Free Republic is a great resource. I was a Free Republic lurker during several of the Clinton years - FR was a sanity check and much-needed consolation for having the guy as president, as it is now with President Obama. Never thought I'd miss Bill Clinton, or think that Hillary might be a better president . . .

I am a Christian, Pro-Life Conservative. I love and pray for our country, but am saddened by some of the changes over the last several years. I am proud of our military and the Tea Party is awesome!!

I am owned by two cats - Dickens the opinionated pudgeball and Pippen the Maine Coon mix who wonders why I try to tell him what to do (since he's obviously in charge) and 2 golden retrievers who love to wrestle with one another -Dakota and Bailee.
