Here I am checking in just a little late as usual. 260 posts already. I lurked from 1998 and joined this merry and witty band 4-20-2000. The highlights and battles we've fought as conservatives are too numerous to count, but somehow Travel gate and 500 FBI files seem to stand out to me. I go here for my news and correct and proper news analysis. I am bored beyond reason if and when I watch TV b/c they are reporting and always incorrectly analyzing some item we discussed on FR two days prior. I want to yell, “Catch Up,” at the TV pundits. All subsequent blogs and news comment pages, like Townhall, Daily Caller, Blaze, HP, and, of course, DU are pale comparisons and insipid
imitations of FR. I don't even bother with them much. Why would I when I get it all right here on FR; and I get it first. I also adore and learn so much from my fellow Freepers who are the wisest, wittiest, and wackiest people I know. God bless ‘us.
I gladly support FR so that we don't have to have advertisements. I like to do a sizable contribution once a year and then practice what I like to think as my “free speech” for the rest of the year.
May FR continue forever, or at least til Christ's return. Never forget. WE ARE THE RESISTANCE.

LOL! I remember doing exactly that at TV news people during the Florida recount. My time on the pages of FR had me better briefed, updated, knowledgeable than any of them.
I realized then that they weren't all that bright. In fact, they didn't stack up to most freepers I knew.
