As Country Club Republicans Link Up With The Democratic Ruling Class, Millions Of Voters Are Orphaned
On January 1, 2013 one third of Republican congressmen, following their leaders, joined with nearly all Democrats to legislate higher taxes and more subsidies for Democratic constituencies. Two thirds voted no, following the people who had elected them. For generations, the Republican Party had presented itself as the political vehicle for Americans whose opposition to ever-bigger government financed by ever-higher taxes makes them a “country class.” Yet modern Republican leaders, with the exception of the Reagan Administration, have been...

Similarly the entire country class has as much interest in asserting the right of armed self-defense as does any gun owner, because the principle of constitutional right is indivisible. Nothing will require greater unity against greater resistance than ending government promotion of abortion and homosexuality. Yet those whose main concerns are with financial probity cannot afford continuing to neglect that capitalist economics presupposes a morally upright people. All this illustrates the need for, and the meaning of, a political party: disparate elements acting all of one and one for all.

Far be it from a party that represents the country class to ape what it abhors by imposing punitive measures through party line votes covered by barrages of insults: few in the country class’ parts want to become a ruling class. Yet the country class, to defend itself, to cut down the forest of subsidies and privileges that choke America, to curb the arrogance of modern government, cannot shy away from offending the ruling class’ intellectual and moral pretenses. Events themselves show how dysfunctional the ruling class is. But only a political party worthy of the name can marshal the combination of reason, brutal images, and consistency adequately to represent America’s country class.

As outlined above, my wife requires better availability of web connectivity and I can provide same at a much lower annual expenditure.
And nobody is stopping you from doing so, so go do it.
I also suggest you read the info on the FR Homepage. There are no promises made and you or your wife's connectivity requirements don't mean jack.
BTW, there is a link to the budget on the Homepage.
Any inherently competent community would require same.
If you think <99% (or 99.99%) system availability is acceptable, your understanding of current web capabilities is severely lacking.
Donate the equipment then, or the money for it, if it’s so damn important to you.
Or start your own site. Nobody is holding you captive here.
Country Clubbers may have made their peace with corporatism and a paternalist socialist state, but they were patriotic Americans. The current set of transnationalists have New Left beliefs.
Question Mr. “P”...
You’ve invested (donated) money to Jim and HIS website, right???
If so, I’m sure you could have, and should have raised this concern of yours in a thread of your own...
If not, then I am sure you really don’t have much credibility to critisize the technical/mechanical operations of Free Republic then, right???
I’m jus sayin’...
I actually don’t believe you should be banned, but if you are, your attitude/tone to those calling you on this nonsense (you started) is on you, not us...
We would have cetainly empathised with you on your concern if you had taken this to another discussion thread started by you...
I’m sure if anyone had interjected something off the OP’s thoughts, you probably would have had some heartburn about that...
Why are you being such a horses arse about this??? Is it simply because someone else called you on your usurpation of this thread...Just curious...
Nonsense? Why would the (formerly, according to some) premiere Conservative Website have a design that has less than 99% availability?
Why do sycophants think that that the current design/execution is acceptable for a budget of ~$400k/yr?
Where is the budgetary transparency?
Have you considered that you may have anal-retentive tendencies?
I don't have the time to devote to a website that claims to be representative of the best that the private sector can achieve but is not quite so.
There is nothing that can't be improved. FR has a ways to go in improving its functionality. It's not Rocket Science ;-).
My point is that I do better at home than FR does - given that it is no longer the hobby it was initiated as.
Anally retentive??? Really??? Is that what you’ve reduced yourself too??? Okey dokie...
You never answered the question, therefore, it is clear you never donated to this website in any significant form or fashion, so, since YOU do not like the performance, by all means go start yourself your own website...I wish your burden to be light in that endeavor...
Bye...
