I am often requested to share what sources influence my opinions. Free Republic is among them. Free Republic is unknown to some and poorly accepted by those who oppose my political position. This is my way of explaining Free Republic to naysayers.

I’d appreciate any constructive critique of my explanation so I can clean it up before using it.

You forgot Møøse/Cheese and Hugh/Series. But other than that I think you got it down.

I think (but could be wrong) that we are called “FReepers”, not “Freepers”. Just like Marines are always Marines, not “marines”.

I thought “Freepers” were some sorta of Mythical cross between a Hobbit and Troll that lives in Myth and Legend that Rush Limbaugh only mentions in hushed tones under his breath...

But just like freedom...Free Republic isn’t free.

It’s important to remember that you are show prep for Rush. And while Jay Leno pays handsomely for jokes, Rush will give you bupkis. I tried to cash in my heart swelled with pride at my bank and they threw me out.

You might recommend a sarcasm detector, and let me know about any impending floods.

Good work. Let’s all hope that it really does pay to advertise. Hope it draws thousands more to JimRob and JohnRob’s sterling contribution to saving the republic.

That's a handy description of the "how" and the "where", but IMO it's needs the "what" and the "why".

On that note, I like this statement, found in the Disclaimer at the bottom of FR's homepage. It nicely summarizes FR's intent and goals:

Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the constitution and maximizing individual rights and liberty as originally envisioned and established by our Founding Fathers and secured and defended by the blood of patriots and statesmen for over two hundred years.

Don’t forget to include that FR is a pro-life board and that discussing abortion with the intent on being moderate, will get you private messages inviting you to cease and desist or leave.

Any discussion of the ins and outs of FreeRepublic much make mention of the Zot.
