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.
Thank you very much, Markos33!!
Thank you very much, Jay Howard Smith!!
As with many politicians who’ve been labeled RINO, I also don’t believe in gay marriage, gun grabbing or socialism. But it really seems lately on FR that the extremists have taken over. In a lot of places, I would be considered an “extremist right wing conservative.” On FR, I’m called a RINO and a troll. Even Cheney was trashed here when he mentioned that he liked Jeb Bush. Who’s left?
Bravo!
RE: the Tea Parties, here is what I wrote a friend recently...
“If the NWO types succeed in getting true Conservatives to focus only on money rather than governance befitting One Nation Under God and the Judaeo-Christian truths, we are essentially in idolatry to Mammon.
“Bondage, bound by the very chains the fiscons would seek to break.”
Nuke 'em till they glow then shoot 'em in the dark!
Don’t let the door hit them in the ass.
Here is the deal Jim.
The Constitution of this Country is sacred. It is what defines us from them.
I swore to uphold the constitution.
Obama kinda waffled around it all with a botched swearing in ceremony and a 2nd ceremony that was ambiguous at best.
That should have been enough to raise an eybrow.
Mr Obama has stated, that he thinks the constitution of this Coutry is flawed.
Our Constitution is literally what defines us as Americans.
I say FUBO!
Preach on Brother!
LOL! Speak for yourself.
Amen Eye.
And G’night.
Word.
Thanks for keeping it real Jim.
As a former liberal and a true neo-con by definiton...You have my eternal gratitude for keeping their feet to the fire...
Compromise is only a slow form of surrender...
You are either pro-life or pro-death....there is no middle ground...
Liberals will allways seek to divide and conquer...they seek to cut the weak from the herd...they spin their yarns, mythos, and siren song to people who cant stomach being called bad names...people who care more about fitting in than our god given rights...
Look how the concern trolls rally around McCain Jr and powell....
The psuedo attack of the modern model moderates.
Rush is dead right...They know moderates are easier to pick off....so they push moderates as the only hope for the future of the GOP...
Almost all the seats they picked up, they did so by running to the right of the incumbants...
Give them an inch...they demand a mile...
We oppose RINOism, liberalism, feminism, homosexualism, socialism, Marxism, globalism, fascism, communism, pacifism, government enforced atheism, anarchism or any other form of tyranny.

AND THANKS, BIG.
I’ve been lurking since 2001. I guess that gives me a couple of years longer. :^)
That is the game that is being played.

Good to see a reinforcement Jim where FR stands.
Among them, especially pro-defense, oppose pacifism.
The opposit to this has been a regular thread fest
on FR, outright and bordering.
RINOs not only liberal issue supporters but on the
other end of the fringe, connected to anti war Third Party candidates.
This aint rocket science.
It is class warfare non their part.
The people need freedom, not crumbs
