I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

Good site, crappy admin moderators. Not a big fan of “gifts” to people who are so moronic.

“crappy admin moderators”
I think they do a hell of a job considering the dynamics of this site.
“Brown Noser!”
I could give two bubbling fish farts what the moderators think of me. I do think you calling them crappy was...well, a gut punch, considering what they have to deal with. You seem nice enough, so the gut punch didn’t make sense. You’re right about the Yahoos...and we can both agree they aren’t needed :)
Regards,
I am nice enough overall. Plus, I’ve been here since 2000, so respect your elders!
Oh no...the noob angle (lol) Get’s me every time ;)
Love it... thanks...
THIS.. IS.. SPARTAAA!!!!!! God Bless you Jim!
Excellent mission statement !...touches on everything we believe in and have fought for all these many years, mostly silently until now..Thank you Jim and Thanks for Free Republic.
How could anyone with a brain oppose.
Thank you Jim Robinson.
Hey! Watch of whom you speak! Them admin moderators are a bunch of nice, hard-working people who have our best interests at heart.
(But I am a little concerned about that other group of Sidebat moderators ....)
You have my sincere appreciation Mr. Robinson, for this site and especially for your service to our Country. This is a WE THE PEOPLE site and you are the "Man" of the evening.
So are the admin moderators. That's why us sidebar mods are only allowed to pack one of these:
I’m 100% with you.
My favorite place to hang out, thanks Jim.
Thank you, Jim.
And your reason for pinging me on this was?
