Excellent article about Jim Robinson - Showdown: The left vs. the Web

"I had not been all that politically active prior to President Clinton's election," Robinson recalls. "Yes, I complained about government and politics just like everyone else … but politics was not particularly high on my list of priorities – until Slick came along."

Robinson saw that the Clintons had brought a new and dangerous level of corruption to American politics. He could no longer remain aloof. "I knew that the newspapers and news media were lying and I knew that government had been encroaching on our individual rights and that our politicians were as corrupt as the day is long. I also knew that nothing would be done about it unless we the people somehow joined together to exercise our political free-speech rights."

After reading an article like this I have great hope for our Republic. As long as people like JR around to inspire and encourage us to fight for what is right our freedoms are secure.

Who was that little weasel that testified to the Senate in the Impeachment trial that he was not shopping around the 'Monica as stalker' story? And the British journalist got up and had a notorized statement that they both had been approached to print the 'stalker' stories. And (although we always hear how serious it is for a witness to lie) NOTHING happened to him. NOTHING! All the Clintonistas were above the law.

With Hillary most likely running for president in 2008, it would seem only prudent to ready ourselves for the worst. Knowing the past is the key to the future

This story can be the undoing of the witch. It's critical that average people see what the Clintons are all about.

FR has been a Godsend and a cyber home to me for longer than I'd care to remember. But we'd better not get complacent. The Clinton machine is well entrenched in the media and it hasn't gone anywhere. New FReepers may wonder at the intensity and coordination of this truly phantasmagorical attack on Karl Rove - that's what it was like for eight long years under the Clintons. They create their own reality and make the country believe it by sheer shrillness and dint of repetition.

This IS going to recur in 2008. The Rove thing is a tuneup and a dry run. If these entrenched media are not countered by the power of the internet they will happily remount the throne, and they're doing their best to make that happen. We have to organize and we have to do more than sit behind a keyboard and fulminate. We have to use this marvelous tool as it was intended, in the defense of the Constitution and to combat government and media corruption.

Jim, a personal thank-you for placing this sumptuous banquet before us all, and God bless.

funny how many times you hear that. The same is true for me.
