[Jim Robinson]

Received word that disgruntled FReepers are passing the above message around underground. Let's get it aboveboard.

For those who are leaving us, thank you all vbery much for your past participation and support.

Go, Cruz, GO!!

Go, Trump, GO!!

Either way, we win, they lose.

The Rebellion is on!

God bless.

The warnings about false shepards and prophets comes to mind.

Jim Rob can back whomever he wants as long as the rest of us can back whomever we want. Then it’s all good.

[exit82]

I am staying.

Free Republic has always been a crucible, where ideas are tested.

If we succumb to acrimony, then we defeat our purpose.

Then, we become a crucible for people and not for ideas.

Loose lips sink ships—and friendships.

We are better than that.

[Repeal The 17th]

I think you should give yourself a little zot just for even posting this ink.
What a bunch of losers.
Whiners gotta whine.

[Tax-chick]

*sigh*

It’s always so tiresome when people go into these tizzies.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Wow. We support you, Jim!

God is with believers in the Word of God!

[central_va]

A major problem is a lot of libertarians mistakenly think they're true conservatives.

[DoughtyOne]

We seem to go through these melt-downs every couple of years Jim. People get wound a bit too tightly and away they go.

As FReepers we need to keep some perspective.

Advocate for your person, but don’t embarrass the hell out of them by how you do it. We all have our core beliefs, and even though we want the same end results, sometimes we differ on how to get there.

There’s no reason for us to be at each others throats.

Some of the comments to “the OTHER side’s” believers have been over the top this election season.

Neither Cruz or Trump’s supporters are flawed Conservatives. We are looking to turn this nation around, and some aspects of both men offer hope.

Argue your case and leave it at that. No need to reference the other candidate’s supporters as Nazis, victims of male on male rape, or Godless idiots. We all have reasons for our support. Some of the reasons we support either candidate are sound. It may not seem like it to others, but it’s true.

We need to back off a bit, calm down, and give reasoned support to the person we think can do the best job. Respect those who disagree.

If we all agreed, there would be no need for elections.

[windhover]

God bless you Jim, your work, and the Free Republic. I am with you all the way!

When Agents Provocateur show up, you know your strong, and FR is having a real impact on this election.

[DoughtyOne]

Sorry for yet another blow-out Jim.

People really get wound up.

Keep up the good work. I appreciate your and your son’s efforts to keep the place running very much.

Free Republic rocks!

I'm a Cruzer that is OK with Trump and I received one of these "underground" messages. I wished them well on their journey, and instead of donating to Cruz today, I'll send that bit of money to the Freepathon, much as I hate this method of raising money.

Thanks Jim, Go Cruz, Go Trump.

[Fiji Hill]

Cruz should ignore Trump and the birthers and hammer the issues—and give Glennie a wide berth.

[Eddie01]

Broken Glass Freeper Jim.

I’m here for the long haul, thick and thin.

Loyal to the end.

[PA Engineer]

I support you Jim.

Just perusing the "consistent conservative" posters. It seems that "consistent conservative" to these folks is drowning out every other voice that is different.

You did the right thing and there was a core group a few weeks ago that took over the board. What I mean by that is they intentionally multi-posted the same articles, trolled the trump threads and cut and pasted nonstop memes to every thread.

This had the effect of pushing all news off of the front page. One reason I enjoy FR is being able to peruse the latest world news and breaking news with my morning cup of coffee.

When I see Zombie accounts reanimating, I know something is very wrong.

When I see sleeper accounts coming to life repeating the same memes, I know something is wrong.

When I know of at least two Cruz bundlers on this boarded promoting their candidate and spamming, I know something is wrong.

When I see posters posting non-stop for over 24 hours and taking holidays off, I know something is wrong.

When I see the same core of posters posting the same memes that have been proven wrong, over and over again, I know something is wrong.

You did the right thing and it immediately started bring back some sanity.

All it took was 14 very bad apples a couple of weeks ago to turn this place upside down.

I thank you for what you did. I understand what you are saying, and personally will vote for Cruz if he is the nomination. Over and over it is the perfect that is the enemy of the good with these people. Liberals will always beat "Consistent Conservatives" who take their marbles and head home if they don't get what they want. Liberals keep trudging along with their agenda, even if they can't get their best candidate in.

Who is smarter? A "consistent conservative" or a liberal. We have seen it over and over again. "Consistent Conservatives" throw the elections to evil people. They pat themselves on the back for their purity while the mature conservatives suffer.

If these people can't even vote to stop the US decline and push a few conservative principals per election, then they are not conservatives.

Finally, it is your place Jim. You have done a darn good job over the years. You can't please all the people all of the time. You especially can't please the impossible ones. They have their own agenda that is contrary to Free Republic.

After that rant, I'm heading over to make another donation to FR. I kindly request others do the same.

Thanks for the great place called Free Republic.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Hahahahaha! Those feebs think I’m a staffer for the former Dewhurst campaign. This actually offends me because it’s a demotion from being accused of being Dr. James White.

[CottonBall]

“Or, if there is no purging, do we really want to continue our discussions in the forum where the owner despises us for not supporting his non-Conservative candidate?”

Are they confused? I saw specifically on the ‘let’s be civil’ thread where you said you prefer Cruz.

(caveat: Not saying I agree Trump is not conservative-his policies are more conservative than anyone else)

[Las Vegas Ron]

Received word that disgruntled FReepers are passing the above message around underground. Let's get it aboveboard.

There is a lot of recognizable names over there, good to know who the traitors are.

[GeaugaRepublican]

Thank you Jim.

Been here since 2000 election and popup every 4 years since.

Forum is still great.

We are all fortunate to have such a wonderful gathering place compared to anywhere else on the web.

Freepers are usually a pretty classy bunch in my opinion. :)

[Publius]

I’ve been here since 1997. We go through this craziness every four years, and I’ve learned to keep my head down until tempers cool. I’m not going anywhere.

[Read Write Repeat]

For over fifteen years, I thought I knew it all.

Much gratitude to you and FR for opening my eyes to the truth.
