I know I have come to something special when a friend allows me into his home, introduces me to his friends, offers me a seat, and asks that I join in the exciting dialog that they are all sharing about a wide variety of ideas.

I am honored that you would invite us into you private property, and I take it seriously.

Thank you!

I still wish you would run for office and show California what a real governor is supposed to act like.

If you ever find that weasel who held up that horrible "I Love New York Better Without the Towers" sign please give him a few for the rest of us.

If I had never discovered FreeRepublic, I'm quite sure I'd be either a lone but meek voice in my small world of what I used to be, or a raving lunatic hoping someone would understand half the things that ramble through my head most of the time.

The 'pastor' has never sent the 'deacon board' over to my house to ask where my 'tithes' were.

I've never been chastised for uttering $h!t and any apologies I've made for being rude or crude were accepted and I got on with my life.

I ask for prayers and get them.

I'm asked for prayers and I give them.

Is this heaven?

God bless you, JimRob, and the work you've done getting this ship off the ground and in maintaining it's maturity.

Thanks for this post. I've found Free Republic to be not only informative, but also very open to differing viewpoints, so long as they don't violate the posting rules, and even the posting rules are very flexible.

This forum is so good because FR has developed a terrific balance of wide open debate without allowing Dadaists to degrade the forums by posting nonsense and throwing bombs for the express purpose of destroying debate.

I know a lot of the Pat Buchanan followers have left, and are frequently the people most upset with FR later. Unfortunately for Pat, he is now less relevent to American politics than Ralph Nader or the Constitution Party. The election this fall will be between two people, George Bush, and most likely, John Kerry. One of these people will be President. The most pressing issue facing America and the rest of the world is the War on Terror. Kerry will surrender. Bush will fight. That's the truth, and we will either be united on this issue, or we will watch another faker enter the White House. I was born in 1954, and John Kennedy was the best Democrat President since my birth. Lyndon Johnson. Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton. Possibly John Kerry. Compare to Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Bush (41) and George Bush (43). This country cannot afford John Kerry in the White House. He makes Bill Clinton look classy, and Bill Clinton makes Barry Switzer look classy.

Thanks, Jim. For someone I've never met, you've been an awfully good friend over the last five years.

JimRob, as much as I love FR and it feels like my home, I never forget that this is the house that Jim Robinson built. Anytime someone defaces, vandalizes or disrespects this great achievement of yours, I'm happy when you show them to the door. Your post says it all.

Thank you for Free Republic.

Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced.

Well I guess you can kiss off that invitation to Babs Streisand next party.
