Fr. Frog's Home Page

Hi ho, and welcome to Fr. Frog's Pad!
Brought to you by all the conservative and self-reliant creatures of the AZ mountain plains

All of my pages are best viewed at 800 x 600 - 256 colors or higher.

Where's Fr. Frog?
Well it seems that 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 just be able to make him hop out for a brief appearance to say "Hi!"

"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the
chance to work hard at work worth doing." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Hi ho! Welcome to Fr. Frog's Pad and to the official Jeff Cooper, Steyr Scout Rifle, and Savage Scout Rifle pages. If you're of a conservative bent browse around, and enjoy.  If you are of the persuasion that believes that only the government knows what is best for its citizens 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, or Negra Modelo. I'm also partial to good Irish Whiskey if you've been really bad.  Dark chocolate will also be accepted as penance.) 

Fr. 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 bleeding-heart liberalism* and abject stupidity (the same thing?), I like green, and I'm very active in, as well as being a Verger in the Episcopal Church and am 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, and our four cats (or as they prefer to be called, "fur-people"),  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. 

As a Renaissance Amphibian I have many and varied interests. Scroll down the lists below and visit some of my special areas by clicking on the underlined links. Additional links may be added as time permits.  I frequently post updates, new information, and corrections, so check back often to see what's new, and PLEASE, if you find any bad links, typos, grammar glitches, or other problems please let me know where and what they are so I can fix them.

If you would like to either link to a page on my site, or use text from my site,
 I have no problem with it IF you do the following.

>> PAY ATTENTION NOW! <<

When emailing me please insure that your imbedded "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 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."

...and a request.  Please DO NOT add me to your bulk email list for jokes, etc.  I receive over 250 email messages a day and the mail gets overwhelming sometimes.

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. They enemy overran his castle and killed him. His final words were, "I didn't think they were serious."

Disclaimer

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!  Grow up and don't bother writing your congressional representatives, crying to your shrink, or writing me hate mail.  Put on your "big-girl" panties and ADJUST!

* The term "liberal" is quite misused these days. In actuality, "liberal" means standing for less restrictions and more individual freedoms.  Unfortunately, as used today, it stands for those 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, and distribute  the earnings of those who work hard to to get ahead to those who are too lazy to better themselves"--more like socialism than true 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 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.
