A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-24-02

A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues;  salute
and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new
word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.  I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.





A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

“Mugged” in New York!

by dansangel

A whirlwind of activity most appropriately describes a FReeper by the name of n.y.muggs. A member of Free Republic since November 29, 1998, he is an energetic and politically active person who aspires to a position in local N.Y. politics.



n.y. muggs

Top: n.y.muggs manning his own campaign. Bottom: Mrs.muggs,
his biggest and most loyal supporter!


When he’s not hot on his own campaign trail, n.y.muggs is actively participating in the elections of others. And, when he’s not out stumping for his favorite candidates, he’s organizing and participating in FReeps. Talk about burning the candle at both ends!
A n.y.muggs FReep is more like a good ole’ N.Y. mugging! No holds barred, pull out the stops… if you’re the object of a n.y.muggs Freep, you’re gonna be hurtin’ for certain! Just ask a certain “Junior Senator” from the great state of New York:


“Go Home Hillary” Freep. n.y.muggs is on the right. Wait…isn’t that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the center?


Along with Freeping dreaded politicians, n.y.muggs finds time to rub shoulders with admired politicians, as well:

Top: n.y.muggs shakes hands with GA. Congressman Bob Barr in Washington DC. Bottom: n.y.muggs “mugging” for the camera with Alan Keyes.

There’s a glamorous edge to the world of politics. n.y.muggs and his lovely wife Paula take time to attend a reception on Election Night 2000:

Being “One of FR’s Finest” may require some hard work, dedication and an occasional night on the town. One of the best perks, however, is that there is always the opportunity to express oneself:

Left: A solo Freep in D.C. Right: Senator Schumer, Hillary’s partner in crime in NY, fumes as a certain FReeper receives more press coverage than he!




It is with great pride that we present n.y.muggs - definitely “One of FR’s Finest!” The only people who need to worry about being mugged by this FReeper are those public figures who insist on hanging out on the wrong side of the ticket. ~dansangel~

Oh, I am thankful for Dubya - every day. And I am thankful we don't have to look and listen to that other clown every time we turn on the TV or pick up the newspaper like we did for the longest eight years I can remember. :)
