I remember when the conversation was exclusively anti abortion. Can’t place the date but probably around 1995. My first post was an anti abortion screed. Someone commented “Where did YOU come from?” Made me feel welcome. I have had a home here ever since.

FreeRepublic was THE driving force behind the public protests of the 2000 election recounts in Florida. The focus had shifted from Clinton to a demand for a broader application of conservative principles and government accountability.

Hey Bushbacker1, who are these bitter-clinging, gun-toting, racist-sexists radicals?

Does anyone besides me remember the time Rush let the phrase “barf alert” slip out once on his show?

I wonder what his FReeper handle is?

When I first began hearing Bush talking about how he “reached across the aisle and worked with the Democrats in Texas” when he was Governor, I thought, “Ha! You reached across the aisle, and you still have a hand left?” - But, then he happened, and he continued to reach across that one-way street aisle, allowing Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to lead him around by the nostril. I didn’t like it; but he was all we had, and he did hang on to a few things - but not nearly enough. Even now, I find him to be too cooperative with Obama’s photo-ops. Also, Jeb’s connection to the Latino contingent is just too muddled..

The LIEberal left could not believe that Conservatives would do such effective and meaningful “Street Theater!”

We showed ‘em, beginning with the March for Justice on Oct. 31, 1998!

Kinda “soft” through the Bush years, but I have a feeling that our time is coming back!
