No, I read the WSJ and others without giving contributions as well, because they have advertisers.
Do you send money to Fox news?
are YOU a taker?
Last count, which was 2 nights ago, since 1994 we have given over 16k t FR, add it up. Are you a taker?
We won’t give anymore, because FR is bought and paid for by Apple and other outside entities.
FR made a business decision to take corporate money over private donations.
Jim R has to live with that decision.
As opposed to ten years ago, FR is NOT the only conservative, nor the MOST conservative game in town, far from it.
We will spend our money where it makes the most sense.
FR is focused on tearing down conservative candidatures. There are more articles here against walker, cruz, rubio or whoever, than there are against clinton.
i noticed this in the last election.
FR is a stalking horse, made to create talking points AGAINST conservative candidates.
Paid for by apple, via swordswallower and venus beam or whetever his other moniker is.
I was banned last night because I says “Gaypple”. Apple is gay, and that’s the way it is. FR is more concerned with it’s Apple revenue than it is about espousing conservative ideals.
Ban Away
If you see me banned, you will know the truth, never in my decade here would I ever imagine I would have been banned for calling Apple Gay,. They boycotted a whole f’in state. But to mention that will get you banned.
I am sure I won’t be here tomorrow after this post. There is too much gay money involved.
Rant On.
You’re getting a bit carried away. Your account was restricted last night because you were harassing a fellow FReeper.
And for the record, we have no advertisers and we take no “corporate money.” Swordmaker posts articles that he and his ping list members enjoy reading. I sincerely doubt he’s paid to do so and I can guarantee you that I am not. You may ignore the threads you don’t like if you wish.
FR is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution grassroots conservative site. Always has been, always will be. We are 100% pro-God, pro-life, pro-traditional marriage and 100% opposed to the homosexual agenda. Abortionists, homnosexualists, et al, are zot on sight.
We support conservative causes and candidates.
But if you feel FR is no longer your cup of tea, please do the adult thing and change the channel. If you decide to stay and post as a conservative, fine. But if you decide to post like a troll, your account will be treated accordingly.

That's a very curious statement.
1. FreeRepublic didn't exist in 1994. It was founded in 1996 and wasn't official until 1997.
2. FReeper esoxmagnum was birthed on 2004-09-15, a little over a decade ago. Hardly 1997, and certainly not 1994.
So could esoxmagnum perhaps have meant "2004" not "1994"?
Are you about stone-cold crazy, or just nucking futz???!?
