Ask yourself these questions:
Where is the first place I go to on the internet to find out what's happening with politics?
Am I getting any benefit from Free Republic?
Am I learning from Free Republic?
Free Republic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are almost 80,000 registered users on Free Republic and approximately 1,000 Freepers help keep this forum running. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by bumping the threads once in a while. I've been in a position where the funds were low and every penny was needed to pay for frivolous things such as food. Those who do have the means should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader. Go ahead, flame me. I don't care. I contribute to Free Republic, and I for one do not want to see this forum dead.
If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again. Thus ending the silly graphics and posts. But, it's not happening, so we will continue this annoying process until we reach our goal.
Because The Constitution Still Matters - Freepathon Thread 2
Actually, I kinda enjoy annoying the freeploaders...

Earlier this morning there was a piece on Fox News about the recovery of the bodies of 2 more NYPD officers last night. So I went looking for something that I had seen in one of the September threads dealing with the WTC. I come from 3 generations of NYPD and I thought is was a beautiful tribute.
I didn't find it, yet. What I did find, however was a couple of threads posted shortly before the first plane hit. One struck me as so weird.
The thread dealt with don Imus claiming that ManCow had been banned from FOX. The minutaie of the world in which we used to live.
Yes we all have fun on various threads and subjects and have lots of laughs. In fact we were in the midst of a FReepathon that day.
But then I read the beginning of the first thread reporting the attacks and saw how everyone just banded together with prayers and with posting updates for those who were without radio or television.
Information and the coming together in time of crisis of people that normally don't particularly get along. That to me is the spirit of Free Republic.
I'm off my soap box now ---- LET"S GET THOSE NUMBERS UP!!!!!!
I've noticed - especially when they take offense at the term "freeploader"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you California
Now, this is a new/current candid shot of the not too happy Peter Pan Da$$hole eating crow, this morning, thanks to Free Republic, Rush and Sean! His wife had left the room to get new Pampers for him. We, then, took this photo of the evil little Troll:
Please contribute to Free Republic so that we have this vile little troll eating crow every morning in his high chair!
