It saved my sanity for years before I ever registered and posted!
Thanks for posting and congrats today, Jim. I rememeber that scene in the picture very well: Saturday, October 31, 1998, Washington, DC. I attended the march and signed up on FR when I got home. I had been a lurker for about 6 months prior.
Happy 10th Anniversary! I cannot express how valuable Free Republic is to me. Thank you for all you have done!
That is also the time that finally made me a Freeper. I have been lurking ever since then. I spend at least an hour a day here and have loved every minute. It has kept me from going crazy with MSM spin.
Thank You Jim Rob and Thank You to All Freepers!
Thanks Mr. Robinson, Thanks for Everything...
Of the thousands of websites like it that of come and gone, FR is still the leader.
History and expertise have been captured here in a new and fascinating way. Every once in a while I wonder how long my sometimes stupid, sometimes interesting observations and arguments will anonymously outlive me on these web pages: will FR be here 50 years from now? What will it be like? Will anyone posting today still be posting then?
What will those future conservatives think when they read the archived threads about 9-11....the WOT....the various contentious elections?
100 years from now, will some young conservative historian be flipping through posts from 2004 and say to themselves, "Wow. That Psycho Bunny.......what a dick."
Probably.
And I have Jim Robinson to thank for it!
Happy 10th FreeRepublic Anniversary!
As HAL9000 says, there is MUCH that remains to be done. We must be ever vigilant, because the DUmmies never, ever stop.
The Dan Rather memogate debacle is the ultimate example of what can be accomplished at the grassroots level, but we all know that they're out there, still trying to bring down our President.
Our task now is to make sure that we continue to hold the majority in Congress. Think: Ways & Means Chairman Charlie Rangel, Majority Leader Pelosi, not to mention the odious John Conyers initiating impeachment...and on and on - quel horreur!!
Thanks Jim!
Of all my bookmarks and all the websites I visit FR stands head and shoulders above the rest in value.
Congratulations, Jim, and thank you with all my heart for FR!
Thanks, JR and crew... Truly a world-changing endeavor...
Happy tenth anniversary. Time flies, as I've been here for over half of it. Doesn't seem like it.

Okay, here you go:

Specially when your debating skeels have been stuned by a beeber!
Thanks for the ping ES.
Thank you so much for this wonderful home Jim!
Congratulations on the web site that has literally changed the face of politics here in the USA. Remember how FR helped:
1) Put the publicity on the Democratic shenanegans during the Florida 2000 Presidential vote fiasco.
2) Did much to help expose the Jayson Blair scandal at the New York Times.
3) Did much to publicize the Swift Boat Vets in 2004.
4) Literally changed history by kicking off the Rathergate scandal.
4) Expose the extreme bias of Eason Jordan at CNN.
And this is only scratching the surface what what FR has done to expose the excesses of the Left. Is it small wonder why newspapers, newsmagazines and the evening network news broadcast are becoming irrelevant?
