Dream on, Rose. You're lucky if the local market advertises a half price sale for pig's feet. Other items you're likely to see in the classified section of the Galesville Republican: Wanted: four roommates to share rent for 16 foot trailer. Lost: Dog. Name, "Dawg." Last seen lying with 17 other dogs in front of our trailer. For sale: Small tractor, good condition. Used only for driving to church. From our trailer.

Is that the group against Tithing , or the "Tax the Church" organization. :) :) The interesting question apart from can she bar any organization she likes, and I believe she can. -- But if so would she bar ads from organizations we might oppose as well. -- Answers in Genesis for example.

(i.e. The Elvis people are probably just a waste of her time.) Not that this makes it any better, but don't read this as specifically associating the FFRF with the KKK and the Nazis.
