Another special feature of Free Republic Highlights is My Two Cents. These are a growing collection of analytical articles and essays written by John Huang2 with a real punch on the latest event to hit the news. He is one of the best and my favorite prognosticator and pundit on Free Republic. He hits a bulls-eye every time he takes on the liberal media, the Democrats in Congress, and world leaders. These articles and essays come out almost daily, so put his column on your 'must do' list. You won't be sorry if you like to keep up with current events. If it's happened and it has been reported in the news, he's written about it.

Thanks for the post, BADJOE's essay is one of many fund-raising exhortations to be posted over the last few days that really make you stop and think.
FreeRepublic has become a home for conservatives worldwide. Our (AFVetGal and others) home away from home has become the USO Canteen...without the support of JimRob and the FReepers who donate faithfully every quarter, we wouldn't have that home. And the men and women who are out there every day putting their lives on the line to protect Freedom and Liberty wouldn't have that wonderful R&R experience we give them every day, all day.
(Psssttt...Snow Bunny, did I do that right?)
I honestly look forward to meeting him some day and wanted to share my feelings over his loss and what it meant to his family.
Joanie, thank you for pointing this out to me.
FRegards and Eagles Up!
