TigersEye, thank you for the encouraging words!That they came from you, I consider them high praise indeed!
I wish for you and your family a happy healthy and prosperous New Year.
You won’t have to eat any crow here.The 2008( that’s what you meant, not 1998) was way too coincidental. Remember when the Bamster and McCain were at the emergency White House meeting, and he left, saying “Cal me if you need me?”. That was the sign that the whole thing was orchestrated for the One’s benefit—he wasn’t worried at all.
Someday we know who all was complicit in that boondoggle.
PT Barnum became wealthy by never underestimating the gullibility of the American audience.
The Founders ha it right—limited Federal government-—the genie has been let out of the bottle for 100 years, and now is resisting any attempt to put it back into the bottle. But that is the challenge of our day.
Finding those who will do so is even harder.
Pandy, you’re the best—thank you! You can be very proud of all you have accomplished in life. You have been a force for good and for freedom. Bless you and yours, and have a happy healthy New Year—you deserve it.
Now will ya close yer dang Italians? Sheesh.
AGreatper—thanks for showing up, friend. I still remember talking with you in front of the White House! Clinton didn’t know who he was dealing with, did he?!!!
Hope you are well in all ways, and I wish you a happy and especially healthy New Year!
Good observation. Glad there are still others who remember FR that way.
M. Kehoe, another emmber of the Class of ‘98!!
Thanks, FRiend, and I wish you and yours a happy and healthy New Year!.
Yes, thanks, 2008. That’s what happens when you get old, decades become like years. I HATE when I do that. <:=)
Thanks, Texas Eagle! How appropo that you feature Psalm 37 on your homepage, in the times of Obama.
May God grant us deliverance in 2012 from the usurper Marxist!!
Happy New Year to you!
bmwcyle, it’s good to see you again—another Class of ‘98!
Belated 13th anniversary congratulations to you, with my hope for a happy and healthy New Year for you and yours!
Billthedrill—thanks for so many laughs over the years! You have humor in a jugular vein as Mad Magazine used to say.
Isn’t it great to see so many oldtimers here—good to know they are still around. We’ll need everyone’s wisdom for 2012.
Close my Italians—heck I AM Italian. Those were the days.A 56K modem then meant you were FLYING!
Hah! I wish for you a happy and healthy New Year—we’ll need you to inject some humor here in it, that’s for sure!
Yeah, I fell for that “banned or suspended” home page from another Freeper. I was dumb enough to page the moderator to ask why so-and-so was banned. And both the Freeper and the moderator played along. Anal cavities. Gotta watch out for that stuff.
I did go down to the "Release the Juanita Broderick tape" in front of NBC studio in NYC where some freepers had a protest there.
Did not know that.
Some of us were with Laura Ingraham and her dog.
Incognito, because she was looking for a job and didn't want to be on film supporting the Freepers.
Have you seen my homepage?
Yours looks like a counterfeit. You have to make it look like the real thing to fool people like me. Heh heh.
I’m in that picture titled ‘Skyward Stream Thy Blue and White...’
Happy New Year exit82!
Woodman, you were here a whole year before me—Class of ‘97!
Very impressive!
Happy New Year to you,FRiend.
