Where's Fr. Frog?
Well it seems that the humorless
people at the Henson
Company took offense
that Fr. Frog's formal portrait
that used
to be here bore a resemblance
to their Kermit the Frog wearing a clerical collar. They
sent me a letter
telling
me to
remove the picture.
Fr. Frog has moved into the background so no one can
say he resembles anyone else
until a non-offensive picture can be found.
However, if you are a clever person you just might be able to make him hop out
for a brief appearance
to say "Hi!"
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson
"Information is more dangerous than cannon to a society ruled by lies." - James M Dakin
"Far and away the best prize that life
has to offer is the
chance to work hard at work worth doing." -- Theodore Roosevelt
"I would rather be exposed to
the inconveniences attending too much
liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
"How strangely will the tools
of a tyrant pervert the plain
meaning of words!" -- Samuel Adams, to John Pitts, 1776
“When one teaches, two learn.” -- Robert A. Heinlein
"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." -- John Adams (1770)

Hi ho! Welcome to Fr. Frog's Pad, and to the official Jeff Cooper archive, Steyr Scout Rifle, and Savage Scout Rifle pages. If you're of a conservative/traditional leaning browse around, and enjoy. If you are of the persuasion (some would call it a perversion) that believes that only the government knows what is best for its citizens, and that those who refuse to work should be able to live off of the efforts of others, these pages may have thoughts and ideas that upset you.
Fr. Frog assumes that as you browse his pages that your pistol is in reach. If not, you must have been asleep during the "Wednesday Lecture" on mind set, and missed the whole point of API-250. BAD! BAD! BAD! You have to buy me a case of beer! (I love Grolsch regular or dark, Negra Modelo, or Guinness. I'm also partial to good single malt Irish Whiskey if you've been really bad. Dark chocolate will also be accepted as penance.)
Fr. ("Father") Frog? How the heck did I come by that name? Well, to make a long and boring story a short and boring story, I used to do a pretty mean imitation of Mr. Kermit The Frog, I like the outdoors, I get "hopping" mad at socialists, bleeding-heart liberalism* and abject stupidity (the same things?), I like the color green, and I was very active in, as well as being a Verger in the Episcopal Church for many years, and am now a Deacon in the Lutheran Church (MS). I'm also a retired hospital chaplain--hence the affectionate "father" (Fr.) title. (Surprisingly, I don't like humidity though--thus my metamorphosis into a desert frog.) I also have another alias which you'll find if you browse around.
My wife Frogette (who also goes by the nickname of Sunpuddle), and I, reside in the low humidity and clean air of the beautiful state of Arizona where we are enjoying the companionship of many good friends--old and new--throughout the state, and two furpeople, Cooper and Joy who we serve as administrative assistants.

>> PAY ATTENTION NOW! <<
When emailing me please ensure that your embedded "return address" in your E-mail program is correct. (You might want to put your address in the body of your message if you are not sure.) I have had messages from people whose imbedded email return address was invalid (hence the notice below) and they probably think I'm ignoring them. If you don't get a reply from me within 3 - 5 business days, check to make sure that your email program is properly identifying you. (I really do try to answer all email. But only if I receive it.)
Please put your
actual topic in the subject line as I filter out any mail
with a blank
subject line or "Hi there," and similar headers as "spam."
If you have emailed me
and have not received a reply within 3-5 working days, click
here Also please make sure that your in-box isn't full. A surprising number of my replies bounce with "mailbox full" errors. If it is not on this list then I probably either never received your email or your ISP is blocking me. Because of all the spam problems on the Internet some ISPs (like AOL and Hotmail) may be blocking my replies. Be sure that your mail program and your ISP are set to receive messages from Centurylink.net. |
...and a request. Please DO NOT add me to your bulk email list for jokes, politics, etc. I receive almost 300 email messages a day and the mail gets overwhelming sometimes, and I promise not to do that to you.
Thanks for visiting!
Be of stout heart and good cheer,
Fr. Frog

(The Cross of St. George) |
The king was told that the enemy was coming but he had plenty of time to prepare. He denied it. Much later he was told the enemy is closer and they still had time to arm themselves, but he said he didn't believe it. The enemy overran his castle and killed him. His final words were, "I didn't think they were serious."
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be
in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." -- James Madison

There is absolutely nothing offensive to any normal member of humanity who believes in freedom, self reliance, or The Creator, nor to any so-called minority group, anywhere on this web site. However, should you for some reason (maybe you're a bleeding heart liberal* who accidentally came across this site) be offended by the thoughts, data, and information herein contained, that's just too bad!

* The term "liberal" is quite misused these days. In actuality, "liberal" means standing for fewer restrictions and more individual freedoms. Unfortunately, as used today, it stands for those who despise liberty and freedom. They are pathological control freaks that want to obliterate the mere suggestion of any thought that would undermine their bloated and unwarranted sense of self-worth, who want to have the government control all aspects of its citizen's lives and thoughts, to provide everything for them under the guise of "protecting" them from all harm or "hardship. They want to distribute the earnings of those who work hard to to get ahead to those who are too lazy to better themselves"--more properly called socialism than liberalism. The "bleeding hearts" I talk about are those who moan and groan when anyone suggests that people show some self-responsibility for their own actions and care, or a little self-reliance, and who also seem to fear those who do try to take control of their own lives and carry their own weight.
