I have huge respect for people who have belief.
Although there are more important things in my life than FreeRepulic, I appreciate your sincerity.
FreeRepublic is simply the BEST website I know of.
I was not too involved with politics - UNTIL THIS ELECTION. Once I saw the danger of a Gore presidency which would continue the downward spiral of corruption in government plus put in control a man who did not play by the rules and put himself above all other concerns, I was rudely awaken.
I had heard of FR from my husband and Drudge - but most comments when mentioned to others was "watch out for that place - a bunch of weirdo's and radicals" or "you'll get into some bad stuff there". I took this to mean fringe elements, militias, or tin-foil hat theorists.
I would come periodically but still was watching for those weirdo's. But during the election trama - I started coming to find the latest info - been here since.
Can't believe the Clintons didn't draw me here. What got me here was watching the attempted theft of an election by the Gore machine. That was when I realized what serious trouble our country was in. If one man could make a whole state give him special treatment after another had already won, if one man could get a state supreme court to interpret the law to allow him all that he wished, if a winner had to win an election 4 times and still have people lie and say he did not win - our country was at risk after all. Not in the future - but right now today.
What I have found here has been wonderful - great people, religious beliefs freely expressed, love of country and conservative values prominent and the exposure of the liberalism goals and lies - in addition, others to work with as we find ways to counter the problems in our country.
