But worth every penny go back to du

I’ve read that site is run from a psychiatric ward :)

Rapture. I am waiting for Rapture.

I don't represent Free Republic and I'll let them answer that for themselves but you might want to check out their monthly budget here.

A budget of $30,000 a month does not seem excessive to me for the amazing breadth of content that is provided.

I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal which is part of a billion dollar corporation but I get more knowledge and information here.

Ah yes the ol “he don’t be thinkin like me so he’s a du’er!” shut up

[Rodamala]

I am still a FReeloader... but that will change soon, I am hoping.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Aren’t we all!

Thanks for the bump!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Can I get an AMEN?!

[publius911]

If all visitors, including trolls and foreign intruders were not allowed to post, and $1 a month or the equivalent could, that might make this place a lot more pleasant, and perhaps nudge many on the fence to make the modest sacrifice.
It would certainly take some of the pressure off from the quarterly ordeal.

Hey, the owner of this website told you to go make your own website.

Don't let the cyber-door hit you on the ars on your way out.

Buh...bye.

More then a Amen, I have a problem when I look on here and see how many do not give. I just cannot wrap my mind around that, and a lot of times it is people that use this site a lot. When I was young we did not have a car, when it was raining the neighbors that did, would stop by and give us kids a lift to school, when I came home my Mom would have some cookies are something baked for me to run over to their house with a big Thank you from her. Taught me some good upbringing and teaching. If you use the site and it brings you pleasure help out, it is costing someone something. Wow probably my longest post.

Everybody here that can afford a computer and internet service can surely afford $5 worth of support.

You do realize how offensive it is for you, or anyone, including the government to declare what others should be able to afford?

That many visitors are on the economic edge is not something most Americans are particularly eager to publicize.

Jim, Since I can't make the Texas Memorial Shoot, I am going to take ButThreeLeftsDo and Swordmaker's Challenge and Donate 100.00.

On Top of the 40.00 Per Month I am now Committed to F.R. :)

I only do it because I love F.R. and I want too. :D

[publius911]

But if everybody that comes here on a regular basis threw in maybe $5 a quarter ($20 a year), I don't think keeping the lights on would be much of a problem for Free Republic.

I totally agree with you, but I would hesitate to tell anyone that they are, or should be in that position.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, KC_Lion!! We’ll miss you at the shoot.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Long post and a great one!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

KC, you’re the best!

[Swordmaker]

Thanks KC_Lion. . . and I am sure Jim and FR thank you too. I know all the Mac Ping list members do as well.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, publius911!!
