Free Republic Founder: #NeverTrumperism Is a Losing Proposition – Will No Longer Be Tolerated

Jim Robinson, the founder of popular conservative internet discussion board Free Republic that was founded in 1997, threw his support behind Donald Trump for president on Thursday......

Our overriding mission on Free Republic is to preserve, protect and defend (conserve) God, family, country–and all that that entails (refer to the Declaration, Constitution, and our Judeo-Christian American heritage for details).

Our most immediate task we must undertake at this time is keep corrupt, godless, treasonous, America-hating communists like Hillary Clinton out of power.

Our very survival as a free nation depends upon it.

That means FR is going all in to defeat Hillary/Bernie, et al, by supporting our America-first nominee Donald Trump to the hilt.

Is there a particular point you are trying to make?

I guess there is no longer room for actual CONSERVATIVES here.

On the important issues like immigration, trade, security and wars Trump was the most conservative candidate running this cycle. Every other candidate was a NWO globalist.

Conservation needs to work for all Americans of all ages, not just for older retired American worried about a non existent threat of inflation of imported durable goods.

This is a very good article. Thanks for posting.

Been a member on this site for a lot of years. I never — NEVER — thought I’d see the day when its founder would advocate restricting speech.

In my 14 years on this site, I do not recall, correct me if I am wrong the 2012 post that Obama must be defeated in 2012 therefore, no criticism whatsoever of Mitt Romney will be tolerated from now on. I also do not recall the support McCain 2008 or get lost decree. Or for George W Bush for that matter. This site was founded on conservative principles as I was drawn to it. I served 8 years under the Clintons. I know more about how people in the military were treated by those crooked horrible people than most, and first hand. I loathe the the all the generations of the Clintons in a way most you cannot imagine. After seeing the behavior of the Trump supporters here, it is clear, it has been infected and taken over by people with the emotional maturity of Trump himself. They seem to act as if since he acts mentally like a 12 year old then it is perfectly acceptable that they behave accordingly. I’m a conservative before a Republican. I voted for VP more so than any candidate the my 25 years of voting. At least there was a thin patina of appeasing my conservatism. I cannot and will not get behind this man who literally was a democrat two years ago, who is by his own words very pro abortion, who is not going to address entitlements, who will continue printing money who will raise taxes, who is going into a trade war with the world not seen since the depression, who will continue the decline of our military and disband NATO. There is nothing Republican and certainly not conservative about the platform Trump is presenting us. Perhaps building a border wall would almost, perhaps be enough, except we are all smart enough here to know all that had been law since 2007. You think magically congress is going to fund it now? Anyone think Trumps pen and his phone will do the trick? Jim Robinson is a great man, a patriot but not him or anyone else is going to make me choose between Hillary or Donald to see who will sell this country out the fastest and most complete. If I cannot read and post here unmolested as I have been since I was a three stripe airman on my first deployment to the Philppine jungle right after 9/11 able to share, laugh and learn, then this is no longer the site and movement I joined up with. Before anyone thinks of putting the “Well, Bye..” Meme on this, just ask yourself did that smug sarcasm comfort Curly Bill as he lay dying with a gut full of lead in a river? I’m pretty sure Wyatt Earp got the last laugh. When Trump turns on everyone here I don’t think anyone will be laughing or smug and I won’t be able to say I told you here, but just understand that I did.

Geeze, all of that to say...

I'm voting for the demonrat? What a waste of data bits.

[RedWulf]

Smug Alert! You sound like a Liberal.

[Concentrate]

Well this has been a great website, but now that we are being commanded to get behind the Far Left, Pro Partial Birth Abortion, Anti Private Property Rights, Pro Socialized Medicine Con Artist with an “R” after his name I guess there is no longer room for actual CONSERVATIVES here.

Complete nonsense.You must be one of those aforementioned experts at giving the opposition the election. Now just stop it and come right back here and READ. I also suggest going to youtube and listening to what the man actually has to say.(Next time you watch TV, notice how they won't actually play his voice, but merely interpret what he says)

Listen carefully. Pay attention. And then humbly join us. It's OK. (I've humbled myself probably a thousand times- it's painful, but then you have a clear conscience) You have to ask yourself this: Do I really want the opposition to win?

Probably more than one was a troll or a revised acct. after years of no use.

[Grampa Dave]

BOL! Thanks!

[Harpotoo]

Go Trump Go!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep. All Trump all the time from now on.

I have been here 16 years, although I seldom post new articles because somebody else always beats me to the punch. I have stood with the Walter Reed group against Code Pink.

I took a new screen name and stopped donating right after the previous election because this site actively opposed the Republican candidate and advocated staying home. The result of that thinking was Obama part two. The whole Mormon hate fest thing didn’t work for me.

I’m pleased to see that the site isn’t going to make the same mistake in that regard this time. Although Trump is not my choice, I will vote for him, just as I voted for Romney, McCain and all of the other squishy losers of the past.

The purges seem to be continuing, however. I can understand removing obvious trolls, but once again, from my point of view, the site is going overboard. This kind of polarization yields third party challenges and stay at home voters. In my opinion, it needs to stop.

[hoosiermama]

The purge is continuing because individuals are directly challenging Jim They could choose to take a step back and stay off for awhile. We all have done that at one time or another. Instead they continue their antagonistic behavior.

[Morgana]

Always wondered what happened to Jim Thompson

[hoosiermama]

I don’t know you. Please don’t post your garbage to me
I asked your post to be deleted
Post it to yourself if you find it so valuable

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I never — NEVER — thought I’d see the day when its founder would advocate restricting speech.

Whose site is this?

[danamco]

Also some Cruz-Bots were sent “packing”???

[stephenjohnbanker]

Man the trolls are hungry today : )
