Comments on: Four years: in memory of FredHJr https://thenewneo.com/2013/06/26/four-years-in-memory-of-fredhjr/ A blog about political change, among other things Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:39:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: J.J. formerly Jimmy J. https://thenewneo.com/2013/06/26/four-years-in-memory-of-fredhjr/#comment-621410 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:39:37 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=29221#comment-621410 I’ve been having computer problems and have missed much of the last few days.

Cannot believe it has been four years since FredHJr, passed on. He was so very well informed about financial issues. Things have been in such turmoil in the markets these days, I have nearly thrown up my hands in despair. I would very much appreciate Fred’s input on where the H*** we are going. I’m sure he would have some valuable insights.

To Fred’s family: Words are scant comfort, but I wish you the solace of God’s peace as you go forward.

I also miss his cogent comments.

Jr. And think of him. And ea. time you remind us of the anniversary of his unfortunate accident, I can’t believe another year has passed. He was passionate about what he believed in, plus he had an ability to verbally substantiate with facts such beliefs. And I wish we saw that more in the political arena. Especially on the lib. side. Maybe it’s my personal bias (yeah, maybe), but I’m so tired of being told that this is the way things need to be “just because” or “because I say so” with what I call the “holier-than-thou” attitude so ubiquitous on the Left. (perhaps best exemplified by Nancy Pelosi quote, ““don’t believe in” Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, clean air, clean water, food safety, public safety and public education?”)

The actual rendition is *take fish oil capsule daily and even if you are so unfortunate as to actually *have* a heart attack you ll have a better chance of surviving it because fish oil stabilizes the heart beat, what most often kills someone who has had a heart attack is a *lethal irregular heartbeat*. Having fish oil on board in your body reduces cardiac irritability, this cardiac irritability is the genesis of the unstable irregular heartbeat.
I just remember being so bummed & upset about Andrew that I even lamented to my husband, “Why wasn t he using Fish Oil!” Silly I guess but still such a loss for Conservatism!
James Gandolfini, him too, not such a smart guy after all !

Well, I didn’t have anything new to say about Fred, but I’ll add my two cents to note how much he was appreciated around here.

It’s often said that once something is posted on the internet, it never goes away. So Fred’s thoughts still exist on various servers (and maybe the NSA database as well). 😉

A Persian poem says: Hargiz namirad onki dilash zinde shod be Ish’q.
Never shall he die whose heart was molded with love.

RIP.

I wish I could take credit for having seen through Obama right from the start, but the truth is that insights from FredHJr like the comments you quoted were a significant part of the reason that I — nowhere near as perspicacious, well-read or articulate as he was — managed to see what was there to be seen when so many others chose willful blindness. FredHJr earned the deep respect of all and is still missed. I hope he’s up there someplace having a fine old time with Breitbart.

Say that again. I take both fish and flaxseed oil capsules during the day. Can’t be too careful.
