A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-31-02

A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute
and support our military and our leaders; tell a few jokes; learn a new
word; write poetry; pray for those in need; and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.





A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

Today's Featured FReeper....
CounterCounterCulture!

This FReeper's "FR Birthday" is April 3, 1999,
and he claims to have been born under the sign...
******
Could that account for his brilliant and colorful personality?
I don't know, but he certainly is a multi-faceted FReeper!

When I asked him if I could spotlight him
on "FR's Finest", he shyly replied....
"I guess I have no choice now...sigh...ah heck,
who am I kidding. I LOVE THE ATTENTION!!!
Me me me me me!!! LOL!"
.....


When I asked him to send me a list of the FReeping
events he has attended, he sent me.....
THIS!
(Is that an impressive list, or what?!?)


When I asked him if he would like me to highlight
anything particular, this was his response ......
"Nothing much else really. Just to re-emphasize: ...."

*** Yes, ladies, I am still single and available ***


CounterCounterCulture has, among other things, set up many of the
1999/2000 primary and general election Presidential live debate threads,
as well as many of the 2000 Democrat Convention live threads.

The list of CCC's contributions to FreeRepublic is endless.
Here is just one of his many notorious posts:
* Welcome to the DNC 2000 Awards Show! *
Freepers Choice Awards Galore
(GOLDEN BWA-HA AWARD WINNER FOR PARODY OF THE WEEK)




CounterCounterCulture at his first official FReep,
December 5, 1998 - during Xlinton's impeachment.


For a peek into the fascinating mind of this FReeper,

Please help me salute our FReeper of the day.

If we are lucky, we might be able to coax him out of
his shell long enough to come to our thread and say hello. ;-)

The lupine is beautiful, does it also smell good?

Looks like it should, but I don't think so. I've never seen anything mentioned about it having fragrance.

Y'all are making me feel guilty....this was supposed to be my day to do housework...

Oh well, it will wait until tomorrow.

Did you see whoever's post about "Dust If You Must"? I think it pretty much sums up how I feel about it. :-)

Hello, whoever. A beautiful day to you!

Hi CCC: Haven't seen you in a while.

Hey everybody: CCC will travel hours to freep. He drove all the way to LA to march with us in the Constitution Day Parade a few years back. I even let him in my swinging pad for a BBQ.

Good afternoon, dansangel! It is because of people like CCC and all the others we've spotlighted and all those yet to come that this thread is so much fun every day.
We're having a blast!

"This gives me an idea for a thread made up of all the great FReeper signs and chants from the past couple years."

What a great idea! Add some of the graphics that were going around, especially during the recount. One of my favorites were Gore and Leiberman as Barney Fife and Gomer!

Billie. No need to thank me. I had a blast yesterday! I'm so thrilled that I have finally learned to scan and post. I usually issue a doggie challange during the freeperthons...Will have a lot more fun with it next time. People are going to be so sick of seeing by babies! LOL
