RINOs sure go nuts when you refuse to go along with their statist plans for us. Just like liberals.

By the way, I doubt I’ve ever said a cross word about Hannity. Oh, maybe a little critiquing here or there as I’m wont to do (critiquing the media is part of the job y’know) but I doubt I’ve ever kicked him under any buses.

As far as our budget is concerned, a link to it has been posted on our donation page for at least the last 10 years or so. Have no idea why anyone would think I’m trying to hide it. Not unlike most other businesses, our largest expense is compensation for the four of us who operate FR. We all have mortgages and debts and have to pay the light bills, eat and pay taxes just like everyone else. And we seldom eat at the Olive Garden. None of us are independently wealthy and I announced on FR many, many years ago that I do not have the financial wherewithal to fund it myself. This was way back when we had only a couple two or three thousand posters signed up and we out grew the service we were hosted on. We swamped them and were basically kicked off the service. We had a choice to make then, find a way to fund it or shut it down. It was just a hobby at the time so no big deal, but the FReepers thought it was worthwhile to continue. We now have over three hundred thousand accounts signed up. It was the FReepers who came up with the idea of funding FR by FReepathons. We’ve been following suit ever since.

And I’m pretty glad we continued because we had some great successes during the Clinton years. Bob Barr credited us for getting Clinton impeached. That’s one for the history books. Then there was the little blowup in 2000 when Owl Gore attempted his coup d’etat. FR was thick in that battle too. And again in 2004 when the FReepers took down Dan Rather and helped swiftboat John F’n Kerry. And, of course, our part in the 2010 tea party sweeps. And our hundreds of other smaller adventures, rallies, protests, etc, in nearly every city in this great land all during the Clinton years, the Bush years, the war years, and now the struggle to help save America from the Marxists and statists. We were the tea party before there was a tea party.

We can fold up FR and go away anytime the FReepers feel it is no longer viable or worthwhile. Either that or we could take a shot at funding it via commercial advertising. I’d rather not go that route though, if we can possibly prevent it. I think it would change the entire purpose and nature of FR. I kind of like being totally independent and genuinely grassroots oriented. And I really like the freedom to speak my mind. Well, maybe I do rant and rave a bit too much, and I’m pretty quirky, some say an ideologue or a “purist” (now that’s a laffer) and some say a tyrant even an ogre or a “mean shit” but sometimes I just can’t help myself. I was raised in an earlier time, way back when America was a free country and God and country were worth fighting for. It’s hard for an old dog to change his ways or go along with all this RINO statist b/s.

Thank you all very much for making FR the leading pro-God, pro-life, pro-liberty conservative website on the planet!!

God bless America!!

God bless the FReepers!!

FReepers ROCK the world!!

We are the resistance!!
