Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.

Yeah, true. And I'm concerned that we'll never make that "mistake" again. Even if Ronald Reagan was resurrected and read his comback speech from a burning bush the conservative base of the 21st century would reject him for cutting an running from Lebanon, or for signing Amnesty, or for allowing 12 million abortions during his two terms, etc etc.
Nonetheless I am a lifelong agnostic who is simply, in Pascal's words, "so made such that I cannot believe", and I do reject the idea of a young earth creation.
I would hate to think that this somehow makes me unwelcome on FR.
Yes, we’re so fringe. That’s why thousands of people in Utah lined up for hours in (literally) single-digit temperatures to see Sarah Palin. When John McCain came out last year, about three dozen showed up.
NOW you've done it.
You just HAD to say that on Post #666, didn't you?
Cheers!
Happy Hannuka from a plain wrap generic FReeper WASP ;-)
Since MestaMachine mentioned Sarah in post #664,
("Obviously, they did not WANT to explain it, any more than they wanted to explain that Abraham was NOT the apple of G-d’s eye, Sarah was.")
I'll just have to quote her here:
"Only dead fish go with the flow."
Cheers!
I thought it would be self explanatory, I guess it is all new to you, so:
Fundamentalists are people who held to the basic fundamentals of Bible doctrines that were explained in that book I sent you the link to.
That is where the term came from, right from the start. R.A.Torry compiled the works of the men, titled the series THE FUNDAMENTALS and people who thought he was right were called Fundamentalists.
Just a little history, sorry it went over yor head. :)
God loves to capture trophies. For His own glory.
Cheers!
What don’t you get??
Exodus 24:
1: And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
2: And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3: And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
4: And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5: And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
6: And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7: And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
8: And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
9: Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11: And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12: And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
13: And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
14: And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
15: And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
16: And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17: And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18: And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Since you like puzzles, explain the discrepancy.
Cheers!
Mormons are just outside the definition.
What you just quoted sounds more like Matthew 5:24 or James 5:16 or so.
Cheers!
Because he wavered on The Law after being chosen to receive it.
Looking at the number of replies (which I have not yet read), I would say you have no reason to lose any sleep over it.
Careful -- that sounds *awfully* close to a Jeff Foxworthy joke.
(Given the broad brush that people are trying to paint social conservatives with, and all...)
Cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you for such a glorious Christmas gift!
...and pro-Capitalism...
