Twenty Years at FReerepublic - Vanity

FR and my fertile mind | 10/23/2018 | Me

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon.

My name is Mike Kehoe. I am FReeper number 13,500 and I was born on October 23, 1998.

Like many FReepers, I found Jim Robinson's house through a link from Drudge. It was March 1998 and Jim's house had all kinds of problems. From the flame wars to the Whitehouse basement. From the Italians (html) which produced chaos in the Forum, to funding a website which was experiencing a BOOM in growth.

I thought at the time, I'm not signing up here to post, it is dangerous (along with death threats and lawsuits).

So along comes FR's March for Justice. These FReepers are attempting to help the impeachment of a sitting president. They are a serious bunch. Woohoo! I got to sign up...

In the last twenty years I have been to many Freeps (helped save the 2000 election), made many Friends and broke bread with some of the best people on the planet. The First lady and me have met at least four hundred FReepers over 20 years and many are still alive.

FR has been a force in our history. From dispatching lying journalists to primaring RINOs, we have made a difference in our nation's politics and culture.

I have enjoyed FR more than any other website on the internet. Thanks JimRob.

One more thing. Ever since I signed up, I have made it a point to donate to FR to keep the doors open. I believe it has been worth it.

May the Lord bless all FReepers and especially bless Jim, John and their families. Amen.

Deep in the Hurtgren Forest: I actually bought a copy of his “Doctoral Dissertation”, gave it to a friend who was there, his opinion was BS. I may still have it in my collection of literary junk.

His “military record” was pretty crazy:

Officer, but sniper school, chopper pilot, Navy SEAL, ranger, LRRP Marine...

Ok, I exaggerate a bit but...there was a lot of whacky stuff thrown in there.

I think he also cited his various impossible medals.

A sadly sick man who was finally unmasked as a fraud.

Happy Birthday old timer... 👍

I found out my years ago that if you want to find out about something play stupid and then investigate. If I find it I will send it to you,

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon. I hope you are doing well.

Your baby grew up bigly.

Thanks for your kind words.

Go Florida!

Lots of good memories. I miss the thread tally showing number of views (in addition to the number of comments).

Class of 1998

I remember when Don Morgan was chasing somebody all over the place to turn off the Italics!! Lololol

[M Kehoe]

Well, you are a part of the Class of ‘98.

We had fun.

No matter, everyone on FR knows who you are after 18 years.

I guess I have another year before my anniversary.

Yeah ... but I didn’t really “get it” for a couple of months. There were some buffers in there that patted me on my head and said everything would be alright ..... and I don’t know what it was ..... maybe the blood in the water .... but I proudly own two (I can remember) double secret suspensions.

[M Kehoe]

Thanks.

So far I have a birthday cake and milk.

Cash people, cash!

I crack me up.
