Favorite FReepers...

[Long Cut]

We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...

All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.

Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.

I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????

Wow! How'd I miss this thread?

Anyway, I have my own list of Fav-FReeps.

• mhking -- My brotha from anutha mutha
• farmfriend -- Absolute sweetheart
• Chad Fairbanks and Lazamataz -- They have me laughing hard
• AppyPappy -- He understands the "frat" thang
• OrthodoxPresbyterian -- A living, breathing, walking Holy Bible
• Billie -- Always have a home on one of her threads
• alamo-girl -- A wealth of information
• backhoe -- Need info? He will dig it up.
• Southack, Common Tator, and Poohbah -- Politically shrewd
• jwalsh07 -- Inspirational dude who doesn't mind chastising me when needed
• Sabertooth -- Fiesty but consistantly sound in his reasoning.
• Texasforever -- His birth certificate was written in hieroglyphics, but he's alright with me!
• hchutch -- Pings me to posts I may ordinarily miss
• The entire Penguin Ping crew -- Gotta love my Linux-heads
• The GRPL -- Troublesome bunch, aren't we?

I may have missed some, so charge it to the head, not to the heart.

It ain't nothin' to a ballah, baby. Love, peace, and Afro-Sheen!

Show 'em my motto!

Mornin' !

[GraniteStateConservative]

Thanks.

I know what you mean. This is a great place, alright !

Did you know that Dubya was a Freeper ??? ...

Dubya: Meek, you're right! FreeRepublic.com IS the "Best site on the 'Net!"

[MineralMan]

"MineralMan, I would not come to FR if I agreed with everything everybody had to say. Disagreements here have taught me a lot. I enjoy hearing your point of view (most of the time)."

Indeed, you're right. Disagreements are how we all learn.

[Modernman]

Modernman: A libertarian-leaning legal eagle who I've watched defend the principle of individual liberty with good humor and impeccable manners in the face of flames that would make Godzilla proud, MM takes everything thrown at him and never seems to get angry. His debating skills are an example of how to win one.

It's interesting to see how others perceive you. On this site, I've been called everything from a communist, a licker of jack-boots, a statist, a homosexual and a loserdopian.

I figure, considering that I've pissed off FReepers of every strain (from libertarian to theocrat), I must be doing something right!

Now, my favorite Freepers:

CobaltBlue: A fellow Old Dominion lawyer, Ms. Blue is the epitome of Southern grace, wit and charm. She knows the law and is one of the most intellectually honest FReepers.

exmarine: exmarine and I have engaged in some seriously heated debates. However, he has never gone whining to the admins. Unlike many FReepers, exmarine can not only dish it out, he can take it. I may not agree with him on anything, but I can respect the fact that he's a man who'll stick to his guns.

Motleygirl70: Fellow politically incorrect Simpsons fan.

cyborg: A sense of humor plus a Mardi Gras costume. What more can a man ask for?

Broncosfan: Former law school roommate and seeker of esoteric India/China/Taiwan/Africa military information and gossip.

nopardons: A die-hard Bush supporter and political pragmatist. nopardons is (in)famous for pointing out that, in the real world, political candidates are not, and never will be, ideologically perfect. Some people's heads pop off when they hear this bit of reality.

And, in the dearly departed file: Chancellor Palpatine, Honeygirl and f.Christian.

i like your posts. I'll remember to do the cussing and shouting that you won't do in the future :)

[MeekOneGOP]

.... If I don't think of you, don't be sad; all FReepers rock and are worthy of high praise!

I agree. There are so many I have left out (unintentionally) that are great. Folks whose posts are BULLSEYES, folks that post GREAT pics and humor, etc., etc., etc. ...

Thanks MUCHO. This IS the Best site on the 'Net !
