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

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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Bush - Cheney 04

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

This is another favorite:

"Our nation will prosper or decline in direct proportion to our selection of leaders who are guided by the Holy Spirit. If we fail to select Godly leaders our destiny will surely be as that of the Roman Empire."

"We are not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states, run by the strangest collection of misfits, looney tunes, and squalid criminals since the advent of the Third Reich."

Ronald Reagan
(speaking after terrorist attacks by Shi'ite Muslims, July 1985)

========================================

We would do well to thrust this message in front of the liberals daily.
Obviously President Bush is a believer, and will follow through no matter what it takes.

[The Mayor]

Is it power?

YES!

They will sacrifice American lives to regain it.

[Pippin]

I believe that!

[Pippin]

((((LADYX))))!

[Darksheare]

HJello.
Been out and about as is usual for me.

[LadyX]

I have always admired you for starting as a liberal, and how you eventually examined things and drew *logical conclusions.*

As you know all too well, nearly all liberals are totally blind to *looking at things for themselves* - follow slavishly whatever the rallying cries of their leaders happen to be - swallow their principles with gusto - and stringently echo the vilification of their opponents.

Most of my husband's family (from Ohio) now live in Florida (my original home), and we have no desire to be anywhere near them, or attend another family reunion.
At the last one in 1997, they at the restaurant smugly flung loudly direct and very nasty barbs at us and another brother and his wife who also are conservative, patriotic Americans.

'The Group' professes to be staunch Catholics, and we asked if they believed abortion and 'philandering' were right - it did not daunt them one bit, coming back by deliberately raving about JFK and how wonderful he was, and Bill Clinton!!
--- Pure Unadulterated Party Line Puke.

Since we were having the reunion because of the first death among the eight siblings, we did not respond as we might otherwise.
They are far beyond changing of their absolutely rigid beliefs, and employ Open Attacks with mad zeal.

Just glad my husband LONG AGO "saw the light."

(On the other hand, my sister and I happily have several wildly colored "voting socks" for every Election, and pull "R" with absolute delight -- ever notice that most Republicans are 'happy' folks, and dems are usually scowling and bitter?? ..:))

[Pippin]

I notice that every day, on the bus and the train and at work and in other places here in "libland"

[Pippin]

now I'm Jello? LOL!

[Darksheare]

Yes, that is quite aturn around.
Very few make that turn around from liberal to conservative.

[Pippin]

It show's it can be done! :O)

[Darksheare]

LOL!
No, I just can't type to save my life.
(You should have seen this before I proofread it..)
"I just can't tyupe to save my luife"

[Pippin]

YEW MEEN LIK THIS?

[The Mayor]

OK, I am about to make an admission to God and the world..

I was raised a demonrat, listened to my step father to much.
He said that if Nixon got elected we would move out of the country.
well, we never did. The majority of my family is still demon rat.

I have I think saved my lil sis and my brother 1 year younger than me.

I woke up and saw the light when I stopped drinking.
Stopped listening to music and tuned in Rush Limbaugh.
In one movement I went from registered demonrat to registered Conservative in New York..
from far left to extreme Right!

It is amazing what God will do to the willing mind.
I have become a stronger Christian and a proud member of the Religious Right!

I come from a family of 10 kids, 9 alive and kickin.
I would say that only 4 of us will vote for President Bush.
I refuse to give up on the rest of them....

[dixie sass]

Yep, I sure do Maggie, everytime I work at the polls.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Pretty much!

[dixie sass]

Oh I love it, that is the cutest whatever. Kitty is having a blast!

[Pippin]

And I refuse to give up on my family either, even if they are demon rats!

[dixie sass]

Amen to that - both of you.

[Pippin]

HEE! HEE! HEE!

[Darksheare]

Interesting.
Early in my cjhildhood, dad was registered as Republican, and IIRC mom was registered as a Dem.
But Carter was elected and that changed...
Both are now Republican.
