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.

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. ;-)

THIS WEEK'S THREADS

07-29-02 Doug from Upland
07-30-02 Name That FReeper

[Mama_Bear]

No problem. You got my main thread (where I host all the images).

Gosh, I was looking at that thread. That must have taken you a long time to put together!

[CounterCounterCulture]

The voices in my head wouldn't be so bad if one of them wouldn't keep playing the original "HampsterDance" song over and over and over. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, daisy. Love your calendar pages. I am amazed that someone was able to come up with 365 daily mottos ..... "live pleasurably", "live graciously", etc. I would have run out by the middle of January. LOL!

[The Mayor]

LOL!!

[daisyscarlett]

A delightful presentation of a very fine FReeper. Two of my favorites (dfu and CCC) in the same week-how can I stand it...

[daisyscarlett]

Well I will have to admit your SUNRISE of today caught me by surprise. But I love it-browsing in antique shops and looking at collectables is one of my favorite things to do. And that milk bottle would be a prize for anyone who collects old bottles....

[Mama_Bear]

The voices in my head really appreciate the honor. ;-)

All of the voices in your head are always welcome here. The more, the merrier!

[SheLion]

Good morning from Maine!

You have a super thread here!!

[CounterCounterCulture]

I had Friday off and put it together that notorious thread that day.

---

Anyhoo,one time there was a bit of controversy on the California state pages when I briefly "defected." I start with a response to Great Dane...

Great Dane, it all started so innocently (yeah, right) when somebody inquired about how many Californians were listed, to which I (and another Freeper) responded 477 and told the person how to research it.

Then JohnnLee said we were wrong when somebody pushed the total to 478. Not liking to be corrected, the following exchange took place...

CounterCounterCulture
YOU ARE WRONG, JohnnLee!!! It's now back to 477!!!

I have just renounced my citizenship and moved to China with lotsa secrets! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaa! Goodbye imperialistic scum!!!

Buckeroo
CCC-

Well at least you live in a "republic", the PRC, of course. Got any hotsauced smotherd, "duck-back" over there worth eating?

CounterCounterCulture
Yankee dog scum! We have lots of duck! Best duck in the not-so-free world. Ha-haa!

When we are not shooting duck, we are shooting disarmed dissidents. Ha-haa!

Long live Mao's legacy!

Buckeroo
CCC-

You do realize, that you are ahead of the rest of us, don't you? Red Davis is already signing a pact with the PRC. He is going to have billions of Chinease come to the PRK (People's Republik Kalifornia) and run around all day on training twirlers to generate more energy for us. Red is a wiseman with his vision; he is very thoughtful.

JohnnLee
Now that CCC has defected, I stand corrected. Hope he and Marc Rich enjoy their exile. Now that I think of it, haven't seen aything of Billybob lately. Maybe he's running his US government in exile from the PRC! ~(:^))

CounterCounterCulture
Buckeroo! Yankee dog scum! Here is my good friend, General Chang, at the local office of one of our comrades. Ha-haa!

http://home.att.net/~alanj.hall/zoegaijin01.jpg

California has no power, no military to speak of, and no missile defense. Ripe for the pickings. Ha-haa!

Resistance is futile! Ha-haa!

JohnnLee
CounterCounterCulture is now, and here to for should be known as "Commited Chinese Communist." ~(;-D

CounterCounterCulture
Yankee capitalist scum!

I put the CCC in the CCCP. Ha-haa!

Communism shall rule, and we'll just walk into California without firing a shot because Americans are lazy, fat and dumb! Long live Yankee apathy! Ha-haa!

(I'm shooting for an Oscar, or at least a Daytime Emmy, with my over-the-top performance)

So then the California count went up some more and I decided to return to the California count.
JohnnLee
CCC=I thought you went to China! (Had hoped you'd take San Jose with you--on a slow boat) NYUCK-NYUCK-NYUCK

CounterCounterCulture
JohnnLee, I have renounced my renouncement of the U.S. (don't get so snippy about it)

Main reason - it's hard to find a good Mexican restaurant there in China. Oh well.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Taxman. Good to see you here. I see from your page that you are from Virginia, one of my favorite states. I lived in Norfolk/Virginia Beach for a couple years, graduated from high school there. I love the rich history of your state.

[Pippin]

HOWDY ALL!!!!!

[daisyscarlett]

Time to get up and join us.....

[Pippin]

Hi, CCC! Congratulations on your day to day!

[Mama_Bear]

'Morning SheLion! We love having you here.

I am sorry to say that Maine is one of only about five states I have not visited. New Hampshire is as far north as I have gotten on the eastern seaboard. Someday I am going to get back there. I would love to see some of the old lighthouses and your rugged coastline. From pictures I have seen, it looks beautiful. I couldn't handle your winters though. I think I will come in the summertime. LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, fuzzy!

What a splendid thread! Your talent has no bounds.

You're lookin' mighty cute this morning. : )

[doug from upland]

A big way to go for CCC!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Congratulations, Triple C!

[Taxman]

Thanks for all that you are doing, Mama Bear. I mostly lurk on your thread, because my vocation and avocation, replacing the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax and abolishing the IRS is a 24/7 job, and my time is limited! Sure do enjoy lurking here, though.

Actually, I am a native Virginian -- born in Richmond a long time ago. I am proud to be a Virginian! Though I am not as steeped in our rich history as I'd like to be, I am fairly knowledgeable about it, and working diligently to keep the Liberal/Socialiast/Marxist influence at bay!

Eagles Up!

[Mama_Bear]

I remember that exchange on the California page. You had us all in stitches! Classic CCC!
Thanks for posting that here for all to enjoy.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning hugs to louie. :-)

What a splendid thread! Your talent has no bounds.

Thank you, I appreciate your compliments so much. :-)

You're lookin' mighty cute this morning. : )

You're not looking half bad yourself. ;-)
