Jim Robinson, the owner of FreeRepublic, has a link to his statement of purpose for the site on the Home page (which can be accessed by clicking the text “FreeRepublic” in the upper-left of virtually every page on the site). The statement can be reached directly by clicking http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1103363/posts.
You'll notice he doesn't equivocate about his beliefs in God or otherwise.
My observation would be:
This site is not a service to “the public”, but a service “by a Patriot for the republic”. It's a gathering of like-minded individuals, sharing information and perspectives.
If you are not agreeable, then don't participate. If you involve yourself in unwanted ways (as defined by JimRob) you may be banned.
If you think you have a better way, you have the freedom to go create your own site. If JimRob considers it a valuable resource, he may link to it.
I have read Jim Robinson’s statement, and if you think I have viloated it, report me. I bcertainly believe in its principles.
wow, your post is quite a piece. Of what I won’t expound on.
