Free Republic

Twenty-four years ago today, I “officially” became a FReeper. I had attended the March for Justice on October 31, 1998, and that event convinced me the FRee Republic was the “right” place to “hang out.” Having “lurked” for a few months prior to the March for Justice, I was delighted to meet so many like-minded people, all of whom came to WDC on their own nickel, to exercise their First Amendment Rights and protest the Clinton administration. March for Justice videoIt was the first of many “FReeps” I attended in the WDC area (and elsewhere over the years) before I...

For weeks ahead of the date, folks like me had to decide……. Do I really believe all this stuff we discuss daily on Free Republic? Should I scrounge up some money and set aside the time to travel to Washington DC to be a part of what is being called The March For Justice? The Answer is Yes! There was to be a march with State flags. I bought a Tennessee state flag to wave in the gathering. To my astonishment, as I waved the flag, several Tennesseans in the crowd rallied to the flag and zap…..we had a Tennessee...

25 years ago today, Vince Foster found dead in Fort Mercy Park

Nidal Sakr’s relation to al-Qaeda and likely involvement in murder makes him a serious threat. On April 6th, from a location in Huntington Beach, California, the Chairman of the March for Justice Nidal Sakr tweeted the following against the state of Israel: “So called ‘israeli CANCER’ MUST BE OBLITERATED AND IT WILL BE.” This was not the first threat issued by Sakr against Israel, and it probably will not be the last, but given Sakr’s past relationship to the founders of al-Qaeda and present relationship to the leadership of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, any threat from him needs to be...

Free Republic's first big event occurred on this day in 1998 in response to malfeasance in the Clinton Administration. Happy Anniversary! However, it is 15 years later and apparent that we are circling the drain. That said, it was a great time in D.C. low those many years ago.

I saw a thread earlier today that spoke of their anniversary at FR. It reminded me of our first big Freep. Back in October 1998, JimRob said he was going to Washington and shake his old withered finger at Bill Clinton at the White House fence. In a matter of a few days, we had hundreds of Freepers signing up to join him. I was there and took pictures. Here is a preview...You can see the rest at the link above... We will need to gather together again, this year, to assure that Hillary and her ilk do not gain...

I’d never heard of a triple black dog double dare to infinity before last weekend. I learned about that fearsome fate from my five-year-old grandson, Mackenzie Watson. I understood it immediately because I was once a five-year-old boy. Plus, my family are willing to swear that I still have those tendencies. To make a long story short, that black dog dare got Mackie in trouble at his kindergarten. He explained he never would have given himself a “swirly” except that another student made that dare. In this case, a swirly means to go in the boy’s bathroom, stick your head...

Jim Robinson has asked that one or more Freepers from each of the 50 states attend the March for Justice. Jim says "We need every chapter and every state represented! We need to petition each and every senator. We'd like to have a minimum of two to four people present from each state. We hope to be able to hand deliver our letters and materials to all 100 senators. If you are tired of judicial activism and Democrat obstructionism, please make an effort to be there!" Unfortunately, I cannot get away from work to attend this event, as I know...

<p>Ok, what's it going to take to get you to the point of total disgust with our judiciary?</p> <p>How may bad rulings? How many rulings based on liberal Marxist ideology rather than the constitution? How many based on "International Law?" How many of our rights nullified by an out of control judiciary will it take? How many times will we allow the will of the people to be overruled by the judiciary? How many times will we allow our constitution to be subverted by the Men in Black?</p>

<p>Judicial tyranny must end! The filibuster must be broken! The full Senate must have an up or down vote on the president's judicial nominees! We must not allow the Democrat obstructionists the privilege of controlling the confirmation process!</p> <p>No more liberal activists on the bench!</p> <p>Enough is enough!!</p>

Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law October 31, 1998 Bill Clinton: "The policies and actions of the Saddam Hussein regime continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, as well as to regional peace and security." "The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a...

If you were there, sign in here and let everyone know how much it meant to you and a favorite memory of that historic day in the life of FreeRepublic and the United States of America

I was in Washington DC getting ready for the March for Justice. I think Jolly was giving me her red hat righ now (no, that was a real hat)

Just a note to say that Freeper Lex went to be with Jesus, Her Lord, today, 7-15-02, at 4:30 AM. I posted a prayer thread for her earlier but cannot find it now. Maybe others can. And if anybody who can update the FR Memorial Wall with Lex's name, that would be wonderful She attended the March for Justice with me and other Freeper friend (Naomi) - met Matt Drudge, Jim Robinson, Lucianne, and all those in attendance that day. Lex's real name is Patricia Johnson. She is with Jesus now, whole and pain free, and is, I know, rejoicing...
