Seems I have to re-post this from time-to-time as a reminder:
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, our liberty 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, thank you very much. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity and we are beholden to none. 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 loyal readers and participants who enjoy our forum and think its a worthwhile endeavor.
We aggressively enjoy and 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/progressive trolls, RINOS 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 GOD-GIVEN rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of Life.
Our God-given freedoms are not negotiable and not subject to debate!!
For God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty!!
If you cannot live with the above, fine, but keep your mouth shut about it while on FR. Don't fight against us on ANY of our deeply held beliefs!!
DON'T TREAD ON ME!!
And Paul Ryan doesn’t change who Mitt Romney is any more than Sarah Palin changed who John McCain was (and still is today).
AMEN Jim!!
How so?
Well over half of the FR posters will vote for Romney/Ryan.
I expect FR and the Conservatives in Congress to help keep President Romney in line, after the election.
It is entirely possible to support Romney/Ryan and still be, very much, the type of person that Jim is tell us this site was designed to serve.
Just a simple question. Can those of us who support the R&R able to state our opinions?
Almost all of us do NOT like Romney...however, Paul Ryan is a Tea Party member.
We believe he can not only thrust Romney into the center, but to the right, which is where our country belongs. We all know from 2008 and 2010, it will take a few elections to rid ourselves of all commies, marxists and RINOs.
I’ve noticed one individual who keeps tattle telling on any of us whom support Ryan, in regards to your previous thread.
Will we long time supporters be banned if we support R&R?
It amazes me when conservatives act like liberals and bad mouth people with whom they disagree. If someone wants to vote for Romney, have at it. But don’t slander others who aren’t voting for him. Especially on that person’s website. That’s the same as coming into my home and telling me what to do.
I voted for mccain and I feel like I REALLY wasted my vote. I won’t do that again.
Agreed.
I don’t think any Romney supporter accounts have been banned in some time except obvious trolls and some of those who asked to be banned.
Jim,
I am not sure I really like apple pie..oh my..will there be a zot?...Anyone but Obama!
You can be Leonidas at the gap, stopping the tyrant’s surge for a moment. Noble effort. I will stand at Plataea and secure his defeat...
Just a reminder.....Sarah dragged mclames butt over the finish line. We were 3 points ahead until mclame decided to “halt” his campaign to go and vote for TARP.
HE lost the election, despite everything Sarah did to win it.
....We aggressively enjoy and 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/progressive trolls, RINOS 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.

I never get tired of hearing/reading this, Jim. Thanks for defending those rights!
Cool, thanks for that. =)
Well said. I don't agree with my fellow conservatives who plan to vote Romney/Ryan. I don't agree with their reasons for doing so, but I do understand them, and I'm not going to excoriate them for their choice in four years if I'm right about Romney. And for their sake, I really hope that I'm wrong.
As someone who skims those threads, I can assure you that the “bad mouth people with whom they disagree” approach goes both ways with equal fervor.
Just my opinion.
You must be one of those “Romney People”, just like me.
Looks like we hit the big time.
I await Jim’s response to your Post. Perhaps we can car pool to Siberia if we get a thumbs down.
At the very least, it will be back to the Cars, Dogs, Guns and Kitten Threads for me. Posting on a Conservative Website while being Apolitical, how quaint.
Sorry pal. I am NOT a Romney person; however, I am a Paul Ryan one.
We ALL know it will NOT take 1 or 2 elections to get our party back. The fact Romney chose Ryan as VP states A LOT.
The fact Ryan accepted states A LOT.
The commies have infiltrated for years, while we the "sleeping giant" slept. IT IS OUR FAULT!
There is no perfect man who walks this earth. Paul Ryan will force Romney to the center right. He is not one to be reckoned with. If things do not go Ryans way, you can bet your bottom dollar he will RUN against Romney in 2016...if Romney does not get his butt back on track.
We have a lot of "undoing" to do. It will not take 1 election to do so.
Here! Here!
Unless you're calling for a waiter I believe that's "Hear, hear".
In case anyone missed the earlier thread:
Ryan is a good man, but does not redeem the abortionist/homosexualist statist Romney
