Free Republic Tenth Anniversary Plans (Vanity)
Me ^ | 06-18-06 | WestVirginiaRebel

Posted on 06/18/2006 2:36:47 PM PDT by WestVirginiaRebel

The tenth anniversary of Free Republic is coming up (this November!) As a result, I would like to see some sort of a get-together take place, in either San Diego, Arizona, Texas or Florida (or some other venue in a Freeper-friendly part of the country). What I would really like to see is someone, perhaps a well-known or wealthy lurker, help organize a Freeper Convention that would include banners, flags, Freeper stuff for sale at booths, a Freeper "museum" with displays centering on famous Freeper moments (threads, Freeper Actions, well-known and infamous Freepers, and Freeper lore, etc). Also, I'd like to see a well-known guest speaker emcee the event (Rush Limbaugh? Ann Coulter?) For entertainment, I'd like to see Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Cosby or some other well-known, preferably conservative (or at least not rabid left-wing) entertainers. Any plans afoot for something like this? It would be a blast and we could all get to meet each other in person (travel arrangements could be made for Freepers in other countries).

San Diego, home of Camp Pendleton (1st & 5th Marine Divs.)
Marine Corps Recute Depot, Marimar Marine Air Base,
North Island Naval Air Station, Naval Station, San Diego-home of a major part of the Pacific Fleet, Naval Amphibious Base, San Diego Naval Hospital & Medical Center,
etc, etc, etc,
With the tens of thousands of military here, you don't get much more RED.

It should be in Orlando. It's where Bush kicked off his 04 campaign because it's the swing part of the biggest swing state.

Ok, Ill bite...




OK------ Here is an example of its use: When the conversations turn to conservative supported issues getting a lot of attention, nobody mentions it, but they are sure aware of the "800 pound gorilla in the room" (FreeRepublic). It's a kind of version of the emperor's new clothes...everyone sees the emperor is not wearing anything but they do not dare say it.

In other words the pundits usually get their talking points and their inspiration or motivation for a topic based on what they have been reading in FR the previous 24 hours. But...they will not mention Free Republic specifically by name. Several reasons for that.

I also came on during the election recounts. What great times.

Maybe we can ask Mark Warner if he wants to throw a $100,000 party like he did for Daily Kos last weekend. We can lie to him, and tell him that we are sick of the "NeoCons" and that we are listening to all "moderates" like him.

I think a mid-country location would be best logistically for most folks.
(However unless it's in the southeast, it'll be out of my budget.)

I've never been there but I understand it's a fun place. The Ripley's Belive it or Not Odditorium is there. Also we could visit the Kennedy Space Center.

I like the idea of a lot of local chapter events - some nerd (like me) can prolly work out a vid cam for each site so we could FReep the various events - I've got kids with school, lessons, work, etc. that makes it tough to go across the country ... just in case anyone is listening ... ;-)

I would like to see an FR "Oldies sign in" thread where all the old 1999 FReepers would chime in and say hello (even if they stopped posting and just lurk nowdays).

Just my two cents..

Ummm, meant to say 1999 and older FReepers chimed in on a thread.
