Underground freepmail campaign by unknown disgruntled FReeper

freepmail | 01/16/2011 | Mrs Dogood

[Jim Robinson]

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.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, South40!! And that’s exactly how I feel about it too!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Sometimes mistakes happen.

By Mods?

Next you're going to tell me Santa doesn't exist...

[Red_Devil 232]

Nothing in my mail! I must not be on the right ping lists. I bet I have been missing a lot.

If it could be detemined which ping List(s) were hit it might help ID the Mailer.

[Vendome]

Well at least I’m off to a good start. I usually make about 4 mistakes a week and this being Sunday I’m probably off to a good start.

I don’t think the Lamo will be successful in any case and I am trying to remember the poster who tried to make us aware of this site a week ago.

I still love FR and Jim Robinson and John Robinson. Heck I even love John Thompson and hope he will one day find gainful employment.

Did you get my Freepmail?

Mine are OTC, but I only own one pair....LOL.

Now don’t get all excited. Santa is in the Smokey Backroom with the Easter Bunny.

[onyx]

Howdy SoFo!

San Diego - June. Don’t leave!

[onyx]

Did you say smokey? Oh, that was smokin’ Saturday....

[Tijeras_Slim]

I was starting to get worried.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I guess I should be insulted that I didn’t get one of these underground invites.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well at least I’m off to a good start. I usually make about 4 mistakes a week

Heck I even love John Thompson and hope he will one day find gainful employment.

You ARE off to a good start. JIM Thompson is on vacation. In the south of France. That Robinson guy said so.

[Politicalmom]

I’m so confused. I thought some guy called Jim Thompson ran this loony bin. Now it’s Mr. Tyrant? Does Mr. Tyrant prefer James or Jim? :p

[DJ MacWoW]

Oh, that was smokin’ Saturday....

Yes it was. I stay out of the Smokey Backroom on FR.

[Caipirabob]

It’s your house, and guests darn well better wipe their feet before they come inside to play. Thank you for having us as guests - cheers!

[CAluvdubya]

My memory is too bad to own just one pair. Glad I can get away with the OTC ones.

I get the "loud" ones with patterns to entertain the school kids when working with them!

I can be the crazy cat lady with the crazy glasses!

[Eddie01]

I logged in to check it out. There are 2 threads. Both are FR posts. It is going nowhere.

[DJ MacWoW]

I was starting to get worried.

There, there now. It's all going to be ok. Unless the Mods ban Santa.

[Responsibility2nd]

Mrs. Dogood - Is that you?

No. No FR mail yet...

I did get one from Alex Murphy though. Strange. I mean the e-mail not the FReeper...

Check that. I DO mean Alex Murphy.

lolol. j/k...

[Clint N. Suhks]

You Betcha!
