There are some Freepers I would love to see respond to this. For me it was 1999 and even though we were suffering under Clinton I still had hope. It’s worse now but my name still fits.
Mine is july4thfreedomfoundation.
It’s from the 1980’s TV mini-series “Amerika,” which showed what life would be like in the former United States ten years after a takeover by the Soviet Union.
It was never clear about how the takeover happened, but it had something to do with an EMP attack on the U.S. by the Russians.
Anyhow, in the mini-series, our Congress was nothing more than home-grown American collaborators who were appointed by the Soviet occupation forces. No one was elected. At some point during the mini-series, a resistance group blew up the Capitol Building and killed the Soviet appointed stooges. The resistance group wrote their name on the sidewalk in front of the ruins of the Capitol Building. The name of the resistance group: July 4th Freedom Foundation or some such name. When I signed up on Free Republic, this mini-series popped up in my mind, for whatever reason.
“For me it was 1999 and even though we were suffering under Clinton I still had hope”
Compared to the way things are now, I would give anything to go back to the Clinton years.
