I donated to Free Republic during this freep-a-thon for the 1st time in about a year. Many of you who are close to me know that I had withheld my money because of problems I had with the way the Religious Forum was run.

I've decided that, whatever those problems might be, this is still the best and fastest news site on the planet.

You might look around today and discover that conservatism is in serious jeopardy. The last thing we need, after Rush's fall from grace today, is to injure another source of conservative news and comment. Despite your own feelings about the Calif. campaign, it did highlight some stress fractures in the conservative movement.

Here's what I decided about the Religion Forum.

When the big religious news of the past few months hit mainline news -- the ten commandments, the episcopal/gay issue (catholic gay issue, too), and religious concerns over the Calif elections -- there was not one effort whatsoever to filter that religious based news. It was on the Breaking News, Frontpage, Extended, Editorial, etc.

I discovered there are a HOST of Christians out there who have nothing to do with the religious forum AT ALL.

So.

I stand in support of Free Republic.com. I did start giving it my money again.

Wisdom should dictate that you do, too.

Well said, Xzins. I just made my pledge to FR as well.


Free Republic has become freer in the religion forum in the past few months. So I'll kick in some shekels.

I haven't been suspended in well over a month... :-)

Thanks a bunch for your renewal!

Dude, I am a non-religeous libertarian (though I believe very much in God), and am freeper number 39(?). If I am welcome, you are, believe me.

I know this causes heartburn, but this site is Freedom based. I am open to arguements, and use my brain.

The prodigal son returns? Lots of Christians outside the "ghetto." :') Of course I have to invite them to the NES though .

I encourage all of yall to set up a monthly plan. You'll get your money worth and more. I was going to add a 20 dollar one time donation this time but the FRS doesn't have my cc number. I loaned my card to my son. Guess I'm off the hook this time, huh? lol
