I figure there are a few new computer users that could benefit from this repost....

Don't look at me, I am with JR. Have been and will always be. I disagree with JR's stance on the South but hey, nobody's perfect.

Jim Robinson is one of our heros!!! Thank You Mr. Robinson...your FR site is one of the reasons GWB won re-election. God Bless You and all your family. ;o)

This history of FR, is anything but boring. Many of us had never heard about how FR came into existance or the trials and tribulations during the early days.

Free Republic is a big forum, but not one iota bigger than the man who founded and runs it.

I would reccommend you take a two by four to such critters rather than a cane. Getting a message through a numb skul is no easy task.

Small check is in the mail. God bless.

Thank you for posting this article on the history of FR -- I must confess that even having been on the forum for nearly five years, I had never seen this particular post.

As a "kindred spirit", I can commiserate with Jim and his family re: difficulties in mobility, and commend him for not only dealing with them but excelling in spite of it.

God Bless JR and our Free Republic!

About this time, I was contacted by James Golden

Is this the same "James Golden" who is known to Dittoheads as Bo Snerdley?

Thanks for reposting. I think I have the original bookmarked, but it's nice to have a reminder.

After the corrupt sob was reelected, I became determined that I was gonna do all I could to see him impeached, so I wrote the forum software and launched the Free Republic forum in February 1997. I was the only poster for a few months, but I kept sending my URL to search engines and trolled the news groups by reposting articles from the forum and eventually I picked up a few readers... and eventually some of the readers got the courage to try posting.

This is a truly incredible story. There is a God.

I swear, if there were no FreeRepublic I seriously believe George Bush would not have been elected...... either time!

Posted again?
FreeRepublic has become so much a part of how folks get REAL news, and
so much a part of all our lives. Thank you, Mr. Robinson!

FReeRepublic Rocks!

Interesting!

What sacrifices!

[JulieRNR21]

I joined FR in July 1998 after 6 months of lurking.....and have been a Freeperholic ever since.

There should be 'WARNING; FR is Highly Addictive'......on the registration page.....LOL
However, I have found it to be a 'positive addiction that keeps many of us sane and well informed.

Here's to you, Mr. Robinson!

Thanks for the best place on the WWW....You created a forum for conservatives to gather.....and together....we have all made history!
