Been going on now for 4 months, terrible.

> I am concerned. I’ve been trying to give them money but their infrastructure rejects my credit card. I’ve talked to them about it but they don’t seem to be able to fix it.

Now that's just plain silly. (And Concerned Troll is... concerned.)

Use the brains God gave you. Use PayPal. Or send a check in the mail.

> Tried to contribute An error occurred during processing. The card was declined. I have tried everything.

No you haven't. I call CRAP. Excuses suck, FRiend.

So what happens when the GOP wins the next election, or maybe in 2020? Do you recant your pessimism?

Ain't nothing perfect in this old world, and messed up is the norm. Find me one period in this nation's history where conservatism was winning full bore. The fact is that right now everyone feels like they're losing, including the lefties. We need to have the mental toughness to stick it out. Tenacity beats brittle perfectionism every time.

I have no idea what he is but sometimes you have to stop reacting and listen a little bit. The post laments conservatives being less activist. Hard to disagree with his concern.

Now we have your polar opposite opinion — and it’s just as much BS as the OP.

I’m a 30-year IT professional as well — and all things considered, I’m utterly amazed that Jim holds a site with as broad a scope as FR enjoys together for only ~$300K per year, and zero advertising!

Clearly he is NOT in it for the money. Absolutely not.

Question: why are you still here, believing as you do that FR is a rip-off?

The post follows huge Tea Party turnouts at public events. JR pointed out that the Tea Party has taken over some of what FR was doing in terms of activism.

I don’t think the evidence is there to show that conservatives are less activist than before.

I don’t know. I see that you have a donation in the process right now but it’s not clearing. I have no idea why. it just says “error, unpaid.” And I see there are some older ones just like it. Sorry, I have no way to make them clear.

But thank you very much.

So being concerned didn’t work.
Quick, deflect.

Yeah? I’m a professional of 35 years’ tenure who’s still in the game. You bought bandwidth lately, bub?

Times have changed and ways of persuasion have changed. One person at a computer can reach more people than holding a sign can. I'm not physically able to stand for hours holding a sign, but I can reach people from any sector of the public to those sitting in their offices in Washington and I couldn't do that with a sign.

So, I would say don't assume Freepers who post here don't do anything to promote freedom.

For example, I sat at my computer on election day in November and helped election workers solve problems at our polling places all over Texas. I was at every polling place by proxy by sitting right here. A group of us Republicans who knew the voting system did that on a special set up of our computers. I had food made in advance so I only had to walk a few steps to get food and drink and stay at this computer until the polls closed that evening.

So, you see, I am here but I'm everywhere at the same time. I know there are Freepers who do the same, promoting/working for, freedom and individual liberties every day.

Yes, Free Republic is important and helps all of us continue to work to pull our country back from the brink of destruction and we wouldn't have Free Republic without Jim Robinson.

It’s so painful and just when you think it’s getting better, it turns around and gets worse! They also sell those splints at Target, but they don’t last very long. The velcro wears out after a few weeks. I tried special shoes at the Walking Store, all sorts of shoe inserts, and even KT-Tape. The only thing that worked was the splint.

Yeah, love how “It’s like, totally a rip ma’am! Uh, see you next week dudes!” comes out in that.

Thank you.

Yes, the last few years I’ve been trying that “Index” function regularly. This is the first time it has worked since 2008.

All others returned a “error” message reporting the search function was not found.

Ah, I see that for once “my card is broken” was the truth.
Next up “my dog ate it” will for once be true.

Still, PayPal does work you know.
