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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #8

Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words.

Below are some randomly selected FR's Finest Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other FR's Finest Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we will be featuring them in future editions of Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages. Several have already been featured (see links below). If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear, Dansangel, dutchess or myself.

In the meantime, please take a look at Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages #8.

phelix is another talented Freeper with a beautiful Webpage which is linked on her Homepage - "simply a collection of flowers from my yard, my cats, my artwork and some poems and stories that are special to me. It means a lot to me to be able to share them here as part of my life...my blink within a dream." Do check out the lovely flowers. Spring is coming!

Mr. Mulliner, whose screen name was formerly Singapore Yank, has provided a recommended reading list of Christian Classics. In fact, he has nifty "bookshelf" with some of these classics. They are all in the public domain so can be freely downloaded. Just click on a title and start reading or print it out.

Mr Fowl's Homepage is devoted to the sport of water fowl hunting on the Delaware Bay. Everything from tide charts, to satellites, to navigational photos can be found here. And if you are not into water fowl hunting, have a look anyway. There is one particular link I enjoyed-one to the lighthouses of Delaware Bay. Also included are some good photos of his beautiful hunting dog, Bob.

Centurion2000 claims that his Homepage is under construction but believe me, it is completed enough to be featured here. Once you read this page, you will come away knowing plenty about this younger FReeper. He shares much of himself. He is picturered here at the Hawkwood Mideval Fanstasy Festival playing a character named Pox. Did I mention that he is interested in science fiction gaming?

Siobhan's Homepage features beuatiful religious art, mostly of Madonna and Child, with a poignant lead-in message from Mother Teresa on abortion, published in the Wall Street Journal in 1994. This message starts out "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and...."

Arkinsaw's Homepage provides a link to "The Cult of Scalia" - a wonderful site for all fans of Justice Antonin Scalia. Some of the magnificent opinions he has written are available on this site. Also links to two fine organizations are provided - Sons of Confederate Veterans and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning aeronaut. You haven't dropped off any White Castles in a long time. Someday soon? Now that McDonald's has healthied up their menu, a greasy WC is what my body craves, lol...

[daisyscarlett]

Guess I missed ya last night. And I do have lots and lots of pies that I baked for Weds. but did not get around to serving. Actually, they are a bit better after they "sit" awhile....So enjoy and share, okay?

[ohioWfan]

We understand today we wrestle mightily with principalities and powers of darkness, the evil one using man, striving to be greater than You, and ensnaring millions to do his bidding.

None are greater than You, Lord, and in the struggle for good to overcome evil, our sons and daughters are committed to ensuring others might be freed from them and all forms of oppression, whether that be in subjugation, hunger, imprisonment or worse, as individuals or groups of persons.

Thank you for the beautiful prayer, daisy!!

We are indeed involved in a spiritual warfare against the forces of evil, but our God is greater!! The battle belongs to the LORD!

[daisyscarlett]

Loved your essay yesterday. W is indeed very special...A man for his times.

[daisyscarlett]

[dansangel]

Mornin' {{{{{{{{{{{Budge}}}}}}}}}}!!

Hope you are having a terrific FRiday!! :-)

[daisyscarlett]

Cheer up, Meekie. It could be worse, you could be in Minnesota with minus zero temps and heaven only knows how low the wind chill factor is...

On the other hand, you could be in Fla, soaking up rays on the beach...

[daisyscarlett]

Since its Friday, how about some calorie-ladden donuts to go with that fresh perked coffee?

[Aquamarine]

Good morning all!
I'm looking so forward to seeing the flowers in the spring. The one good thing about living in a cold enviorment during the winter is that it makes one appreciate the springtime even more after suffering through a cold and icy winter.

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Ulysses S. Grant
3. Rutherford B. Hayes
4. James A. Garfield
5. Chester A. Arthur
6. Benjamin Harrison
7. William McKinley
8. Theodore Roosevelt
9. William H. Taft
10. Warren G. Harding
11. Calvin Coolidge
12. Herbert C. Hoover
13. Dwight D. Eisenhower
14. Richard M. Nixon
15. Gerald R. Ford
16. Ronald W. Reagan
17. George H. W. Bush
18. George W. Bush

The above is a list of all the Republican presidents of the US.
In response to a thread about the most admired president, the results of which I don’t believe is true. I think it was a set up!

So, of the list of Republicans who served and are serving as our nation’s leaders, who is the most admired and who was the best, I know they are from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, maybe I should categorize them that way.

1. Who is the best president of the 19th century
2. Who is the best president of the 20th century

Need I ask about the 21st century? LOL!

So question 3 is who was or is the best president in history?
This is just amongst the Republican presidents so you only have 18 men to look at.

[Pippin]

I meant to ping you to post #57.

A beautiful Friday is under way here, gray and white cotton balls floating in the sky...the far horizon is calm and silver blue....but, me? I'm in a fog, still half asleep, but, glad to be here for a cup of the Finest coffee.

Good morning to our Hostess babes, and to all my fellow Freepers...)
