I don’t know if Jim tracks such things but I was lurker back in the 90’s here. Never signed up till in 04 or 05, keeping below the radar. When I found out that Clinton was data mining the internet and onto Bush Jr. I figured they knew anyway, so what the hell.
I have learned more from Free Republic than any other site on the entire web. That is due to the atmosphere that Jim and his crew provide and the wide knowledge on virtually any subject that the posters on FR are savvy about. Thank you all for correcting my grammar and spelling as the help is sorely needed.
The only sore point I have about FR is each quarter Tenn. always gives more money than Kentucky. It is not enough to hand Tenn. their butts in basketball each year we should give more than Tenn. and would if the yuppies in Lexington would kick in their fair share. Yes, I used the dreaded liberal phrase ‘fair share’ as a conservative poster on FR.
Each time Ky kicks the a55 of a SEC opponent in basketball we should pony up a few bucks and some 1%er (another liberal term, I may be a closet liberal) out there in FRland should match it. I can dream can’t I. Let’s save a lot of time and call for the NCAA to go ahead and mail U.K the trophy for ‘15, it’s just about the point spread now.
By the way, there are only 2 things in Tenn. that I admire, one is the Smoky Mountains, the other is Dolly Parton’s chests. They are kinda similar when you think about it.
One other thought, Ky. will never be a power in the SEC in football because we are just smart enough to not take seriously any sport that requires you to hit a running opponent coming from the opposite direction with your head. I notice Tenn. is great at it. I know football causes brain damage, the proof is Lamar Alexander.

Is there a rivalry between Kentucky and Tennessee?
We are going to escape Mexifornia and end up back east. Went on an extended tour of Kentucky last year and it was wonderful. Warm, kind people, beautiful scenery, affordable acreage. I hate to tell you though, we decided to land in Tennessee near the border.
But if you can give me some info on why you prefer Kentucky, I might change our plans. They are fluid at the moment. I really wanted a farm in Amish country. Can’t get those in Tennessee!
ROFLOL!!!
Apparently, the pioneer art of bearbaiting has not been allowed to lose it’s edginess in Kentucky. :>)
