To: Jim Robinson
Hey Jim! On that fateful day, God willing, when all the obituaries are finally written to commemorate the Death of the Anti-American Left, you and this little sideline of yours will surely be awarded a good bit of the credit for putting it out of its misery. Who'dathunk ten years ago this site would become such a part of the zeitgeist that it'd attract celebrities & outlaws, establish it's own lexicon & be regularly quoted in the major news outlets? You managed to pull off one heck of an amazing accomplishment here, sir!
Many thanks for firing up this beloved ole' beacon which has helped guide so many of us out of the dark, fetid swamps of liberalism over the years, along with heartfelt apologies for all the headaches we've surely caused you along the way, and with much, much affection for the extraordinary generosity you've shown by giving us all a cherished second home here .
Please give me the honor of accepting my wishes for a very merry 10th birthday & many happy returns to your "baby", Free Republic!
-Leilani
PS) Just think, Jim! Only 6 years to go until FR can start driving itself & you can sleep in if ya feel like it! ;-)

Been reading this site for years... lurked for a couple of years before actually signing up.
I did not realize I was on the ground floor (or near it) at the time!
Congratulations on developing a solid force in the promotion of social, economic, and political conservatism!
To: Jim Robinson
Happy Tenth Anniversary, Jim, and many thanks!
Methinks history will find you among honorable company.

I remember stopping by the site in late 98 and the signing up the first time in early 1999...thanks to Freeper Seeking The Truth...you have carved out quite a niche here Jim/John and one of the most powerful tools for Conservatives on the net....and we are only getting stronger.
Happy 10th Anniversary....keep pounding them out boys!

Congratulations and happy birthday! And they said it wouldn't last...
Ten years is a long time. On this day ten years ago (September 23, 1996): Ross Perot sues the bipartisan commission on presidential debates, saying that keeping him out of the debates would deepen public cynicism and do incalculable damage to his campaign.
On the charts:
If It Makes You Happy-Sheryl Crow
So Much To Say-The Dave Matthews Band
Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand-The Primitive Radio Gods

When the news of the 2nd place Free Republic placing came on TV, I was sitting beside JimRob, and with about 35 other Freepers, in a restaurant in DC. We had gathered after our Support the Troops Rally. What a cheer went up when we read that!
Who would have thought ten years ago - - -!!!

As I've asked you before-----"Did you ever think it would come to this?" From a simple idea, to a world-wide phenom with respect and influence and feared by many, and a place where thousands daily turn to for their news? JimRob's a visionary, but I doubt even he saw all FreeRepublic would become... hats off to him - and many thanks on this Happy 10th Anniversary.
