A Decade in Freeperdom
self | 12-30-08 | exit82

Posted on 12/30/2008 7:24:06 PM PST by exit82

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.

Yeah, I’m not a profile type person.

But hey, from your page it looks like Airborne guys get all the chicks! Good job!

Thnaks for your service, and congrats on being a wheelchair athlete. Happy New Year to you.

Thanks, but speaking only for myself, it’s only in the movies that the guy in the wheelchair gets the chicks.

I hope you and yours have a safe and happy new year.

May 2009 be a better year for us all!

Is this your fulltime job? ;)

Pretty much. I'm a crippled man with a cable internet and an opinion.

You're welcome noobie. I had another name here before I was Ditter, my own name, but I guess that date is lost in the sands of time (as they say on the History channel).

After I wrote you about our exclusive decade club, I started thinking about things...how much has changed in my life and in the world. And then I got to thinking that I will be 50 years old this next year and this is the only thing (Besides being married), I've done consistently for 10 years.

And to Jim..we sure have had our ups and down, haven't we??? LOL! But this site is my innocent addiction, and I plan on being around here for as long as you'll have me. I'm going to go donate some money in honor of exit 82's anniversary!!!!

Well, you made it to alpha freeperhood with that fact check you did on the whiny family that couldn’t “afford” health care. I have been here even longer and have yet to make it into alpha freeperhood. I imagine your 15 minutes of fame was some fun times indeed.

Here’s something I don’t understand: FR used to be teeming with conspiracy theorists, some crazy stuff. Now allofasudden, when there’s an issue with 5 concurrent cases before the SCOTUS, there are FReepers who think the CertifiGate thing makes us “look bad”. WTF?

Hi Hildy! Yes, we are part of a great group that came to be, in ‘98. Thanks for the donation to FR on this occasion, that is very thoughtful of you.
