What Has Free Republic Ever Done for.... YOU?

[aruanan]

I say it was devine intervention!!:>)

Is he still alive?

[July 4th]

What Free Republic has done for me:

- Given me the world's best breaking news minutes before the mainstream press

- Allowed me to post and comment on that news, along with giving my own viewpoint, thereby keeping me sane and perhaps helping others to understand the situation

- Kept me out of trouble while in college and law school

- Gave me the desire to finally get real marksmanship lessons

- Helped me defeat countless liberals in verbal arguments.

Thank you FR!

My boy, for 13 year of age, y'all got some heavy wisdom there! Good on you!

[Ditter]

Yes of course I meant it as a complement to FR. I was just too skinney when I began freeping, now I AM a Sumo wrestler. lol (a small Sumo wrestler)

[Flora McDonald]

LOL. I'll second that.

And may I say, that Free Republic is addictive, extremely so. My life took a radical turn when I hit the sidewalks. It has gotten to the point that my husband has found me walking the streets in seedy sections of town and standing on street corners vying for motorists attention. A wino tried to give me a quarter on my last outing but pride wouldn't let me take it. Not content to go it alone, I actually encouraged my beautiful daughter to follow in my footsteps and out of love she did. What is to become of me?

By the way, does Free Republic have a bail fund?

LOL

FR lets me enjoy my love of history.

FR has taugh me..

1. That politics can be more complicated that need be, mostly by human corruption (sin).

2. That Anti-Freepers have very little lives and their hatred is self defeating.

3. That there is good people out there with very worthy ideas worth reading.

4. That the liberal press can not hide the truth when free people are allowed to converse with civility.

5. That typo's are part of life, deal with it.

6. That Christianity is under constant attack in more ways than I dare to count.

FR has given me Special Forces Guy!!!

(Many thanks to Sweetliberty, who addict...opps, I mean introduced me to FR!)

[Petronski]

That depends. On which street corner can a guy like me find you?

[F.J. Mitchell]

That's what I thought. I'm just in one of my goofy moods tonight, trying to be funny.

[Cate]

See, thank God for Free Republic. I had a problem and you solved it. Of course, $100 bills would be better. Cancel that trip to Staples. Do you want the bills in neat stacks or flung all over the inside of your car? Your choice.

What Has Free Republic Ever Done for.... YOU?

Kept me up past my bedtime ;-)

[Ditter]

I love it when goofy moods happen.

...that you can close your eyes, cross your arms, turn around, and fall back with full confidence into the arms of people you have never met in your lifetime. And they will catch you. Every time.

These two are my favorites. Thank you.

[openotherend]

I used to fib quite frequently. Since I've been coming to FR for about 35 years now, I don't lie as much as I used to.

[WKB]

Kept me up past my bedtime ;-)

More than once I'm afraid

[nicollo]

FR has been many things, and that includes keeping me up too late, and making me laugh like hell. Above all, FR has been where my ideas are put to test. Mistakes hardly ever get past Freepers. Every thread, every post is a challenge.

FR is a windtunnel for ideas.

Anywhere red diaper doper babies are cluttering up the landscape!
