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.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We've been kicking back on the weekends where we simply review those who've been featured during the week. It's been three months since our debut, and some have been asking for a 'list' of those who've held center stage in the past. As one of our strongest supporters has been calling those who've been profiled, the "Hall of Famers", it seems fitting then to add a regular "Hall of Fame" thread to our list. It will be updated on a regular basis....maybe every three months? :)
As I was 'gathering' these threads to make links, I couldn't help noticing how much longer and more detailed our profiles have become! Apologies to the early Hall of Famers if you feel short-changed - who knew we would be getting paid by the word later? :)

THIS WEEKEND'S THREAD
09-21,22-02
Thanks, Mixer!
1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me an FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Gracias, mis amigos...
"Masterful Whore"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "Masters of War"**)
**(3rd Track on Dylan's "The FReewheelin' Bob Dylan")
Slick's a Masterful Whore...
Sold Chinese our Big Guns...
Bloody handful of coins...
Can y'all say, "TREASON"?!!
Folks, Slick hides beyond Laws...
And Left's Liars in the Press...
Slick, I wanted you to know...
Patriots demand Justice!!
Slick has never done nothin'...
But RAPE and DESTROY!!
Left lauds his "New World"...
It's just a Socialist ploy!!
Left confiscates our lands...
Then, Slick stomped on folks' rights...
Note Slick turned a pale yellow...
When it was his turn to FIGHT!!!!!
Like Vile Tyrants of Olde...
Slick lies and deceives...
New World Order's all BUNK!!
UN's Socialist Sleaze!!
Slick, folks see through yer lies...
Slick, our Country you've stained...
Won't forget the Waco SLAUGHTER...
Forgive?!! Yer INSANE!!!
Left enslaves all their Victims...
Left is hatred-inspired...
Ol' Slick sits back and laughs...
Seems them Lib'rals love LIARS!!
Clintons defaced our White House...
With their abhorrent crud!!
Slick found time to boink interns...
Still choked his li'l pud!!
Slick's now Left's nightmare...
Arrogance so absurd!!
FReepers must teach their children...
To follow Lord's Word!!
Yes, Left's threatenin' our Liberty...
Socialism's Left's aim...
Ain't no match fer MEN...
We'll CRUSH Left with our brains!!
How, folks, do I know?!
From Rush Limbaugh I learned!!
Left may trash us with mud...
Right's viewpoints are spurned.
Still, there's two things I know...
Slick, Right's WISER than you...
And my Lord Jesus'll never...
Forgive you, you FOOL!!
Slick, lemme ask you some questions...
Is POWER really so good?!
Bill, will it git you redemption?!
Do you think that it should?!
I think Bill will find...
When his obituary is told...
All those Laws that he's RAPED were...
Never quite worth his Soul!!
Slick, I hope you don't DIE...
Least not anytime soon...
Hope you live long in Prison...
Hope yer cellmates LOOOOVE you!! )8^D>
Slick, I'll be at yer funeral...
I'll sing ill of the dead...
Then, I'll stand over yer grave...
Plant a flower o'er yer head!!

traditional TX BBQ is goat,beef,chicken and/or pork, cooked SLOWLY over either hickory or mesquite wood. cooking time is usually at least overnight, but MAY be 24 hours or more-longer is better!
we serve sauce WITH BBQ, rather than ON BBQ. usually TX sauce is tomato/beer based, often laced heavily with hot peppers.
we also, traditionally, serve beans WITH chili, rather than IN chili, thus the 2 bowls on a plate sets one often sees in TX kitchens.
