Statement by the founder of Free Republic
Free Republic ^ | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/22/2004 6:22:17 PM PST by Jim Robinson

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.

Jim Robinson

You've obviously done well with the way you've done things to date. Just keep doing with this site what's in your heart, and it'll serve many.

If *I* were in charge, I'd not just zot disrupters, but delete their entire threads (if they started the thread). Just my FWIW....

But like I said, it's clear that you're doing just fine. :-)

AGAIN;--the Future of our Nation, Perhaps the Future of our Very Civilization--Our "Very Survival" rests on the ability of the Few Remaining Patriots in our Nation who STILL understand that the "Concept of 'America'" is SPECIAL!

"America" implies an "Intact Culture;"--a "Monolingual Entity" which is "Internally Coherent!"

"Americans" Speak ENGLISH!!--While a "Second Language" is "Laudable," the LANGUAGE of AMERICA is ENGLISH!!

Our LAWS are WRITTEN IN "ENGLISH!!"

ANY "Immigrant to America" who WILL NOT LEARN ENGLISH CANNOT PARTICIPATE in the Political Discourse of our nation.

"America" is an "English-Speaking Culture!!"---PERIOD!!

Sesue Hayakawa--a VERY WISE Man at UCAL Berkeley--once Stated that one's "Reality" is Dictated by the "Language one Dreams in."

In America, "Reality" is IN ENGLISH!!

To Retain a Viable, Coherent Society, we MUST HAVE a Single Language!!

NO SOCIETY has EVER SURVIVED "Multiculturalim."

The Time has Passed to "Credit" the UTTERLY PHONEY CONCEPT of "Multiculturalism" in America.

If our Nation is to Survive, we MUST be ONE NATION, ONE LANGUAGE, ONE CONSTITUTION!!

We're the BEST our Species has Yet Produced; we have an OBLIGATION TO "Continue!!"

Thank you Jim. I sometimes don't think your position regarding YOUR website ( what part of "private property" is difficult to understand?) is heard often enough - especially by the whiners; and I don't give a rat's ass what the liberals think. And it's a real good idea to keep them under close observation - they truly do not have our country's foundation and what we fought so hard to form to be a representative republic as what they have in mind for us under their pretense of "progressiveness" - and that's putting it mildly because it's family hour.

You have been providing a valuable service and a source of information and discussion that is unmatched and for that I, and many of us, are very thankful. Please keep up the good work. May God bless you, God bless the Free Republic, and God bless the United States of America.
