The excitement of the elections is still going strong. With the decisive victory for President Bush and the increased majorities in both the House and Senate and throughout the state governments of the land, we conservatives should look forward to finally being able to achieve some of our goals.
Look for President Bush as commander-in-chief to continue wiping out the scourge of terrorism from the world. Free elections have already taken place in Afghanistan and are about to take place for the first time in history in Iraq! Fifty million people liberated in the middle east! The butcher of Iraq is in chains and about to be tried for his crimes against humanity. Thank you President Bush for a magnificent job of putting down terrorism!! And thank you to our men in women in the armed forces for your dedication to God, duty, and country and for your personal sacrifices for our freedom and security. The nation owes you a great debt of gratitude! May God bless you all and return you safely to your homes and loved ones!
Tax reform is on the radar! We hear more and more each day about the possibility of either overhauling the income tax system or even replacing it altogether! Hurrah! President Bush has a golden opportunity to LIBERATE all Americans from this horrendously unfair and anti-freedom slave tax that has enslaved us all for nearly a century! And in the process, he'll be freeing up the productive capital and resources that will once again make America the envy of the entire world! There is no other country or economic system in the world that can out produce America when we are allowed the freedoms that our forefathers fought and won for us over 200 years ago. It's way past time that we rise up and overturn the ill-conceived income tax imposed upon us by the populists and progressives (socialists) of the last century. We should declare 2005 as the year the battle for freedom from tax slavery begins!
And we can look forward to President Bush appointing conservative judges to the federal courts and the Supreme Court! Thank God we have a conservative president and a Republican majority in the Senate rather the the traitor John Kerry and his gang of liberal obstructionists! Daschle the lead obstructionist is gone! Liberalism defeated! We know that the Democrats will not roll over and play dead, but I doubt the Republicans are going to stand for the all out obstructionism of the last four years. Either the president's nominations get a hearing before the full Senate or we can expect nuclear action! Go Pubbies!!
And Free Republic was in the thick of it again! In addition to the thousands of FReepers campaigning and working hard to get conservative candidates elected, we had some real successes right here on the forum. I think of Buckhead and TankerKC on Howlin's now famous thread calling for an examination of Dan Rather's forged "Texas Air National Guard" memos. Way to go FReepers!! Your sharp eyes and diligent efforts have sent yet another infamous lying socialist MSM propagandist to early retirement! Congratulations!!
And what can we say about the fantastic work of John O'Neill, Jerome Corsi, and the SwiftVets, and our very own Interesting Times!! Way to go guys!! You've restored honor and dignity to the names of countless Vietnam Vets and have exposed John F'n Kerry as the disgraceful fraud and traitor that he actually is. And, in doing so, you've helped save the nation from falling into the despair and shame that it would have under a President Kerry. God bless you and thank you! Welcome home brothers!
And let's not forget our FReeper Ball! Come to DC and join us in celebrating the reelection of President George W. Bush and honoring our men and women in the armed forces and our honored guests. Dance the night away to the rock and roll music of Gov Mike Huckabee and his Capitol Offense band and enjoy dinner and refreshments and the great company of your countrymen and fellow FReepers!
Thank you all very much for your continued support. Your generous donations during these quarterly FReepathons keep Free Republic on the air and makes it the very best conservative site on the Internet!!
God bless you all,
Jim
P.S. Don't forget to offer prayers for the victims and families that have suffered so much after the devastating earthquake and Tsunami waves. I've included links on our homepage to a couple of threads where FReepers have posted URLs and addresses of relief organizations. Please donate if you can.
Put me down for the usual amount. My online banking is apparently down for the New Year's weekend, but I'll see to donating this coming week.
Ok, thank you very much, Ciexyz!
Jim, why is FreeRepublic asking for $66,000 this quarter when your budget shows you only need $52,800. Whats the extra 13,200 for.Sinceyour last Freepathon raised over $17,000 more than needed where is that going? Why are we asked to give so much nowadays, recent Freepathons have been more than successful?
I know.
I also know they can be VERY VERY expensive.
I'm in for 50. It's raining again and I'm not going out today:)
Why is/was the FReeper fleeing and why was he being punished?
(Fleeing from the FReepathon or something?)
Kudos to your family and all the FR staff, also!
Well, we haven't updated the budget yet, but our costs have increased. We contracted for more bandwidth, we have some additional legal expenses to pay, travel expenses are probably going to be up this year, and again, we hope to add a health insurance policy (didn't get it done last year), and we're always struggling to come up with the money to pay taxes. Most of the extra money that is raised each quarter goes for taxes. In fact, I will be adding an additional line item to the budget this year for that purpose.
ROFLMPJO!!!!!!!!!
Thank you FR, I believe my tag line says it all.

I inadvertently put you and Brad's Gramma on this "story" FReepathon thing. It started earlier. Maybe next FReepathon it'll be done and can be posted quicker and closer together.
Thank you RottiBiz!! It's like seeing my name in lights!!
Love it!!!
