Received yet another complaint from a prior donor:
"The thread about who is a troll tells lots. FR is not welcoming to newbies. But the younger generation of potential conservatives has to be heard. Conservatism is changing, and we need openness, even when it challenges.
My son as well as me was a previous supporter of FR, but he quit; these guys are extremists, and they can not win elections via labeling. In 10 years the whole debate about stem cells will be as ridiculous as the debate about baby carriages.
In 10 years most of us 1999 Freepers will be dead. If I posted this, I would be banned as a troll. So I am inactive and leave FR with regretss for what FR has become.
I move my support to Darwin Central and Liberty Post."
[name redacted]
Well, I just don't know what to tell you. FR will remain a pro Life and Liberty conservative site. It's true that government schools have brainwashed the last couple of generations of our youth into believing that abortion, homosexual marriage, universal health care, global warming, open borders, big government, big spending, high taxes, etc, are perfectly normal and healthy for our citizens and our "democratic" society, but I just cannot bring myself to go along with all that liberal mumbo jumbo.
One more time: FR is pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-constitution, pro-traditional values, pro-small government, pro-defense and pro-America.
We oppose RINOism, liberalism, feminism, homosexualism, socialism, Marxism, globalism, fascism, communism, pacifism, government enforced atheism, anarchism or any other form of tyranny.
We fight for LIFE and Liberty and our religious freedoms as well as all of our other God-given unalienable rights. What God has given, no man, no government can rightfully take away. Our individual rights are not negotiable! Thank you very much!
Sorry, but I'm simply not interested in running a website dedicated to electing RINOs or turning the GOP into democrat-lite. If that means our fundraisers take longer or our donations dry up, then we'll find some other way to fund our operations. But we traditional conservatives (extremists to you) will continue fighting the good fight!
I will agree with you on one thing though. Those who feel FR should be more tolerable to the liberal point of view or that conservatism is changing and we should adapt to be electable are probably on the wrong website. Conservatism does not change, weak-kneed RINOS do.
Conservatism does not change, weak-kneed RINOS do.

Sorry, you cannot take God and religious freedom out of the Constitution. America was founded on freedom of religion by a religious people and Americans have fought many wars to defend and secure this freedom. These men recognized the “self-evident” truth that all men are created equal by their Creator and endowed with certain UNALIENABLE rights, including the rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution was written to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Just one of our rights expressly protected is the right to religious freedom. If you can remove God and religious freedom from the Constitution, then you can remove any of our other “unalienable” rights as well. If government has the power to take any of our unalienable rights it wants, then it is a totaliatarian government and we no longer have Liberty. And of course, this is exactly what nonconservatives want.
Conservatives fight to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution, our Liberty, our individual freedoms, our sovereignty, our nation, our families, our right to self-government, our right to religious freedom and our traditional American heritage.
Homosexual marriage is a direct affront to religious freedom and an attack on our traditional American moral society. Marriage is a sacred convenant between a man, a woman and GOD. Homosexual “marriage” would be an abomination and a mockery of our religious freedom and our American heritage.
Abortion is the taking of an innocent, helpless human life and his liberty. Life and Liberty are expressly protected in the Constitution.

Triumph - Fight The Good Right
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we’re running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin’ right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don’t get discouraged, don’t be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it’s better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin’ in my pockets I got nothin’ up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you’ve got to do
CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It’s your only way
All your life you’ve been waiting for your chance
Where you’ll fit into the plan
But you’re the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You’d better think of something else instead
You’re so afraid of being honest with yourself
You’d better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There’s an answer in your heart
CHORUS
Maybe this could become our anthem of sorts........... ?
