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.
I'm laughing on the inside. Really.
We have reached the point where the next big cache of info will be something we stumble upon quite by accident.
You don't like the birther narrative? Fine. Move on. Start looking under other rocks.
That’s for sure. Took a look and every bit is bashing FR.
Wonder who the owner is.
LOL. You betcha!
I'd say they probably posted on this thread.
"If FR dies, thats that." - Jim Robinson [Jim's reply at post # 588]
I’m on several ping lists and I never got a FR mail from a disgruntled freeper. I feel so left out. /sarc
Anyway, Jim you’re doing everything right!!
Hi svcw.....well if they’re bashing FR on that site you can bet the DU will be on it like flies to honey in no time!
I can imagine a dog like that being a mudder. The cats feet sure look funny...
Well I wasn’t “privileged” to get such a freepmail. But I wouldn’t want to be a part of any other group.
And?
Everyone hates me.
I had heard of them then did a search and found a couple of breeders. From what I read the first generation (domestic cat bred to wild cat) don’t make good pets, but the second generation only 1/4 wild servel are good for the home... They sure are pretty with those long legs....:O)but that probably depends on each individual cat...they are yummy
Actually, not really. I know someone who got banned, tried to get back on, couldn’t even get a response. This is a person I know well, is a very good conservative, said one thing that was misinterpreted and has never been allowed to even explain himself.
So, while I love FR and have no problems myself, sometimes the mods act like normal humans. That is, they make errors and don’t correct them.
Do you know what that did to my brain?! I’m holding you personally responsible! You now owe me a Whataburger!
I know someone in that category. Maybe it’s the same person.
It was a shame because FR lost a valuable member that day. Many people even tried to get that FReeper reinstated but it never happened.
And yet there’s others back who I never thought would see FR again.
Wow Laz, you’re a lot cuter than I thought you would be. Altho, you need a haircut.
I love ya Laz...don’t worry.
Not to worry Tommie, my Daddy was born in 1880 and only went through the eighth grade in Georgia, but was better educated readin’, ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmatic than most college grads nowadays! Had very elegant ‘old school’ handwriting too...
This country needs classic, patriotic, old farts like you!

Whoever this ex-FReeper was undoubtedly knows enough personal information to do something with it, if he/she/it is already trashing us.
