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.
The humor on free republic is what keeps me coming back...a great belly laugh can make one’s day..
Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere that doesn’t offer me a daily dose of flying jihadis.
Then keep your fingers off the keyboard.
Acts 5:38-39
38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
But if not...
Would Hank done it thataway?
'Tronics IS the work of the DEVIL!
I didn’t get it. I don’t know whether to be insulted or flattered.
Help me out here JR.
If you were to ban me (like that would ever happen;) and I want to re-register under another name - are you not equipped to cross reference the ISP info for bona fides?
It’s likely they are lurking, but how do we know all the ‘wideawakes’ are not still snarking on FR?
I’d hate to think I might be sharing FReepmails with that howling female coyote/dingo/wolf.
Just pondering.
wouldn’t it be obvious? People like that have a hard time hiding who they are.
I didn’t get it and feel so left out. Been a member here for a long time. Not fair. :) Keep up the great work Jim.
I have my suspicions, but won't say until confirmed!
A wolf in sheep’s clothing???
LOL!!
I remember listening to McCain’s acceptance speech at the end of a great Republican convention with the high points being Sarah’s nomination and speech. I thought McCain’s speech was terrible because he blew his opportunity big time to say some meaningful things to the American people, and in saying so, I also said, “Say ‘hello’ to President Obama.”
All I got were boos and you’re a party pooper.
After that speech I figured it wouldn’t matter if people in blue states voted 3rd party as McCain was going to lose them anyway. As for red state voters, I asked them to think about it carefully, but privately thought the election was lost no matter what.
That was my disaster movie phase. After watching a comet strike Earth, Obama is just another civil war waiting to happen. Pity, but the nation might survive.
I think it is strange to be an active account for almost four years with no replies on the main board.
Yes. The other Freeper thought so too but the Mod said it must have been sent to him by mistake. That left him scratching his head......a mistake with no posting history? Um, ok.
Quite possibly, but I doubt it.
PS. I think the Mods get busy and sometimes stuff that’s odd gets lost.
Or teeny, raised black plastic letters on the back of electronic equipment when yer tryin' to stuff them cables in the right holes. When they are RECESSED letters, at least then I can fill them with white paint!
