Maybe others can answer more concisely, but I believe we need a place where like-minded traditional conservatives can meet to discuss and advocate for our pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-traditional American conservative values, principles and causes--without being hounded and attacked by leftists, "moderates" and other naysayers, doubters, doom & gloomers, malcontents or trolls who would either outright destroy our liberty and our way of life, surrender it, or otherwise nibble away at it in bits and bites.
Free Republic has been just that for fifteen years!!
We wholeheartedly and steadfastly believe in and defend our founding principles and our traditional American conservative way of life.
Our nation was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and endowed by GOD with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
And that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. And that our constitution was established to severely restrict and limit the government to ONLY those powers actually enumerated and delegated to it by the constitution and that all others are reserved to the states and the people.
The rights and powers of government are few and defined while the rights and powers of the people are many and granted by God. Government does not grant us our rights and cannot take them away.
We the people are the sovereigns and final arbiters.
When any government becomes destructive to the causes of liberty then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
Our government without a doubt has overstepped its constitutional bounds and is becoming outright hostile to our liberty. This is tyranny.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!
We must alter it by taming those who would be our masters. We must reestablish our constitutional limits on government and fully restore our god-given liberty.
This has been the mission of Free Republic since inception. We deliver tens of millions of pages of discussions by conservatives in support of our conservative values to millions of readers every month. We are a conduit of conservative thought from the people to the media, to the talkers, to the kingmakers, to the movers and shakers and to our government representatives. And to each other and to the other side. Free Republic is well read! According to Alexa and other rating organizations we're nearly in the top 1000 or so sites in America (1102 today). We are consistently in the top ten among conservative sites.
People read us. Our thoughts and discussions are often linked, quoted, referenced, mentioned or talked about in the media, blogs or talkshows. People come here for news, information and conservative perspective as posted by liberty-loving individuals like YOU and me.
Where else can you post your great freedom inspiring thoughts and see them reflected almost immediately on google and possibly talked about by Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin or written about by any number of news outlets or blogs?
You are a newsmaker and activist for your conservative causes. Your opinion counts and is noticed and is acted upon. Don't believe me? Ask the unimpeachable president Clinton. Ask Presidents Gore or Kerry. Ask top news anchor, Dan Rather!!
Click the link. The Republic you save may be your own.
Jim, my family has served this greatest of Nations for more than two centuries. I will keep faith with my own ancestors and with my brothers-in-arms whatever the cost. I fought and bled for this Nation long ago, and I will gladly fight for it now. Those who have preceded me, those who have fought with me, our Fallen, and my children, demand no less.
Godspeed the cause of Liberty! God save the United States of America!
Amen
Top 1000 most-trafficked websites in the nation? I’d be curious to see that list.
Amen bump!
God bless and Keep you and your precious family.
God bless all who served, and God bless and hold dear our heroes who gave their lives in service to our country and in service worldwide from other free countries for the cause of freedom and liberty.
God help us save our Republic!
I'll pitch in a little extra. It is SO worth it!

Thank you very much, Islander7!!
And concise, too, in my opinion. Any less would have left something important out.
God Bless you, the folks at FR, and God Bless America and with our help keep her FREE!
