Great post, and I do hope people stop at the source and donate also.
I found FR when Rush challenged us to find the Charelton Heston speech on the internet. It was here, of course. Haven't left since.

I don't remember before FR.

FR is my sanctuary from my ultraliberal tree hugging commie college.
It's a good thing they don't read what I post about them here :D

I USED to put in a full day's work at the office.
I USED to get studying done in the evening.

This is really bad. As I was logging onto the net just now I was thinking that I had no longer surfed the net. I only went to FreeRepublic and read articles.
I log on tonight and the second post is this one.
I spend about two hours each day in the evening ar FreeRepublic. But now it is getting worse. I login in the morning before work (I make myself get up earlier.) Then a short time ago I started logging on at work. Breaks, lunch, and even during work time
Thank God that I'm the president of this company or I would be in serious trouble.

I wish I had never seen a computer that way I wouldn't be addicted to FreeRepublic.
Many times I have Logged Off FreeRepublic and said I would never again get involved in Posting or Replys but so far success has eluded me.
I will just have to go cold turkey, can't afford rehab.

I had an experience close to yours. During the election fiasco I was watching Fox News reporting the protests in Florida. The protesters were democrats with their "Count the Votes" signs. I was horrified at what I was seeing when through that crowd came a tall young man with a sign that said Newsmax.com. He looked horrified too, so I knew that what he was offering would be good. I went to my computer and typed in Newsmax and saw the truth being reported again. They had a link to Loudcitizen.com which had an article there that mentioned Freerepublic.com and I felt like I had found a home. A sane place where people loved the truth and their country.

Before I found FR, I walked around talking to myself about the state the world is in. Most moms want to talk diapers or housecleaning(yuck, yuck, yuck). Since I've discovered FR(I think it was through worldnet.com??) I'm a fairly well-balanced person. (Balanced in my computer chair)When my two year old is occupied, I am here...but my poor husband......

It's really messed up my sleep schedual and has give me a one day jump on the newspapers. It has also given me lots of facts to win debates (arguments) with liberals, they have no answers for the truth so must resort to anger and screaming baldfaced lies.

You guys have kept me laughing ever since I read the first
"Caption This" on Free Republic. I was hooked, and now I'm totally addicted to Free Republic. It is my favorite source for news and a place where I know I can find other people who share the same views that I do. You guys are the greatest. A big
THANK YOU JIM ROBINSON for starting Free Republic.
God Bless you all and God Bless America!!

Although I do spend a couple (several?) hours a day on FR, I don't really think I'm all that much less productive otherwise. I still get chores done (mowed the lawn last month, shaved last week, etc.).

Great story. I had been lurking here since 1999, and then signed on and donated during the election. My life hasn't been the same either.....the first thing I do when I get up, coffee, turn on computer, and read FR. Plus check in all hours of the day and night.
To: TLBSHOW
You should have been in the IRC chat with a mess of Freepers, during and following the election. I didn't sleep either. An experience I will never forget.
At least we knew Rita Cosby was wrong - we looked up the Supreme Court opinion online, and had it figured out before the reporters did. Same for most of the legal finagling afterwards.
Free Republic is a great site. A good number of the contributors are exceptionally competent, i.e. they are rigorous, smart, and demand trustworthy sources for information before they draw conclusions. No other place I know of can hold a candle to FR!

Free Republic is a gentle addiction-- one that's actually good for your health! When I've had enough of the alphabet soup idiots and their propaganda, I turn to FR and my blood pressure simmers down.
Thanks, Jim Robinson, for this added dimension to my life. I don't know what I ever did without it!

TLBSHOW, thank you for this thread. I 've met some of the funniest people here. People that make me laugh so hard I cry. I've met others who've just been so wonderful that they touch my soul. And then there's those bad boys who just keep me entertained with their antics. Even when I don't post to the threads, I love to read them. Some people here don't even know how much I admire them. Good. They might get fat heads!

"My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com (What about yours?)" Yup....now I spend way too much time on the computer. At least with Freerepublic it's quality time.
