Received yet another complaint from a prior donor:
"The thread about who is a troll tells lots. FR is not welcoming to newbies. But the younger generation of potential conservatives has to be heard. Conservatism is changing, and we need openness, even when it challenges.
My son as well as me was a previous supporter of FR, but he quit; these guys are extremists, and they can not win elections via labeling. In 10 years the whole debate about stem cells will be as ridiculous as the debate about baby carriages.
In 10 years most of us 1999 Freepers will be dead. If I posted this, I would be banned as a troll. So I am inactive and leave FR with regretss for what FR has become.
I move my support to Darwin Central and Liberty Post."
[name redacted]
Well, I just don't know what to tell you. FR will remain a pro Life and Liberty conservative site. It's true that government schools have brainwashed the last couple of generations of our youth into believing that abortion, homosexual marriage, universal health care, global warming, open borders, big government, big spending, high taxes, etc, are perfectly normal and healthy for our citizens and our "democratic" society, but I just cannot bring myself to go along with all that liberal mumbo jumbo.
One more time: FR is pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-constitution, pro-traditional values, pro-small government, pro-defense and pro-America.
We oppose RINOism, liberalism, feminism, homosexualism, socialism, Marxism, globalism, fascism, communism, pacifism, government enforced atheism, anarchism or any other form of tyranny.
We fight for LIFE and Liberty and our religious freedoms as well as all of our other God-given unalienable rights. What God has given, no man, no government can rightfully take away. Our individual rights are not negotiable! Thank you very much!
Sorry, but I'm simply not interested in running a website dedicated to electing RINOs or turning the GOP into democrat-lite. If that means our fundraisers take longer or our donations dry up, then we'll find some other way to fund our operations. But we traditional conservatives (extremists to you) will continue fighting the good fight!
I will agree with you on one thing though. Those who feel FR should be more tolerable to the liberal point of view or that conservatism is changing and we should adapt to be electable are probably on the wrong website. Conservatism does not change, weak-kneed RINOS do.

I’m the luckiest person I know. I’ve been through these for the last 18 years, or so.....
OK....maybe luck had nothing to do with it....
More than likely, it was divine intervention, driven by my Mom’s prayers.

I know.
Much sympathy with your sensibilities.
Nevertheless, it is . . . criminal to our Judeo-Christian heritage and an affront to Almighty God to allow the Jihadi’s of the world to infest our Nation and risk overcoming us via population expansion.
Thankfully, that won’t happen. But it won’t happen because of Almighty God and much devastation before then.
God will root out Islam from off the planet.
Some things ARE worth proscribing. Murder, rape, theft, running red lights, child abuse, . . .
Have long pondered . . . Assume you had the task assigned by Jesus The Christ to write a new USA Constitution after Armageddon under His Universal leadership for the remnants of our beleaguered Republic.
You knew it had to submit to His Kingship but He didn’t give you detailed guidelines. How would you write it differently than it is now?
imho,
This BOOT CAMP is all about training and conditioning leaders to rule and reign with Christ WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH LONG DARK NIGHTS OF THE SOUL AND MANY FIERY FURNACES
VERY INTERNALIZED GODLY VALUES AND PRIORITIES IN RELATIONSHIPS—WITH GOD AND OTHERS.
That internalizing is meant to be at the feet of Godly parents.
When that fails, what are the supplemental boundaries most fitting for society to place around the individual?
Many things are destructive TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND TO SOCIETY when allowed relatively free reign.
What list would you compose of those? What boundaries would you put around them?
Yes. It’s tricky. No. Abdication will not work. Ignoring will not work. Egalitarianism with evil will not work.
Don’t yell at me, you know it hurts my feelings.
