My sister told me about Fr. It was a few months before the first G.W. Bush Election and my parents were for ALGORE! UGH!
The garbage that was being spewed at us was terrible.
WE needed a place to go for good information and I lurked for many years after that. (As you can see by my date.)
Free Republic has truly been a God sent place for me.
Having links for proof is the best thing along side all the smart people (Rathergate) Which has changed news for me.
Thanks Free Republic!

Thankee kindly Kathy.

In ‘02 I was surfing several conservative websites trying to find folks of like mind and clicked on FR because the name intrigued me, what a great site.

I haven’t posted anything because I quickly learned that I would be a Johnny-come-lately and get flamed for reposting something; I don’t think many sleep on this forum, it’s 24/7!

I’m working on another cartoon but y’all probably wouldn’t take to it as well...either...LOL!! That one just came together like no other I’ve done.

This is where I get all the news with few exceptions. No other site has the format this one does where news is easily accessed and sourced. Outstanding, thanks JIM!! You saved my sanity, all of you have...

It certainly was a BBS. And 56K was purty durn tootin' fast, too! I only lurked in '97 and so can't really claim to be one of the old old-timers.

Ah, how well I remember the trepidation with which I first hit that Post button. FR was rough in those days. Not like now. ;-)

Wasn't this a Bulletin Board site before it was a web site? I seem to recall dialing in in the early days. Or was that somewhere else I am thinking of?

Maybe you were thinking of Prodigy? This per JimRob, "...(beginning sometime in '93 or '94) I had been following our new President's crimes and corruption spree by reading and posting to Prodigy's Whitewater bulletin board at night and on weekends. In September of 1996, I created the Free Republic website..."

Welcome to the Canteen, Majie...boy, you didn’t waste any time. I know when I first read FR, I was hooked too.

Glad you got to keep your start date, but it’s funny how all your posts change “names” too.

I walked out of the test feeling like an elephant was off my shoulders.

I’ve been cracking the books about 2 hrs a day before work and 5-8 hrs on my days off for 6 months.

I don’t know what to do with my free time now.

The first draft of the conclusion has been submitted and defense is likely to be next month.

Thanks!
Nope...no time wasted!
:)
& Yeah,I wasn’t expecting that either...I thought it would just start from my name change request date...But it must be that one can’t keep orig start date w/o doing it like that...Just guessing,as to why.

But tis no big deal...Good thing I wanted a name change ‘cause I suuuuuuuuure got it!
Alllllll the way back to my start date,LOL!
:)

That was me, too! I was fascinated that someone on a “blog”
brought that egomaniac down! LOL!

Maybe you should have been lookin’ at text books instead of Playgirl magazines!
