I have heard this place referred to from time to time in other places. The generally left wing media does not seem to like you, they call you a right wing hate site. So I figured that I just had to check this place out. I figured I could leave in a hurry (use the back space button or just close the browser in the case of pop up windows harassing me on my way out) if I didn’t like it.
It is nice to find a place where you can read things and say things that you don’t get to see mentioned or discussed in the mass media.
I am absolutely delighted to find a place that speaks highly of Sarah Palin. The media just slams her 24/7, showing how controlled it is and that they must fear her and the support she has.
Looking around I would guess there are lots of typical good old boy types around here, but these are the type of guys that are the ones that know how to treat a lady with respect, even if they are silly at times (boys will be boys).
I see that there are a number of wives and mothers who post here, so it appears that this is a woman-friendly place.
I have checked into here from time to time. And I found that I was spending more time reading the articles and the comments posted here as time went on. Finally the desire to post something just got the better of me. I guess some of the things that bother other people bother me too, and I just wanted a place to vent.
I am getting sick of things going from once nice to now not so nice, things going from from bad to worse and everyone in any official capacity talking all around the subject but never having the guts to mention exactly what the real problems are, to political correctness that says evil is good and you better learn to get comfortable with it, but if you quote the bible you are using hate speech.
I guess that is the best summary I can give as to why I first came here to check it out, and then spend more time here, and finally signed up yesterday.
I am glad to be here among you, Free Republic seems to be composed of fine, thinking conservative people, as shown by the respect and admiration for Sarah Palin. I am so sick and tired of hearing that she is un-qualified and un-electable by everyone (it seems) in the mass media by those who obviously have an agenda to discredit her.
After posting something the fist few times I got a message that my posting was awaiting review, but I am not getting that after hitting the Post button now. So I guess I passed the test.
I guess the ZOT and Viking Kitties is how you get rid of idiots who come here to cause disruption? I guess when you become popular you attract all kinds of attention seeking idiots. Might as well make fun of them as you kick them out the door.
Myself, I simply ignore idiots. Although in real life I might make a mention to someone who I think is young and not aware of some things, but if they don’t consider or heed my advice then at least I figure that I have done my bit and tried to protect them.
Again, welcome to FR Ms. Kim. There are various ping lists also , you can find a group of like minded folks and ask to get on theor ping list.
I am on one run by Freeper LucyT. The list has some great conservative women on it, Fred Nerks being one of the most prominant of intellectuals on the entiore site.
It will take a while to see your way around, but don’t be afraid to ask to join a ping list, they keep you up to date on the things you may find you’re interested in, often way ahead of the news outlets.
As Candor stated previously, we are a varied crew here, and you will find out as you go, that no matter what the subject, both intelligence and humor shine brightly on Free Republic.
We are the home away from home where there is always someone to “talk” to whether it’s noon or the middle of the night...like me, for instance.
If you want or need a hug or a prayer, we have that too.
Welcome to FR.
