"I had not been all that politically active prior to President Clinton's election," Robinson recalls. "Yes, I complained about government and politics just like everyone else … but politics was not particularly high on my list of priorities – until Slick came along."

Robinson saw that the Clintons had brought a new and dangerous level of corruption to American politics. He could no longer remain aloof. "I knew that the newspapers and news media were lying and I knew that government had been encroaching on our individual rights and that our politicians were as corrupt as the day is long. I also knew that nothing would be done about it unless we the people somehow joined together to exercise our political free-speech rights."

You bet. I first heard of this great site from another great site: RightNation.US. I'm on there mostly, but I switch over to here now and then to check out the commentaries and news items. I think all sites that take up Jim's cause can lay claim to giving the MSM the verbal blunt force trauma it so richly deserves....oh and PING!!

Jim is an ordinary American and an extraordinary man, which says quite a lot about this country. Thank you, Jim, and God bless.

Couldn't help but notice how so many in high positions, having taken oaths of office, stood around with thumbs up their ass during the Klinton Krime regime. This article enlightens a lot.

With Hillary most likely running for president in 2008, it would seem only prudent to ready ourselves for the worst.

Hillary hasn't seen nothing yet from us Freepers.

The book, Hillary's Secret War, is a must read to understand how the left infiltrates web sites like FR to shape public opinion.

"FreeRepublic.com leads the field in conservative cyber-activism.'

Without a doubt. Most journalists do stories about the influence of the web and typically look at left-wing blogs while ignoring the true king of internet influence, freerepublic.
