Thank you, Jim , and John, and Mrs. Robinson, too!
The effects of this website have been more far-reaching than we will ever know. For ten years it has been a force for truth and for the pursuit of justice and freedom.
It was great to be part of the March for Justice in 1998 at the Washington Monument, and to Freep the White House on Saturdays at the North Gate with the intrepid DC Freepers in 1999 and 2000, the "SoreLoserman" and election debacle of 2000 which Gore almost got away with, except for some awesome intervention by who else?-- some Florida Freepers, turning to FR on 9/11/01 to find out what was going on then and in the dark days afterward, watching the resolve of the country to go forward to Afghanistan and Iraq, to working to turn back Democratic demagogues in the 2000,2002, 2004, and now 2006 elections,to helping the SwiftBoat Vets dropkick John F'ing Kerry into loserland, to gaining new conservative Supreme Court Justices,to keeping the truth alive about Clintons,and to be part of the debate for preserving this great land and its traditions in the immigration and culture debates.
Thanks to you, this forum exists.
We are grateful.
Happy Big 1-0 Jim!
And we've got a fourth for our Seinfeld group - Mr. Brighside.
Of course, there are many other Seinfeld freaks (Gamecock, patton, lesser_satan), but they are "bizarro FReepers." :-)
Well done FreeRepublic.

Congratulations to Jim and his family, true American Patriots.
Thank you, Jim, for your foresight, your tenacity, your ability to solve problems, your son (John), your love of country and your generosity. My only regret is that I can't be here 24/7. Best wishes, congratulations and God Bless You and yours.
