Help me out will you and post some of the reasons you love the site and the different success stories Freerepublic has had over the years to make it #1.

Franticly searching the web, shortly after the schlickmeister first got elected, I found FreeRepublic, at that time in it's infancy. It was like being thrown a life preserver in the dead of a pitch black night while floundering in a bottomless, seething sea!

I've never posted; just lurked and read and found solice in the knowledge that we are many.

I flew from the Left coast(Seattle)to the People's city(D.C.) to attend "The March For Justice",and I returned feeling wonderful and knowing that Clinton's legacy was sealed.

I log on almost daily, still, and I wonder how many more like me there are who silently gather strength and make it through thanks to FREEREPUBLIC.COM.

God bless Jim Robinson

Hiya TLB! FR has Big Ones!

[petuniasevan]

Real UNSLANTED news and information. No more distilled rotbrain from the alphabet networks.

A place to express our views, debate, compare notes, learn, be entertained.

A way to debate and debunk/contradict mushy liberal arguments.

FR serves as a "watchdog" keeping an eye out for the usual leftist politics and dirty tricks.

Most of all, we can spread the word to reality-challenged, media-influenced, or just plain underinformed folks.

How about it? Has anyone here lately tried introducing a friend, family member, co-worker, to this site?
No way have we even BEGUN to approach common knowledge here, much less "market" saturation.

Hi! My name is Humidston and I'm an FR addict....

(Actually I've never met such fantastic people anywhere else. Every time we had FReeps in Houston, I got an opportunity to meet more good honest, and decent Americans who share my values. You can't beat that - especially when that pervert was president and the future looked so dim!)

Free Republic is like the UL (Underwriter's Labratories) of every news outlet around the world. Any news put up on this site is mercilessly assailed by many points of view, and only the facts remain standing. Opinions that are true are proven true, and false opinions are ravaged until rendered unrecognizable. Hard-news items are run through a ringer that network news numbskulls only wish that they could deliver to their audiences, or lie awake in fear that someone else (O'Reilly for example) will do it and take even more of their audience away. News analysis that illustrates what journalism used to be, and should be today...JFK

Free Republic is the world's best bu//$#!+ detector. Posted articles are regularly dissected with extreme thoroughness by incredibly smart and knowledgable FReepers. The ongoing news analysis really shows the bankruptcy of the lamestream media.

It's great!

[Vigilantcitizen]

Freerepublic has totally weaned me from boobtube news and taught me a great deal about how the political system works.

Another plus, the people that populate this site come from all walks of life and careers. As a working Joe, it really excites me to read commentary from journalists, scientist, writers, etc... Minds that I otherwise would not have direct access to.

Plus, I must echo FreedomPoster's statement about using the commentary after the articles to disseminate what is pasture fodder and what is not.

Big salute and thanks to Jim and John Robinson, both Great Americans.

[InkStone]

Thanks TLBSHOW

FReerepublic.com scoops everyone: I read it here in the morning and I hear it on the news tomorrow.

Thanks to all you great FREEPERS, and come visit FLORIDA while the prices are low during the off-season.

[FreedomFarmer]

FreeRepublic is everything I'd want in a spouse.

Strong, smart, funny, sexy, witty, clever, and easy to cheer up with an offer of CHEESE!

FreeRepublic gets more than Honorable Mention in my will.

[lavaroise]

I can get bashed verbaly here so that I can aim my sights better. And once that is done, I can bash idiotic disruptors. It's just a form of jurisdictional assertion.

Last but not least, we are developing here, OPEN SOURCING the perfect algorithm and machine against liberal and leftist lunacy and worships. It's just great.

[The Raven]

I was at work when the towers were attacked. I turned to the FR for news. TV, raio, Drudge, etc were all scrambling and messy.

News aside, these are the three folks who influenced my political thinking - Milton Freidman, Wm F Buckley, & Jim Robinson.

[M Kehoe]

Help me out will you and post some of the reasons you love the site...

[Plutarch]

Is there a link for the stickiest site stats?

[ChadGore]

I love freepers !

[floriduh voter]

For one thing, I feel "Free" here. Where else can you author your own thoughts and if you don't make a complete idiot of yourself, the networking begins and we become part of the conservative movement which I believe will experience an expansion that history has never seen.

Besides you all are so clever. It's a real pleasure to communicate with most of you. (no comment on the disruptors) LOL Floriduh Voter

[Khepera]

Hey it's just a great site.

Oh lord my hands are all sticky now.

Help me out will you and post some of the reasons you love the site and the different success stories Freerepublic has had over the years

#1 reason: this site was, in the words of rep. Henry Hyde:"the main reason Bill Clinton was impeached". I'm so proud of being a part of that piece of history, and when our grandchildren ask: 'what were you doing when that monster clinton was ruining the western world?' We can say we fought the good fight and we weren't 'shoveling socialism in Louisiana...'

[sweetliberty]

Community, education and humor. I like being around intelligent and witty people and FReepers are the best! I am always learning something new and making new friends. It's not only the first and foremost place on the web for news, but also a great place to learn about any number of topics. Seems there isn't a question that can be asked, that there isn't a FReeper who has an answer.

[sweetliberty]

Also, we are THE site that the Rats love to hate and these kinds of threads drive them crazy. That must mean that we are doing them something right.

[lodwick]

Good job. bttt
