Thread of Thanks: A debt of gratitude to Jim and John Robinson and FR.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

We can't say "Thank You" enough for your hard work and efforts. We know the results of the elections last night was a personal goal for you as indicated by many of your posts, as well as one of the goals of FreeRepublic, and you worked hard towards that end.

Congratulations, and thank you. FR played an important role in getting out the truth and facts, tearing down the lies and spin, in spite of the odds from Dems, disruptors, AF'ers and those on other sites whose goal it was to derail you.

Shabash!

Hey, a big hug and thank you to you, as well. I was half awake when I posted this and should have thought out (and pinged) some more of the countless people who a great "THANK YOU" is owed, you being a major one of them!!!

Jim's a visionary. He did the impossible, and did it with grace and gumption -- the unusually powerful combination needed to create FreeRepublic.

Congratulations, and thank you. FR played an important role in getting out the truth and facts, tearing down the lies and spin

Thanks to Jim and John!! Was able to check results all day from work, and then at night when the talking heads got to be too much. What a wonderful place I have found on Free Republic, where I have also learned from other Freepers, laughed at comments, cried at pictures and memories.

God Bless George W, Free Republic and the USA!

Thank you, RBA, for this post. Let's remind all Freepers once again what the Florida voters said about election 2000 yesterday: Bob Butterworth - Gore's Fla. campaign mgr. and Fla. AG during 2000 - LOST; Carol Roberts, PBC Dem. election worker who vowed to go to jail to keep counting - LOST; Katherine Harris, our heroic SOS - WON! - going to Washington as state Rep.; JEB BUSH - WON!!! - first Republican in Florida ever elected to two consecutive terms as Governor; Florida military voters, Florida Republicans, President Bush, America - WON!

God bless Jim and John and Freepers everywhere. (^:

Another word of thanks for this great website and all the wonderful red-blooded Americans involved with it, from the (unfortuntely) People's Republic of Illinois.

The election thread last night was priceless. It enabled me to avoid turning on the TV, which I was honestly afraid to do, because I knew I'd put my shoe through it watched the libs celebrate if the Rats had prevailed.

God Bless Jim and John and all you Freepers.

Our Country can now get on, as One Nation Under God!

Ops4 God Bless America!

A great reply, my conservative brother who likes Vanilla cokes:

"Stay tuned tonight to your network of record for the truth in the returns coast to coast, border to border, sea to deep blue, shining sea. This...is Free Republic."

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

CLASSIC VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing "We shall overcome". Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

Al Gore exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".

Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti- Grasshopper Act", retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: VOTE REPUBLICAN
