Happy anniversary! I lurked for months before signing up sometime in July 1998 I think.
Hard to imagine that I would be more informed from reading FR than any other source of news. It’s to the point that I’ve moved beyond talk radio as they or their researchers get breaking news from Free Republic it seems.
True words.
And hugs to you!
One of the nicest vanities ever posted! Thanks!
Yes, we jump up and down over the birth of a new FReeper!
In 2001, I asked here for prayers for our very-premie grandson, and FReepers weighed in to help. My dear daughter-in-law cried when she read the outpouring of love and prayers for what turned out to be our little miracle.
Our now-10 year old Grandson has the soul of an angel and I still believe that this is one more way that FR changed our lives, helping us let God know how much we wanted to keep him.
“... outpouring of love and prayers”.
I truly believe that sometimes in life what we need to know is that other people care for what we are going through. I am so happy your grandson is healthy and he must be an absolute blessing to all of his family. Your DIL must just look at him each and every day with such joy!
I remember when Tax-Chick had her baby girl... I cried. Never met Tax-Chick in person but I was so happy. (of course, I tell her now that I want to steal that precious little girl! LOL!)
Much, much worse. But NOW we have company (FRiends) with whom to plan and commiserate.
Molon labe!
Thank you for the wonderful article. It brought back memories of other difficult times. We must continue to support each other and work to restore the Constitution.
Your words are inspiring.
Thanks for your kind words.
Thank YOU for all of your articles detailing the successes of the 2nd amendment! I watch closely for them.
I, too, learned about FR from clicking the “Whitewater Files” link on Drudge. My 15 years will be this April.
Timing for me was JUUUUUST right. Drudge took down the FR link not too much later and it was down, literally for years.
*shudders* what if he’d taken it down a bit earlier??!!
REAFFIRM the Constitution! - If a Conservative President had done what Bill Clinton did and was IMPEACHED for, the Conservative’s name would be a byword (as in “Richard Nixon”) forever. - If a Conservative candidate had owned the BAGGAGE that Barack Hussein Obama did; even the “news” media would have used it, or ANYTHING to destroy him (as they did to Governor Palin, who is a decent Conservative Christian woman and who is head and shoulders above these snake oil salesmen we have now).
Would you believe that the Dhimmicrats are serious about running JOE BIDEN for President in 2016? - KEYSTONE COPS! describes the whole Obama Administration.
bump to the top
Happy Anniversary, and Happy New Year!
BLESS YOU
Well said.
“CBS NBC ABC FOX AP— all no different than Pravda.”
LOL
Actually and sadly, lately Pravda has been more informative (and accurate) than all of those others.
Happy Anniversary. I have been here since about June 1996 and one of the first several hundred to join. We are definitely not the low information voters, are we? LOL Because of our education system that has dumbed down an entire generation, this great nation is so screwed.
Great vanity FrogMom. I am so glad you found Drudge and FR. So much time we’ve spent gathering together, sharing. Seems like forever and only yesterday. What times...
GET OUT OF CHENEY’S HOUSE!!!
One of my favorites!
It’ll be 5 years tomorrow since posting this. It is a good time to think about the changes in our lives!
On the personal side, I had a stroke 2 months later, took a year to be able to type (with both hands) again. As therapy, I took up quilting, a HAPPY thing!
Our eldest Grandson joined the Army, our middle Grandson joined the Marines. I am a PROUD Grandma.
Both FrogDad and I retired, me because of the stroke, him - because it was time.
We have gotten two little dogs, both mutts, both rescues, both happy idiots.
I watched in horror the damage BO did to our country. The strife he caused with his divisive, bigoted personality.
I am still waiting for these jackasses to INDICT HILLARY. Jeez Louise!!
We stood in line for HOURS to vote for Trump (sorry, Nevertrumpers!). Provided he doesn’t kill someone on the White House lawn, will vote for him again.
I have TONS to be grateful for, this is still the greatest country in the history of the world, life is good!
