I just passed my 20 mark here at Free Republic!
Wow. Kind of sneaks up you.
I joined during the 2000 election endless recount circus. And it looks like we’re in for another chaotic mess of an election this year.
Let’s see how many 20+ FR veterans I can get to respond!
My kids were 9 and 13 when I joined. They are 29 and 33 now. Both are fire breathing conservatives with more conviction than I ever had.
Put it in your will that the kids do not get a dime until they’ve notified Jimrob of your passing.
Any Islay scotch is the best scotch.
July 30, 1998
I will be 20 here years on November 28. Yep, joined when Gore tried to steal that election.
Boy, that takes me back...did we ever find out who he was?
I have been here since 1996 changed my screen name and password during Trump bought a Mac couldn’t sign on site because I forgot my password ! I got so impatient waiting for someone from FR to get back to me with my password I just started a new account!! Previously was KitCat!!
I use "Orthodox Americanism" as shorthand to refer to the common sense original ideas for how our country should work. It is constitutionalism as originally intended, and more. The genius of American government is LIMITED government especially at the big national level, with 9th and 10th amendment recognition of our unalienable rights to limited government powers especially at the big levels, and to many unalienable rights both written and unwritten, which we the people retain.
In addition many of our rights extend to all levels of government, even the micro levels.
It's more the government the founding fathers intended.
And it's NOT mob rule democracy like the news media and most "liberals" think these USA are about (what an old word now, the leftists are so much worse nowadays).
You are the first person I think to ever ask me about that tag.
The term "orthodox" to me is a reminder that we have a standard that we have to keep going back to. We just have to keep re-setting things back to our original genius ideas for government -- because the kids just keep pushing their unstudied feel-good interventions, which will eventually grow to become mass demicide if they go on unchecked.
This is what we face if these sociocommunofascists gain real power in this election. (I am not saying anything you are not already aware of, of course.)
(I have Scottish heritage (among others) but am not schooled enough in history to really know what "Scottish Enlightenment (Lockian/Painian)" refers to. I do think that there were many great thinkers and doers among the founders in addition to Locke and Paine. Those founding fathers had to be both geniuses, and feisty, so you can certainly see where Scot blood would help!)
June ‘98. I lurked for a while.
#287...same here...although I’m just tired now...but I have been known to enjoy a beer (usually 1)...then I get tired. : )

Around for Gore/Bush and 9/11.
Do we get a star sticker or something if we made it for twenty years in this rough and tumble forum?
Thanks Dr. and all as we all “wind on down the road” [Stairway to Heaven]...

BTTT!
22+ for me, with two screen name changes.
LOL!! I’ve got my will already made, but since I don’t own any property, assets, stocks, bonds, savings, there’s nothing for them to get other than splitting my life insurance. They can enjoy cleaning this apartment out too, like I had to do when my mother and sister died. It’s the one way you can get back at your kids after you’re gone.
