20 Years a FReeper
Self | 12/21/2021 | Cyclotic

Posted on 12/21/2021 6:33:15 AM PST by cyclotic

20 years ago today after months of lurking, I joined the hallowed ranks of free patriotic Americans.

Free Republic has been since then a daily part of my ritual. I've enjoyed the camaraderie, the fun, the sarcasm and even the arguments. Thanks for being the friends I'll never meet.

Along the way, I've met a handful of Freepers and had the opportunity to shake Jim's hand.

The absolutely amazing thing about our community is that for nearly every story, major and minor, someone in our community has a personal stake, sometimes as a true subject matter expert, sometimes as a witness or has a personal stake in the event.

I will confess that I tend to break FReeper rules often. For instance, I usually will read the article before commenting.

One rule I did not break today was in making a donation to Free Republic in exchange for posting a vanity.

May God bless you and our country. Remember that Jesus Christ is the reason we celebrate Christmas. Wise men still seek him.

LOL, I joined in 2009. You can always tell when I get banned from another site because I start posting a lot on here. I have even donated. I wish I could donate more because I get so much more info here than other places on the interweb. I have regularly checked this site every morning for years and years, whether I post or not.

In the words of Barney Rubble:

"Happy anni versary,
Happy anni versary,
Happy anni versary,
HA ppy anniversary!"

Man, how the issues we were discussing back then pale in comparison to what we've got going on now.

I came in during the attempted election theft of 2000 - politics was still fun back then.

You’ve got me beat. I started lurking in the late 90’s but did not set up an account until 2000.
