A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-18-02
Billie | Various Freepers

Posted on 11/18/2002 7:22:57 AM PST by Billie




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.

OutRAGEOUS Outtakes!!



A little something different today. Let's have some fun with a collection of outtakes from posters and threads of yesteryear; most of the threads are no longer available, and some of the posters long gone. Nevertheless, FR has always been a place where some of the darnedest things pop up at the darnedest times. :)
There are no links to the threads, though at the time these were first compiled, the threads were still active. All of the outtakes were taken from FRee Republic in 1998. Bill Clinton and Monica were hot topics, and sometimes the threads took on a life of their own when one poster made an off-topic post and others followed suit.....a little like the 'cheese' threads today. :) The infamous FReeper Island thread was born that way as well.
Are you ready?

MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS HERE ON FINAL OUTCOME

To: jayman


Reno calls out the military and surrounds the Federal Court House where the Grand Jury is sequestered. Suddenly, a tank slowly makes its way up the steps of the Court House and attempts to break through the front door. Seconds later, smoke begins to billow out of the building. Henry Waxman rushes in and charges members of the Grand Jury with smoking in a government building. Marcia Lewis is taken away by ambulance, suffering from smoke inhalation. Monica is taken away in Vernon Jordan's limo, suffering from just plain inhalation. William Ginsberg escapes to the Hyat Regency, booking himself into the Presidential Suite, and Sidney Blementhal is caught with his pants down, leaking once again.

There are more, but I see some of you are starting to yawn, and some may be saying, "Who ARE these people?!" Still others, like me, have been here forever, so we've seen FReepers come and FReepers go! Good ones and bad ones, funny ones and serious ones...some we wish would never leave, some we wish would....  :)
And, uh, one more thing.....

You are so right, jwfiv. There are definitely those here at FR that serve to remind me that every cloud has a silver lining!!

"The Liberal Lie"
(To be sung to Don McLean's "American Pie")

A long, long time ago, Bill could still remember
How his Sweet Sax used to make them smile,
And he knew if he had his chance,
That he could make those suckers dance,
And maybe he could fool 'em for awhile.
But Whitewater's a nasty river,
Those sordid scandals made the Left shiver.
With John Huang his Lead Sales Rep,
Dem Chinese funds Bill'd collect.
I can't remember if I cried,
When I learned the extent Slick Willie'd lied,
But something touched me deep inside, the day Clintonism died.
So, Bye-bye to the DemonRAT's Lie,
Drove our country to bankruptcy, but our wallets ran dry.
Teddy and his boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye,
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die! This will be the day that I die!"

Are you one of "The Ignorant"?!
And do you have faith in government, 'cuz Bill Clinton tells you so?
And do you believe Gore didn't know?
Will God forgive Janet Reno...for the twenty-seven dead kids at Waco?
Well, I know that you're in love with Slick,
But his Administration makes me sick!!
Your votes allowed this ruse, ma-a-an, you gotta be feelin' used!!
Bill's just a middle-aged, cocksure schmuck,
Lookin' for redemption and some whores who suck,
But he knew he was outta luck the day his intern LIED!
I started singin'...
"Bye-bye to the Liberal Lie, drove our culture to the gutter,
But Left's "One-World" was Vile!"
And DemLeftWingFools were kneelin'..."Slick's still our guy."
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die! This will be the day that I die!"

Now for ten years, we've dealt with his sleaze,
While Bill's grown phat on funds Chinese,
But that's not "The Way Things Ought To Be"!
Then, Mudboy sang 'gainst the King and Queen,
With a strength derived from livin' FRee,
In a voice crying out for Liberty!
And while RAT'sKing was feelin' down, good FReepers run him outta town.
The Left Wing was concerned, Left's Icon had been spurned.
And while Hell'ry read her book on Marx,
Vince Foster's corpse ditched in the Park,
Still we smoked ceegars on a lark, the day the Networks lied!
Mudboy's singin'...
"Bye-bye to the Socialist Lie,
Drove the needy to addiction while they smoked to get high!"
And them UnionThugs were drinkin' whiskey and rye,
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die!
This will be the day that Slick fries!!!"

Senate hearings in a Summer swelter,
John Glenn provided Clinton's fall-out shelter,
He once flew high, now he's fallin' fast.
LeftistWhore'd can kiss my ass! While DemonRATS cry, "Just give Bill a pass",
Since Ol' Slicks' just gettin' hummers from some "Lass"!
Next, the LeftWing arrogance resumed,
While Fleetwood Mac played a vacuous tune.
The Left got up to dance! Oh, but Right never gave'em a chance!
'Cuz as the Lib'ral's tried to take the field,
John Ashcroft's staff refused to yield!
Do you recall how FReedom feels? Today Fascism died!
We kept on singin'...
"Bye-bye to the Clinton-Gore spies,
Drove their cronies to be Felons, but we know who ain't Right!"
Network Media twits, they just continued to lie,
Singin' "This'll be the day that we die!
This will be the day that we die!"

Oh, it's Reality the Left cannot face,
Spoiled generation lost in space,
With no time left to start again!
So, come on! Bush, be nimble, Dick, be quick!
DemonRATS, ya gotta dump this prick,
'Cuz next election's only just around the bend.
For as I watched Bill up on that stage,
My hands were clenched in fists of rage,
Took this Redneck Mad as Hell to break Bill Clinton's spell!
And as Mankind flew high and to the Right,
To fight the libertarian fight,
I saw Reagan laughin' with delight, the day Marxism died!
Ol' Ronnie's singin'...
"Bye-bye to the Liberal's Lies,
Drove our country to the Devil, but Slick Willie, HE LIED!!"
And BillzaBubba's drinkin' whiskey and rye,
Singin' "This'll be the day I RESIGN! Gosh, I sure wish I'd have just RESIGNED!!"

It seems the Media's a bit confused,
So I urge you, ignore the Network News,
That's why their marks are down to stay.
As citizens, we deserve more than lies obstructin' crimes galore!
But Rush Limbaugh knew, "The Truth will win the day!"
And in the streets, the children gleemed,
The lovers sighed and the poets dreamed...
'Cuz Liberalism's chokin', the Far Left's hold's been broken.
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,
They raised their glasses for a toast, the day Clintonism died.
And they were singin'...
"Bye-bye to the Liberal's Lies,
Drove our Country to the Devil, but Bill Clinton, HE LIED!"
And Liberals're drinkin Kool-Aid and Lye,
Singin' "History'll say that Slick LIED! History'll know that Slick SPIED!"

Don was singin'...
"Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry."
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye,
Singin', "This'll be the day the Left dies!
This'll be the day Justice's THINE!!!"

FReep On, Good Patriots, FReep On!!

MUD

P.S. When I get back, look fer some jammin' new tunes by U2, the Doors, the Who, and others...I write my best stuff while on vacation!!

I loved all the humor that came forth from the old Whitewater Days.

At the risk of a "knuckle-rapping" from the Net Nanny, the very first article I posted was a report I heard by Brian Williams on PMSNBC.

It was at the time that the Cox Commission issued their report of Clintoon's China sellout. Williams reported that Rep. Chris Cox and Norm Dix were going to be meeting with Clinton. I just titled the article the way Williams presented it on the tube - "Cox and Dicks to Meet with White House." You can use your imagination as to how some creative thinkers on FR responded to the title. :)

Lodwick. Thanks for adding the link to Billie's Presidential Pictionary. I must have missed it back then.

Billie. Really enjoyed the Pictionary and looking forward to seeing your dogs!

dansangel,OWFan. Yes the bucks won and are undefeated. I'm known in these parts as a dieheart University of Michigan fan so I got a standing ovation at my Rotary meeting today when I announced that I would be rooting for the Bucks against Michigan this Saturday. These kids deserve to go all the way this year PLUS Ohio State has a great new coach who has restored intregity to the team.
