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.
Amen!!
They’ve got a full sized shredder truck scheduled for this weekend. They’re going to shred cardboard images of public *ahem* servants.
Thank you very much, JD!!
I can compromise, I already have, a little more than I wanted to. If I don’t take a stand somewhere what would that make me?
Thanks for all your energy and hard work.
FreeRepublic is an indispensable part of my day.
I'm a secular Conservative.
My political passions are tax and spending policy, free enterprise capitalism, strict Constitutionalist judges, and I'm a military and foreign policy hawk.
Although most of the cultural and religious issues here are not my cup of tea, I read many of the articles and think seriously about the arguments and the comments.
Although I am not a man of faith, I clearly understand that Conservatism is built on a foundation of Judeo-Christian principles.
Take away those principles, and Conservatism would collapse into the same relativism and selfish opportunism that stains every other political party in the modern world.
Wish they could take that shredder up to Sacramento!! Hmmm... and to DC while they’re at it!! There are a few million pages of excess regulations in need of a good shred job!! OFF with their heads!!
Thank you very much, zeestephen!!
I’m with you, Jim!
To Hell with the compromisers and the quitters.
There’s one thing that works and that is what used to be caled the American Way: limited government, hard work, moral behavior, self reliance, and voluntary charity for the genuinely needy.
These arrogant fools and would-be tyrants who want to completely reorder our society are not to be bargained with. We must name ‘em and shame ‘em, oppose them, mock them, and defeat them. We win they lose.
That was ol’ Dutch Reagan’s approach.
Oh, and by the way, twenty bucks American comin’ your way from FReaky ‘FRisco.
We’ve just about compromised ourselves out of house, home and livelihood (literally). Now they’re coming for the rest of our liberty.
Bump!
Purge the RINOS!
I support you and this cause. The ability to “fight between the lines” makes the members strong. God Bless

No, Mr. Robinson THANK YOU! Thank you for providing this forum and allowing us all to connect here. I have thought about this for many years and especially when we get the kind of posts who are just here to corrupt what our forefathers fought and bled for.
I realize now and it’s long past time that we all pony up a few bucks to keep our freedom alive.
Thank you very much, presently no screen name!!
Thank you very much, eyedigress!!
No kidding, Jim...no kidding.
THANK you!!!!!!!!!!
