Revising and extending my remarks:
We're receiving lots of complaints lately from freshly banned liberals, trolls and malcontents. Well, Free Republic has not changed and will not change. We are NOT "fair and balanced." Never will be.
We are biased toward God, country, Life and Liberty. Marriage, family and traditional values. Constitution, inalienable rights, private property and limited government. Small government, small spending, small taxes. National security, national sovereignty, strong defense and secure borders. Individual rights, individual responsibility and self-government. Privacy, individual and family security, self-defense and right to keep and bear arms. Rights to freely exercise our religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of dissent and freedom to resist government intervention, intrusion, tyranny or abuse. Right to constitutional government and constitutionalist/originalist judges, not liberal activists.
Free Republic is not a government project, not an IRS non-profit organization and not a charity. Free Republic is private property and we reserve the right to control content, association, political direction and access. No "fairness doctrine" applies.
We are a loosely associated group of independent CONSERVATIVE grassroots activists working together to expose government corruption, abuse, tyranny, unconstitutional expansion, or trampling on our rights, freedoms or liberty and it is our express intention to freely do this unimpeded and unrestricted by government or liberal intruders. DO NOT TREAD ON US!
If you sign up here to spread your godless, obnoxious, repugnant liberal/socialist/Marxist, abortionist/homosexualist, defeatist/anti-America propaganda your account will be summarily terminated. Do not write asking why. Your whining pleas or insults will be ignored.
Free Republic supports our troops and the war against Islamic extremism. If pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-America, fiscal conservatism, small government, low tax, strong defense, pro-gun, pro-borders discussion is not your cup of tea, don't bother signing up for an account here. Trolls, liberals, malcontents, anti-war activists, etc, will be sho.., er, banned on sight.
POSTED: NO TRESPASSING!
Oh yeah. And you can shove global warming and the U.N. where the sun don't shine!
Repeal McCain-Feingold!
No bailouts!
Drill, baby, drill!
Good gun control: aim small, miss small.
Keep your powder dry.
I understand that God is listening 24/7. Prayer is always welcome on FR.
I thought so too, but couldn’t understand why all the other favorites of mine loaded just fine, but FR kept timing out. Last night I was able to get on and found out that it was down during the day for a lot of people. If you read the comments in the thread, there is a link which is a back up I guess, that you can bookmark.
I always try to be respectful with others and in my comments. I was just angry and allowed myself a bit of a temper tantrum.
I know that FR is not the daily Kos, thank God, but I have seen some bad language here. I just try not to use it myself. I’m very glad I wasn’t banned. I just found this place a few months ago and I really enjoy it. The people are thoughtful, smart and great Americans.
Thank you Jim & Co. for all that you do!
IN times of distress we need to maintain our voices and strength and -—this is a time of distress.
That is why my membership has been extended again and again...in this forum for truth.
Count me in as an Ann-droid and a Steyn-aholic.
Please add me to the Atlas Shrugged list.
Thank you for posting this Founder’s Statement.
New members of Galt's Gulch! Woo hoo!
For those who haven't read it, here is Republican Extremist's manifesto: It is now time for Atlas to Shrug...
Thank You Jim, I am with you ‘til the bitter end.
Godspeed
Woohoo! Now can the mods please start banning some clearly liberal people on here?
And all of what you wrote is why I love FR.
Your message should have gone out as an email to all members and posted on the home page.
I like it so much that I just donated another $50 even thought the last quarter’s drive is over.
God bless the USA and FreeRepublic!
Thank you. Your statement is why I am proud to be a FReeper!
Thank you Jim for all your hard work you do....
I will never drink the koolaide and I will always be proud to be a american.Keep up the great work.
We need straight talk and wise thinkers to keep us on the Right path,May God bless you and yours....
I’ve seen that animated .gif around. What is the origin?
If we all hang in there and keep up the fight, the end will be sweet.
Yes, but not for the other side.
Don't know, I found it here on FR and saved it. I'm a packrat when it comes to things like that.
I just got back from church this morning and am so thankful to see FR is back up and running. Thank you for all you do, Jim. Having spent a whole day without FR, I realize what a powerful force it is in keeping the constitutional principles of this great country alive!
And, I call on other monthly donors to increase your monthly donation, even if just a little bit. I know I am.
Thanks again, Jim.
Never Give UP. NEVER , NEVER , NEVER!

ON LIBERTY
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Samuel Adams

Thank you Jim Robinson, Genuine American Patriot.
Here’s to us all. There’s none like US!
FR is today’s ‘The Green Dragon Tavern’ in Boston, sometimes called the “Headquarters of the Revolution” by historians. In that place several secret groups met, and many of the patriots that would come to be forever linked with the foundation of the United States. ...
—
except there isn’t much secrecy as to what we stand for .. and against.. and what we will tolerate.
Sunday morning and the servers are cruising along well.
Good Job to the crew and Thanks for keeping FR in the waters that test us all daily.!
