yup2394871293: “The NYT hasn’t figured out yet that someone like Drudge has the ability to call attention to the elephant in the room instead of always trying to divert attention away from it.”

LOL; well stated!!!

Cicero: “I find myself visiting Drudge regularly because it’s one of the best places to find out what’s going on.”

And so does all of Washington and “journalists” across the nation.

Long live Drudge! He has been a smart champion of free speech and a thorn in the side of the fascist propaganda machine.

And...I would be craven if I extolled the virtues of Drudge without paying homage to Jim Robinson, the brilliant architect and selfless patriot of Free Republic -— a website prophetic in its name and a man “called to such as time as this.”

I cannot bear to think of the implications that JR & FR will not be mentioned in history books yet to be written.

JR: I pray you live in good health to see the fruits of your labors. You have tolerated more fools and foolishness than a man ought to bear...and have done so with consummate grace and steadfastness to your principles.

It is rare to find a man who does not have a price by which he can be bought. It may never have crossed your mind, but your inviolable line in the sand ennobles all serious FR contributors. You have been a true leader. We can only repay you with our prayers, our thanks, and our financial contributions.

Drudge may command the attention of Washington and the MSM propaganda stenographers-—whether they admit it or not-—but FR serves an even greater purpose: true free speech-— where collective wisdom can be gathered and discerned; where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; where iron sharpeneth iron, and where research is selflessly offered up to those communicators who have a different or wider audience in service to the truth and our Constitutional Republic, founded under God.

We are living in the most perilous of times, and you provide a voice for the watchmen on the wall and a voice for the common man who had no idea his common sense was so profound.

A heartfelt THANK-YOU...and now I will end this post to go make a donation.

Thank you very much, dearest thouworm, for your heartfelt and wonderful tribute to our Hero and Leader Jim Robinson!

Jim and Free Republic are everything you've stated and more, but mere words cannot possibly express everything that we know and feel in our hearts and minds, nor can we properly express our gratitude or begin to recount the impact Jim and Free Republic have made the National and Local political landscapes.

To say that "Free Republic's best days are still ahead," is an understatement, but with such loyal and superb Freepers like you, we know for a fact that our best days are here and also in the future farther than our eyes can see!!

May God always bless FReepers and our families and May God always bless Free Republic!

Thank you all for supporting Free Republic!!!

We know this 2nd Quarter FReepathon has taken a little longer than most, but Obama's economy is hitting our member's and then there's always a few members who just don't donate for reasons of their own. It would all be so simple, of everyone jst donated a $10 or $20, or signed-up to donate monthly.

Good night. Hugs and Prayers for all.
