Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
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.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

That is too FReepin FUNNY!
WOOT! God Bless FR and America!
Thank you Kim. Glad you liked it.
Out-dated is in general usage. I love the FR spell check, but to have it be the ultimate answer to how to spell is naive.
Even though your observation about FR was intended to be sarcastic, I think you nailed it.
Yes I did, thank you.
FR is much more usable than those new sites (with all the bells and whistles that make it so cumbersome) that you and the clowns love so much.
From you...seems to be a fiercely emotional defensive stance (as evidenced by all the sarcasm).
If my emotional-less (a sick word to you I imagine) reasoned responses are "fiercely emotional" to you, I'm sure you have never been married.
Oh I see. Sarcasm is evidence of Fierce Emotionalizm.
I use it for humor. Keep that in mind, it will be helpful and quell further embarrassment for you.
I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but I don't think anyone here wants to argure with you about your preferences of sites upon which to post.
I am glad you prefer the other ones, have fun!
Please only reply if it's constructive and based on something other than a sentiment or a "belief."
Instructions followed to a "T."
The exchange we have had has helped me immensely. Without it, I would still be in somewhat of a quandary, torn between content and the delivery mechanism. But your posts have opened my eyes to the fact that there are some fundamental problems here.
If it refers to this site, bon voyage.
Let's relieve the pressure of the oil under the ocean (causing "seeps" IE pollution you scrape off of your feet) by drilling and cranking up the pumps.
And then because of that environmentally sound move, we might as well use the oil to power the production of our country to benefit all of us (to you) "inconvenient humans."
Some beautiful pictures:
Let me say THANKS,Mr.Robinson...
Jesus loves you more than you will know...
whoa,whoa,whoa...
God Bless you please,Mr.Robinson!Heaven holds a place for those who pray (and work to protect all that is good and great about this country..people like you!!)
Sorry...couldn’t resist. :D
Thank God for FR!
