Before anyone uninformedly opines that “It’s not for sale!”, let me point out the basic tenet of Capitalism, that EVERYTHING is for sale, it only is a matter of price. Support that which you value lest it go away abruptly. I say these things with a heavy heart as this site is precious to me and I am giving to the limit of my strained finances. I hope others consider their positions regarding FreeRepublic here as well.
Drudge didn’t go so well after other interests took over. Could it happen here?

You got me there. I thought this was from the Bee!
I am a monthly contributor BTW.
Either the number was a total fraud or FR has the largest group of destitute readers on the planet.
I'll continue to donate but like many of the other FReepers that have gone the the great beyond, my time is closing, so good luck with the fund raisers but I still think that there should be a small usage fee.
If not for Free Republic - Paid Bot Posters - Fake UMC Mom - Maximoose -and all the rest of the fake Ukrainian Cheerleaders would have no where else to post and get paid.
Part of the problem is folks are naturally afraid to speak freely because of the current Communist legal environment. So they are also naturally self regulating their own participation and in turn donations as an unfortunate side effect of this self regulation. And they have just cause to worry, we are now in an environment where what you have said, say now, or say in the future can and WILL be used against you at some point. It is the direct result of Communist governmental suppression and monitoring of free speech. It is now a real risk and folks are being cautious and unfortunately the FR is taking a hit because of this justified caution.
That mean it will soon be ok to post pics of Mickey and Donald doing 69s?
