Free Republic

It was surreal to step onto the stage and to feel the unity, energy, and absolute commitment to this nation on the National Mall yesterday in Washington DC. It was even more surreal to know that all who were there had come from every different corner of life imaginable in the United States. Nonetheless, we were honored to join Parcbench, the National Tea Parties, and every patriot who stood up on 9.12 for the future of America:

FREEPER "THE MAYOR" IS ON CAVUTO RIGHT NOW\

Share a NiteCap and an interview with HonestConservative and Brian Darling of the Heritage Foundation as we discuss the healthcare scam and how socialists goals have changed little in our lifetime, just ask Ronald Reagan, whose conservative philosophy will be with us through the glories of audio technology.

Today marks six years as a Freeper for me, I must be addicted!

How to tell if you've been FReeping too longIf some, many or all of the following apply to you, you probably have been FReeping too long. You remember when you had to know basic HTML in order to form a decent post.  You remember when the entire thread had to be 86’d in order to remove a single post.  You remember when if someone forgot to close their italics, bold tags, the entire thread after that point was in bold or italics.  You remember when if a disruptor made a mess of things during the wee hours of the night,...

As longtime readers know, in the past several years, I've gotten a lot of death threats, ALL of them from Muslim residents of the United States a/k/a the "moderate" ones. Three of the four have been prosecuted, but the Justice Department refuses to pursue the most scary and frequent of the death threat perpetrators (Lola Elzein, who contacted me six times with escalating threats of rape, torture, and death to myself and my family members). But yesterday, I got a not-so-veiled threat from a man named Chad Castagana, who is on the right . . . the far, far, nutty...

Another day, another outrage from the Obama Administration. OK,how about a little diversion? Who is the posting champ of FreeRepublic? Who has posted the most number of threads? The most number of replies? Who has been here the longest(other than JimRob,of course!)? Check "Account" at the top of the page and let us know.

The next ten days are going to involve some intense campaigning on the ground in the Fifth District of Illinois, with the goal of electing FR's own chicagolady, Rosanna Pulido, to Congress on April 7. We still need more volunteers! No matter where you live, if you can make phone calls from home for Rosanna, please contact Maureen Gerrish at pulidophonebank@gmail.com, and she'll get you all set up. If you live in or near the district, please join up with one of our teams that will be canvassing precincts every day for the next ten days. We're starting out tomorrow...

Rahm Emanuel is an anti gun politician who recently became Barack Obama’s chief of staff. He was previously the the US Congressman for Illinois’ 5th congressional district - a congressional seat that is now vacant. The seat will soon be filled through an election, with the primary occurring on March 3, 2009, and the general election on April 7, 2009. Getting a pro gun rights individual elected would be a nice change, especially since the president is anti gun, and both chambers of congress are controlled by anti gun politicians: Rosanna Pulido is running for congress to fill the seat...

Okay, I'll start: 1) Blagojevich walks scott free 2) My salary continues to remain stagnate 3) The bailout results in a massive debt to taxpayers with zero benefit to them 4) Iran aquires nuclear weapons and we (including Bush) failed to do anything about it 5) Jamie Gertz continue's to become even more attractive as she ages

We have a long hard road ahead, share some presents with our online home, FREE REPUBLIC, and keep it going!

Hi everyone. In the neverending search for likeminded people I have started a facebook group called "Freepers on Facebook" for anyone who is interested. I am hopeful that we can use it for activism and networking in the future. Cheers

If the S.C. Republican establishment (including Senate President Glenn McConnell and Lt. Gov. André Bauer) had gotten behind her campaign four years ago, Katherine Jenerette would be a Republican State Senator right now. Not only that … Jay-Z’s hit “99 Problems” wouldn’t be the official theme song of South Carolina’s so-called “deliberative” body. Anyway, McConnell and Bauer (like the rest of the “Republican” Caucus) chose not to back Jenerette’s campaign, deciding instead to support behind the campaign of their big government buddy Sen. Dick Elliott, a Democrat and one of the most corrupt politicians in state history. It’s just another...

Today is my official anniversary as a FReeper. I don't post as much as I did in the early years, but I'm here reading every day. When the board is down, I IM my friends and tell them, "Call the paramedics! FreeRepublic is down!" Most of them "get it" now since they've become FReepaholics themselves. This forum has gotten me through some difficult and challenging times over the years. Monicagate and Bill Clinton in general, the 2000 election from hell, 9-11, the Columbia explosion, the 2004 election, the 2008 election, and many others. I also met a FReeper ("whoever") who...

10 years logged in and almost a year lurking too. What a long time. What a part of my life Thank you everyone.

Could someone please help me find a FReeper? I can't remember her name, but she posted in a thread the day after the election saying she was taking a holiday from Free Republic for awhile to work on her study on Jews in the South. I want to get in touch with her because she could be a big help to me regarding my Master's thesis. Does anyone know who I am talking about?

I've never seen so many vanities on FR. Ever. And most by newbies, who perhaps don't understand what FR is meant to be. FR has ceased to be a place to evaluate the published word, and has degenerated into a sophomoric chatroom. Jim -- can you please provide guidance on what you'd like to see FR become? Can you let us know your thoughts on vanities, and explain how you'll enforce your policy regarding vanities? I personally feel that if the ratio of vanities to discussion of the published word continues to increase, FR will become a common chatroom for...

Anyone watching the HBO movie "Recount" about the 2000 election will notice a scene where a banner plane is flying overhead with "Surrender Gorethy". Not as famous as Sore/Loserman but one of many Freeper inspired slogans that helped shape the mood during Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election. Back in those days it was our own "Freeper Airforce" who took to the skies to put up these political messages. Freepers "Seeking the Truth" (aka Gene) and "flygirl" seem to have been flying political messages as early as October and flew the "Surrender Gorethy" banner on Thursday 11/16/2000. So my...

Well ... I have been a LONG time lurker here, but this is my first post. If this is the wrong place for this, please direct to the Lost and Found threads. Ever since McCain selected Sarah Palin as his VP running mate, I have lost my wife ... freeper Lady Heron. I have been told she is fighting a 7 X 24 addiction to Free Republic. I think she may be nearby as I constantly hear poll numbers, event attendance numbers, and shouts of "Oh no!," "Oh my!," "Yea!" and "Wow" around the house .... I even get text...
