I agree. What's the problem with "foreigners"? We have lots of great "foreigners" here. Mad Ivan for one. As long as you are convervative, why be a small-minded bigot?

Don't forget about Atlantic Bridge. Some of our "foreigners" from Europe went through hell during the build up to the Iraq war, yet they are still stand and contributing.
Mad Ivan left.

I am trying to figure out what kind of small-minded American bigot lives in Berlin?
But let me talk about foreigners because I think this needs to be understood here. Free Republic is above all a political forum for Conservative Americans. I think political being the key word here. Therefore Free Republic should be for Americans. To be honest, if I wanted to talk to foreigners I'd go walk my dog right now. But for me the fact is I sign on FR specifically so I can express ideas and read other ideas from Americans. Yes, Americans.
So again, it's nothing personal. Of course there are many fine foreigners and someone should start a "WeCareAboutWhatForeignersThink" Republic and all those people can be happy over there, which I don't think many will be following. And to be honest, once you make Free Republic subscription-based there aren't gonna be many foreigners who want to pay so they would be leaving anyway. And if a foreigner wants to pay to stay on FR then at least that says something for them right from the start.
