Hello. You dont know me under this name. For reasons that are going to be obvious soon, I didnt 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, Ive decided to take them up on that offer.
Ive started TrueBlueFreedom.com for three simple reasons, and once youve read those reasons, Im sure youll 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 isnt met, thats it - Free Republic will be dead. I cant stand the idea of America without Free Republic. Imagine if we hadnt been there when Dan Rather was passing around his forgeries, how different things would be today. Now realize that, as things are going, we wont be around when the next Rathergate happens. We cant 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 doesnt 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, Ive 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 youre neither of these people, consider this: Giuliani was Americas Mayor in 2008. That didnt stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning. How do you know that whoever you support in the Republican primaries wont raise JimRobs wrath? How do you know the next purge group wont 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, Ive 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 youve 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.
LOL! I didn’t get it either but I also get the homo emails. 2-3 so far.
Now, that’s kind of the way I look at it too. Thanks!
Going without caffeine would be a walk in the park compared to going without Free Republic, the premiere online Conservative site for Conservative commentary and grassroots activism.

Dem Guard, revisit my point #1 below:
But RESTATED again for emphasis:
Jim Robinson has deftly commanded the helm of the most unique, priceless, and factually informative grassroots website since the invention of the internet.
Point 1) The first reason is simple: Free Republic is too important to [be] left in the hands of JimRob.
Translation: The MAN who has deftly commanded the helm of the most unique, priceless, and factually informative grassroots website since the invention of the internet is SUDDENLY too incapable of carrying on.
SO....what is the answer to this grandiose and unsubstantiated accusation? Ms Blog-Pimp will attempt to start FR-lite. lol; lol; lol.

I thought this had already been done with LibertyPost and Wideawake? Sounds more like this fellah wants to go start a moderate site.
Truly. I don’t know what to do, exactly. I am thinking. It is no time to sell. That’s for sure.
You betchya
Just looked. I admit to being curious what a Free Republic away from Free Republic might look like. Guffaw! Scared me enough to add a couple bucks here.
Shudder....
Puke.
LOL. Sweet you, goat granny. I keep one of those with a light right beside me!

You can't see anything until you register. Such a ditz.
I dunno, NS was a troll no doubt but what a better way to pull it off then playing the good ol' "I'm a dummie with antiquated equipment routine"?
Just sayin.....
I never understand how selling tshirts, hats, bumper stickers are good fundraisers. The cost of the product eats at the donated dollar. I'd rather give a donation and know that the entire amount goes into the need of the fundraiser than to the production of an item.
If I do happen to need a hat, maybe I would consider a FR hat but not if my $$ is to help raise funds.
If I want a tshirt, all I gotta do is go to a memorial LOL
Welcome to the tyrants club, we’re always looking for new members.
The next level after tyrant is to be called “Rich Republican Tycoon”.
It will bring a tear of joy to your eye.
