Dear FRiends,
We're going to need your support now more than ever to get through these bad times. And with these foolish godless liberal/progressive politicians from both parties delving deeper and deeper into statist/socialism things are bound to get worse unless commonsense conservatives band together to find a way to fight them off.
As we all know, America was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
America was the first and only nation as far as I know to recognize that our rights come from God not from a king or from a government. Our unalienable rights cannot be taken away by man or by government. Our government cannot exist but by our consent. We are the sovereigns.
We do not grant our consent to a government or to government leaders that do not defend our God-given unalienable rights to the hilt.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is here to conserve (defend) our unalienable rights - the entire package with no exceptions - that means we're pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-Liberty, pro-limited government, pro-defense, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, etc., with no exceptions!
We're now locked in a battle in the defense of those rights against the godless liberals, progressives and statists, against our own party and against our own party's presumptive nominee who has a solid history of trampling on these very same God-given unalienable rights that we are sworn to defend, and even against some of our own members.
The nation, the party, the conservative movement, the tea party, and even our beloved Free Republic is being ripped apart at the seams.
The only solution I can offer is that we must all continue to place our faith in God and not a certain political party and certainly not in a certain politician that has an anti-conservative, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, gun grabbing, statist big government record and a nasty habit of lying for political gain.
If FR is to survive this turmoil so that we live to fight another day, we must have your support. If you feel the same way that I do that our God-given unalienable rights are worth defending, Life is worth defending, family is worth defending, Liberty is worth defending, the Pursuit of Happiness is worth defending, that our constitution and all of our rights are worth restoring and defending, that a free America as it used to be is worth restoring and defending, then please make a contribution today. And I do know that you believe in a free America as I do or you would not be here.
FR is supported solely by donations made by freedom loving people like you. We are not beholden to political parties, news agencies, sugar daddies, advertisers, the government or anyone else. We are self-funded, self-governed and passionately defend and enjoy our freedom and independence!!

This has been an unusual summer.
But we need the rain.
Looking at the radar. The worst of it may be out of here soon as I watch the battery get lower. And yes we really do need the rain. A couple of good rainy days.
Weather Underground says that you have a “tornadic thunderstorm”. That sounds very active!
We were fortunate to get a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon and about 1/2 inch of rain. It’s been very hot here, so we needed it.
Still, $1 a day is affordable by just about anybody. If you use this site on a regular basis, consider being a $1 a day contributor. A cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts costs me $1.82 and I drink coffee every day. Free Republic stimulates me much more than a cup of coffee.
Back in the day, I used to subscribe to newspapers and magazines. I used to spend over $100 a month on newspapers and magazines. Now I subscribe to only one of them (Wall Street Journal). Because I get almost all my news from the Free Republic. Plus, I get to give my two cents as well. I used to write the Boston Globe but they never cared about what I had to say. I write to Free Republic and my comments show up instantly and people get to agree with me or tell me I'm an idiot. Either way, I'm okay with it. I get my opinion out there and others get to feedback on it. I wouldn't have it any other way.
So by canceling all those other newspapers and magazines put out by the mainstream media, I get to contribute a dollar a day to Free Republic and still come out ahead.
