I have referred to Free Republic as your invention for conservatives to win the war against the left wingers.
Yesterday glock rocks, came up with a new term/description that is far better than invention.
glock rocks, described Free Republic as a "Life Form!"
This is a wonderful description of what Free Republic really is. It is a living and evolving Life Form to battle the left wingers and those who would destroy this country!
The Free Republic Life Form enables us to discover the truth about what is happening. We can avoid the spin of the major mediots as they work 24/7 to weaken this country. We come to the Free Republic Life Form to find the truth!
The truth in it's self is great. Then, what happens with that newly discovered truth is what separates the Free Republic Life Form from Drudge, Newsmax, Limbaugh, Hannity and our local am conservative talk show hosts.
First we post the truth, or we respond to a post. We learn about what our enemies are doing. Often a tactic/strategy is brought up to stop these evil doers like the gay web site with posts wishing for the deaths of conservatives. Often within hours or days, the evil doers are forced for the first time in decades to apologize and to act like civilized humans instead of the perverted trash they have gotten by with!
We have stopped most companies from hiring X42 to come talk to them since he became x42. The pressure put on the Madison, Wisconsin school board and city government was truly awesome!
Not all of our battles are quick and definite wins. Sometimes like the Klamath Basin Rural Cleansing effort by the enviral Nazis, we just establish beach heads. However, while establishing those beach heads, true heroes step up to the plate like Jeff Head did. I learned about this Rural Cleansing effort from a post by AuntB. I think the rest is history, and I feel that we saved most of those farmers. I predict that they will be in control of their water and their future sometime next year. Now God is providing the rain/snow that they need!
I could go on for hours, but I will not re the praises of real accomplishments by those who come to Free Republic.
I will close with three final remarks.
1. The incredible knowledge of the members who make up the Free Republic Life Form is awesome and gets better each day! Got a question or a problem, just post it. Soon the combined IQ of the Free Republic Life Form gets into gear to provide the knowledge needed to solve your problem.
2. Daily, the Free Republic Life Form is attacked by the vile bacteria from the far left and ? that want to destroy the Free Republic Life Form. Since 9/11, you and your moderators have discovered a great BS antibiotic. That BS antibiotic is used to remove those who would destroy the Free Republic Life Form! I see no difference between these distractors and haters than a spore of Anthrax! Removal of them is necessary for the continuation of the Free Republic Life Form!
3. My final remark is one that comes to me with amazement re a group of conservatives. There is no free lunch unless you are a parasite! Free Republic needs a constant infusion of cash to keep the Free Republic Life Form alive, viable and to grow. If we believe in Free Republic, we must donate each month or quarterly to keep this incredible life form alive. Each month inspite of being retired and on social security and a pension, a check is sent automatically by Check Free to Free Republic. My church, my mortgage company, and the education fund for my grandchildren are in the same honor group of an automatic monthly check! Good stewardship is what this world needs, not good intentions. Good conservative stewards will insure that the Free Republic Life Form continues to grow, be viable and thrives!
Well said, Grampa Dave. If you can do it, we all can.
As Jim Robinson said in yesterday's post:
My projections are that our regular monthly expenses for next year will be running in the neighborhood of $22,000 per month, or approximately $264,000 total for the year. This means we will need to raise approximately $66,000 per quarter.
He also said that Free Republic now has "tens of thousands of participants;" yet, we do not have enough monthly donors to cover the monthly expenses.
So many of the more than 2,000 who replied to yesterday's thread said they were willing to pay a monthly or yearly fee. Why not just make a regular small monthly donation to help keep Free Republic going?
Voluntary contributions do not change the status of Free Republic, but charging a fee would.
Thanks, Jim!
Thank you and all those Freepers and Lurkers who are pitching in.
BUMP!!!
