Informal Poll: Should Jim Robinson make money from FR?

Today, don't ask me to be more specific.. | Jhoffa_X

I am sick of the whining about FR's finances.

Free Republic has become the Rush Limbaugh of the internet and all this complaining about who is doing what and profiting thus is making me Ill. It's a circular argument and I am tired of it.

Real Conservatives reward success. We honor it.

As a final end to this:

Would you oppose or favor Mr. Robinson making a profit from FR.

[bat-boy]

Well this libertarian is all for Mr. Robinson making as much money as he can from FR, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

[PackerBoy]

Abso-freaking-lutely. Duh. This is a free market no-brainer. Power to him. Cheers, JimRob!

[michigander]

What's Jim think of this?

You think he's obligated to provide an answer?

Any one who says no, is a socialist parasite that
believes profit is wrong and evil, all the while accumulating
as much as possible for themselves.

I don't have a problem with Jim making a profit.

[Huck]

If he wants to, sure. I have no doubt folks are willing to pay for this forum.

What's Jim think of this?

I have no idea..

This is the equal of a flameout againt the anti-freeps.

I just got sick of the same, worn argument.. over and over, it's been repeated (literally) for years..

"Publish your financials" "Jim Rob is a scumbag" "It's all about money" "You are fools" etc, etc..

I am just tired of hearing it and previously it was an easy argument to make, because it was all arcane and unspoken. They made accusations with nothing to back them.. For years.

And since this is a free republic He/SHe is entitled to say what they want. It is up to the FR members to debate this person to better educate ourselves.

As long as what they say is WITHIN the parameters and rules set up by the owner of Free Republic.

Double BUMP on #145!

[Steve0113]

Yes he should. It was a brilliant idea, wonderfully implemented. That deserves reward.

I can't scroll past this post. Exactly right.

[BADJOE]

Profit is not a dirty word.

Of course he has to have food, shelter, clothes, a cold beer, and all the ot the other stuff that the rest of us ether have or desire.

Uh, I don't know? I guess we can start an arguement over this. LOL! He can if he wants....

[Doomonyou]

Hey Jim,

When you go public, call me first!

[DainBramage]

I firmly beleive Jim and John should both be making a living off FR.

Their whole lives are taken up to keep it going, and like you and I,

they should earn a good living from their life's work.

[justshe]

You stuttered.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Hey bro, I understand....I just asked him a question. He can answer or not....Wont change my opinion of him or this site...

[deport]

What's Jim think of this?

The question or proposition wasn't posed to Jim Rob but to you and the rest of the respondents..... it was....

• Informal Poll: Should Jim Robinson make money from FR?
  or
• Would you oppose or favor Mr. Robinson making a profit from FR.

[Jhoffa_]

Oh sure it is, you are supposed to toil in the field and be "grateful"

Profit is such a horrible thing.. Heavens..

(FR is the Conservative giant of the internet.. the founder should prosper.. I am frankly amazed that I don't see Mr. Robinson on Fox News every night.)

[Jhoffa_]

You stuttered.

It's really odd that you would say that..
