You have a way-over-inflated opinion of those who FReepercided.
FRs foundations are in fine shape. Best I've seen 'em in years.
The secret is to go back to the foundational principles and make sure that THEY are the common ground we build on. Otherwise, it’s the Tower of Babel, built on sinking sand.
“Unless the LORD builds the house, they that labor, labor in vain.”

CINOs who push a liberal candidate onto this socon forum in a rude manner are part of the FOUNDATION? Then why don’t we just change the mission statement of FR, such as the part where it says,
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
