Using Free Republic To Voice Your Opinions But Not Helping to Pay the Bills
Editorial ^ | 8 Nov 11 | Xzins

Posted on 11/08/2011 5:17:20 PM PST by xzins

Gratitude is all about thanking someone who has done you a favor of some sort. Ingratitude is failing to recognize that favor.

All over freeperland thousands of opinions are registered daily from those who use these pages. Whether touting their favorite candidate or sharing a new idea, those on Free Republic get a chance to share their conservative opinions. (Other opinions are zapped since this is a conservative forum.)

A freepathon raises money to keep Free Republic running. Participating in the freepathon is as easy as clicking on the links provided for that purpose. Such as: Donate here

The best show of gratitude for the opportunity FR gives you to get your thoughts seen by thousands of people is to share the expense.

It's a little bit odd to brag about supporting Cain or Perry or Gingrich (or whomever) on a website you are not helping to support. Those folks at Free Republic must be really nice to allow you to do that. Show your gratitude by supporting FR today.

I donate but never get credit on the list of donors. I even put my name in the comment box this time. But I do donate.

Yup. Like I’ve said..there are “liberals” on the forum who won’t even fork over a measly 5 bux to FR every 3 months. Maybe it’s time to for a pay per post program and end this Freepathon stuff.

When this kenyan is done destroying the country, your 50 dollars will be 50 pesos.

As was thinking that myself, I love FR, but it’s hatred of all things LDS seems a bit much. I would hesitate to send money to people who hate Romney more than Obama. Romney is not my guy but he is miles ahead of Obama.

I used to donate as a monthly donor. Then I donated when I could. There is just too much nastiness and many who attempt to be the judge of what a conservative is and who they should support. Some cliques on FR have a full time jobs smearing candidates with repeated lies that have been proven to false. Piranha’s feeding on flesh comes to mind when I reflect on the behavior observed.

So I don’t donate much and I don’t say much anymore. I guess it balances out. I’ve paid my share to keep the lights on. The cliques can carry the torch.

Maybe if the Republic survives the elections, I’ll feel generous and start contributing again.

At least Obama won’t corrupt the GOP any more than it already is. Romney has stated that his intention is to moderate the GOP.

They are both enemies of conservatives.

lol.

Romney and Obama. One of them has stated his goal is to moderate the GOP.... the other is Obama.

They are both the enemy.

Romney vs Obama is a false choice.
