Words to ponder ................

---

Absolutely pathetic! This data shows that too many Freepers are really socialists looking for a free lunch!

You posted, There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running regularly."

That means these 1,000 or 1.6% of FreeRepublic users are really conservatives. The rest must really be communists or socialists who want a free lunch at FreeRepublic!

I'm retired and on social security. FreeRepublic gets an automatic check each month after my Social Security Check is deposited. I started this last December after FreeRepublic helped to save this Republic from be Goronized after the election!

Each month, Check Free sends an automatic check to my mortgage company, my church, my grandkids' education funds, Free Republic and another brave one man web site!

If each free loader cancelled their liberal fish wrap and sent to Free Republic an automatic monthly check of one half of what they pay the left wing extremist fishwrap, Free Republic could expand and really drive left wing extremists really crazy!

The other way to do this is to cancel your expensive tv cable which probably does not carry Fox Network News. Then subscribe to one of the TV satellite services. Then send your monthly savings in an automatic check to Free Republic!

Of course the conservative way to do it is really very simple. Make a monthly pledge to Free Republic and set it up to be done on an automatic basis. Then move on to the rest of your life and do more good deeds!

Usually in any organization, 10 to 20 % of the people involve contribute 80% of the value received and do 80 to 90% of the work. The 1.6% of Freepers being regular contributors is a truly pathetic % for those 59,000 who call themselves conservatives and do not contribute on a regular basis! (I know that some Freepers give some rather large sums on a yearly basis, and this nagging is not intended for them!)

I wonder how many who are so proud of an early date of belonging to FreeRepublic are also proud regular donators?

I would like to see a symbol by our profiles noting that person is a regular giver/donator to Free Republic. That would tell me a lot about someone that I don't know. If they are not a regular donor, then their message will be filtered with, "Why Not!"!

Our church has installed a new organ, new pews and recently completed a $650,000 earthquake retro fit. There is a plaque with the significant givers for each project! As Senior Warden emeritus, I get a lot of complaints and suggestions from members. Before I act or do anything, I check to see if they are regular pledgers/donors and if they supported the church in its time of special needs! Guess which ones, I really listen to and get involved with? I would like to know which Freepers are regular or monthly supporters!

I will be increasing my monthly donation to FreeRepublic starting in October! That is my monthly tithe to be able to come here and really get the news! I know that many retired and limited income people can't donate on a regular basis, so my "grampa nagging here" is aimed at those who can and don't, and are really socialist freeloaders! Who want a lot for nothing!

Grampa off his soap box!

Thank you, Jim for your wonderful invention! Like all wonderful inventions there is a price tag unless you are a communist or a socialist!

Gosh, you're good at getting up new threads ..... :-)

Nice thread!

Thanks! Both of you!

Four more freepers check in for a total of $270 (posted on bottom of last thread, too)

THANK YOU FREEPERS!

Thank-you FReepers! LUrkers too!

LOL!

I think there should be a maximum of 6 letters per screen name ..... and complicated rules on when and where and how many spaces and underlines one can use and such ...... NOT!!!

But some of these names just do me in ..... if I can't find it to copy and paste or do as a reply, they just don't get an answer from l'il ol' me ..... breaks their hearts, I'm sure ...... :-)

I do it to her all the time, just because it's fun.....LOL!

I will Rember You
(by Sarah McLachlan, Seamus Egan, and Dave Merenda)

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesZ

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Weep not for the memories

I think the next time we have a fundraiser, all we are going to have to do is threaten to turn you and 2ndMCBM and D1 loose on all the threads. : ) : )

Journal Entry: September 18

From these ashes... Luis Gonzalez September 18, 2001

Touch America </a href>

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Thanks to all for such an inspiring day of fundraising to keep Free Republic funded so it's there when we need it.

bttt

Thank you FReepers for your contributions
Love, Palo

LOL!

fixed?

The way they got results, maybe we should send them off to find out the whereabouts of Osama ..... I think they'd have him here and donating to FR within an hour or so ....... and then the President could deal with him ...... heh heh!

Nothing was broke for me ...... on IE.

FReep Osama! That's a thought........

Anyone see the post about Gore getting money from the Airline Companies ... IT IS A MUST READ!!!
