Hey everyone -

This seems like a good time to finally introduce myself. I've been a lurker since I discovered Free Republic, around the time of the Clinton mess - and I've been hooked ever since. It's the first site I look at in the morning and the last one I check at night - just to see if I'm missing anything. I've never bothered to post because someone always says something I would have said anyway, so I've been content to lurk. Still, I feel like part of the FR family so here I am.

Thanks to everyone - I love the sarcastic humor, the great information, even the stupid spats that spring up from time to time. May this year bring us the happy sight of the rats who leaked to the NY Times being frog-marched in handcuffs to prison where they belong and a grand scandal that will ruin Hildebeast's chances once and for all.

My New Year's resolution is to jump in and post this year - I guess my 2 cents is as good as anyone else's! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

Welcome to posting rather than lurking. Look forward to your posts in 2006.

If you want a non combative thread(s) where we follow the daily events of the President please drop into the dose.

If you enjoy poetry and reflection meditation and prayers and support for the military please look into the finest. Both of these threads are linked from FR home page.

Here are the links to the current ones

Both have ping lists so if they are to your taste please ask to be added.

Happy New Year
