To any and all new viewers and posters!
Please forgive us, the regulars of Free Republic.
You might have noticed we get bashed in the press a lot. We get called a lot of names. We have our credibility and our sanity questioned on a regular basis. Yet, we are all just average people, and in some cases (not me) exceptional people.
That being said, we also get infiltrated regularly by those who are diametrically opposed to our beliefs, and what we see as our rights as Americans and Free people. Those infiltrators have at some times led us astray, hurt our credibility and or caused wasted hours in research on tangents.
In the end we here are about a few solid principles.
The first of which is the truth. We may not agree on what that truth is all the time, and may get personally upset and having our views questioned. We are a passionate group! But ultimately we want the TRUTH.
We believe that the constitution is not an elastic document meant to stretch, bend or otherwise be manipulated other than by specific state ratified Amendments.
We believe in Freedom, and the freedom of those to have opposing opinions, and the freedom to mock the wholey heck out of them at will! This is America and we get to do that here.
So to those of you who are new and do not know us, we are good people who have been taught not to trust. Experience has taught us to question nearly everything.
So welcome! We are glad to have you here, you are each and every one, a blessing! Because each of you is one more person who now can see the truth of who and what we are, and perhaps find more in common with FReepers than perhaps you ever imagined. We are NOT what is portrayed in the press.
We are Americans who have an undying love for this Nation and her citizens and for Freedom!
Thats Free Republic!
Welcome!

I did a screen capture of your post and titled it “The Freepers Creed” albeit unofficial, it is the definition of Free Republic that I would choose to explain my addiction to anyone who does not understand. I have it saved and will rely on it in the future.
Thank you for your exceptional definition
