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.

I'm having my second cup of coffee.
Weinie's been fed and walked. Is so happy to be home and sleep in a real bed. She has lost a lot of weight and will only eat chicken and rice. Vet said to feed her anything she'll eat; was not eating at the clinic. She came into the kitchen wagging her tail for chicken.
God's in His Heaven; all's right with my world.

This was interesting, imho......Whats the point? October 02, 2002
Excerpt:
The moron, Margaret Warner of PBS News Hour is a good example. During her early October segment about the Torricelli campaign dropout disaster, talking to a fellow named Batz from the Washington Post, and a narrow-faced liberal from some other location, something important didnt come up. Jim Jeffords.
The topic was the possible loss of the senate by the Democrats in the coming election. You should get a copy of the text from that session. If you didn't know how it actually happened, and just went by what these clowns had to say, the Democrats won back the senate in a voting booth!
What actually happened was that Jeffords disenfranchised the voters of Vermont. After marking a ballot for a Republican they discovered that they hadn't. Every voter who selected his name, believing that doing so would help the Republicans keep control of the senate, was cheated. After Jeffords had the win, he changed his party to Independent and gave the Senate to the Democrats. The similarity between that, and what's going on in New Jersey is comparable to genetic cloning.
The ability of liberal journalists to leave out the central question is titanic.
Jean Carnahan (D. Missouri) won her senate seat by defeating the evil John Ashcroft. That's what you're left with after Warner gets through ignoring the facts. The truth is that Ashcroft refused to be so rude as to say anything critical of a recently-widowed woman who had stepped into her dead husbands campaign for the senate. And, after Ashcroft handed her the seat, the first thing the ungrateful bitch did was to vote against his appointment as Attorney General! He gave her the senate, and in return she stabbed him in the back.
When discussing that one, Warner forgot to mention the last part.
Not that liberals can't turn on their own kind. Torricelli (D., New Jersey) didn't quit out of a noble sense of love for his country or his party. Somebody told him to get out or get hammered. Aware from the polls that his campaign was going down the tubes, and their grasp of the senate with it, somebody way up in the party told him to take a walk or face a Democrat committee in the senate, and be ground into hamburger on charges of corruption. Quit or find his pension rejected and any hope of future appointment to office gone, gone, gone.

Glad to hear your dog is going to be ok
Morning ALL looks to be a fine day here in Memphis weather wise. Now if I can get hubby off his duff to use the weed eater on the front yard I just might pronounce the day near perfect. How about some coffee and breakfast?
