One more time:
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 & Liberty trolls will be ZOT on sight!!
grandmothers...especially great grandmothers seem to be stand outs. :)

"I have actually been a member since the Spring of 1997. One day I wanted to change my screen name. "
I find it interesting that you're claiming to have been here for longer than the Boss's sign up date.
Very interesting posting history you have there. You have a two page posting history starting in 2001 (clearly your sign up date) with a two year gap in it.
As far as this comment....
I like it all but the "pro-life... should stay away" part. I think pro-lifers are fighting for something important and have great points. As someone who has converted a lot of Dems to vote Republican I think this issue kills us. I think there needs to be a third group in the abortion conversation just besides just pro-life and pro-choice. How about something like "pro-I-Dont-Want-Govenerment-to-make-Pro-Life-or-Pro-Choice-laws".
We've seen it before, from liberal trolls posing as libertarians.
The *I'm personally opposed to abortion, but......* line is as old as they come. You are just trying a new variation on it.
Abortion is murder. There is no other side.
As one of our astute FReepers once said, "Anyone who supports the freedom to choose an abortion, supports the freedom to obtain an abortion. It’s the same thing. You cannot support the choice without supporting the action."....BykrByab

Where, where???
It’s easy to have been at FR “before the boss’ sign in date”. Many tens of thousands of us had to REREGISTER ~
But a page and a half long posting history after nine years???
It’s been awhile for me, so I’m not up on the latest lingo. What the heck is a “Liberty” troll and how can I spot them.
A troll who is anti-life & liberty. Anti-life and anti-liberty. Anti-(life & liberty), etc. Your common everyday liberal or RINO troll. Site pests. Pestilence. Insects. Cockroaches. Rodents. Donkeys.
They don’t want social issues included because where those folks come down on social issues would identify them as the Jackasses that they are. Whole bunch of braying going on down there with those people...
So, like, uh, what do you guys stand for?
Thanks for the good work, though there’s a lot more debate on conservative side than on the left side. That’s why we’re more dynamic I believe; we have to support our arguments.
To be a lib is kinda sad all you have to do is believe everything a nut d’jour says and not think for yourself.
Oh, and I look forward to contributing, not that I ever was a big contributor, once my work situation gets squared away.
:D
Jim, you know, I'm an economic Libertarian and a Constitutional Christian conservative, and like the values represented here.
But I thought this was meant to be a forum of ideas. It seems what's being said is, "If you're a liberal, stay away."
I think that would be a big mistake. Any conservative who knows his stuff can beat a lib in the battle of ideas any day and twice on Sunday. This is not only an opportunity for people to observe the debate and see for themselves the truth of what we stand for, but also a golden opportunity to change some liberals' minds.
How do you build an internet site where ideas can be debated in a grown-up and respectful way? Maybe it's not doable, I don't know. I know there's a lot personal attacks that go on here like elementary school playground mentality. That will never win anyone over. And many of these people are ripe for the picking if they're treated right.
I think what we stand for is so good, we should export it and not be afraid of debate if we know we're on the side of what's good and true. In the light of day, truth always beats lies.
God Bless.
FreeRepublic.com, est 1996 and growing strong. We have NEVER welcomed liberals here and never will. FR is a more or less liberal-free zone. We don’t debate scumbags, we ZOT them.
Retreating into our shell does nothing to change the world nor does it better our lives. I think we've got something worth exporting - something that's good and can change others for good.
Hey! If you wish to debate liberals got to DU!! Or start your own damn website!! Keep it off FR!!
Sure wish you'd consider expanding the original idea to maybe a special section where people like me would be willing to engage these people in a grown-up debate. They're sitting ducks in the forum of ideas. They are absolutely no threat because as I say, in the light of open and grown-up debate, truth beats lies every time. Could turn a few heads, who knows?
