FRiends, today marks ten years that I have been on FreeRepublic. I want to say thank you to Jim Robinson for providing this site and for providing a forum for conservatives to bounce ideas off each other and to wax eloquently(or just plain wax ad nauseum)on the political issues of the day.
I want to say thank you to all of you for the insights and knowledge so freely shared here that enhances the understanding of a myriad of subjects every day, and which has helped me to make sense of the events of the last ten years.
Although many in the mainstream media have refused to give FreeRepublic its due, it is beyond question that this site has helped to shape political history in America in the last ten years. Those of us here know the score. I have met some of you over the last ten years, and I know the fine quality of the people on this site.
To any I may offended or been short with in my electronic ramblings, I offer my sincere apologies. To any of you that were enlightened by my posts in the last decade, I have no idea how that happened!
And to all of you, I wish a healthy, prosperous and joy filled New Year in 2009 for you and your loved ones.
I was about 13 1/2
Gosh, could you possibly "sound" more disappointed?! I know, we are due for a really good opus soon--the recent ones just haven't cut it, ya know?
The good news is that I wrote your check a few months ago.
The bad news is, my account was with IndyBank. ;)
And, uhh...I just posted it here so somebody could tell me what it says!Yeah! Dat's it!
These past ten years have been a long, strange trip, haven't they?
CC—happy 5th anniversary to you. Per your tagline, we have the SOBs just where we want them, right?
listem, i’ve been around for over half a century, but only found here shortly, i will say i love the different opinions in things BUT, i have to admit some of the pictures are fabulous, whether it’s wolves or the pic today with Mckinney Ammadidiajerk & the Syrian clown.
some of you guys should be political cartoonist
u guys u great
sometimes i do get a good laugh
Thanks for the welcome to FR. I’ll expect your tenth anniversary is, say, 2018. OK? ;)
Knarf, thanks and Happy New Year.
Yes, you’re a bonafide member of the Class of ‘98.
I hear they’ll have a special re-education camp just for us.
Hi exit! (from another Exit)
And I bet you remember exactly how you felt when you discovered FR!
I know I just did.
Cindy, I’m sure the next decade here will be even better.
We’ll need a March for Justice II before 2013, I suspect.
Happy FReepin’ Anniversary!
Congratulations!
I beat you but not by much (Since Dec 19, 1998)
Congrats on your tenth anniversary as well!
I think we are supposed to be ten years wiser, too.
But let’s not tell anyone, OK?
Jean S.,thanks—another charter member of the Class of ‘98.
“Cindy, I’m sure the next decade here will be even better.”
I agree.
I learned to stand on your principles in the face of opposition, and you did it well, my FRiend.
