Hello. You don’t know me under this name. For reasons that are going to be obvious soon, I didn’t wish to send you this message with my usual Free Republic account. This message is an invitation, a welcome to a new forum called TrueBlueFreedom.com
While I love the people who make up Free Republic, I have many complaints about Jim Robinson and his cronies who run the actual website. Over and over again, whenever somebody has complained or offered suggestions, they have been told by JimRob and others to go and start their own website if they know so much. Well, I’ve decided to take them up on that offer.
I’ve started TrueBlueFreedom.com for three simple reasons, and once you’ve read those reasons, I’m sure you’ll agree that we need to make a few adjustments if we want this powerful bastion of conservatism to remain. The first reason is simple: Free Republic is too important to left in the hands of JimRob. Jim and his son John have repeated stated that if just one Freepathon goal isn’t met, that’s it - “Free Republic will be dead.” I can’t stand the idea of America without Free Republic. Imagine if we hadn’t been there when Dan Rather was passing around his forgeries, how different things would be today. Now realize that, as things are going, we won’t be around when the next Rathergate happens. We can’t allow that to happen, and since JimRob has publicly refused to deal with this issue, we have to take matters into our own hands. My solution is TrueBlueFreedom.com
The second reason is that I believe that free market capitalism has made America great, and that attempting any other system will lead us to ruin. A belief JimRob apparently doesn’t share, since he continues to refuse to place ads on Free Republic and instead depend on a PBS-esque donation system. We are not NPR, and we are not a charity – why do we raise money like one? For this reason, I’ve developed TrueBlueFreedom.com to depend on advertisements. TrueBlueFreedom.com will not depend on donations, instead, we will depend on the opportunities provided by the free market to create a self-sustaining version of Free Republic – without the constant Freepathons.
The third reason is that JimRob is, in my opinion, a petty tyrant. How many of you know somebody who was purged? How many wonder if you may be next on the list? If you’re neither of these people, consider this: Giuliani was America’s Mayor in 2008. That didn’t stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning. How do you know that whoever you support in the Republican primaries won’t raise JimRob’s wrath? How do you know the next purge group won’t be Mormons, Jews, Birthers, Pro-Palin, Anti-Palin, and so on? I believe that purging the non-believers and demanding total mental agreement with the “Dear Leader” is the exact opposite of conservative values, regardless of where JimRob stands on abortion and homosexuality. And for that reason, I’ve set up TrueBlueFreedom.com as a place where conservatives who follow the rules will not be banned, no matter how much I disagree with them. Regardless of your politics, religion, or favorite sport team, you will only be banned for breaking the rules. TrueBlueFreedom.com is a purge-free zone.
So, I hope you’ve read all this, and will accept my invitation. If this seems like something you can believe in, come to TrueBlueFreedom.com, sign up, and start talking. And if you like it, spread the word. Because Free Republic is too important to just let die.

One poster claimed to be a left-winger, and warned that if he or she were banned, TBwhatever would be just like FR. :’D
They also have a poll about 9/11. The site appears to be anti-Palin and anti-Semitic.
I visited it through Anonymous, and it’s... not to my liking. Even if it were a pleasing format, my loyalties are with FR.
Just in case no one has posted this yet (still on my 1st cup of coffee), the software application is strangely reminiscent of the DU application.
Could this be a cast away from Skinner’s Island?
Great, maybe all the Palin-haters and Jew-haters will depart for it.
What Robinsolence!
This is sheer projection. Glad I wasn’t contacted. Thank you so much for FR!
Wouldn’t that be nice? But human nature being what it is, I won’t hold my breath.
I doubt it too, just throwing it out there.' Reaganaut and I agree on another "she".
We have been advised that FR may shut down for lack of contributions. I don’t expect you to connect the dots.
I think it is divide and conquer.
It is like all the tea party fakers that have appeared asking for money.
Jim has stated that FR is not in danger of shutting down. Posters, including me, misunderstood some of what was said.
That too.
A sour puss is not too inviting to anyone. FR will continue as long as the Robinson's can keep it going. Hope you gave a LARGE contribution for all your frowning on some of us other freepers....
Your posts will never bring a smile or laugh with such an attitude...but then again it did give me a chuckle..GG
“..I have many complaints about Jim Robinson and his cronies who run the actual website...”
“cronies...” Hmmm...such a good, well-used libtard/leftist word!!!! His colors show through.
Thanks for having us, Jim!!!! Best site on the net. God bless!

Me too! Especially people with knotted knickers! They need to learn that the ONLY thing in life that's free is a smile.
