A few good FReepers wanted [Fourth QTR 09 Freepathon thread XII]

[Jim Robinson]

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for making Free Republic the number one conservative site on the Internet!!

There is no doubt that FReepers have made a difference in American politics. As an example, we FReepers worked closely with Bob Barr and helped him impeach President Clinton. That one's in the history books. The Clintons and the Democrats will never live it down. It might even have been a factor in thwarting Hillary's run for the presidency, though we're now stuck with someone just as bad. And that's only because we couldn't get a conservative on the top of the ticket. Just goes to show how far gone our political world has tumbled and why FR is needed now more than ever! No more RINOS!!

Another example is FReeper chapters turning out in Florida and DC and all around the country protesting and successfully blocking Al Gore's attempted coup d'etat in 2000. And again when FReepers exposed Dan Rather's fraudulent reporting and then pitched in to help swiftboat John Kerry. These are also in the history books.

But we live in a target rich environment. Through outright fraud and deception the corrupt Democrats have taken over the White House and both houses of Congress. Our Marxist-in-chief and his socialist enablers are now working double time to destroy what's left of our free economy and capitalist society. They will stop at nothing short of the total collapse of America if they are not stopped. Anyone who doesn't believe that is simply not paying attention. They have their sights set on the total downfall of America and world socialist domination and they've never been closer than they are today.

Should Obama's plans for taking over the health care industry, "revolutionizing" the energy sector, ie, bankrupting the oil, gas and coal industries, taking complete control over the financial and banking industries, expanding federal control over the entire corporate sector, bankrupting all heavy industry, mining, timber, agriculture, etc, etc, it'll be Katy bar the door. Our economy will collapse and down the drain goes our beloved US of A.

And not to mention his failures in foreign policy and national security/national defense. Obama is without a doubt one of the worst presidents we've ever had if not the very worst. Don't know which will kill us first, his overreaching Marxist economic policies or his bungling/inept foreign policy and piss poor execution of his duties as Commander-in-chief. Obama can't figure out whether he should attack or surrender as our enemy gets stronger and bolder. And if he allows Iran to get nukes, then it's just a matter of time. The entire Middle East is closer than ever to going up in a mushroom cloud and Obama doesn't have a clue. Borrowing from General Schwarzkopf, "he's neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he is a great military man."

And who's going to stop him? We are. Not saying FR will do it alone, but we are one of hundreds if not thousands of similar grassroots organizations that are banding together to block this yahoo. We just happen to be one of the larger and older organizations and one with a history of accomplishments. And together we've protested at thousands of grassroots Tea Parties in every city of the land and we just turned out two million patriots to protest Obama in DC. This was probably one of the largest protests ever in our nation's capital. And we're just getting warmed up. The biggest protests are yet to come and then we turnout in historic numbers in 2010 and 2012 to dump the evil Marxist bastards!!

But just like the rest of the country we are currently struggling financially. We don't sell products or services. We don't sell advertising or memberships. There are no fees or dues to pay to use our services or to join our organization. We rely solely on voluntary donations from our readers and participants to support our organization and events and it has always worked very well in the past. I pray it continues.

We appreciate very much your continuing support and dedication to the cause. There is much work yet to be done. If not us, who? If not now, when?

Thank you all very much.

God bless.

Keep your powder dry.

Rebellion is brewing!!

What Would You Do Without Free Republic?

"What would you do Without FR?????

How would You Feel without FR??? Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there? Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW! Jim can’t do this alone.

The liberals are sure we won’t be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers. Whether it is $5.00, $50.00 or more, it all adds up. Please send a donation now to Free Republic."

Thanks for being a monthly donor, John O...

I don't need thanks. I donate monthly strictly out of guilt. I've received such an education from this place over the years as well as used it as a resource to help me win many many arguments that I feel obligated to pay for the experience.

Best educational investment I ever made to be truthful

Questions.....

1. Have you thought about creating a Freerepubic store with Freeper merchandise, such as mugs, t-shirts, hats? Profits going to maintain this site and conservative causes, freerepublic events or charity.

2. Have you thought about allowing conservative only advertisements - certifible conservative businesses, etc., partly for income and partly to direct users to the ‘right’ businesses when products or services are needed?

3. Is there a way to program the ‘system’ to allow for ratings at the post level with sorting also available at the post level (based on post rating)? So many posts - but, limited time to go through repeats of LOL and even a simple thumbs but notation with no helpful additional insight - I’d love to review the top 20 responses as determined by members, versus going through 500 posts to determine if any of them adds to the discussion.

Just some thoughts, I have not run into a suggestion box.

Thanks for maintaining this site.

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks for the thought, but FR is a noncommercial site funded solely through donations from our readers and participants and I’m hoping to keep it that way. No merchandising, no advertising, no corporate sponsors, no contracts, no commissions, no special arrangements, etc.

Thanks,

Jim

[2sheds]

You got it, boss. Here's a second donation for this quarter.
Echoing posts #8 and #10, the information (and the amusement!) here is priceless. Please give if you can, folks!

[Gator113]

I chose not to be listed publicly, but I am a monthly donor.

I not only find it convenient to donate this way, I never feel the pressure or guilt when the “red bar” starts up. ;>)

There is no pain and nothing to remember. Heck, I don’t even notice that the money is gone. Once a month Jim gets my automatic donation and when the “red bar” starts up, I just smile and move on. It’s almost like not spending money at all. LOL

Each to their own, but I highly recommend that those not already doing so... consider becoming a monthly donor. It is so easy that even a caveman could do it... even Gator113.

You are in control of it, so you get to decide what you can afford to donate.

In todays world and considering the dark times we are all living through, I can’t imagine FR not being there for us. The collective wisdom, and wit alone makes it all worthwhile, and as we all know, FR is much more than that.

Imagine for a moment that FR folded... what would be the impact to your life and the country that we all love.

You may not be the future, that is for our children to live in, but YOU are shaping it.

There, I did my first commercial....... LOL

[ReneeLynn]

Made my very first donation to FR this freepathon. Not a huge sum, but I’m proud of me. :) And humble.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, ReneeLynn!!

Woo hoo!!
