Thanks for posting, kristinn. Jim and the rest of our FreeRepublic heroes (including you) have saved my sanity over these last 15 years. Prior to FR I thought I was a lone voice in the wilderness. Life became better for me with the addition of FR. I am better educated, and better informed. I am sure I speak for many in this regard.

Thank you, Jim Robinson! You are a hero for all of us!

One more time:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our BORDERS, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and FREEDOM of ASSOCIATION, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is NOT a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our GOD-GIVEN rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of Life.
Our God-given Life, Liberty and freedoms are NOT negotiable!!
For God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty!!
If you cannot live with the above, fine, but keep your mouth shut about it while on FR. Don't fight against us on ANY of our deeply held beliefs!!
DON'T TREAD ON ME!!
Anti Life & Liberty trolls will be ZOT on sight!!

+++++++

Thank you, Jim and John Robinson, and Kristinn!

Freeper number 18175. Would have been sooner than 1/31/99 but I lurked for several months.

Got introduced to FR by a sweet lady at a festival in Orange County, CA back in Oct/Nov of the previous year. My then newlywed wife (Tanusha is her FR name) were so happy to find a site that espoused our views. My sweet angel barely spoke English at the time (new from Russia - actually Belarus). Whoever you are we thank you.

[Shelayne]

Thank you, Jim! Happy Anniversary to all FReepers!

[The Duke]

These folks were fighting 100% based on principles. In other words, they were fighting the fight “before the money ran out”. Great Americans, every one!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the memories, dear Petruchio!

[DollyCali]

Thanks for the heads up! I wasn’t able to get back to the thread earlier as I was at a local Jazz Festival all day Sunday.

I found myself 4 times actually in the montage.. the reference you gave was with Toby. Others of me are back & side. Pix I had seen prior.

Walter Reed Friday nights were very special. I was only able to get to 4 of the events with issues of $$$ & getting away with mom’s situation, but they were always uplifting — even in the extreme cold, wet or heat.

[P8riot]

Wow! I didn’t know FR and I had the same birthday.

[Guenevere]

Hi mcmuffin!! :).....I remember that day well!!!...

Good times!!

Happy anniversary Jim! Keep on keeping on! I first visited at the end of January 1998, following a link from Drudge, seeking information on the impeachment trial. I lurked for two years and then joined when I had something to post.

Happy birthday to one of the last havens for freedom,justice and the American way. FR is the supersite of the web! Many more years to everyone at Fr.

[American Quilter]

Thank you for this wonderful site, JimRob! I’ve only been here since 2005, but I can’t imagine this country without it. Here’s to many more years of hugh, series, stuning attacks on the liberal enemy.

[American Quilter]

Hi Neil! Thanks for all you’ve done over the years to support FR and Jim.
