Putting up with you? Oh, please! You have made our lives as conservatives full of hope and a way forward. Here's what should be put up with you:

I'm with you on that. Small farms, workshops, small kiosks or roadside stands -- we had it once. Very much hope we can have it again in some fashion. Communes not for sex, but for common skills and small-scale local production. I see a great future, at least for designers, in 3-D copying.
Jim Rob, don’t thank me...what would I and many others do without you. You are a mind saver for those of us conservatives.
Ping to this post....as discussed privately...
Excellent post 65.
I don’t think any of us care to have ourselves exposed to anyone with a computer...but heck....the government has known more about me than I do...from security checks.
I received an e-mai the other day:
My dad voted for Republicans until the day he died.
Now he’s voting democrat.
Jim, I have a suggestion, but I don’t know how to implement this. I am a monthly donor via credit card. My credit card has been compromised TWICE in the past six months. Unless I am prompted, I forget any yearly or monthly payments/donations I have on the card until and unless I am reminded. You need a reminder system for credit card people so that if/when their cards are compromised, go into expiration, etc. that you don’t lose their intended donations. When my card was compromised I never received a reminder from FR that my contribution was overdue. I don’t know how much you lose from this problem, but it could be significant.
Thanks for all you do.

Thank you very much, Big Giant Head!!
The March for Justice was a truly inspiring event and that was entirely due to the FReepers. Will never forget it for as long as I live. The FReepers who attended and the ones who worked so hard to make it successful are true patriots!!
I’m very sorry if I get emotional. Pent up emotion is what drove me to start FR and also drove me to go to DC. I’d never done anything like that it my entire life. I am not a protester. Totally missed the 60’s as I was off fighting the commies.
I had been posting against Clinton and the dem’s corruption for several years on Prodigy, but was frustrated that there were only a few hundred posting and reading on that private ($$$) forum, so decided to open up the discussion to the entire world on the Internet where anyone with a computer and modem could read our posts for free.
Within a couple years after opening the FR forum I was threatened and sued by the ultra liberal progressive LA Times and Washington Post, but being the stubborn, emotional man that I am, I was bound to continue trying to save my liberty so spat in their face.
Then in the fall of ‘98, some of Clinton’s unionist/communist goons viciously attacked one of our FReepers who was peacefully protesting in the City of Brotherly Love (Brotherly love? Now ain’t that the truth? How far we have fallen). When I saw them attack and draw blood on Don Adams and his sister broadcast on the nightly news I told Sheila, that does it. I’ve got to go to DC. She agreed, so I posted that on FR and the FReepers agreed, and many started making plans that night to join me and the March for Justice was born.
The March for Justice was a beautiful event. Thousands of conservatives and Republicans turning out on a sunny October day, in DC, to openly protest on LIVE TV and call for the impeachment of a corrupt democrat president. Republicans are usually too reserved to get out in the public and protest, but not on this day. And it was broadcast live on C-Span and we began getting emails and new sign-ups from all across the country.
My own nephew saw it on TV and later told me that he was shocked to see me “call out” the president of the United States and challenge him to a fist fight on our stage. I didn’t even realize I had done that until I watched a replay. Sure enough, I got so emotional on that stage that I pointed across the green lawn toward the White House and told Bill Clinton that we had been here on this stage in his back yard for several hours insulting him and his wife on national TV, and if he were any kind of man, he would come over here to defend their honor and he and I would go to town, right here, right now!
Well, we eventually lost, er, settled the million dollar lawsuit with the Washington Post and had to start excerpting, but we didn’t lose the fight with president Clinton. He did get impeached and that’s in the history books, though the wimpy Republican senate led by turncoat Trent Lott let him off the hook. I lost a lot of respect in the Republican party as a conservative force that day and other than a few shining moments with GWB, the Republicans have continued their squishiness trend ever since.
I do get emotional when I see liberty spiraling down the drain. Free Republic is dedicated to securing the Blessings of God’s Liberty to ourselves and our posterity. I’m now nearing the end of my days on earth, so it’s starting to get urgent for me. I regret that I have but one life to give for our children’s liberty. And I hate to see the Republicans piss it away with the very worst liberal progressive candidate ever to run for the presidency as a Republican. That’s just the way I am.
Thank you all very much for putting up with me.
God bless.
Thank you very much, SFmom. That is a problem I wish we could solve sooner rather than later. John says we need to rewrite that entire system, but he just hasn’t had the time to tackle the project. Hopefully, we’ll get it done soon.

WOW. I loved the Rolling Stones!
