From an old time Freeper (vanity!)
Heart | 1-22-03 | MonroeDNA

Posted on 01/22/2003 6:23:34 PM PST by MonroeDNA

I guess I've been around here for about 5 years or so now. Time sure flies!

When Jim Robinson started this site, it was because he was fed up with the liberal media, and how they would not let people worldwide know about the corruption of the Clinton Administration. A few of us, equally concerned, (with great luck) found it fast.

In the early days, FR was a day-to-day operation, always on the brink of bankruptcy. Jim kept on, and we chipped in when it became too much. We knew how important this site was, and is. Sometimes, it came down to the wire, and we wrote checks, and sent them in, as best we could.

Look at it now. We all get our best information from this site. It is huge, with thousands of posters, and millions of readers. Yet Jim still keeps it alive because of his conviction, and he is absolutely NOT making a profit on it. He just believes. As do we.

BTW, did you know that the founder of this site is in a wheelchair (sorry Jim; I know you think it doesn't make a r*ts a$$ difference. Hey, some folks out there need to come down a peg, like I have.).

Think of it! In the darkest days of the Clinton Administration, there was a lone internet site where people with integrity, brains, and sheer gumption could discuss the dangers faced by the US. Not on CNN, for sure.

Earthmovers like Drudge, Ann Coulter, Rush, WFBuckley, his brother, Savage, Buchanan, both houses of Congress (many) check in to see what we think.

The opposition checks it out, too. Like the NY times staff, CNN, etc. Trust me, they all come here to read. Even YOUR post. You know by now how they are whining about Rush? We're next, as soon as they figure out how they can trash this site without it getting a million hits.

I've been broke; I've been not broke. I've slept in my car. I know how it feels to be squeezed tight with bills. Folks with giant bills: You're not alone, and you have friends here. :)

If you love this site as much as I do, please, please sign up for automatic payment of just $3 per month. Don't be embarrassed if you think this is too little. It absolutely is not. You $3 a month folks are our grassroots movement heroes. Be proud. Become one of the thousand points of light here, and you will so feel proud every month. We'll thank you for it, and are so glad to have you on board.

I know things are rough out there. But you are tough, and a member of the greatest grassroots freedom movement in 100 years. Together we are making history, and will change the world, as we already have. The best is yet to come.

Most countries out there would consider this website illegal. They hate us, for our freedom. Their systems cannot stand, in the face of Freedom. The people there read us when they can, when they are “allowed” to, and are not being tortured. They flock to us, America, because they want to be free. Help us help them.

Would you please, please consider signing up for just $3 a month? Please? That’s all it takes, really, believe it or not. You will make a world of difference, to, well, the world. Be proud, Americans, and please help out!

Come on, fess up. Quit being nice.

Tell us all your real purpose in posting this vanity. You've just been banned for the sixth time, you hate Jim Robinson and you want to start a flame war. Go on, admit it.

I LOVE your profile! It starts with: "We will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail."

During the impeachment years, I only knew about talk radio (Rush) but didn't have a sense that there were a great number of us who felt the same way. I wish I had known about FR then, it would have saved me a whole lot of angst.

My son is in special ops and currently deployed in the middle east. I am so thankful that so many of our citizens appreciate what he does, and what all our military does. FR gives us a window into the world of patriots... remembering the days of Vietnam War protests when the media would have us believe that the entire country was against the war and our military. FR allows us to connect with other patriots and people who support our young people who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

I remember posting the first night Free Republic started. Jim Robinson himself told me about the site as we posted together on the Prodigy bulletin boards. But I initially registered under a different screenname. I changed to this screenname in December of '97. (I used be known as "Ken Cook" but I decided to adopt a cooler moniker.)

A volley bump back atcha. About time for the evening crowd to start churning, and we have, what, 8% to go?

We do live in interesting times. You made the point that one ticked-off computer geek in a wheelchair started this phenomenon - consider that Franklin and Madison would certainly look at that silly piece of paper they wrote in Philadelphia and its geopolitical consequences not much more than two centuries later and think, too, in terms of pebbles and avalanches.

Folks, the imitators don't even come close (even with celebrity names and corporate dough) and there isn't any real competition. This is the real deal. You got your Adamses and your Hamiltons and the rest of the boys in wigs (including a general who took his country's IOUs) but the fact is that somebody like us had to pay the candle bills at Independence Hall. Pony up.

I stand corrected! Freeper #39, not 38.

More like #200, considering we all had to register in a short time.

Apparently I put in the wrong html code for #33 which resulted in anybody opening that link getting directed to their own homepage!

LOL!
