Free Republic

Since my registration on this site, January 15, 2004, I look forward to the New Year and my ninth anniversary with the finest conservative minds across the globe. It is this place that exhibits more generosity than every country combined. There is no finer place on the Internet. Over the course of 2013, there has been no better display of patriotism and Americanism than this beloved Red, White and Blue forum. Despite the claims of the world, FReepers celebrate the New Year, giving more than they receive. With the never-ending support of this web site, Free Republic will continue to...

The FR main page/display bug seems to have returned... ... No sidebar... Minimum first pages displayed Time to GIT-R-DONE.... (again)

So the fix to not filling page requests is near infinite response times on reading postings, posting response and some other features is to drag them out?Not much of an improvement.

Thanks for keeping things running smoothly throughout the Zimmerman show-trial and especially during the last couple of days. I couldn't even watch TV while the jury was out. I got all my info right here. Well done!

Today, I posted my 10,000th thread on Freerepublic. I thought some reflection was appropriate. When I found Freerepublic in 1998, it was as though I had found a gold mine of truth in a desert of lies and spiked news stories. You had to work to find the nuggets, but they were there, instead of the fool's gold constantly being peddled by the MSM to a propagandized public. Freerepublic became my home on the net. Jim Robinson, as a Californian, has done a great deal to make up for all of the horrible ideas that have come out of that...

Did the IRS ever strong arm FR and demand member lists?

The horrific events of this week should convince even you. No, we do not need to loosen our borders or our immigration policies. We need to tighten security and closely control who we allow to enter the country. Obama and the idiot Democrats are succeeding in their primary goal of bring capitalism to its knees. They WANT America to fail. They want capitalism to fail. Obama is a constitution-hating Marxist and his supporters wish to completely eliminate the constitutional limits on government and usher in their socialist utopia. And they wish to remove our borders and allow all their comrades...

The Southern Poverty Law Center has released its annual report on "The Year in Hate and Extremism," in which the organization estimates the size of the "extremist" threat. Since its count of hate groups has dropped since last year—the number went down from 1,018 to 1,007—the center is hyping a 7 percent increase in another category: what it calls "conspiracy-minded antigovernment 'Patriot' groups." The SPLC's definition of "Patriot" is pretty broad: The list ranges from the conservative websites WorldNetDaily and FreeRepublic.com to the Moorish Science Temple and its offshoots. The Moors, a black militant movement, are presumably included because they...

Well, looks like she's wigging out again. Anyone else having problems with the way the forum's displaying?

I just spent alot of time posting!I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.Pictured: Small BumpWhat happened?Well, someone set up us the bomb?I'm serious!Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.

First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.Then it gets marked.Okay, I have that much.Then the mods gather:Pictured, mods gathering.I don't think...

I am taking part in tonight's townhall with more than 2 dozens other (Black) Conservatives which will be hosted by Foxnews's Sean Hannity. The townhall, which was the brainchild of Deneen Borelli brought together (Black) Conservatives from all walks of life and is meant to show the American public that our community is not monolithic as many Americans have been lead to think and that there are Conservatives within the Black Community despite what the Liberal Left tells Americans. The following is a list of those Conservatives who took part in this first townhall: DR. BEN CARSON, BISHOP COUNCIL NEDD...

When I go to the Forum page, (on the left side) I get the last post entered on the topic threads instead of the intro post.

Hopefully, John will check his messages soon and get the problem fixed, but until then, the temporary workaround is to go to Account and My Preferences and set 20 messages per page and 20 results per page: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/settings Sorry about the problem, Jim

Thank you very much for the hard work. A day without FR is difficult.

WILLIAM RIVERS PITT wants to know what is happening at the Free Republic as you can see in his THREAD, "Has anyone checked out FreeRepublic yet?" Since all editions of the DUmmie FUnnies are quickly posted at the Free Republic, Pitt might find out way more than he would like. For example, he might find out about the heinous deeds of a certain Temporary SockPuppet. Or would he prefer to wait 24 business hours for a PARTIAL BIRTH NONAPOLOGY that attempted to explain away one of the biggest journalistic frauds ever perpetrated? A visitor to the Free Republic who...

Lateral Move December 2, 2012 Ed Driscoll “Al Jazeera is putting the final touches on a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore and his business partners seven years ago,” the New York Times claims: If the deal is completed, Current will provide the pan-Arab news giant with something it has sought for years: a pathway into American living rooms. Current is available in about 60 million of the 100 million homes in the United States with cable or satellite service.Rather than simply use Current to distribute its English-language channel,...

I lost my sidebars on FR, on both my computer and new fancy phone. They were there before, and as usual I hit everything, then they all disappeared! And I can't scroll down either. Once the scroll bar hits the end, that's it, I can't go down any further.

The 4th and final of the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates have come and gone for 2012. Here are the three things we can walk away with. - Romney can't lose a debate coin toss, going 3 for 3. Which of course means nothing. - Obama gets more moderated debate time, going 3 for 3 in the time column. Which of course means nothing. - Free Republic crashes before any debate and doesn't get back to normal until dawn the next day. I would like to state that I have been here since the 2004 election season. I can't lay...

I have to ask this very seriously, do you know that this site has been completely unusable to perhaps thousands and thousands of others during either the first Presidential or Vice-Presidential debate and for an hour or so after their respective conclusions? This has never happened in previous election cycles during debates, election night results or during large breaking news events. Slow? Yes. Unusable, no. I've had multiple tabs opened for the debates this year and the FR one just wheel spin, wheel spin, wheel spin... blank page, no progress bar moving on the address bar. It's just the internet...

Yet again, FR fails the big LIVE THREAD test.How does what is supposed to be the premiere conservative site on the 'net continue to fail?I would have expanded on this except it took forever to get this simple post through the muck and molasses that we have to wade thru on night's like this.
