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.
Glad to be in your company, 2 Kool! Happy New Year.
So this is your rhyme of the ancient, Mariner? ;)
Happy New Year to you!
Cut-n-paste only has one click.
10 years and you still haven't done anything with your profile page??
Well, happy aniversary anyhow!
Now get to work! I'll expect something by this time next decade!
My best wishes on another healthy and happy decade of Freeping!
Did you change your FReeper name? I don’t remember you from back then. I changed mine...
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.
Congats from another member of the exclusive Decade Club!
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!
Another Class of ‘98 Alumni.
Since your day falls at the end of the year, You are in charge of organizing and hosting the reunion.
Glad to be in such great company.
God bless and FRappy New Year !
Nope, been IC forever. Fun times back then.
You’re a good guy in my book- for whatever that’s worth.
Happy FReepiversary!
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!!!!
Happy Aniversary! Did the Helen Thomas Stripper-gram I bought for you show up?
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?
Snow bunny is not to be forgotten.
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.
