Just a bunch of right-wing extremists, clinging to our guns and religion! FReepathon thread XVI

Well, I keep getting notes from readers telling me why donations are down. And I guess it's not because of the economy or the depression or that the GOP is in a terrible slump or any of that stuff. The number one complaint seems to be that we on FR apparently have more faith in God than man or science. We support Liberty as defined by our Founding Fathers and we don't support moderates (RINOs), socialism, universal healthcare, abortion, the gay agenda or any of that modern poofter stuff that we're supposed to be supporting. We just don't believe that government is the solution to our problems.

Let's face it. Free Republic is now populated by nothing but a bunch of right-wing extremists, clinging to our guns and religion!

Guess that makes some people nervous.

Hoo yah!!

[Syncro]

But thankfully not sour!

Bwaaaaaaahhh!!!

[Jim Robinson]

Just got a note from an anonymous former FReeper pledging to mail a thousand dollar check. He says the number one reason why donations are down is because FR DOES support RINOs. Gave George W. Bush as a prime example. Guess we should’ve supported Gore or Kerry!!

But don’t think I’ll count on receiving that check. It’d probably bounce anyway.

Woo hoo!!

Left-wing extremists at D.U. (Democratic Underground) called for the "communistic-islamic" overthrow of U.S. in 2004
Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 1:50:33 PM ET by ETL:

"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds."

"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2228933/posts

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you, ETL!!

Every left-wing site out there (and some so-called conservative ones too) are now convinced that Free Republic’s days are numbered. All I can say is the rumors of our untimely retreat from the field are grossly exaggerated!!

Surrender? Hell no! When they have you surrounded, you attack in every direction! It’s a target rich environment!

We have not yet begun to fight!!

[reaganaut1]

Jim,

I just made my 1st contribution to FR, $100. Guns and religion are not the most important to issues to me (I don’t a gun and don’t believe in God), but I am really concerned about America’s march toward socialism under Obama.

I guess many Freepers would say that it’s easier to march unarmed people toward socialism.

Thanks for the site.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I signed up for a monthly donation. I challenge all Freepers do do the same.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, reaganaut1!!
