Well, I've been on this forum since 1998....and I know Carlo3b, the poster of this thread, as one of FR's finest.
He's had the most undeserved aspersions cast against him in remarks by the Obama supporters and potty-mouths, but he takes it all in stride and rebuts robustly.
Who is he? I know him as a fellow freeper, a great conservative, entrepeneur.....and a gentleman. He's an accomplished chef, restauranteur, author and designer. He's the father of five and grandfather of five.
Many freepers have long enjoyed his vanity posts on such holidays as Thanksgiving and Christmas where he recalls warm memories of past years in the busy Italian family kitchens of yesterday....the grandmas, the aunts, the mothers, the patriarchs, the little kids, the bubbling pots of sauces, the togetherness. Carlos' beautifully-written posts bring back memories for all of us.
As "Bahama Mama", I organized three fund-raising FR cruises to the Caribbean. When I needed table or game prizes I could call on Carlo to donate bound copies of the marvelous freeper "Clinton Legacy Cookbook" to help the cause. He would ship a case of the books to me to take on the cruises....and what wonderful prizes they were.
Carlo put the cookbook together, edited it, wrote witty copy for it and published it. It contains recipes from scores of freeper, both past and present. What a great legacy from FR's chef-in-chief!
Again, thanks for your many donations in our fund-raising efforts, FRiend. You're a warm, caring man....and scarcely deserving of the remarks and disparaging name-calling of bitter, unhappy people.
Freep On, folks....and Bon Appetite!

It is one thing to disagree but another to call names and be disrespectful. To disagree is what made America the land I love, but to be hateful falls right into the hands of the progressives and makes no sense at all. Think before you post. I too am for Romney, he is a business man and that is what America needs now, not some uber right wing or uber left wing nuts. We need to win this election! If Obama gets a second term this venue will be gone, there will be no more opinion sites especially conservative ones.
Carlo3b stated: “What are your credentials?? I know who Romney is, and the folks on this site know who I am...”
He deserved a kick in the semicolon and I gladly did in the defense of the other freeper.
I don’t give a damn who he is but I will assure you that he has false visions of grandeur that holds him higher than the serfs, proles and lower class of mankind.
