A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.

There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!

If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.

Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.

Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

Never seen this pic of Daschle before, when did he do this. So saddened, he does not know his left from his right.

[The Mayor]

I found it here on google. It says it's a fake, I don't know about that..

[Pippin]

BRILLIANT MOVE!

[MeekOneGOP]

A brilliant move ! Pre-emtive Turnover. Surprised the Terrorists planning terror
on June 30th. The Coalition/New Iraq Govt. just trumped the Terrorists !

[MeekOneGOP]

Everyone please take the poll in #11 !

[MeekOneGOP]

I saw that little exchange between Bush/Rumsfeld/Blair. What a moment ! :^D

[Pippin]

Good Morning everybody!

I was gonna go into a rant today about foreigners who think they have some say over our election results.

BUT!

The action this morning in Iraq changed that! God IS GREAT!

This was a BRILLIANT MOVE!

[MeekOneGOP]

now we know how you voted!

haha ! Yeah ! :^D

[Pippin]

I Voted!

[MeekOneGOP]

What do you think of the surprise move of accelerating the Iraq handover date by two days?

Excellent move
418 votes - 86%

No big deal
42 votes - 8%

Will be disastrous
5 votes - 1%

No opinion
9 votes - 1%

Pass
12 votes - 2%

486 votes total; you voted "Excellent move"

[MeekOneGOP]

Yay ! Thanks. :^)

[The Mayor]

Saddam will be charged by the Iraqi tribunal with atrocities, including the deaths of some 300,000 people. Coalition will retain physical custody.

[The Mayor]

GOD IS GREAT!


Amen Pippin!

[Pippin]

You think we should change thier nicknames to :Slick Paul, Slick Alawi and "Slick George?

And take it away from Clinton?

[Pippin]

DELICIOUS!

[MeekOneGOP]

Good deal ! And that one The Mayor posted of Bush/Blair shaking hands in Turkey is a keeper !

[The Mayor]

Occupation Ends; Iraqis Take Charge of Country's Fate (DoD)

[The Mayor]

Howlin posted them, I just borrowed them.. : )

[MeekOneGOP]

Nah ! Let's not change it Slick. They just outwitted the dimwit Terrorists, that blow
themselves up.

This just took the wind out their sails. There'll be terrorism for a bit, but it won't stop
Iraq from the beginning the governing of themselves. Yay !

[The Mayor]

Early Iraq Handover Surprises Rebels and Reporters

Hehehe...that Bush, whom they believe is an idiot of some type if you listen to the liberals...or evil incarnate if you listen to the Jihadists...sure seems to outfox them pretty often.

The fact is...in 14 months we invaded Iraq, defeated the army, held the jihadists at bay and have now handed over soveriegnty as a part of a defined plan that will lead to a Republic there. In the process we liberated millions, created a fly-trap for the terrorists where they are dying by the hundreds and the thousands, and have placed our military in a strategic position on both sides of Iran and next door to Syria (both abject sponsors of terrorism) so we can take them out at will if the need arises.

I'd say that all adds up to some real, tangible successes in this war...irrespective of the howling of the liberal media or the lamentations of their benefactors, our enemy.

Thanks Jeff for that analysis!!
