While I may still be considered a ‘noob’ on here I've been a staunch conservative since my late teens and FRee Republic fits with my overall view and personal belief system.
Jim Robinson makes no bones on where he stands regarding his belief system and frankly, I think more should be purged on here for their borderline liberal limp wrist attitudes toward the constitution. There is no longer room for people who want to compromise with evil. This site is kept fairly pure because of the purgings.
The beauty of our country is that you can go out and start your own site. Good luck to you with that. I probably will visit and check it out but my online home is FR and will continue to be.
You are going to allow people on your site and promise not to ‘purge’ them unless they break the rules so hypothetically, you will allow a marxist mole to stay and that's exactly how good things get ruined. I'm sick and tired of catering to fruitcakes out of some misplaced belief that everyone has a legitimate opinion because they don't.
Everyday we are assaulted, bombarded and generally skewered, on radio, tv, online news etc etc. FR is a refuge from that and it is because of the controls that Jim has in place.
Your site....well as the bible says, a little leaven, leaventh the whole loaf. Trolls will infest it if it has a conservative bent. So again, good luck.
“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.”
This is a recipe for disaster. It will not work. Give it time, the “rules” will have to grow to keep the forum from getting choked with nonsense. When will folks learn that a “Big Tent is only good for a circus.”
Well, you know, I just don’t worry about any of that. I take it day by day and try to do the best I can. But the older I get, I find I worry less and less about offending anyone. If they don’t want to follow the straight and narrow God, family, country conservative path, well, who am I to try to stop them? I wish them well as they go their own ways.
But I hate cowardly, underhanded, underground mole campaigns, so bring them to the light of day whenever they pop up. It’s like whack-a-mole.
Funny you said that because when I read the this, that was who I thought it was based on the words written in the email(which I did not get, by the way). However, NS has an ancient HP and knows nothing about computers and I do mean nothing. I suppose he could get help setting up a forum but if it is NS, I can assure you the forum will likely never make it off the ground. Computer dummy could never be able to deal with a credible forum.
We’re pretty much screwed, I think. Moonbean has his democrats. See if they listen to him.
Some days when the left gets me to the point of despair - this web-site brings me back up.
Many a day I have been on the site and just periodically update it for a dose of sanity - like every few minutes - I don’t know any other site that has so much volume.
I am glad you don’t have ads - I have donated and will again (I live on less that 900 a month but I can cut back a few times a year.)
You are the owner - your rules.
I appreciate the patience people have shown me since I am a newby and a techno-peasant. Other sites have blasted me for not posting correctly - or because they didn’t like my comments. smartgirlpolitics was the worst. Whew!
Thank you so much for FR!
I didn’t get it.
I get all the homo-ones. I don’t rate.
:-(
Finally made a donation. Too many threats to FR...and our freedom. I don’t have much, but I gave anyway.
I know what JR posted to me. It’s no skin off my nose if there are ads or no ads. It’s just another way to make money. Like I said, you called posters with my thinking morons and I answered back. that’s all.
Hats off to you, sir. 86 years young and FReeping...I’m beyond impressed.
Together like peas and carrots.
Oh yes, the Petty Tyrant is tyrannical over all his subjects.
Are there ambassadorships available for underlings and peons and reliable monthlies?
Only at the pleasure & whim of the Petty Tyrant.
These things come down from On High, I cover my eyes...
Yep. Nothing but. The bottle is cool though to show your friends!!
Thank you very much, Wuli!!
This is like coming into someone’s private dwelling and making yourself at home: Raiding the refrigerator, charging up the credit cards, stinking up the bathroom and then taking over the bedroom. Don’t put up with it!
This sort of thing happens on just about every discussion website I have ever been on.
Members get to thinking a website is public property and then they start thinking it’s THEIR property - psssfffffttt
JR don’t purge, he zots
Pretty hard to see how this state could get any worse.....oh yeah, higher taxes and more regulations. Sheesh!
