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.
I went ahead and registered and posted zactly one message.
Only because the Leftist media deliberately wanted to not associate the CommiecRATs with being REDs.
Their subterfuge worked. Even FNC and people here on FR generally go along with it.
There, there.
*Pats JA on the back*
Woo hoo!!
And this just nin:
$50.00 from Never Never Land

Thank you all very much!!
Woo hoo!! Now over FORTY ONE percent!!
Your in-sanity ping list has been whittled down a lot that should tell you something.
Who’d ya hit?
Did your post include the words “I’d hit it!!”?
Me too. I must be on a higher class ping list than some folks. Well, that's a good thing.
So that’s why the colors were switched!
Too late. Congressman Rangle has done wrangled it away.
My daughter has lots of barn cats and tried to give me a black one, I told her I wanted a black one with stripes or spots and she said she had a great can of paint...not good enough. I saw a Savannah cat and they are beautiful but cost in the thousands to buy... too much money. :O( but they are not black.
She has a strain of 7 toed cats in the barn. There is a name for them but I cannot spell it...
Septodedactyl?
I’m not on any list. I suspect it was sent to me because of my activity on the let’s-bash-Oracle-for-fun-and-not-quite-profit thread.
I belong to a couple other forums that use SMF. It’s OK for their purposes, but those forums don’t have 1/1000th the traffic of FR.
The Savannah cats are gorgeous but loud! They really sound like a wild cougar or something. My old gal just lays around. She’s deaf and has a tumor near her lung. I’m just keeping her pain free for now. Hard to make that final decision when she purrs and bathes and looks so alert most of the time.
Time is short. It's a big wide internet. What person would waste their time and sign up for a website without being able to see it first?
How idiotic.
Website -- Fail!
LOL!
