Howdy everyone!!
Woo hoo!! It's time for the FReepathon!!
And just in time for the startup of the national presidential sweepstakes. We can expect the candidates to start rolling out their campaigns this quarter and they'll be in full spin mode by next quarter. A herd of RINOs will attempt to gallop away from their records claiming to be conservative thoroughbreds, but the only thing running will be their mouths.
This nation desperately needs a full-fledged conservative leader at the helm. A genuine traditional small government, low spending, low taxing, strong defense, pro-life, pro-family, pro-jobs, pro-gun, pro-oil, pro-borders, proud to be American conservative! And she must love to hunt and fish, have boat and motor. Please send picture (of boat and motor). RINOs need not apply!
Drill, baby, drill!! There's a Tea Party Rebellion onboard!!
Hey Dems! How's that hopey changey thing working out for you? Had it with the dope yet? Marxisim is a DISASTER! Told you so.

Thank you all very much for your continuing support!! No commercial advertising. No popups. No merchandise. No gimmicks. FR is supported solely through donations made by our loyal readers and participants. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
P.S. That last fix John made on the system last quarter seems to have done the trick. FR has been up solid ever since!! No downtime!! Woo hoo!!
(((STAR))) You betcha! I’m back from Mass and need to run errands.

Who reads FR? How many accounts on FR? What does FR stand for? Where is FR going?

Edited on 01/19/2011 10:21:38 AM PST by Jim Robinson. [history]
I'm placing this in breaking news, because there have been several breaking news complaint threads recently. Guess there are a lot of people not understanding the facts about FR, or what we stand for, where we're going, etc.
First of all, who reads FR and how many accounts do we have? I honestly have no idea and the exact number does not concern me. We currently have over 369,000 registered accounts on FR, but as someone pointed out yesterday, not all of them are active and I have no idea how many are active.
Many years ago we had less than 30,000 accounts registered. Then we hit a hundred thousand, a hundred fifty thousand, then two hundred thousand and three or four years ago we approached and went over 300,000. Every few years as we hit a major milestone in registered accounts, I updated our home page with the current number of accounts on FR. I'll probably do it again after we go over 400,000, then 500,000, etc, and maybe I won't. The number of registered accounts doesn't really mean much. And our growth in the last few years has tapered off anyway for various reasons.
Who actually reads FR? Again, we have no idea, but there are hundreds of thousands maybe even millions of readers. All kinds of people read FR. News hounds, liberals, conservatives, politicians, talk show hosts, religious types, atheists, you and me brother and everyone in between. We serve over 1,000,000 pageviews per day.
So why has our growth tapered off? Well, probably the primary reason is we've narrowed our point of view lately as we've moved away from just taking about the issues and have actually started becoming constitutional activists.
The time for talking is over. Now we need to walk the walk. Our focus has become closer to working on our primary goal which is a return to constitutionally limited government and a full restoration of our God-given unalienable rights.
We can't do that by being big tent, all things to all people, non-principled, two-talking politicians. If we are truly interested in advancing our traditional conservative pro-God, pro-family, pro-life, pro-country, pro-liberty principles and positions then we must reject the politicians and people supporting the other way.
As an organization, we cannot be both for and against homosexuality, abortion, big government, border and national security, etc. I don't know about others, but if we must choose, I choose to be on the right side of each and every issue. Why should FR use it's limited resources to allow liberals, homosexualists, abortionists, big spenders, big taxers, big government solutions advocates, gun grabbers, pacifists, isolationists, environmentalists, open-borders lobbyists, etc, ply their trade on FR? Well, more and more lately, we don't. And, apparently, that has pissed off a lot of big tent, true blue RINO types and the herd is stampeding. Let them go.
We who share our common traditional conservative principles, values and goals will be better off in the long run. We need to build on our strengths and attract more traditional conservatives to our viewpoints than to water down and weaken our own. It just doesn't make sense to me to support politicians like Giuliani, Romney, Gingrich, et al, who have RINO/liberal track records. It doesn't make sense to allow abortionists, homosexualists, gun-grabbers, big-government solutionists, etc, to have free rein on FR to target and lambast us daily with their repugnant bile. Let them go.
FR will continue on the traditional God, family, country, life and liberty path. If it means fewer accounts or less growth, so be it. If it means we receive fewer in donations, so be it. We will adapt, improvise and overcome and I believe prosper (God willing) in the long run. And, hopefully, someday we can say that we helped restore our beloved republic and our Liberty!
Dear Jim,,,glad to hear you are doing well and our prayers were answered.
Just PayPal’ed (not a real word) $20 bucks from the battle ground of Wisconsin.
Everyone, please PRAY for us in Wisconsin, as we go to the polls and vote this Tuesday in a vital WI Supreme Court election.
We now have a 4 conservative-3 libtard majority on the court.
IF we should fail to re-elect Justice Prosser on Tuesday, we will then have a 4 libard majority and all the good stuff Gov.Walker is doing, will be overturned in the court.
Gov. Walker won’t be able to pass gas without some liberal objecting and filing a restraining order on him, and the court would find him to have illegally passed wind and they will jail him.
So all you prayerful Freepers, think of us on Tuesday, and pray that good overcomes evil here in WI as the unions fight for their love of taxpayer money.
