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.
This is the second forum I have seen post here on FR this week set up by disaffected former FR members.
chuckles to you, I do also..have used it on several occasions....pet peeve, reading directions on OTC medications and directions on some microwave products.. The government makes them put so much junk on their labels, its sometimes hard to find the directions for taking the stuff..
You’re welcome.
It’s my honor and pleasure to help. Thank you for just being here and being a good friend to me and so many others. You’re the absolute best. Once a U.S.Marine, always a Marine. Now my oldest grandson is one the proud USMC. ((((Tommie))))
Semper Fi.
You disputed nothing. You belittled, mocked & deflected. Disputing the birther narrative trumped truth. If you were interested in the truth, the facts would be as important to you as it is to those you sought out to "dispute."
I’ve been ZOT’d plenty of time and on reflection deserved it....
Your site will never amount to anything...
You have no core belief and will not be successful in your endeavor....

Are you itching for another zot?
Slow down Vendome. You’re swerving all over the road.
He’s trying to pretend that he’s not a paid 0h0m0 toadying suckup.
He doesn’t fool anyone who pays attention for a few minutes.
We're family.
Respected brothers, crazy cousins, beloved sisters and lunatic uncles.
We might scrap one against the other, but let the revenuers come onto the property.. Katy bar the door.
Ha ha ha ha ha. I can’t read directions on microwave priducts either....LOL. Just dayum. I also can’t see menus in restaurants that do not have excellent lighting. No more romantic, candlit dinners for me, unless my sweet husband reads the menu to me...LOL.
COME ON, PENNSYLVANIA!!! ARE YOU GOING TO LET ARIZONA WHUP YOUR BUTT???
I signed up over there to check it out. I posted a comment over there saying that if it turns out to be a place to bash FReepers, then I won’t hang around.
I’m interested to see what happens with it. If his/her motives are pure, it will be obvious. If not, that will quickly become obvious too.
But until JR kicks me out, I ain’t leavin’.
Oh the humanity!!!
I could not even join the CORPS now with only an 8th grade education)
Thank you very much, getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL!! Your support is greatly appreciated.
Is that the best JR could get? Get back to me when someone calls him the MOFO of all Tyrants...that will be a fun thread. :-)
Back in the day, mom thought HE was a pretty tyrant.
I didn’t get the Freepmail, but think it’s a good time for everyone to donate so we can the Freepathon over 100% quicker this time.
JimRob, thank you for all that you do to give Conservatives a home on the Web!
re; the labels on the meds....there are so many of them that it takes a long time to find the name of the medication for me!
Onyx...wish you could come home, too! :)
