for Totasak
« on: February 02, 2010, 12:35:58 PM »
Hi Ian and Mark,

If you ever talk to the Totasak guys I have a suggestion for an add-on product that would push me over the edge to buy the Totasak:  a milk jug strap.  I get so annoyed when the milk isn't bagged and I have to use an entire hand to carry in one item.  So, if the Totasak guys could make a strap to go through the handle that would work with the Totasak, I would be all over it.

What are some products and services that 1. you use and would recommend to a friend 2.  would appeal to a nationwide audience, and 3.  would appeal to FTL listeners?  Here are a few that I use and would recommend:
1. Zenni Optical
2. American Science and Surplus  (www.sciplus.com)
3. Netflix/Roku
4. (for students) iChapters (www.ichapters.com)

I grew up in Joplin and this is a great station for you to be on.  It's a strong conservative/small government area.   :D

The Show / Re: on your FEET! ??? WTF.
« on: August 12, 2009, 01:14:56 PM »
Can't we have a thread about how several people have tried a particular advertiser and the product and service have been great? You know one of the primary complaints about libertarians is that they are cynical and hate everything. Everyone take a deep breathe, and think about the gratitude that you have for the advertisers that bring you Free Talk Live and its corresponding BBS. I don't you folks understand that I am not making what I was making when I quit my job in Sarasota 3 years ago. I didn't expect it to take this long.

Mark,

I recently used WebEx and was very impressed.  A salesman wanted to sell me a database and he walked me through his presentation using WebEx.  It was really flawless.  I wish that I had a reason to use this service.  Unfortunately, the state won't let me teach my classes from my desk at home  :(.
