Statement by the founder of Free Republic
Free Republic ^ | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/22/2004 6:22:17 PM PST by Jim Robinson

I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.


Statement by the founder of Free Republic:

In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.

Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.

May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

Jim Robinson

dear to whom it may concern:
I’m a slacker, and a [kidding(bomb thrower)], I would like to delete the return posts listings and wonder if you can tell me how. I’m anal retentive and get
frustrated seeing all the responses and my posts, not remembering why i thought why i did it (medical reasons for my confusion) but i’m a vet.

AMEN

Thank you for all you do!!!

I appreciate (and my blood pressure does too.) having a 'home' online among friends.

I used to try to reason with those on the other side of reality, but it is totally frustrating to try to reason with those afflicted with LS (Leftist/Liberal Syndrome).

God Bless

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jim Robinson for Free Republic. I’m a very soon to be Navy veteran who has “trolled” this site since 1999. I was on a Mediterranean deployment onboard the USS Bataan (maiden voyage) when I first stumbled upon Free Republic and have been hopelessly hooked ever since.

It took everything I had to not become a more active member because ‘I wore the uniform’ and felt I had a commitment to maintain a non-partisan public stance. Those days will be over on the 30th of June and I will be free once again after 25 years to voice my opinion in its entirety thanks to your forum.

Over the years I have come to know you all as family; sharing your joy, despair, anxiety, and angst. You have been a friend to me though I lurked in the shadows. You have given me solace in times of dread. You have given me hope when I thought all was lost.

I just can’t think of a better place to spend my time than among you all.

Jim,

I feel pretty ignorant for not having read this before I started commenting on the site... I feel enlightened to have read it.

I, like many other Americans, feel a sense of urgency for our country’s well being and that’s what you seem to be talking about here. I am very appreciative of the resource you are providing.

I started my website with much of the same intentions, but with little direction and have found myself quite happy to correspond with people of like-mind here (for the most part).

My hope is not in the government or in human nature, but in God or I would look at the current state of affairs and throw in the towel...

You and your site will hopefully encourage a lot of other people who love this nation to take hope.

I, for one, plan to help spread that hope.

Sincerely,

Gordon Greene

Thank you for being a voice of Hope and Change in a world full of liberals who promise hope and change, but cannot deliver. Check this out.

Be conservative.

Thanks, Mods. Did the post get forwarded to JR, or do I need to resend? Or, can you answer it?

We’re with you on this Jim, but some of the Mods don’t seem to be.

It’s not like I’m paying to be here, after all.

So typical of the mentality of the Obama Left. Always expecting something for nothing.

True, there is no requirement to "pay to be here", but those that can, do, in order to keep this message alive. The site owner doesn't have to accept you being here on your own mission to attempt to tear down that message with your Obama kool aid BS. It doesn't have to accept anybody being here in case you didn't have a clue how private blog type sites work.

Well some of us ARE paying - not just to "be here" but to support a crucial mission maintaining a core strength of conservativism, bringing together resources and a heck of a lot of talent and brain power with proven results. A place to focus dissent against Marxist oppression and bring opposition to the Marxist Juggernaut threatening our culture, way of life, values and beliefs in the very foundational things that made this nation great.

Enjoy your Zot.

I thank God for your bias! I am so thankful that FR is not and never will be “fair and balanced”. This has been a haven and refuge for me in the past ten years.

Thank you so much, Jim Robinson!
