Underground freepmail campaign by unknown disgruntled FReeper
freepmail | 01/16/2011 | Mrs Dogood

Posted on 01/16/2011 11:49:56 AM PST by 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.

"Free Republic is too important to left in the hands of JimRob..... we have to take matters into our own hands. My solution is TrueBlueFreedom.com"

Reminds me of "Darkness at Noon". The same argument is now applicable to those who would control the proposed alternative, "TrueBlueFreedom.com",....it would just be too important to be left in their hands.

Ergo, why should they now become the arbiters of expression since they seek to control from their perspective as JimRob has controlled from his, (which IMHO has been very responsibly executed.)

IMHO, had the mystery poster been more humble, trustworthy, and virtuous, the proposal of an alternative site would have no relationship to personal perspectives of either FreeRepublic and especially the envious attacks on JimRob.

The entire proposal is hypocritical.

Forgot to note the most important feature of FR, is that it IS free speech. It is a method by which the founder is able to converse with others and nobody else has the authority to deny him that course when exercised responsibly (i.e. not shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theater).

If the originator of the mail wants to open another website, knock themselves out. It still doesn’t warrant attacks of FR or its founder.

I also said, “Say ‘hello’ to President Obama.”.....All I got were boos and you’re a party pooper.

If there is one negative thing that can be said about FR, it's that too many here think that FReeper consensus=consensus of America, and set themselves up for a kick in the bazongas.

Freepers were shocked when Duncan Hunter got microscopic support.

Then they were shocked when Fred Thompson got microscopic support.

Then they were shocked when McQueeg got the nomination.

Then they were shocked when Obama beat him. (Remember the "PUMAs" and the "Bradley Effect"?

Then they were shocked when Christine O'Donnell went down in flames.

Lather, rinse, repeat....

It’s an anti-Freeper site. They may be looking for email addy’s and IP’s of Freepers.
