Free Republic

Just wanted to start a thread in General/Chat to throw out a God Bless and the wish of a Happy Thanksgiving to all of us here at Free Republic. For those of you here who may not be celebrating - or cannot celebrate - this grand, blessed day with friends and family, remember that your virtual friends and family are right here and in our thoughts, prayers, and conversations. We'll all be online at some point, so go grab a Cracker Barrel Country Fried Turkey carryout, shout out your name, and we'll invite you into our lives and homes on...

Here, I'll go first...lolol:

This goes out to all the Illinois Freepers --- at least those of us who are left. Are there any besides Lurker and I? The purpose of this thread is to find out who's left here in this Socialist Hell-Hole run by Fat Boy JB Pritzker, the puppet of Mike Madigan. Let's get together, enjoy a few adult beverages and brainstorm about our plans to either get the hell out of this state, or participate in saving it during the next election. I personally think this state is lost and we should drink ourselves to oblivion and get the hell...

Hey Freepers, I have Breaking News on the left and Front Page News on the right. I used to follow activism but since the days of Walter Reed and then Trump Rallys, just not seeing much content, which is WRONG! "Articles", all the time. I've only been out here since '98, so looking for more advanced set ups. Some people find and post to articles that are days old. I have no idea how they find older relevant content. Feel like I'm not getting the most our of my account settings. Interested in how you all do it. Maybe a...

I am a baby boomer (born 1950). I have the impression that most Freepers are baby boomers or older. Am I right? What generation are you in? When were you born?

IT'S TIME. We need to stop talking and act. A march on Washington DC by We the People, the Trumpers, those of us that voted for him! I'm thinking in Early September--Labor day or there abouts.

Have to replace carpet with hardwood or laminate. If you can help or know someone please email me. Thanks!

I signed up in 1998 and posted a few minutes later, I have encouraged others to do so lately and all they are experiencing are roadblocks. What are the current rules for new sign -ups as for responding and posting? Thanks

WASHINGTON Federal investigators are examining whether far-right news sites played any role last year in a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories — some fictional — that favored Donald Trump’s presidential bid, two people familiar with the inquiry say. Operatives for Russia appear to have strategically timed the computer commands, known as “bots,” to blitz social media with links to the pro-Trump stories at times when the billionaire businessman was on the defensive in his race against Democrat Hillary Clinton, these sources said. Russian President Vladimir Putin is accused by the FBI of ordering a...

<p>Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP/VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT MIKE PENCE and AMERICA: Government, Family, Military, Business, Education, Churches, and the Media.</p> <p>Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.</p>

I along with many other here march with the Tea Party in DC on 9/12/2009 and we remember the huge turnout. We left the place cleaner than when we got there. It's quite a different story with the recent Woman March On DC.

I just want to tell Jim Rob and my wonderful Freeper family that I am very, very thankful for you all. Your intelligence, cleverness and incredible sense of humor helped me stay informed and smiling during this last very stressful presidential election. I love you all, have a blessed and enjoyable Thanksgiving! XOXO

https://www.c-span.org/video/?162547-1/post-inaugural-victory-brunch An hour and 12 minutes of fun on 2-11-01 in Clovis, CA with JimRob and a C-SPAN broadcast. If you are interested, I had the honor of presenting mocking awards just before the one hour and one minute mark. Yes, I actually did call Hillary "Daughter of Satan" on C-SPAN. Fast forward to today and I suspect that those who thought such was over the top can now agree.

President Trump stated on the campaign trail that he is not going to hire those with the perfumed 'elite' resumes. He is going to hire those that are in tune with the American people, from the people, and one of the people. I think there are plenty of Freepers to recommend. LIST THEM HERE!

FReepers are a special kind of people. The first FReeper, was a man named Jim Robinson.  Seeing things take place in our nation that he knew were wrong, he decided to develop an internet site where patriots could gather and network to effect change.  In a short period of time there were literally thousands of people who had joined him.  Many were joining him in Washington, D. C. to let our leaders know, we weren't happy.  Today those people are known as FReepers and they do something no other site requests of it's members.  They voluntarily pay to support the...

A Call to Action ! Fellow Freepers, Fellow Citizens. Please allow me to ask a favor of all of you on behalf or our country. It has been but little more than a few hours since Donald J. Trump gave his speech accepting the Republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States. No doubt many of you were as moved as I was by a man who genuinely loves America and is not afraid to stand up in front of the world and proclaim that love. If this was a rational and sane time in our nation's history that...

I see some NeverTrump Freepers are back, posting articles almost like clockwork. Is this some paid trolling going on? Is it some psych-op for the GOPe Uniparty? Using FR as a place to foment conflict/hone the Establishment's arguments against Trump and real conservatives and/or Christians? No one has the time to be posting as many articles in a day these people are posting without getting paid. Sorry. I think it's an "op" against FR.

Regrouping JANUARY 22, 2016 ~ CONSISTENTCONSERVATIVES This is an emergency means for us to keep in touch with our FRiends, who are real Conservatives, in case of purging. Or, if there is no purging, do we really want to continue our discussions in the forum where the owner despises us for not supporting his non-Conservative candidate? My purpose is to figure out what to do to continue our discussions to advance Conservatism.

This post is a long time in the making, and spurred on by the significance of today's date (July 4th!) and a recent post made by ETL about the Revolutionary War series (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3307499/posts). (I'm a first-time poster of a thread, so hopefully got this down right!) While I’m busy watching the very first episode of this excellent historic series, on this night of July 4th, 2015, as fireworks go off in the distance, and seeing graphical representations of events leading up to our own Revolutionary War (such as the turning of Franklin’s political sensibilities toward the American cause while in...

I would love to patronize Freeper-owned or conservative-owned businesses online and brick-and-mortar stores. Are there any Freepers who own one or could point me in the right direction? I wish we had a "Classified Ad" thing here on FR.
