My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com (What about yours?)

My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com

I was a normal kind of guy. I ate food went out for walks and even watched videos, eek! I took the wife shopping. Even talked to the wife once in awhile.

Then that fateful night of Nov 7th 2000. I had to go somewhere else to to watch the election results as I do not have Cable TV. I went to the pizza joint on rt 7 and then to my secret election watch hide out.(No one to interupt)

I wanted to watch Bush beat the socks off of Gore. I new it was going to be a great night. Little did I know I would never sleep that night or for the next 5 weeks.

It took me till the end of November to find out I was not alone. That there was a freerepublic.com.

Before I would tell people the truth and they all wouldn't have a clue or they thought, this boy is NUTS! It was a lonely life thinking Am I The Only One that sees what is going on with this country and what the liberal bias media and the leftist democrats were doing to it, let alone the Clintons and Reno.

Well to make the story short. I was watching the news and these great people were on TV saying get out of Cheneys house. There it was the sign said Freerepublic.com. I copied it down and ran to my computer. I typed it in and sure enough The NEW WORLD WAS RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!

I think what would my life be if there was not a FR. If the rest of you were not here. That was enough to make me sit up and take notice. What can I do to make sure FR is here forever. Then I found out all I had to do was support the place and along with 70,000 other members make FR home. That we could change the world from here and with hundreds of thousands of people stopping by everyday we could tell the whole world the truth.

I would not trade all of you fine FReepers for any other world.

My life has never been the same since I found www.freerepublic.com (What about yours?) Ok everyone has your life been the same since logging on to FR and what adventures have you had?

Gosh, don't remember if the shorts were seersucker or not. Just remember they were very stylish.

It has also given me lots of facts to win debates (arguments) with liberals, they have no answers for the truth so must resort to anger and screaming baldfaced lies.

Bump to the top!

Another FReeper put it perfectly:

When you do something, you "sure do it right". My wonderful NRA member wife turned me on to FR by always being ahead of me on the news so I lurked for a couple of years, then signed on and have never regretted it. The only problem I have with FR is that it is additive. I run errands, work in the yard, etc and HAVE TO come in and check out the latest articles for a few minutes (which always turns out to be hours). I support FR with a small monthly and several "one timers" during the FR fund raisers. I thank God and JimRob and all of those who work to keep us up and running. BTW, glad to see your post.Sorry to be so late on this reply but I've been out for a while.

FReeping bump

One stop shopping for news
Many talented, intelligent, creative people generously willing to share their knowledge
Also amazing what a like-minded group of people can organize and
accomplish without ever seeing one another!
Thanks JimRob

Yup.

I found some kindred spirits, some very nice &n highly knowledgable people (of course, SOME of the "knowledge" which any one of us thinks is real or even certain, is illusory, or, worse, a hoax), and a few fun nut cases & healthy argumentation with persons who, nevertheless, generally have the same or similar political-economic, historical, & social values, perspectives & goals.

I've spent many hours many weeks in the FR community, especially around the Election.
