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 keep trying. :D
Homosexual, homosexual sympathizer, truther, RINO, pro-abortionist, website-know-it-all-malcontent, anti-FReep-a-thon geek-liar.
Add more. I am a lousy typist.
If you’re looking for perfection you came to the wrong place. I’m the most unorganized, imperfect, inane, insane person I’ve ever met. But your advice is greatly appreciated anyway.

Jim, you tin horn dictator and petty tyrant, you! God bless ya! Keep up the good work.
Looks around room, shaking her head in disbelief. Nope, gotta take that from you, Jim.
I AM. ;)
Why do you ask? And what kind of litmus test can you supply to determine my political classification?
I have long worried about my vote for Jessie Jackson in the 1988 Democrat primary in Illinois. GHW Bush had already locked up the Republican nomination and my intention was to embarrass Senator Paul Simon who was still in the race on the Rat side.
How could you possibly dig out 22 years later that I once voted for a Rat? I attended a JBS meeting once. Does that restore my creditability?
Liberal troll should about cover it all.
I mean, whoever this is, they certainly have a right to compete, but they have to know they’ll be forgotten by next Thursday.
FR is like a freeway in that it’s the aggregate of the travelers on it, heading somewhere, not the green signs telling you where or not to go or do or be.
Several, but at least two or three!
I didn’t get one. Probably because he/she knows my answer would be not just no but hell no.
No Problem. Like I said it is only those pages that are messed up for me.
Don’t feel left out, I didn’t get it either.
like mine wouldn’t?! Or grey’s? Or CC’s? That is what doesn’t make sense.
Yo, too
It doesn’t really matter at all and you have it right.
That’s not bad.
“Incessant adolescent attempts at humor” has bugged me too. I am so glad Helen Thomas has retired from here and elsewhere. So how about dropping “Bush’s fault”, and more recently “Palin’s fault”, unless you are using it as a substitute for “ping”.
He's an anti-Semite with a grudge against Israel. "Spotlight" style.
He's also got some fantasy hang-up about "Kremlin" agents on FR.
Just FYI.
Too strange...and it’s not like anybody was talking about you, because I checked!
LOL.
JUST KIDDING!
So what would be the purpose of getting us 4 over there?
