Romney will not distance himself from RomneyCare. Here's why: Romney wants to impose RomneyCare on all 50 states!! That is absolutely correct. He's already recruited Florida's Attorney General Pam Bondi as his healthcare czar to get it done. Romney claims that he wants to repeal ObamaCare, but he's already lined up Pam Bondi to head up his national healthcare task force to push RomneyCare on all 50 states. After all that has been said and written about socialized healthcare and individual mandates, Romney and Bondi, still LOVE RomneyCare and should he become president will attempt to impose it on ALL...

<p>I'm officialy endorsing Newt Gingrich for president today. Was going to wait until after Florida, but see no reason to delay. We need Newt to win in South Carolina and Florida to stop any possible momentum building up for the establishment big government, statist, abortionist RINO!!</p>

Tea party favorite and pro-life conservative Sarah Palin and her family were viciously attacked to the point she chose not to run. Congressional Tea Party Caucus leader and constitutional pro-life conservative Michele Bachmann had early promise, but I guess came across as too "shrill" and consequently her numbers driven down to the point she exited. Successful pro-life conservative Texas Governor Perry hit the race at the top but due to missteps and less than stellar debate performances soon fizzled and is now all but gone. Pro-life conservative businessman Cain and his famous 9-9-9 plan had promise, but was driven out...

I just started a new facebook page as a place for grassroots conservatives to urge Virginia to allow the leading Republican contender for the presidency onto the Virginia ballot. Gingrich is the Republican leader nationwide and in Virginia! It's absolutely ludicrous, if not criminal, for Virginia to deny the conservative base and tea party favorite a spot on the ballot while they promote their elite ruling class RINO! Do not allow Virginia to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of conservative grassroots voters who would mark their ballots for Newt Gingrich! Adding insult to injury, they don't even allow write-ins on their...

News Release Americans For Truth About HomosexualityNovember 10, 2011; Contact: Peter LaBarbera: americansfortruth@gmail.comCHICAGO—The discovery that former Penn State University defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky has been molesting boys as young as 10 years old – and that university officials including head coach Joe Paterno did not do more to apprehend this predator – has shocked America. Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), said the scandal exposes the continuing problem of homosexual predators in society. He offers the following observations related to the PSU scandal: Many openly homosexual (“gay”) men, like CNN anchor Don Lemon, were molested as...

I wish to direct your attention to a FreeRepublic music thread hosted by Racehorse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTraKC8Dx18 The thread is heavily dependent upon Youtube. But surely, Freepers know music and can contribute . . . and contribute to software/technology which makes life and music so much easier to enjoy . . . however oldj or young we might be.

<p>They'll have to come back to you. DEMAND a REAL CUT in spending!! Do not under any circumstance approve a debt ceiling increase!! Instead, insist on real spending cuts NOW!! The country is bankrupt. Do not allow them to take us deeper into debt! It's time for the HOUSE to do it's job of controlling the spending!</p>

This ain't rocket science. The country is going bankrupt because of big spending, big taxing, big government Marxists, socialists, liberals, progressives, moderates and RINOS!! We don't need a higher credit limit or higher taxes. We need to cut the damned government! Cut the spending! Cut the stifling regulations! Cut the taxes!! Cut it NOW!! Not ten years from now, not five years from now, not two years from now, CUT IT NOW!! Get the government out of our pockets, out of our faces, out of our business, off our backs and OUT of our lives!! Set our people free, turn...

A special gathering of like minded conservative individuals will have a picnic on July 23 at the Dixon Property. A few famous souls might be brave enough to gather around a campfire and spin a few tales. With camera in hand we hope the famous photographer Elsie of Indiana will be able to leave his goat herd long enough to join in the festivities. On July 24 we will celebrate the morning in silence as we enjoy a rendering or two of In the Garden to honor one of our famous guests. The famous western entertainer Robin Arnold will join...

I'm seeing thread and posts condemning those who are questioning the BC issue and the OBL issue. People who are asking are being called names and belittled for those questions. I will say up front that I am a "Trust but Verify" person. That's why I like Free Republic. It has been a long standing tradition to put everything out, all facts, rumors and questions. The group then sorts them and comes up with a reasonable conclusion. If you doubt that, read the book, "Hillary's Secret War" by FReeper Richard Poe. You will see how it happened back in the...

A judge on Friday signed an order finding an Oregon nonprofit did not infringe on copyrights when it posted without authorization an entire story from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The order granting summary judgment in favor of the Center For Intercultural Organizing (CIO) of Portland, Ore., was expected. U.S. District Judge James Mahan said during a March 18 hearing he planned to dismiss a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against the CIO on fair-use grounds. The lawsuit was filed by Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas company that has teamed up with the Review-Journal and the Denver Post to file 265 copyright...

How is Jim doing? I have not heard anything since we learned he was going to the hospital. He has been in my prayers.

Jim went to the VA hospital this afternoon for his scheduled checkup. They admitted him. His remaining leg is not looking good. Three surgeons will confer tomorrow morning on whether and when his right leg will be amputated. When I talked to him this afternoon, he consented to me asking for prayers regarding this latest health issue.

The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals? "She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too." SNIP Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol. On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make...

Hey, Admiral, did you see Free Republic's pro-life, pro-family disclaimer?Mom's gonna be real happy when we tell her ... ya think it's a good time to ask for a sister?

Sarah Palin calls out that liar, slimebag punk at Politico, one, Jonathan Martin, during her conversation with Glenn Beck on his radio show this morning! Direct Link ENJOY!

Jim Robinson got a kiss from Sarah Palin! Go to the FReepathon to see what happened!

Happy 40th Wedding AnniversaryJim and Sheila Robinson We thank you for your contributions to the Republic in so many ways. May your day be fun as you celebrate today & may you have many more years of happiness together

...Summing up a universal Tea Party sentiment, Freerepublic.com founder Jim Robinson said at a Georgia rally, “I would like to see this country go back to the Constitution—get rid of all this socialism.”...

Bracing BrewBring on the Tea Parties! By MYRON MAGNET From City Journal The Tea Party movement is a healthy reminder that the United States began as a tax revolt. From the 1765 Stamp Act Congress, when the American colonists first called their representatives together to declare their "undoubted right . . . that no taxes be imposed on them, but with their own consent," to the Boston Tea Party eight years later . . . (Excerpt) Read more at: the Wall Street Journal. The article includes a quote from our leader: Summing up a universal Tea Party sentiment, Freerepublic.com founder...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Pain is turning down an invitation to speak at one high-profile conservative gathering while accepting another. Palin is declining an invitation to address the Conservative Political Action Conference next month because, a source said, she does not want to be affiliated with the longtime organizer of the traditional movement confab. At issue is the role of David Keene, head of the American Conservative Union which organizes CPAC. In September, POLITICO reported that Keene asked FedEx for between $2 million and $3 million to get the group's support in a bitter legislative battle with rival UPS. ***A...

Since my registration on this site, January 15, 2004, I look forward to the New Year and my fifth anniversary with the finest "Red Staters" across the globe. It is this place that exhibits more generosity than every country combined. There is no finer place on the Internet. Never forget it is the coupe de grace of the coupe de tat. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, "Free Republic has some of the finest minds I’ll ever know." There is no better example of generosity and kindness than Free Republic. Since it’s founding, Jim Robinson has...

I worry about our freedoms and I worry about my children's future. Free Republic and its members form an important voice for liberty and have become an important depository of information and communication that I view as vital to keeping our citizens and my children free. Tonight I will be making a sizable donation online and I suggest you consider giving something, any amount, to keep this beacon shinning. Thank you Jim Robinson for your courage, tenacity, and values.

The founder of the website "Free Republic", Jim Robinson, has joined a growing boycott of the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) due to a homosexual activist group sponsoring the event. GOProud, a group that advocates same-sex "marriage," a repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and "expanding access to domestic partner benefits" for homosexuals, is listed as a sponsor of the event at CPAC's website. Mr. Robinson has joined a number of conservative activists including Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver, and Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of...

Jim....There are 100's of Freepers here:CALLING ALL PATRIOTS...WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE????!!!!! and in your own thread, here:If healthcare passes the socialist coup d'etat has advanced beyond the point of no return! who are begging for someone to step up to the plate and provide a platform that will give Conservatives the ability to get the attention of Washington....no...."PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THEM!!! Spectre said it best: "WE NEED A PLAN PLEASE SOMEONE STEP FORWARD We need a LEADER who is not afraid of their political future. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE STEP FORWARD “ I respectfully submit that...

Let's face it FRiends, if the unconstitutional healthcare bill passes, the socialist coup d'etat will have advanced well beyond the point of no return! There is nothing in the constitution that authorizes this illegal federal power-grab and plenty that forbids it. If the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Marxist attempted coup pulls this off without the people resisting to the hilt, then they'll have no restrictions whatsoever on implementing the rest of their Liberty killing Marxist agenda. America will be no more. The whole idea of our constitution is to severely restrict the federal government to only its dozen and a half expressly listed...

Jim, thank you for your service to others and this country.

Happy Birthday Jim Robinson We appreciate the hard work and dedication you have made towards the cause of conservatism.

<p>Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.</p> <p>1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.</p>

Happy BirthdayFree Republic(13) Thank you JimRob (or is it that Thompson fella?)for the memories, frustrations with friends & foe, love, and friendships forged over the years.

I went dumpster diving out back behind the “Lizard Lounge” over at 1.0 and found this apparent rough draft of a post Charles might be planning. Looks like he’s discovered yet more dangerous right wing extremists who are planning a revolution. (By the way, folks, this is satire.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following up on my post from yesterday that outed Jim Thompson, the founder of the right wing website Free Republic, for calling for a revolution to overturn the results of last November’s election, it seems the kook right wing fringe blogosphere’s case of Obama Derangement Syndrome is getting even worse. Obviously...

<p>Jim Robinson, founder of right wing website Free Republic, has decided he’s going to toss out the results of the last election, remove Barack Obama from office, repeal the 16th and 17th amendments to the US Constitution (and Roe v. Wade, of course), abolish a host of government agencies, and give all governmental power to individual states...</p>

(Note: this report is a paraphrase based on memory, not tape. Any inaccuracies will be corrected down thread by me or other FReepers.)Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly responded on The Factor tonight to criticisms of his attacks last night on Free Republic and Hot Air by the sites' respective founders, Jim Robinson and Michelle Malkin. The segment last night was on reaction by right and left wing websites on the Judge Sotomayor nomination to the Supreme Court. Free Republic was singled out for an obnoxious comment about Sotomayor being diabetic. Hot Air was singled out for an impolitic strongly...

Re: Your on-air bashing of Free Republic So, you think that because one poster on FR comments that a diabetic supreme court nominee might not live to a ripe old age that all 350,000 of us are insensitive right-wing loons? Got news for you pal. The owner of Free Republic (namely me) is diabetic and I've already lost one leg due to this despicable disease and the other leg looks like it's ready to fall off any day now. My sister died of complications brought on by juvenile diabetes at the tender age 43. I've out-lived her in years, but...

I went to visit Sen. Arlen Specter to save him from an embarrassing pro-stimulus vote that will damage America's economy and send the nation back to 1970s-style stagflation. Jim Robinson, founder of FreeRepublic.com, and I arrived at Sen. Specter's office with a group of folks who oppose the $1.5 trillion stimulus package, on this past Monday morning. We asked to see Sen. Specter. The office secretary didn't seem to be happy to see us. I could not blame her. We were there to embarrass her boss. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked about the senator's whereabouts, but the secretary wasn't...

Today on the Glenn Beck show on Fox News, Ann Coulter mentioned the difference between Conservatives and Liberals and who funds and represents them. Of course the liberals are funded by billionaire Marxists like George Soros. She mentioned that the Conservative Movement "bubbles" up from grass roots, like someone from a Lawyer family who goes on radio and is fired over and over again, and Free Republic, started by "Just some guy from out in California," a reference to Jim Robinson and this site, the Premire Conservative Website on the www.

New Freeper met Jim Robinson today - standing up for Americans at the capitol, fighting to not give our country to socialist Obama.

<p>Sen. Arlen Specter must feel like one lucky man today. He wasn’t in his Capitol Hill offices when MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan, Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Freepers and Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, and other patriotic citizens stormed his office to demand he reverse his position supporting the porkulus bill, aka the Barack-Blowing-Through- Dollars-Scheme.</p>

Cornyn: Fla. Senate race 'open field' By POLITICO STAFF | 2/9/09 4:25 AM EST  Pressure Mounts On GOP Supporters The three Senate Republicans who say they’ll support the $827 billion economic recovery plan are facing pressure from both sides of the debate. A group of stimulus opponents led by Free­Republic.com founder Jim Robinson and Move America Forward chairwoman Melanie Morgan plans to protest outside the office of Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) at 10 a.m. Monday before moving on to the offices of Maine Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. Meanwhile, the group Americans United for Change is running...

I am posting this up early tonight.35 last night 32 the night before

A Democrat is poised to take the reins of power in Washington, D.C., and Fresno resident Jim Robinson is feeling a sense of deja vu. It was President Bill Clinton's 1992 election that sparked Robinson's political activism, driving him to create a Web site that made him a grass-roots leader among conservatives before Clinton's term was over. This year, as Barack Obama prepares to sweep into office on another tide of Democratic votes, Robinson and denizens of that Web site, freerepublic.com, are preparing to do battle again. "We'll double and redouble our efforts to fight for what is right," Robinson...

Revising and extending my remarks: We're receiving lots of complaints lately from freshly banned liberals, trolls and malcontents. Well, Free Republic has not changed and will not change. We are NOT "fair and balanced." Never will be. We are biased toward God, country, Life and Liberty. Marriage, family and traditional values. Constitution, inalienable rights, private property and limited government. Small government, small spending, small taxes. National security, national sovereignty, strong defense and secure borders. Individual rights, individual responsibility and self-government. Privacy, individual and family security, self-defense and right to keep and bear arms. Rights to freely exercise our religion, freedom...

Governor Sarah Palin! Or, actually, what she signifies. We've often stated on FR that if the Republicans would only run true conservatives then we'd win more elections. We'd keep the White House, build conservative majorities in congress, replace liberal activist judges with original intent constitutionalists, and eventually overturn Roe v Wade and begin rolling back some of the damage inflicted upon our beloved republic by the socialists and liberals. John McCain's bold choice of the unabashed pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, small government, strong defense, fiscal conservative, Sarah Palin, signifies a return to conservatism within the Republican Party. And the...

The infection on Jim's right ankle flared up again about three weeks ago. They tried treating it with antibiotics but they had no effect. When Jim went in on Wednesday for followup visit and possibly a new prescription, they admitted him for tests and intravenous antibiotics. He was told that he would be there until at least Monday. They are not anticipating more surgery at this time.
