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?
Bump to the top!
"Just what I always wanted-
-a newspaper I can talk back to!"
Bump to the top!
FreeRepublic has folks like you!
That's good enough reason for me to love this site!;^)
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
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.
I probably fit into that category. I've enjoyed being on some threads with you. I just LOVE FreeRepublic!
People like you are the reason this site is so exciting and popular. You never want to leave.
To ALL,
