Informal Poll: Should Jim Robinson make money from FR?

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

[Jhoffa_]

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.

[Jhoffa_]

I say he should..

Bill 'O is making a fortune, Rush Limbaugh is making a fortune.. The Conservative ideal sells, it's worth something and when given a chance we dominate in every way, shape and form..

So, what's so different about FR? Why should FR be exempt from these rewards?

Your comments please.

Want to see the post that got me banned forever?

[alisasny]

I hope you dont get banned for this post.

[AdamSelene235]

What is this, a Socialist site?

Hell Yes, he should make money.

Most things worth doing are worth doing for a profit.

[Willie Green]

Your comments please.

Ain't none of my business, nor yours.

[eureka!]

Yes he should. Whatever the market will bear...

[Jhoffa_]

Me too..

But the whining never stops..

It's time to just saw yea or nay and end this garbage once and for all.

I vote YEA.. We are a success and only socialists punish success.

How do you feel?

[lonestar]

It would be fine with me if JR made $$$. He's definitely earned it. The old fashioned way. I'll continue to do what I can.

[NeoCaveman]

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

I'm all for it. I'm no Commie.

[Jhoffa_]

Ain't none of my business, nor yours.

Other (ahem) "forces" are making it EVERYONES business..

So, should Mr. Robinson profit from his wild success.. Just like all the others have?

Or should he be punished for some reason?

[BullDog108]

In a word, YES!

That is, if Jim wants to. Has anyone asked him?

[alisasny]

What is your idea of whining? Is it the financial aspects of this site?

[CharacterCounts]

I am sick of the whining about FR's finances

Real conservatives would never whine about FR's fibances because they would realize its none of their business.

First and foremost, conservatives mind their own business.

[Petronski]

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

[Warren]

Why shouldn't he or anyone make a profit.
I work for a paycheck, don't expect anyone else not to.

[Jhoffa_]

That is, if Jim wants to. Has anyone asked him?

I havent.. But I am sick of the A-F league of jerks making such an issue of FR's finances.

[Jhoffa_]

First and foremost, conservatives mind their own business.

Yes they do..

Anti-freepers, however aren't as principled.

They bitch forever.

[AM2000]

Should he? I don't know. Could he? Yes.

[Spiff]

The whiners need to shut the hell up! It's either quarterly donation drives so that we can voluntarily donate to keep the site running and keep Jim Robinson employed so that he can run the site. Or it is a paid subscription site. This is not a charity, despite the voluntary donations one can make. If you want FR to continue, either keep donating or keep whining so that Jim will have to go to a paid subscription model and watch FR disappear from the Internet.

[Willie Green]

Other (ahem) "forces" are making it EVERYONES business..

I assume your referring to self-proclaimed "libertarians" who don't respect Mr. Robinson's right to run his website as he sees fit.
The heck with those other "forces". They're hypocrits.
