Life was never the same after finding www.freerepublic.com, How about Yours?
Kick the liberals out! is the battle cry! ^ | 9/8/2001 | TLBSHOW

My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com

I was a normal kind of guy. I ate food went out for walks and even watched videos, eek! I took the wife shopping. Even talked to the wife once in awhile.

Then that fateful night of Nov 7th 2000. I had to go somewhere else to to watch the election results as I do not have Cable TV. I went to the pizza joint on rt 7 and then to my secret election watch hide out.(No one to interupt)

I wanted to watch Bush beat the socks off of Gore. I new it was going to be a great night. Little did I know I would never sleep that night or for the next 5 weeks.

It took me till the end of November to find out I was not alone. That there was a freerepublic.com.

Before I would tell people the truth and they all wouldn't have a clue or they thought, this boy is NUTS! It was a lonely life thinking Am I The Only One that sees what is going on with this country and what the liberal bias media and the leftist democrats were doing to it, let alone the Clintons and Reno.

Well to make the story short. I was watching the news and these great people were on TV saying get out of Cheneys house. There it was the sign said Freerepublic.com. I copied it down and ran to my computer. I typed it in and sure enough The NEW WORLD WAS RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!

I think what would my life be if there was not a FR. If the rest of you were not here. That was enough to make me sit up and take notice. What can I do to make sure FR is here forever. Then I found out all I had to do was support the place and along with 70,000 other members make FR home. That we could change the world from here and with hundreds of thousands of people stopping by everyday we could tell the whole world the truth.

I would not trade all of you fine FReepers for any other world.

My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com (What about yours?)

Ok everyone has your life been the same since logging on to FR and what adventures have you had?

Sometimes I like FR -- sometimes it p*sses me off, like the fact that JediGirl got banned. That's lame.

How did JediGirl get banned? I disagreed with her views like I do with all secular humanism, but I never personally saw her go off the deep end of personal attacks.

Ah yes---the great votus interruptus/sleepus interruptus/exercisus interruptus of 2000. I should have purchased stock in Hanes Fleecewear that night, because by Christmas I would venture that most of us could only fit into something elasticized and stretchy.

I appreciate the opportunity that FR provides me to have witty and clever interchange with folks who can say more to me than "Hold muh beer 'n watch this."

You discovered the sight around the 2000 elections too. I was looking for conservative forums with google and Freerepublic showed up. This was in October, but with the election fiasco, this and Rush Limbaugh became my only major news sources.

She made a lot of pro-marijuana and drug posts.

Fox would be third on my list for news. So yes, TV doesn't rate too high for my news sources anymore. Of course Rush has been at the top of my list for years, until I found FR.

Back in 1998 I was listening to a local radio talk show and heard a woman who was planning to protest Bill Clintoon, who was coming to town for yet another fundraiser.

Long story short: I ended up helping her - doing TV interviews, etc. It grew and grew due to lots of media coverage (KPRC and Jon Matthews). We named it the "Black Beret Rally" and we urged women to wear blue dresses, black berets and knee pads.

About 750 worthy and wonderful Houstonians showed up to protest - with about 100 women in "uniform!!!!"

That day I saw a group of people hugging and laughing as if they'd just met their long-lost relatives. I walked over and asked them what the deal was. (I remember this is when I met my dear friends Gracey and Katy Kelly and BuffyT.)

Anyway, they told me about FR. They were already FReepers and invited me to log on for the ride of my life. I've been here since and wild horses couldn't drag me away!

beats local news

I actually come to FR first every morning for news even when I don't feel like replying or getting involved.
