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!

Today I would love for* you* to do the thread. It's history lesson time and you're the teacher. Below are two links, which include information about our presidents - from George Washington to George W. Bush. Please choose one and write something about him. Dress up your post with tables, photos, or fancy text - you decide! :)
Presidents of the United States
Presidential Quotes
THIS one is still my favorite President!

Sweet!
To: JustAmy
That is sooo sweet! ;o)
To: Billie
How sweet is this thread Ms. BIllie.. the letters matching the table background! wowsie!
Nice job.
I will leave history & politics to those of you with the knowledge.. my contribution will be movies - my area of interest & expertise re: presidents..(surprise, surprise)... true or fiction ( most fiction but fun). Here is a listing of some of my favorites that some way feature in drama or parody the presidents.
Dave - funny
An American President - romantic
Mars Attacks
Air Force One - drama
Amistad
The crossing
1776
Rough Riders
The Day Lincoln Was Shot
Wind and the Lion (26th pres).. Sean Connery & all star cast
Wilson
thirteen Days
Truman
Nixon
The Day Reagan was Shot
I am sure there are more.. these are the ones I think of that I enjoyed over the years. NOTE: Mars Attacks is a Special Effects/Sci Fi with a president (wife believed to be a Nancy Reagan & your guess is as good as mine for who the pres is)

Good Trivia question as no one remembers this guy. Who was the fourteenth president of the United States? Franklin Pierce YIKES! I sure didn't remember that name. Was there *anything* memorable about him? You're doing such a fantastic job, I'll leave the answers up to you! :)

Thanks, Lori! Reagan was so many people's very favorite of all time. I'm still partial to Dubya, but loved Reagan, too.

Hi Billie Wonderful thread :)
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. President Ronald Reagan

Thank you, Dolly! I like your movies about presidents, too! I suppose we *could* mention the TV dramas about presidents, but no thanks.
Anyone watching Prison Break? Man, that vice president reminds me so much of hillary it's scary. *She*'s scary!

March 1801...Thomas Jefferson comments on the media spreading discontent
He believed in the character of his countrymen and he had faith with a just and steady conduct employed..they would rally to a proper system of government..

wouldn't you love to see Jefferson, Washington etc. w/o white wigs & in contemporary clothes/hair ... wonder what they would look like.
A job for Billie & photo shop!!!!!
Need to rest. Been a rough day. The hour here at computer has been fun but a true giddy pleasure that is a steal from hectic Junk in life now. Leaving in hour for evening. Went to Cav's game last night. A real treat (and we won!)
Later all...
