Down memory's lane. How I found FreeRepublic a long time ago. How did you find FreeRepublic?

FOUND FREE REPUBLIC.... I heard "Peter the Lawyer" (Peter Mulhern who now has the Washington-Weekly) the first time he was on Rush and then when he called the second time, Rush said that the transcript of the first call was on the Free Republic Web Site. It only took a few minutes to find the transcript on the site, but what was even more important, there was a list of discussions about what Peter had said. It was wonderful to know that there are so many other conservatives out there. It is thought provoking to read what these good people think without a liberal filter being applied by the news media. Each weekday morning I listen to Rush and surf the Free Republic. Free Republic and Rush is an awesome combo!

My uncle in Hong Kong told me about Free republic. He said that it was a good way to hear conservative news, he knew I listened to Rush and at the time watched FOX news. This was about a year after 9/11. I lurked for a long time, before I took the plunge and created an account. I got frustrated when I couldn’t respond to other posters when I was a lurker. :) There were so many original freepers who were so smart and informed. Sadly some of those are gone now.
