Jump on the Free Republic donations train, freeploadusmaximus.

“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”

[kiryandil]

By contributing at least $30/month (or $360/year) to Free Republic you can be a member of the Free Republic Dollar-A-Day club.

"You can contribute any combination of monthly and/or one-time contributions to reach this goal."

Or you can be like marcus, and not contribute ANYTHING but spam, rooterspimpink and blogpimping to Free Republic!

When I was a kid, we played cowboys and H1B Indians.

It's his new troll, now that The Ukraine is imploding.

The government shutdown is going to stall hitting Indians? Hitting them with what?

What kind of Indians? The Elizabeth Warren kind or the red dot kind?

[kiryandil]

You won’t contribute to the Freep-A-Thon because you don’t want your bosses to see your name on the donations board.

It sure would suck to depend on another country for your livelihood. Perhaps you can petition your own government for some economic boost.

Time for 100% tariff on H1b invader remittances to India.

[Uncle Miltie]

I try hard not to follow the Ukie Rus flame wars, so I never noticed.

I don’t mind the H1b obsession. It’s just humorous to watch … so far.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Oh no...

Anyway.. I went to the local fancy coffee shop today and they drew the cutest cat in the crema on top of my espresso.
