Fifth, I feel at home. FreeRepublic is a gathering of like-minded individuals. I am proud to be counted one of you.

We are a community.
There are other sites, other boards one can go and express opinions, but there is no other place with the strange assortment of nuts like Free Republic.
I’ll not mention speciific FReepers by name, but think now of those FReepers and the threads they post that make you smile - make you mad - or better yet, make you think.
Think of the prayer threads, the silliness threads, the Canteen threads, and a whole host of other personal threads that touch your heart.
And then there’s Lazamataz. (Oops, I just broke my promise not to mention specific FReepers by name.)
I get a kick out of that cigar smoking spaceman. Bender?
Seriously, Free Republic is my favorite site by far. An immense amount of info, mostly politics but a little bit of everything (guns, not guilty teachers, cars, big Catherine Zeta Jones pics, zots, no ads, Jim Thompson, DUmmie Funnies, prepping, Ha Ha! boy, etc.)
And it just keeps coming. Often, by the time I get to the bottom of the page, there’s an hour of new stuff up at the top.
Just hope JRob gets a tanker of server fuel before election night.
