First Post

Posted on 08/04/2007 11:36:03 AM PDT by Jim Shear

This will be my first post here. After watching The O'Rielly Factor the other night and seeing how he broadsided the host here I thought I must come and visit. I thought what O'Rielly did was a little dishonest, so here I am. I hope I posted this in the right forum so please excuse me while I browse around more and get my footing...Jim

Hello, and welcome. I hope you enjoy yourself, I hope you learn a lot (I always do), and I hope you have fun. Freepers are some of the most well informed, witty and compassionate people that I know. I am proud and pleased to call them FRiends.

Welcome to FR!

Good call on O’Really?

His “No Spin Zone” used to have a few of us dazed and impressed... and we have since wisened up as have you.

Might I recomend a few ping lists.

Friday silliness thread (user Lucky9teen)- Break from politics

Pookie18 ‘s Daily Toons- Politics in a nice, Bambi-eyed format

Anything from user SunkenCiv- Historical/educational(schooling, archaeology, string theory)

There’s many many others, and these are just my big ones.

Hello, and welcome! O’Reilly USED Free Republic to suit his little “fair and balanced, no spin zone” routine—as you will quickly see. And the mods are ever-present here. Pith on O’Reilly.

Welcome aboard!

As one who has been here almost from the beginning, I feel it my duty to inform you that looking for the sort of thing Bill imagines he found here is much like looking for pork in pork n beens! It will be VERY hard to find.

Welcome.

I would have posted this to chat. But then again I’ve never completely understood what the smoky back room is supposed to be.

Think of it as FR's detention room for threads.

It's for 'cue spooky music' threads and for unsubstantiated rumors like what's published in the NY Times.

I hate you.

Okay, now that we have that out of the way, check out some of the informative and just plain fun threads. If you have high speed connection the Canteen threads are a blast. Graphics intensive and slow loading, but some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

You should read the Statement By Our Founder on the home page. It lays out his views and the direction he wants his forum to go. He’s a great guy, and chances are you’ll agree with most of his views.

Happy FReeping!
