FreeRepublic – an online community
"I had not been all that politically active prior to President Clinton's election," Robinson recalls. "Yes, I complained about government and politics just like everyone else … but politics was not particularly high on my list of priorities – until Slick came along."
Robinson saw that the Clintons had brought a new and dangerous level of corruption to American politics. He could no longer remain aloof. "I knew that the newspapers and news media were lying and I knew that government had been encroaching on our individual rights and that our politicians were as corrupt as the day is long. I also knew that nothing would be done about it unless we the people somehow joined together to exercise our political free-speech rights."

YOU DA MAN, JIM!

My heroes are cowboys, soldiers and FReepers. Thank you Jim Robinson. I stumbled onto Free Republic right b4 the 2004 election. Needless-to-say, my worst fears were never realized! On to 2008!
"There is something odd about these cease and desist orders, which Robinson has shown to the Washington Weekly. They use similar wording and details, and three of the letters were sent on the same day, Dec. 5. The timing and language suggests that this was a concerted effort. Some person or group did the legal research on Robinson and his website, uncovering all his past and present business affiliations, and distributed a legal brief to the news organizations Times Mirror, Dow Jones, Reuters and Washington Post."
The Washington Weekly identified Debevoise and Plimpton – a law firm used by the Clintons and the Democratic National Committee – as the coordinator of the attack.
And still some on this board are dull enough to threaten a vote for Hillary. The next time I see one of those posters, they're gonna get this.
Excellent article. Should be part of the Freeper Lexicon.
Ping!
You MUST read the book. It's imperative :-)
I guarantee that whatever you/we think we know about Hillary, after reading the book, we'll realize how naive we were.
We have a voice that is being heard, thanks to Jim Robinson!
When we are united with one purpose, to expose the lies and deceptions of politicians and public figures our "voice" can be heard more clearly and more loudly than all the broadcasts of paid media "spinners" who are obligated to either their employers or a cause to which they have allied themselves. We are not obligated to anyone but ourselves, and our desire for truth and justice drives and unites us. We do not need the approval of a boss or board to research and post information. We do not owe favors to political entities, and we fear no threats from those in powerful positions. Ours is a mission for finding and exposing the real story - it is that simple.
Thanks to Jim we have been empowered as "Davids" who can bring down the Goliaths in the battle of disseminating information. Those giants are not so powerful anymore as they stand guard of all the hidden agendas and attempts to create and perpetuate the lies of their cohorts who desire only to destroy our freedoms and control our thinking. We know they are paying attention by their reactions to, and retaliations toward us. It is also obvious that they are running scared and loosing ground in this “war of the words” that they once controlled.
Sorry Doug from Upland...First attempt.

One blog makes you bigger, and
one blog makes you small;
and the ones that liberals give you
don't do anything at all
Go Ask Gore, when he's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing FReepers,
and you know you're gonna fall
Tell em all..Kos, Slate and DU
Jim has given you the call
to come FReeping...
when you were just small
When the libs in the senate
get up and tell you where to go
And you just heard Byrd, Reid and Biden
but your mind is rolling on
Go ask Jim....I think he'll know.
When logic and proportion
has fallen sloppy dead
and Hillary's talking backwards
and Boxer's "off with her head"
Remember, what the freeper said
Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head
Please remove my reply #100.
For some reason there was a huge blank scroll after my reply.
I will repost it.
fr rocks. period.
I remember the frustration shared by so many of us during the Clintoon's first and second term.
We knew the Clintoons, their cabinet and staff were criminals. Only Rush was getting the story out and a few news letters of limited scope were on the trail.
I was a member of Prodigy and felt the total frustration of having anything critical removed by the mods on their site.
We went to Britain the Summer of 1996, and I couldn't believe what the Times and the other conservative Brit newspapers were saying and printing about the Clintoons. I collected a lot of the articles and brought them home to share with friends. We had to fly to the UK to read news paper articles that dared to say the Clintoons were crooks.
I joined FR in August of 2000, was basically a lurker until the attempted election coup by Gore and the MSM. Then I became active.
The time from the election to the Supreme Court opinion was a dark and dangerous time for us and America. Free Republic was the only real way for us to know what was happening and to have data to share with our friends and relatives.
I developed a 50 person key email list, and would send a couple of the best links to that list. The list smoked out a couple of pseudo conservatives, who hated GW more than the outspoken liberals. They went off my list. If I didn't send something for a couple of days, I would have emails from those on my list wanting to know if I was okay.
History will probably show that Freepers around the nation as Richard pointed out had an incredible impact on preventing the Rat coup.
The Blather/Mapes memo koed by Buckhead and Howlin and others was another great moment. I had followed the destruction of that lie on FR after the lies aired on CBS.
The next morning I had an email with the famous memo actually being changed in front of us on our monitors.
That went out immediately to my list. The response was incredible, and most of my recipients emailed it to their lists. Before the day was over, I was getting my original email with the changing memo from people who I hadn't sent it to.
The Buckhead/Howlin derailment of Blather/Mapes turned the rat victory into defeat and the eventual sacking of those involved.
Each Freepathon many of us ask where would we/America be without Free Republic?
I shudder to think about the option. Thanks to those who are monthly/quarterly donors.
If anyone reading this isn't a monthly donor, please donate 17 cents/day or $5 a month to keep Free Republic strong and available to us.
Who was that little weasel that testified to the Senate in the Impeachment trial that he was not shopping around the 'Monica as stalker' story? And the British journalist got up and had a notorized statement that they both had been approached to print the 'stalker' stories. And (although we always hear how serious it is for a witness to lie) NOTHING happened to him. NOTHING! All the Clintonistas were above the law.

BTTT!

Thanks for everything!
