Dear FRiends, We need your continuing support to keep FR funded. Your donations are our sole source of funding. No sugar daddies, no advertisers, no paid memberships, no commercial sales, no gimmicks, no tax subsidies. This means no spam, no pop-ups, no ad trackers.

And because we are not a 501C, we have preserved our God-given, constitutionally protected right to free speech without government intervention.

All of the above means Free Republic remains an independent, grassroots, user-funded, conservative forum.

If you enjoy using FR and agree it's a worthwhile God-Family-Country endeavor, please consider making a contribution today:

Thank you very much and God bless you.

He was born in that little hospital of Pineville. His father who only had an eighth grade education, drove a coal truck down the mountain. Part 1...
