Dues, subscriptions, etc., I'll happily pay!
I was going to Tahoe this weekend and get you some REAL money. Now I can't. Damn cat!!!
Time for a mysterious MO cash donation on my part...
1- where else would so many hear our voices? Do you really want to go back to the days of "letters to the local paper?"
2- "Comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comfortable" is an honorable avocation. Don't give your enemies the satisfaction!
3- the online, realtime commentary almost instantly dissects spin, lies, & propaganda. One day all news will be like this ( maybe! )- stay on the leading edge.
All you I have pinged? Excuse me if I repeat your names, of if you are among the few who have asked to be dropped.... I do not keep a "ping list"- this was made, right now, by going back & copying names from my "self-search," and it's a one-time deal.

"Like I said above, if it is time for Free Republic to go away so be it. Those who want to keep it going speak up. Those who want it to go away, tell us why. But if those who want it to be gone lose out in the debate, then I'd say they should just go away themselves, or, in the very least, shut up and quit whining about it."
Thanks,
Jim Robinson
KEEP FreeRepublic.com GOING! ! !Hell, I thought this was a FReeper's OPUS thread too! Sheesh!
Jim and John and Staff =
A sincere thank you for all you have done since I found you in '97. The honesty and integrity you all have shown is proof that the American Dream is a reality, and that there are tyrants that are trying mightily to quash that reality and revert us back to a feudal society.
WRT the WP/LAT et al lawsuits, give them my name too. The First Amendment was not written for corporations to use as a shield for their nefarious disseminations of their select stories, or to grant them exclusive access to the politicians and judges and executives of the governments -- it is to allow the People that access. As they have found, they can't publish only part of the story, or change the timelines, or embellish the facts with lies without some here catching them out and exposing them.
I do agree with others that there should be a minimum charge for the priviledge of posting; that would cut down on some of the riff-raff scumbags that try to hijack threads or start flame-wars just to get them pulled.

I appreciate FR for the news, insights and exchanges with other conservatives. So, I'm glad FR isn't going away.
After reading (most of) 1771 replies.
Holy FReepin' Cow!
I need another drink!!
Can FR be my ISP? I don't care a thing for any of the ISP's (well there is one that has to do with outdoors, and they contribute $1 back to my choice...If there will be no FR ISP, then I guess I'll have to explain that RKBA. hunting, conservation, and love of freedom is a good enough reason to send my dollar to FR. I'd just as soon give you the whole $20.mo, tho'
I know, I'll contribute $1 for every anti-semitic nazi arab-loving SOB you ban. just remember that I have children and an income of $615/mo and get no food stamps or welfare or stuff, so don't ban too many too quickly, LOL.
Ah, h**l, I'm overweight anyway, just leave me enough to feed the 13 yo. and the animals. Send me a statement please, 'cause I have no idea how to tell who was banned -- they show up with a new name, or three or four, all at once.
yeah...be my ISP. I like that idea...(no, I don't know what that would involve, but with all your spare time - hehe - I'm sure you can fit it in.
