Life was never the same after finding www.freerepublic.com, How about Yours?
Kick the liberals out! is the battle cry! ^ | 9/8/2001 | TLBSHOW

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?

I scream at the TV too! It is so funny, because I am not a morning person, but if I get up at 5 am and the hubby has the news on I start telling off the newsreaders pronto! Otherwise, I don't especially want to talk at all until I have been up awhile! Think he would learn not to turn that stuff on, but he does it all of the time.

Glad you are here nopardons! You were another of the first freepers I learned the screenname of! Sure wish I had known about this place during the impeachment!

Thank you Matt Drudge for sending me to Free Republic. I just passed on a trip to Cabo San Lucas because I wasn't sure they had internet access.

Be fair in reporting, it wasn't a forever ban. More like a vacation.

JediGirl's final post on the following thread:

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS BEYOND CORRUPT, IT'S ALSO EVIL WARNS JIM ROBINSON IN SCATHING ATTACK OF TRUTH
Posted by JediGirl to Texasforever
On News/Activism ^ Sep 24 0:24 AM #834 of 1,000

I define a conservative as somebody who wants to return to a constitutionally limited gov't. But lately, conservative has come to mean someone who wants the government to endorse their big money guzzling programs instead of those of the liberals.

I am against abortion after the first trimester. I am against prohibition. And I don't think that we should treat animals shoddily before humans consume them.

------------

Radical ideas! No wonder she was banned!

OK, you're right. Darth got a "time out" until Nov. 6th.

I don't know for sure about JediGirl. Her ban may be permanent.

Must be just a coincidence that they both have "Star Wars" related screen names?

That's WHEN I got hooked on FR. I don't know how I would have made it , without this site. I was losing my voice, from screaming and learned , to my husband's amazment, that I could actually listen to the radio, the T.V., and read a few newspapers all at the same time ...and scream at all of them at once. I must have been a strange sight. LOL

Then, he got me WEbTV ( I couldn't work his computer and he had to sit with me, and help me, as we both read FR ) and I was off and running. LOL

I wish that you had been here, then ; but, I am more than delighted, that you finally DID find FR and that we've become such dear friends. :-)

...and now TV is the last place for your news source, right?

Me too. Free Republic is my home page. I don't have cable or even read any newspapers very often.

FR is one of the best sources for breaking news on the net.

Oh yeah. I especially remember the live threads on those endless court hearings. I sat in my pj's all day in front of the computer. Although the entire fiasco was a nightmare, the laughs were plentiful! My house never got cleaned, dinner was never cooked, and the laundry piled sky high! Gee, come to think of it, things haven't changed a bit from those days! LOL!
