The real old timers REMEMBER when they first found themselves watching the scrolling comments waiting for something to hop on.
I hadn't noticed JR's sign on date ~ I always assumed the guy who runs the system can go into the record and put any date he wants in there ~ like AD 3 or something.
I sure would.
I learned about FreeRepublic while listening to Rush Limbaugh during the whole Lewinsky scandal. Lurked for a long time, because I was a little intimidated when reading some of the debates here.
The level of debate since 2000 has dropped a good bit, but the amount of information posted here is extremely high quality.
Better than any of the networks, newspapers or other news outlets.
It's everything conservative, all rolled up in a sweet little web site! Everything I need to win debates against liberals!
