A Few of FR's Finest...Every Day - Weekend....10-12,13-02

A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute
and support our military and our leaders; tell a few jokes; learn a new
word; write poetry; pray for those in need; and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

"Simple Man"
(To be sung to Charlie Daniels Band's "Simple Man")

I ain't nuthin' but a simple man...Left calls me a redneck, reckon that I am...
But there's things goin' on make me mad down to the core!
I gotta work like Left's dawg...I'm enslaved to DeeCee...
Where crooked politicians sell our Nukes to Chinese,
And I'm madder than Hell and I ain't gonna take it no more!
Reagan told our kids to, "Just Say No!"
But then Ol' Slick Willie jokes, "Let's have another toke!"
Tells us 'bout his briefs, then laughs while his intern goes down.
Well, if I had my way with RAT's Apostle From Hope,
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope,
I'd hang 'im up high and let 'im squeal while Dwight goes tat town!!

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today,
People done gone thrown their values away,
They livin' by the "Law of Slick Willie" not the "Law of the Land."
Well, the Good Book says it so I need no more proof...
"A Lie's still a Lie and the Truth's still the Truth."
Bill better watch what he's sayin', Law's closin' in on him,
Can't you FReepers see it?! Slick's a Felon, man!!!

Now I'm the kinda man who wouldn't harm a mouse,
But if I ketch somebody breakin' in my house,
I gotta 12-gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side!
So don't go a pushin' me against my will,
I don't wanna fight ya but I durn sure will,
So if you don't want trouble you better just pass me on by!
Becuz as far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse,
For Slick's Rapin', Mad Bombin', and Power Abuse,
But I gotta way to put an end to all that madness...
You just put them Lib'rals back on a boat,
Send 'em all First-class and make sure that it floats,
Send 'em all 'round the world and leave 'em wherever they like best!

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today,
People done gone put their Bibles away...
They livin' by the "Law of Bill Clinton" not the "Law of the Land."
Well, the Good Book says it, so I need no more proof,
A Lie's still a Lie and the Truth's still the Truth!
Bill better watch what he's sayin', we're closin' in on him...
Right's Hell-bent on Justice...Slick's a Traitor, man!!

Bill, watch where you're goin', Slim's just around the bend...
Mudboy's bent on Justice, you're Ol' Hist'ry, man!!

FReegards...MUD

What an incredible amount of work you put into this thread. I am blessed everytime I read it.

Thank you so much! Billie, daisyscarlett, dansangel and, our newest team member, JohnHuang2, do put many hours into their presentations. I am sure I speak for them when I say, because of the many Finest FRiends who enjoy and appreciate this thread, it is a labor of love.

Thank you for the update on Whoever...

Yes, thank you again, ru4. We sure do miss her and hope she knows that many here are holding her in our prayers.

May you all have a great weekend. Pray for our President, First Lady, those who lead and those who serve and protect us all. God Bless

Praise God for the wonderful man we have leading our country. May He continue to bless and guide him through the difficult days ahead.

A peaceful, restful weekend to you. :-)

Good morning! On my third cup.

Just wanted to update on my poisoned puppy. She is back to her normal routine and doing all the things she did before--jumping on furniture, tearing up Kleenex, etc. She had the staples removed from her neck (incision for an IV) yesterday and is "doing better." She is to stay on the vitamin K pills for a month. He said it takes a long time for poison to get out of the system.

I want to again thank everybody for their concern and prayers for my little dog.

It's a gorgeous, perfect day in East Texas!
