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!

State of the Union Address
January 31, 2006

All eyes and ears will be on our President tonight as he delivers his SOTU address.   I always look forward to his speeches and can't keep from laughing at the frowns and scowls on the faces of those on the dark side of the aisle (shown below in 2003).

Of course, when the President ends his speech, the other party gets the rest of the evening to respond.   And then the media gets their turn to tell us what the President said, and how much better the State of the Union would be if the Democrats were in charge.

In short, the leaders of the Democrat party get to attack the President for all the things that have gone wrong since Florida 2000.   Everything that has followed is Bush's fault - from 9-11 to Katrina.   If you don't believe Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer, etal, just ask anyone who shapes the news: if it's bad, it's Bush's fault.


And besides all that, he smirks, and he's cocky, and.... he swaggers!

Have a wonderful Tuesday, and please keep President Bush in your thoughts and prayers as he continues to work towards a stronger and safer America.

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[Billie]

Hi, Nan! Thanks! Glad you like the swagger gif! Got your picture in email, and here it is - love it! :) I hear you about so little time to do/be everything/everywhere! :)

[Billie]

That's great you were close and got to shake his hand the last time. Know you were disappointed you didn't get a picture of it! :(

[Billie]

Thank you, Meg.

I've been out and just got back and not sure I'm getting all my pings answered properly! :)

[LadyX]

Sooooo glad to see my precious Sistah!
My favorite picture of us is the one deadhead created after seeing us feuding talkin' late one night..:))

We do both love those rainbows,
and are blessed to have had more than our share - -

Luvya,
M

[Billie]

I must have been making to much noise.. : )

Always the vocal one! LOL

[Billie]

(speaking of spinners, Billie, always makes me remember that poor kitty spinning on the vinyl record graphic..:))

You know, I'm not even sure I still have that kitty! One of the best animations I ever saved. Do you remember the pidgeon, too? Let me see if I have either or both of them.

Lookieeee! Dang! It's a big one in bytes though! :(

[LadyX]

"I tear my hair out every time I turn it on because there's more new stuff to learn."

[hate to confess it, but that is why I have not dabbled in learning how to create tables/borders. You and Meggsie put me to shame, but - - I shall not weaken
unless I can eradicate some of the current brain cells to make enough room!!!
LOL]

[loveliberty2]

Your wonderful rainbow photos remind us to be grateful today that perhaps Divine Providence has, once again, intervened in the affairs of the nation--as acknowledged by America's Founders and Presidents throughout its 200+-year history!

[Billie]

Have got to go - dinner time, and then almost time for Dubya to shine. Will get back sometime this evening!

[luvie]

Too cute! LOL! Guess who snagged it? :o)

[LadyX]

Wonderful, wonderful photograph, Nannikins!!

(Thank heaven for Billie so you and I can function here today..:)

[LadyX]

That has always made me laugh almost hysterically, and I never tire of seeing it!
Makes me think of our Socks C./Pharmer Phil/Altered Ego 'Daze' during Whitewater in 1998...sigh...

[LadyX]

Watching that spinning kitty brings to mind
the lyrics of That Old Black Magic!

Lyrics:

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's
caught in the tide

- SNIP -

Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

[luvie]

LOL! Very apropos!

[GodBlessUSA]

How exciting! Great life stories shared, as always LadyX :)

[MEG33]

Copy, cut and paste Billie's tables over and over until a light bulb comes on and you start recognizing what goes where and then a bit of playing..I keep it simple. I can't do a lot of what goes on here!

I would not even attempt to post a graphic for years. I finally let this Christmas push me to try a graphic..I had to want to do it enough to try it..I hate to type and I don't enjoy HTML ! I know enough to muddle through now.

[MEG33]

Wow..It is a BIG byter!

[GodBlessUSA]

I'm so jealous. You and LadyX were so close to President Bush. :)

[Kitty Mittens]

What Beautiful Posts, Dear Lady! Awaiting the Arrival of our President with you All. Our Lord Bless him Mightily!

[MEG33]

Amen
