Free Republic is quoted in the news; has exposed the fraud of the Lamestream Media (so long Dan Rather); is a focal point of discussion of all things Conservative; is treated with respect by Conservative Media Giants like Rush, Fox News and Tony Snow.

Yet FR is not the White House or a rich media company or someone's hugh and series tax write-off. It exists because of the integrity of JimRob, the delicate balance between open and honest debate on the one hand and keeping those who go out of bounds with scatological or otherwise inappropriate comments at bay on the other, and the contributions to fund the site.

These contributions aren't from a few fat cats. That's the liberal way. True conservatism comes from the hearts and minds of ordinary Americans who love our country passionately and give of themselves to maintain its strength against those who would do us harm.

So it is up to every one of us to do our part and keep JimRob's Resource of Truth burning brightly as a beacon for America. Were it not for the existence of FR and the comments of Freepers watching an attempted journalistic coup d'etat, Dan Rather might have gotten away with his lies and the damage may well have placed John Kerry in office -- with what result for the War on Terror, the Supreme Court and our basic rights that the Left hold in contempt?

A small contribution - even $10 - helps. Better yet make the decision so many of us have and become a monthly contributor. Think of all of YOUR tax dollars the Federal Government misspends every year -- in many cases for programs most of us abhor. Then think of how just pennies per day can help make a real difference in the future direction of our great nation. Where else can you spend so little and get such a benefit helping to support Conservatism -- and always have fun doing it?

Give. Generously. Please.

Noah in 2005

In the year 2005, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.

Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans."

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.

"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by buildi! ng the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.

They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact s! tudy on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.

Immigration and Naturalization is checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work.

The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.

So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"

"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

I could only do a very small amount this time. Will do more come payday! :)
