Free Republic

FReeper jehardy has passed away. Just a note to let you know that we've lost another member. Judy was a friend of mine for the past 12 years and a former co-worker. She did not post a great deal, but always appreciated being part of this community, to which I introduced her back around 2006. Judy was a warm and funny person, with a ready smile and a great laugh. Like her husband Herb, she was a true patriot and defender of the Constitution, notably the 2nd Amendment, which led us to share and compare our firearms purchases and also...

OK, I admit it. I love snark. I love a well-crafted one, and I love to try my hand at it. Perhaps too often, I will concede. You definitely don't want to be considered "too snarky". But I can't help it. It's just too much fun. When I see a headline that is just screaming out for snark, I jump on the thread, and all too often see that another Freeper has beaten me to my snark. Did you know that the plural of snark is snark. As in "I posted 5 snark today". Honestly. While I play at snark,...

I heard Rush mention Free Republic Freepers on his show today. I am not a Rush Subscriber so I cannot post link.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here is Bill in Gainesville, Florida.  Bill, I'm glad you waited.  It's great to have you on the program today, sir.  Hello. CALLER:  Hey, Rush, I'm honored.  I think this is a great segue, I hope.  I'm grateful for Mr. O'Keefe.  I'm 53 years old and single. I'm self-employed. I've got a big footprint. I've got six kids that I've raised here in Gainesville, Florida, and the only ability that I feel like I have is my vote, and I wanted to ask you about the birth of the Tea Party. RUSH:  Yeah? CALLER:  I think it...

I was going through some old files on my hard drive, when I discovered a series of threads I preserved from the 1999-2000 timeframe. I started reading through them and I was amazed at the number of people who had been on here, who I lost track of, or no longer see on the forum. I know, some of them are dead, some of them banned, some of them moved on... some of them even changed name! But I would love if any or all of you checked in, informing me of your status. I'm especially interested in hearing from...

I am taking part in tonight's townhall with more than 2 dozens other (Black) Conservatives which will be hosted by Foxnews's Sean Hannity. The townhall, which was the brainchild of Deneen Borelli brought together (Black) Conservatives from all walks of life and is meant to show the American public that our community is not monolithic as many Americans have been lead to think and that there are Conservatives within the Black Community despite what the Liberal Left tells Americans. The following is a list of those Conservatives who took part in this first townhall: DR. BEN CARSON, BISHOP COUNCIL NEDD...

THE HISTORY OF LENT.. For our traditional Italian Roman Catholic family, Lent is a very special time of prayer, penance, sacrifice and good works in preparation of the celebration of Easter.. I have searched the internet researching the various ways that this wonderfully religious season is celebrated from it's earliest biblical beginnings.. Since the earliest times of the Church, there is evidence of some kind of Lenten preparation for Easter. It starts with Ash Wednesday, when Catholics had their foreheads marked with ash crosses, a symbol of penance signaling the start of Lent. During the 40 days leading up to...

Lost Freepers: What ever happened to FReepers such as... NativeNewYorker

All Freepers, Took this photo this Saturday AM on Hiway 67 on the way to Cripple Creek, Colorado. Looks like someone in Southern Colorado is tired of the juvenile antics of the left. Thought you would enjoy. X1stCav

Come everyone. Just a few bucks to finish off Q4 before the traffic gets too heavy. Let's get this done so we can concentrate on the future. If you feel guilty because you haven't donated before, just jump in. The water is fine and it makes you feel good. Do it.

We lost another FReeper last week - Waco. His sister GrannyK wanted to post about it. He was very active on FR until May of this year when he entered the hospital. He was an Air Force veteran (74 yrs young) & very conservative.

Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama came out in 1995 and has sold over a million copies, but to rightbloggers it is a constantly fresh source of discovery. SNIP "I don't believe Obama had many girlfriends. Personally, I always pegged him to be gay," said Support Your Local Gunfighter. "Obama admits to writing fiction... The only real question here is if, by 'multiple,' he meant 'imaginary,' or if by 'girlfriends,' he actually meant 'boyfriends,'" said Vox Day. "Composite sketch expert renders Obama's 'girlfriend,'" wrote I Own The World, offering a drawing of a guy with a "Ramrod Club" tattoo...

We are the Free Republic Pre-War on Terror Class of Freepers. Having been a freeper for over a decade, and having experienced both a pre 9/11 presence here and a post 9/11 presence, having experienced the Hanging Chad Wars of GW's first election, Sore Loserman and all, what stands out for you regarding the growth of Free Republic over the years. What are your thoughts on the independence of Free Republic, and Jim Robinson's decision to go advertisement free all these years. My first thought is that his financial independence is what has freed him to tell the GOP-E to...

A dozen conservative activists interacted with dinner attendees including Woody Harrelson and Chris Matthews. As the nation’s elite journalists arrived at the Washington Hilton to hobnob with President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, many were met by a small group of protesters shouting "don't believe the liberal press" and holding signs adorned with photos of deceased conservative activist Andrew Breitbart. A few notable attendees politely mixed it up a bit with the protesters, who also shouted accusations of hypocrisy at the well-dressed journalists and Hollywood celebrities. Protester Kevin Martin asked MSNBC host Chris Matthews why he wasn't driven...

During the Clinton era, this site was a major thorn in the Clinton's butt. We were taking out full page ads during the early days of impeachment. We did stuff to combat what we were seeing. In hindsight the Clinton's weren't that bad, in comparison. Should we be doing more?
