I don't think I have ever posted a Vanity, but there is a first time for everything.
I just wanted to extend my thanks to Free Republic and all of the FReepers who make this site worth while.
I joined on this date 5 Years Ago, so you could say I have been FReeping 1/5th of my Entire life.
I knew it meant something special that I joined on Constitution Day (and the anniversary of the Battle of Antietam) Never in a Million Years would I have thought I would have enjoyed it they way I do now.
I first Found FR. sometime in 2007 when I was in College doing research on the U.S. Navy's Retention of the Iowa Class Battleships, and I found a FR thread about the subject, I wondered if this was a political site or not.
I soon found my self coming back to catch up on the News and read the Commentary.
Even back 5 years ago sitting here trying to pick my name would I have ever thought I would have learned so much, and shared so much.
It is now 5 years later that I understand what FR really is. It is the Bleeding Edge of News Scoures. When Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck says "Show Prep", they really mean "I (or my staff) were browsing FR's Latest Articles Page".
Take Ubama's latest Action waiving regarding arming terrorist, I am only hearing about it now in other Conservative news circles when FR had it, what? Two Days ago.
That is what Ubama does, when he said "Change" he means it.
Something that is frightening that I realized while reading FR some time ago, was that he has succeeded in Changing us Conservatives as well.
But, perhaps for the better, how many things do you know now that you didn't 5 or 6 years ago? How much have you learned about your own countries history?
Another thing Ubama has changed in my own family is guns, growing up, we weren't gun people, they were thing that were nice to have I guess, but we had no use for them. We didn't shoot, we didn't hunt.
All my dad has was an ancient pump action 22 he acquired back in like, the 80's, that I don't think could have worked if I even knew how.
However now, a new job and expanding family, I have more and know more about them than I ever did growing up.
Now as for the negative change Ubama has brought (and it is legion) Do I believe this change is irreversible or permanent? No, We can and will roll it back, but perhaps not change it back, if you get my drift. It cannot be denied that the regime has changed America like a Stampede changes your front yard. But you will be better prepared for next time.
Either Way, Thank You my FReeper Friends, I would like to thank you all for making this such a wonderful site, Thank You all for sticking with me with Sarah Palin's Ping list, that is a great Honor to be one of the Holders of the Ping list of one the Greats Conservatives of our time on the Best Conservative Site on the Web.
Here is to another 5 Great Years!!!
G-d Bless You All!
...Captain Crunch is in the Navy.
And he doesn't have nearly that many medals.
Cheers!
You should of listened to me and stayed with the Sunshine Band!
In my opinion, the SHTF event will not be a sudden thing.
It will happen, but it’s very unlikely to occur suddenly.
Hyperinflation will be fought by the FED all along the way.
I recognize that there is only so much they can do before market forces take control. But they will do everything in their power to keep this event from happening.
It is more likely we devolve into a police state in order to control the free expression of market forces.
This is where we are now.
Between the NSA, EPA, IRS and Homeland security, nevermind Zerocare, we are in a state run bureaucracy built on fear, uncertainty and self preservation.
Welcome to the Machine.
And I am not kidding here.
“Where have you been? It’s alright we know where you’ve been.
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn’t like school, and you know you’re nobody’s fool,”
“What did you dream? It’s alright we told you what to dream”
“So welcome to the machine.”

Sorry, but to make this sh*t real, some folks need to begin to get it through an emotional conduit that has been already expressed by musicians that they admire.
The conservative messenger is dead.
We are dying, grasping for reason
as indifference rules.
Who is left as the freaks dance in the streets
in the board rooms for so many fools.
Never you mind,,, the meaning of kind..
Right from wrong, just short of treason
hey, F**k you
If you don’t get my invisible hand.
A little oldie joke that may be over the NOOB's head.......
:-)
It’s an Eminence front.
It’s a put on.
won’t you come and join our party, dressed to kill ?

It’s a put on.
Happy 5th Anniversary KC_Lion!
Time goes so fast. Always great to read your pings, very much appreciated!
Very good vanity, it’s easy to see you are one of the Exceptionals that Obama loathes from the golf course and makes Putin squirm in his little red square.
Despite everything, you will always be on top and we are lucky to have you here! :)
Sincerely,
Tom/BF
Nine years young. ;)

Congrats,KC Lion.
You are off to a great start.
I appreciate your contributions here. Gives me hope for your generation that the flame of liberty will not go out.
Fifteen years for me in December, which will be one quarter of my life.
;^)
Congrats on yout Fifth Anniversary on FR!!!
Congratulations and much love! I’m so sorry to be here so late! I plead illness. Sarah Palin’s Awesome Ping List could not survive without you! Trusting you with it was the easiest decision in my FR life! You’re the absolute best. XOXOXOXO
It means more than you know, of all of Sarah's Awesome Supporters to hold her list you choose me. I consider that the greatest Honor.
I pray you get to feeling better soon!
XOXOXO
