My involvement with Free Republic began around 2000 when my wife began her vigil around the Texas governor’s mansion in support of GW against the challenge of Al Gore for the presidency. I generally provided the livelihood for the Bat Lady to be able to protest and surround the mansion against the leftists who were kept at bay across the street. While she was registered in order to post after action reports I was a lurker

Real translation: Then where would you go to find a group of people who slavishly agree with Jim Robinson and tolerate no opposition to his god Donald Trump.
"And it's now more important than ever that we keep our internet communications channel well funded and in fighting trim!!"
Fighting trim? The freeper’s who once actually fought by marching on the naval observatory during Bush v Gore or occupied the corners adjacent to the Walter Reed hospital against Code Pink are long gone, disgusted by the “Pajama warriors” who are content with their snide comments and insults substituting for thoughtful debate. Although I have not been registered on the site for a long time I have been a lurker since 2000 and have commented through my wife. I was at the Texas Capital in 2000 in support of Bush against Gore. I posted sexual predator alert signs on lampposts outside where Bill Clinton spoke. I freeped Hillary outside her house in 2003. I poll watch against voter fraud. After action reports from protest freeps were an everyday occurrence. Now freepers pretty much sit on their asses.
No wonder that FR now has constant freepathons. Its members won't put their money where their mouths are or like obamaites want everything for free.
Freepers used to denigrate Democratic Underground for the intolerance it showed. Now FR is no better.
"Like our nation, our forum has never been more divided."
FR has brought that division upon itself, substituting insults and barbs for reasoned debate. How Democratic Party-like.
Now new sites are being created that oldtime freepers are flocking to. In 2013 I wrote a vanity titled “Is Free Republic worth saving?”. Sadly I'm afraid the anwer is no.
I assume this will be my final post as I expect to be banned for expressing an honest opinion
Out of curiosity, who are you quoting.
Quotes are from the latest freepathon appeal by Jim Rob
I don’t understand the purpose of this post...
If FreeRepublic going away?? Or are you just sore that posts and comments are more accurately reflecting public opinion on the GOP primary results??
Need some cheeze with that whine? IBTZ!
And you accuse others of being nasty... GET A MIRROR!!!!
First ever excerpted vanity I’ve seen, and even more remarkable, it’s in the style of an opus.
Best wishes.
Buh bye, Drama Queen.
Because you can only ride an unlikable horse with no legs only so far.
On the main points Trump is 100% conservative and has a history of doing, building and paying lots of payroll checks.
Cruz talks, but when you look into it he isn’t that good.
I was a supporter of Cruz, but his behavior this election is most disappointing.
Don’t get your feelings hurt, this isn’t FR’s fault.
Somebody doesn’t know how to use the apostrophe. (Why is this so difficult?)
Is there something in the water? 2nd drama queen today.
So take to the streets with you’re homemade Cruz sign. I won’t be joining you.
If you aren’t a street protester, you aren’t doing anything to help. Got it.
Go away.
Well, bye.
Another cRappy Opus.
If this is an opus, it wasn’t very good.
As for Jim’s stances, Cruz was his number one pick until his campaign all but collapsed. So to proclaim that Jim sees Trump as some sort god is outright delusional. Cruz had his chance and he fell flat on his face. It is time to stand behind the front runner and fight with him against the evil of Hillary Clinton.
If you have been around since 2000, you should know that when the time comes we consolidate around the front runner in effort to defeat the Democrats. It hasn’t always worked out, but that is what is needed.
