Well it's been about 13 years forgot my initial sign in name, so pretty much from the beginning.
Never wanted to write a Free Republic Opus, love reading news stories here and commenting every day.
Would rather not go out in anger seems pointless.
Then today the owner of the site called me a RINO (I'm not), surrender monkey (not) and told me to write my opus and get out.
My sin was fighting with someone who suggested Obama losing in the latest poll is "bad news".
I could list all the insanity of what is going on here. I've tried to approach Jim Robinson in email to gently suggest the problems we are facing. It's clear from that he is not interested in discussing and resolving anything, which is a shame.
But what kind of man, American, conservative will I be if I worry more about losing my 12 year old screen name versus standing up to people who are espousing the advisability of reelecting Barack Hussein Obama, and yes if I fail to stand up to the owner of a site for calling me a liberal when I am a proud conservative?
What Jim Robinson is doing cannot work because first of all he is NOT attacking the posters who say it is best to reelect Obama. He's offended by anyone who says he is thereby supporting Obama. But he doesn't mind calling us names when we attack the pro Obamas.
OK folks, it's not going to work. You can't really oppose Obama's reelection if you may also oppose the republican's election.
Free Republic has become a house divided against itself and it cannot stand.
I'm a conservative I love my country, I have to wish away to the cornfield anyone who would assist in the reelection of Obama, from whatever misguided motivations.
I stand with Dick Cheney. The other day I had to fight with someone disparaging Cheney here. They were not criticized by the owner.
Jim Robinson owes me an apology. Not planning on getting one. The sad fact is I am not writing this because I'm offended. It's because I want to no longer assist here in the destruction of my country by those who will, to varying degrees, assist in Obama's reelection.
Six or seven liberals on the Supreme Court? Maybe atomic destruction down the pike after our disarmament. Israel destroyed. 2nd Amendment neutered. Obamacare used to deny people medical care based on age and political beliefs. Racial strife. A welfare socialist state. US attorneys going after republicans.
My wife is a cancer survivor who reasonably fears that in the future they will deny her care because she is a registered republican. And she's no RINO, she hates Obama and she won't read Free Republic stories anymore because of what is going on here.
We have a real country and real lives out here that go beyond Jim Robinson's ill advised name calling against sincere conservatives who dare to disagree with him.
So F anyone who calls me a RINO for standing with Dick Cheney and against Barack Obama. I hate RINO's and I despise misguided so called conservatives who do anything to reelect Obama.
13 years, but it's nothing when put to the wall on my beliefs against the left wing democrat party. I have too many mirrors to look in. The people here who are every day posting that it will be best to reelect Obama, should be thrown off. Instead, well...
It's over.
Shorter than I thought. LOL!
We have a long way to go and in Politics things turn on a dime. It will be an interesting year to say the least.
Take care my FRiend. After all, it's just the Internet.
I miss an America I never saw. And I surely miss the America of my youth.
As a 9 year old, with a buddy, each riding our bikes with a .22 strapped to the handlebars, stopped by the local cop at the corner so he could tell us there were snapping turtles at his favorite fishing hole...
You think that would fly today?
My America is ruined.
By people that voted for the lesser evil. And things just moved left.

By the way, the welcome sign on our main forum page pretty much explains our purpose and who we are inviting.
“Welcome to Free Republic, America’s exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives!”
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our BORDERS, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and FREEDOM of ASSOCIATION, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is NOT a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our GOD-GIVEN rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of Life.
Our God-given Life, Liberty and freedoms are NOT negotiable!!
For God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty!!
If you cannot live with the above, fine, but keep your mouth shut about it while on FR. Don’t fight against us on ANY of our deeply held beliefs!!
DON’T TREAD ON ME!!
Anti-Life, anti-Liberty trolls will be ZOT on sight!!
This means you.
It's what comes later that is causing all the derision here.

I can't help out with $$s like I used to, but I do love this place because I don't have to be politically correct, or slant my view toward the middle. It's a conservative haven.
Things improve for me, I'll pay my tab. Thanks for letting me ride. I can't do anything more than say 'thank you' right now. And I do feel bad about that. Hard enough to keep food on the table and lights on.
/johnny
Wow. I'm not on FR 24x7, but I have yet to see evidence of that from posters other than trolls. Good luck.
Are you deaf, dumb, and blind? There is an endless stream of comments about FR members willing to cut their nose to spite their face when it comes to supporting Mitt Romney. It's over. The fat lady is about to sing. Mitt Romney is on top of the GOP heap. If you think Romney is as bad as Obama and do silly things like write in losers and those who did not even run, you will guarantee Obama's reelection. I assure you Marxism will weigh a lot heavier than a progressive capitalist.
Ok, thank you very much. God bless.
In 2008, I was shooting and eating squirrels after the market crash to keep from going on the dole.
I have the skill-sets for either, but I don't want either. So I'm going to vote for a conservative. I'll get what I get. But I'm going to vote for what I want.

My Dad was born in the Fox Chase neighborhood in Philly (literally born in the house) in the late ‘20s. He routinely walked through the neighborhood with his Sears double-barrel shotgun in hand to go hunting where Jeans Hospital is now located. Nobody blinked. In fact, they smiled and waved.
Can you imagine that happening today?
It's the same freaking direction. No thanks.
I asked them what they were doing, and they got excited. Granddad was going to pay them a quarter for each groundhog they shot. Grandad had horses, and didn't need the holes.
This was probably 2007 or so.
Anywhoo.. I posted that here on FR in a reply, and some folks freaked out about kids that young carrying rifles.
They followed the rules, behaved, and I wished 'em luck.
It still does happen in some places in America, but it's well off the paved roads.

The purpose of abortion is to kill defenseless, innocent young babies in the womb. And our government, thanks to abortion pushers like Myth Romney, slaughters millions of them every year. Romney for three decades of his adult life (according to his own boasts) preached that abortion should be safe and legal in America and later advocated that unconstitutional, murderous Roe v Wade JUDICIAL FIAT is settled law that should be preserved and sustained as such. He admitted loathing pro-life conservatives Reagan and Bush and denied them. There’s more, a LOT more, but the above is sufficient grounds for a pro-life conservative to not want Romney anywhere near the presidency.
A reading from the Book of ZOT!
Ever onward did I tread through the forest of Myth that had sprung up practically overnight. And low didith mine eyes discover that the diseased branches hung low and the roots did runnith deep; fur such was their insatiable hunger.
And as the moon cast it’s gray light across the spring sky did I encounter a dweller of that fell place. He who clamed to be a man of great wisdom who no power could do without. one who had traveled far and whose influence had the name of a good man. But now, he said, in this, the Time of Troubles, there was no chance for good men. No, spakith he, it was time for the faithful to follow a new path, and that the one trode by the Great Cat himself was sheer folly!
Brethren, since the Rainbow Bridge has spanned the sky, we have seen such false prophets. And before stood another. And so did the history of the fair realm repeat anew as the faithful gathered round - for his madness twas contagious!
“The end of the realm!” he proclaimed! “We have little choice!” “Would you willingly walk into destruction?”
And as the crowd grew ever larger, the false prophet grew ever bolder, giving no care for those whose ears are sharp, and tempers already strained through battle.
And lo didith the Great Cat himself emerge from cover, a might bit perturbed that his word seemed unfit to govern his realm and those who dwelled within.
And behind him didith come his eight legged steed, straining at the weight of the ZOT!9000 upon it’s mighty back.
Unfazed by the sight, the false prophet continued weaving tales false, even as the scent of fragrant ozone fill the air.
“I am a conservative!” shouted the false prophet, over and over between words directing the faithful into the land of Myth. It was as if it were some totem or ward he believed would deflect the lightning to come.
But too late didith yon trollkind realize that merest words bear no shield against the Holy Amperage. And so did he resort to another mystical yet powerless spells. Quickly he began to chant, as had many before him, how the presence of money could stay the hand upon the trigger of the ZOT!9000. And like all before him, he vanished in a misty red digital cloud of mist.
And as the cute and fuzzy cleaning crew descended to mop up the mess and set fire the the Fell Forest of Myth, the great cat did once again remind the faithful what it meant to dwell within the promised land.
But it seems of late that the Madness of Myth hath occluded their ears, for it seems that many of the faithful just do not seem to hear his plainly spoken word.
Is it some voodoo that they doo? Is it fear of the imaginary that drives this insanity? Or perhaps many more nuts have fallen from the ACORN tree than was originally surmised.
This we cannot know brethren. But know this. The great cat hath proclaimed his intentions and it is sheer folly to continue tweaking the mighty nose.
Book of ZOT!
