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.
Oh yes, I’ve always loved Blue Moon of KY. Thanks very much..jaz.
No such thing as just one by Pasty. Always have to hear more, right?
My error. I meant to write, “Look at #703”
I’m sunk....dead in the water. Kaput. I am broke.
Durn. Oh well, thank you SO much for your kind offer!!!

Sounds like a righteous bunch of folks. Making trouble for liberals. Just my kind of people ;-)
Good. I’m takin’ them and off to bed. Nite Nite
I did not take bad your cutting on me when happened, I do understand principles are to be fought for.
You keep your site the way you want it to be and whoever does not like it may go post somewhere else. That´s all to be said about...
If it says that, then that's the case, whether you registered the user name, or someone else did.
Perhaps you registered there a couple of years back and forgot about it. See if you can use the "I forgot my login" function to get your password emailed to you.
I put the site up two years ago during a major FR outage. Matter of fact, Jelly and I put our sites up the same day. It was that severe. Things were real crazy for a couple of days. I know I felt like I'd been disconnected from the world.
Geeesh...wish I could be of more help.
No in the military it would be a 1 for the year 2001 and then the number of the day of the year...
11 Sept is roughly the 230th or so day in the year so it would be
1230
11 Sept is how the date is written in England or Europe...
or by geneologists...
