Free Republic

Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel   O most holy Virgin, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, you are the joy of the Church Triumphant, the help of the Church Militant, and the comfort of the Church Suffering. Therefore, extend, we pray you, your merciful glance on those numerous souls who suffer in the fires of Purgatory and free them, that they may be admitted to the beatific vision of God as soon as possible. Remember O holy Virgin, to help especially those of my relatives, and those who are most abandoned and devoid of help. O most merciful...

While Jim Robinson is away for medical treatment, how about we talk about him? I'll start it off by first saying how grateful I am for this wonderful FreeRepublic.com he invented and maintains. I've met not only Jim and Sheila and John and Chris, but hundreds of Freepers, brilliant, amazingly wonderful people (including my husband) solely because of FreeRepublic.com. Let the fun begin........

Jim Robinson is in surgery today and the last thing he needs to be worried about is whether or not the freepathon is going to continue for another day/week/month. In the words of "Larry, The cable guy"... LETS GET 'ER DONE!!

<p>It’s been a long time since I last posted an article, but John Robinson’s latest version of FreeRepublic has me inspired. I have seen so many compliments and complain about the latest and greatest forum software, that I thought it might be a good time to take a look back.</p>

Merry Christmas to Jim Robinson and family! Perhaps members of Freerepublic can put some presents under his tree. Maybe Jim Rob would want something from this page: The Freeper Store(Note FReeper Stuff is an independent and separate organization and is not owned or controlled by Free Republic, LLC) I imagine he has a Pajama Patrol badge... Maybe he would like a solid conservative Republican to win the 2008 Presidential Election? Or our troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to victory parades in 2008? Or additional support for: Operation Infinite Freep Of course, one can always send money to... Free...

Birthday Greetings and God Bless ... to Jim from all of the grateful family at Free Republic.

Happy Birthday Jim! Thank you for FreeRepublic.com!!

<p>THE Dixie Chicks' biggest detractor, FreeRepublic.com founder Jim Robinson, declined to appear in their documentary, "Shut Up and Sing."</p> <p>Robinson's rep, Kristinn Taylor, confirmed he ducked the interview: "He told me to go ahead and do it."</p>

See for example this thread first. Free Republic is now 10 years old! (A thought that leaves liberals COLD.) So come join the mob (and honor Jim Rob) --if a newcomer may be so bold.

Saturday July 22, 2006 the Freeper Motorhome (60' with Hot Tub on the top) arrives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.The Robinsons arrive at the Ronald Reagan Library on Saturday. FR Security Personnel (in sunglasses left rear and under FR hat in foreground left) check area as Jim and family enter facility. Jim and Shelia Check out the Library.

The Minutemen will be starting the first leg tomorrow, led by FReeper Lyman Stucky's patriotic pace car. We want the borders sealed! Allegiance is not an option! Citizenship Requires Allegiance-- if you refuse to pledge and prove Allegiance to The United States Of America and OUR Flag, Where, WHERE, IS your Allegiance? -- FReeper Lyman Stucky (The Spirit Of Allegiance), May 1, 2006 Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. -- Theodore Roosevelt Hi, Fellow Americans and Neighbors. I'm glad you're here. I own and drive The Spirit Of Allegiance...

Just a reminder: Free Republic is a conservative site. We fight for conservative principles, values and causes. We defend the Constitution. We defend our borders. We defend our God-given rights. We are opposed to the liberal/socialist/Marxist agenda for America. We do not willingly give up ground to the Marxists. It's true that the illegal immigration issue is very discouraging, and I don't know if anyone has a solution that will appeal to conservatives and yet manage to get by Democrat obstructionism, ie, a filibuster, but I don't see that as any reason to give up everything. We should not allow...

The operator of FreeRepublic.com has had little to say of the MD4Bush mystery -- until now. WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team lead investigative reporter Jayne Miller reported the operator of FreeRepublic.com holds the biggest clues to the identity of the Internet user MD4Bush. They include e-mail accounts and electronic log-in information. The operator of the conservative Web site has not yet spilled all the beans, but he has made it clear that he believes he owes nothing to MD4Bush in terms of protecting privacy. In a lengthy posting early Thursday morning, Jim Robinson, the operator of the California-based FreeRepublic.com, explained why...

Free Republic is a longtime hangout for me and sometimes things get pretty interesting. The current big story has all the complexity and treachery of a Russian novel.In October of 2004, a Freeper who goes by the handle of MD4BUSH began making posts on Free Republic urging Republicans to "play dirty" in the 2004 election. MD4BUSH represented himself as a staunch Republican. He lured another poster named NCPAC into his confidence and then posted alleged private "freep-mails" between the two. MD4BUSH baited  NCPAC into discussing sexual rumors about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley. When MD4BUSH brought the exchanges to the attention of the...

Ryan O'Doherty, a former communications director for the Maryland Democrat Party has been implicated by emails to party members hours before the Washington Post story which started the whole Steffan/MD4Bush/MOM smear saga. Details will emerge later tonight on WBAL radio.

MIDI - LAST KISS (oh where oh where can my baby me....remember?) In vans and cars in New Mexico...they still have a long way to go They're patriotic and our troops they support They say that they're determined that the lefties they're gonna thwart The old Thomas Guide maps have been hard to read So Stevie Wonder says he'll lead He swears he knows the right way The group concludes it must be okay No big surpise when he takes a wrong turn Some in the group know they've been burned The desert heat has dulled their mind Like...

FreeRepublic – an online community "I had not been all that politically active prior to President Clinton's election," Robinson recalls. "Yes, I complained about government and politics just like everyone else … but politics was not particularly high on my list of priorities – until Slick came along." Robinson saw that the Clintons had brought a new and dangerous level of corruption to American politics. He could no longer remain aloof. "I knew that the newspapers and news media were lying and I knew that government had been encroaching on our individual rights and that our politicians were as corrupt...

I have been suspended for my views in the past. I may be suspended for my statements in the future. I don't try to offend, but it happens often. Don't take it personally... BUT, I just wanted to say thanks, Jim, for allowing me, and us, to have a place to vent, with like-minded, yet sometimes opposing views. Wow, that's a concept, isn't it. People that don't agree on everything. But, most here are people that see things more clearly than the majority, it seems. People here are able to discuss issues of the day. We are able to find...

<p>Once again, thanks to all the donors who made this possible! Some donations came in late, so if I missed anyone, please chime in!</p>

Thanks to Jim Rob and the FR team for getting the server back on line.We all appreciate this forum!

One evening last autumn, I sat long hours with a European acquaintance while he expounded a politico-economic doctrine which seemed sound as a nut and in which I could find no defect. At the end, he said with great earnestness: ``I have a mission to the masses. I feel that I am called to get the ear of the people. I shall devote the rest of my life to spreading my doctrine far and wide among the populace. What do you think?'' An embarrassing question in any case, and doubly so under the circumstances, because my acquaintance is a very...

Happening in Houston Reported on KSEV, Houston, The Voice, Jon Matthews show...

<p>Al Gore says he was terrorized by "busloads of people" organized by the Republican Party, protesting outside the vice presidential residence during the 2000 Florida presidential recount.</p> <p>In an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC, Mr. Gore talked about the "the organized chanting round-the-clock," and said: "Well, this was the Republican response to what was happening during that 36-day period, and they organized busloads of people that came and stood outside the house all day and all night screaming at the top of their lungs."</p>

We can't say "Thank You" enough for your hard work and efforts. We know the results of the elections last night was a personal goal for you as indicated by many of your posts, as well as one of the goals of FreeRepublic, and you worked hard towards that end.Congratulations, and thank you. FR played an important role in getting out the truth and facts, tearing down the lies and spin, in spite of the odds from Dems, disruptors, AF'ers and those on other sites whose goal it was to derail you.
