Underground freepmail campaign by unknown disgruntled FReeper
freepmail | 01/16/2011 | Mrs Dogood

Posted on 01/16/2011 11:49:56 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Hello. You don’t know me under this name. For reasons that are going to be obvious soon, I didn’t wish to send you this message with my usual Free Republic account. This message is an invitation, a welcome to a new forum called TrueBlueFreedom.com

While I love the people who make up Free Republic, I have many complaints about Jim Robinson and his cronies who run the actual website. Over and over again, whenever somebody has complained or offered suggestions, they have been told by JimRob and others to go and start their own website if they know so much. Well, I’ve decided to take them up on that offer.

I’ve started TrueBlueFreedom.com for three simple reasons, and once you’ve read those reasons, I’m sure you’ll agree that we need to make a few adjustments if we want this powerful bastion of conservatism to remain. The first reason is simple: Free Republic is too important to left in the hands of JimRob. Jim and his son John have repeated stated that if just one Freepathon goal isn’t met, that’s it - “Free Republic will be dead.” I can’t stand the idea of America without Free Republic. Imagine if we hadn’t been there when Dan Rather was passing around his forgeries, how different things would be today. Now realize that, as things are going, we won’t be around when the next Rathergate happens. We can’t allow that to happen, and since JimRob has publicly refused to deal with this issue, we have to take matters into our own hands. My solution is TrueBlueFreedom.com

The second reason is that I believe that free market capitalism has made America great, and that attempting any other system will lead us to ruin. A belief JimRob apparently doesn’t share, since he continues to refuse to place ads on Free Republic and instead depend on a PBS-esque donation system. We are not NPR, and we are not a charity – why do we raise money like one? For this reason, I’ve developed TrueBlueFreedom.com to depend on advertisements. TrueBlueFreedom.com will not depend on donations, instead, we will depend on the opportunities provided by the free market to create a self-sustaining version of Free Republic – without the constant Freepathons.

The third reason is that JimRob is, in my opinion, a petty tyrant. How many of you know somebody who was purged? How many wonder if you may be next on the list? If you’re neither of these people, consider this: Giuliani was America’s Mayor in 2008. That didn’t stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning. How do you know that whoever you support in the Republican primaries won’t raise JimRob’s wrath? How do you know the next purge group won’t be Mormons, Jews, Birthers, Pro-Palin, Anti-Palin, and so on? I believe that purging the non-believers and demanding total mental agreement with the “Dear Leader” is the exact opposite of conservative values, regardless of where JimRob stands on abortion and homosexuality. And for that reason, I’ve set up TrueBlueFreedom.com as a place where conservatives who follow the rules will not be banned, no matter how much I disagree with them. Regardless of your politics, religion, or favorite sport team, you will only be banned for breaking the rules. TrueBlueFreedom.com is a purge-free zone.

So, I hope you’ve read all this, and will accept my invitation. If this seems like something you can believe in, come to TrueBlueFreedom.com, sign up, and start talking. And if you like it, spread the word. Because Free Republic is too important to just let die.

There might be other conservative forums but there is no other Free Republic.

I know there is a backup site called http://altfreerepublic.freeforums.org and there is a little site called http://www.stink-eye.net that I have started visiting.

But there is no other site as easy to navigate and post on and as clean looking and as large as FR.

I am upset that I never got any invitation!

BTW, he/she/it could easily be a MoveOn.org or Democratic Underground operation.

Wow! This nob writes this socialist claptrap above and then has the audacity to write about the free market in the next paragraph.

I guess he/she is too ignorant see the dichotomy.

I think I will just stick here at FR and and enjoy the best darned web site on the Internet.

Did you see that thread? The author was very concerned. A couple of others were also concerned, but study the words of this mailing that Jim posted and the words of concern on that thread.....

Yeah, I don’t think it’s going to go far. The website gives no clue as to what it’s about. You can’t access the forum to see what it’s about unless you register first. Looks like a non-starter.

The wording sounds like a freeper known as windflier. The feeling I had from him was youth and exuberance. The world didn't understand the conservative message because we didn't present the message correctly, technology and format would sell it to the world. That is like the liberals who still insist that they just have not told their message well enough and that is why the message is rejected, not the content.

I countered that the message has to sell itself and that if it is dependent on flash, smoke and mirrors, we are in a sinking boat.

Jim, maybe I am projecting on to you but Free Republic is a test for us. Are we buyers of the concept of freedom or do we have to be sold on it. It is debatable how this test will end.

I wish him well and also wish I had such youthful exuberance again. He's got the words, but not the music, but sometimes I wonder if I have either.

Anyone who debated on the FoxNews board before it was closed in ‘98 will attest to the fact that attempts to debate an indoctrinated liberal was an exercise in futility.

It is the reason Rush stopped taking calls from Liberals.

Glad I didn’t get the FM. Who needs the aggravation!

I think you hurt his little itty bitty feelwings. Let him start his own site. He can post to himself. This is my home.

I didn’t get it either, but haven’t checked my junk file.

I did put someone who kept emailing me from the yahoo group (?), I think on my junk list. I wondered why he kept using that list instead of FR.

Now I am thinking.....

Jim, you do a magnificent job. Some people think they can join a site and then run it. Let him/her/it take the responsibility and grief, and good riddance to the malcontents.
