Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
A great many of us believe that evolution is the how, but God is the Why.
Count me in somewhat too. God created everything, including science. Im not a 100% believer in Darwin nor am I a believer that dinosaurs were on Noahs ark. I will not attack either side and hate seeing Freepers fight about this stuff.
Thank you, Jim. The statement above is why I joined.
I think he’s saying that FR is a 1776 site: “Endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights...”
Significant because the rights given by the Creator cannot be taken away by anyone but the One who gave them.
If our rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness don’t come from the Creator, then who/what do they come from?
Asphalt is for Raceing,
Dirt is for Planting Potatoes !
Thanks for your post and I agree. But please don’t gang up with others trying to push God off our pages because it ain’t gonna happen.
And many thanks to you for that Mr. Robinson...
Sincerely,
Frank

You can live with us just outside the boundaries of the definition with us (LDS).
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition....
I think there was a guy who wrote a book trying to explain that a few years ago.
I wonder what ever happened to him?
How about a nice plaid?
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."- Thomas Jefferson
According to Jefferson, that idea represented the "American mind" of 1776.
Should be good enough for 2010 as well!
Those who find fault with that idea simply don't understand how America came to be a refuge for the oppressed from all over the world. Their ancestors understood it well, however.
They ‘Insult,
YOU WIN!
Easy.
Thank you very much.
I absolutely love these reminders. I hate that they’re necessary, but I do love reading them.
THANK YOU!!!
Maybe they are just fluffy?
Apparently you’re a supporter of darwin. If you don’t want to tell me specifically what it is when I see your name...I’ll know you don’t feel welcome here.
But apparently I am a small "c" christian. I do not bow down to any ideology, religious or political. I have made my living at one point working to elect conservative Republicans. My idea of "conservative" might be different than others. All I know is when I starte lurking here 11 years ago and joined 10 years ago after the Clinton protest on the mall, there was no litmus test.
“FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.”
Good. That’s one of the major reasons we are members. Thanks Jim.
No one wants to push God off of here.
