Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site

[Learning Nomad]

As posted by its founder, Jim Robinson. They've done another purge of evolutionists there, apparently.

The Freepers are going nuts.

1. Eventually they'll purge enough guys and it will just be good ole Jim over there.

[movonne]

26. they always do the Christian thing...they are a nasty bunch..

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

53. Nah, he needs money

He'll keep the biggest marks around.

[rwheeler31]

2. This is not new these people get their panties

in a wad every day.

[PM Martin]

3. What ever happened to conservatives

anti-censorship policies? Or does that just apply to themselves....

[Fuzz]

4. lol, I was just going to post this.

Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.

We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.

We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.

Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.

For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.

And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.

FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.

And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.

Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.

FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.

We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.

Keep your powder dry.

5. It always cracks me up that Freepers spout all that pro-God, pro-liberty etc

and then spend every dollar at Wal-Mart which has turned the goddless, anti-liberty leaning Chinese into the next superpower.

[mrcheerful]

14. Didn't you hear? China isn't really a godless commie country, they are the shining beacon

of a capitalist country in it's infancy. Or thats the way it a wing nut tried to explain why buying from Wal Mart and china was ok with their wing nuttary views.

[patrice]

51. They LOVE China because it is huge virgin territory for Christian evangelism.

And Christian travel businesses that specialize in missions, a.k.a. vacations.

[EFerrari]

15. LOL! I know. It's one of life's replenishing amusements

exactly how idiotic they are.

[cliffordu]

7. I'm charmed by their message, except the last line...

Should say:

..."Keep you diaper dry..."

[Toots]

47. Pro-War, Pro Death Penalty, Pro Tobacco, Pro Gun, and most assuredly "Pro-Life"

:shrug: they are as credible as Cheney or Palin..

[nc4bo]

6. Going?

Let's just say they are the only nutless nuts I know.

[Beacho]

8. What the hell is an 'evolutionist'?

Are there also 'gravitationalist'? That term always sounded odd to me, since people who teach or research Evolutionary Science are typically biologists or in some related field. I always figured it was the Creationists version of 'Democrat Party', to paint supporters as believers in an ideology rather than being pro science.

[Cleita]

9. They used to have a photo section of the members.

I don't know if it's still there, but I never saw such an inbred group of fat, white people in my life. When I meet fellow DUers in person, they are a good looking bunch and some are really hot. The freepers are creepy.

Okay, go ahead and flame me for being a racist.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. naw, not a racist

just an uglyist!



;) :D

[mrcheerful]

10. Oh I get it, Ben Steins HBO special about ID is on HBO this month.

The one where good old conservative Stein rants about the ID scientists getting fired because they questioned Darwin while ignoring the fact that there is no proof what so ever of ID. The scientists that were fired tried making a case that because Darwinism couldn't explain something in nature that was proof of ID. I couldn't handle more then 5 minutes of the show after the credits.

[apocalypsehow]

11. Well stated and exactly right. Rec.

:thumbsup:

[WeDidIt]

12. And the hammer comes down on those who agree with science

The next purge will be the remaining Freepers who don't buy into the Birther bullshit.

[Neecy]

13. Wow

You'd think ol' Jumbo would want to keep a Big Tent - moneywise. Every one of his purges costs him cash, although he probably has enough stashed away to keep him comfy for life.

[Renew Deal]

16. Some of them object to RimJob pointing out they a "fringe RW christian fundamentalists."

But they are. If they weren't RimJob would say thay are fringe RW conservative believers. My problem with them isn't that they pretend to be Christians. My problem is that they are willfully ignorant and aren't even willing to accept their own.

[Froward69]

17. They are good enough, Ideolocical enough and doggonit People

still hate them.

HAHAHAHA I was gonna post this.

[grasswire]

18. a new low --- freeper can't even spell the name of his state

19. And they call us the thought police!

Geeze. Today evolution, tomorrow what? You must believe in a geocentric universe?

[Feron]

20. Don't forget racist.

Their comments about Michelle Obama in particular were disgusting.

[Saphire]

44. ARE disgusting. They haven't stopped.

[FLAprogressive]

21. this is news?

[niceypoo]

22. They are 'cult' that comes out of christianity

They aren't Christians. They are a suicide cult that worships money. God is used only to justify seeking money and power, and attacking their 'enemies'. The rapture they wish for doesn't exist in the bible. What they call the rapture is a biblical event involving Jews, not Christians.

When I confronted my aunt on this fact she tried to claim that they were the, 'lost tribe of Israel.' When spewing her religious crap she constantly quips, 'We're not a cult.'

I work with a republican baptist minister. When discussing religion with him, he goes back and forth between Christianity and GOP talking points seamlessly. In his mind they are one in the same.

I would love for someone, anyone, on a talk-show to confront them as an apocalyptic suicide cult. Particularly when they are attacking Islam as dangerous.

[safeinOhio]

25. Quick, some one start a thread over there about what

Ayn Rand thought about a God. That'll thin em out.

[MilesColtrane]

23. Giuliani is an abortionist?

Hey Rimjob, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[madrchsod]

24. what god would that be?

[Ohio Joe]

27. Try again jim, you run a hate site - nt

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

28. and... a cost effective alternative to Lexis-Nexis

[Cheap_Trick]

29. This just in......water is wet.

Unless of course you get powdered water.

[alittlelark]

30. That FR post was actually rather sad.

It reeked more of desperation than fortitude.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

31. Hopefully they'll just simply implode one day nt

[katanalori]

32. Oy Vey

I went into the site and read through 4 pages of comments. Among the "amens" and "right ons!" there were a couple of people that made sense.

Capt.Ron seems displeased, as he ponders the possibility of evolution.

Someone else is baffled that, as a Jew, he is no longer welcomed.

Yet.............

One timidly asks "what are we supposed to believe about climate change?"
(at least he gets it that he is not allowed to form his own opinions anymore).

[SpiralHawk]

41. "What are we supposed to believe?" - How perfectly republicon

No wonder they swallow the codswallop of a draft-dodging, drug-abusing clown like Rush Limbaugh, who get paid $40 million a year to lie to them.

They just bend over and take it, unable or unwilling to face reality and think for themselves...

[Initech]

33. Oooooooooh... dissenting opinions! Scary shit!

[Ghost in the Machine]

34. That whole site doesn't have the collective IQ of a fruit fly..

just sayin'....

[ebayfool]

36. I've been wandering around the net lately, & Yahoo groups ...

seem to have attracted a lot of the batshit crazies that would be at home at FR.

It's skeery out there!

[Ghost in the Machine]

38. A bunch of them probably came from the bellsouth chatrooms when they shut them down..

There was some looney tunes on there, too.. I took a screen-cap and turned one guy in to the Secret Service for making threats against Obama during the primaries...

Peace,

Ghost

[Monk06]

35. FR is just an internet blog roll/search engine spam site. It's a propaganda vehicle for the rich

RW Fundies. Just compare how slow the their 3rd
quarter fund drive was compared to the 4th quarter.

The 4th quarter drive coincided with the HCR bill and
the donations came in lightning speed. The last drive
ended in about three weeks.

Jim Rob has a nice scam going for him with the anti evo,
anti union, anti choice, anti infinitum .... RW Xtian crowd.

Money for nuthin and checks for free. I bet that creep JR
doesn't care about half the hate issues he allows to be
posted on his site as long as he gets his $344,000 a year.

[musicblind]

39. I'm pretty sure the majority of Christians believe in Evolution

OR if not the majority then a good portion does. I'm Christian and believe in evolution because I have a rational and intelligent mind. I don't even, personally, believe the Bible disagrees with evolution. But apparently that's just me.

[piratefish08]

45. Wrong. Among weekly churchgoers, 24 percent believe in evolution

Among weekly churchgoers, 24 percent believe in evolution, while 41 percent do not and 35 percent have no opinion. Among those who seldom or never attend church, 55 percent belief in evolution, while 11 percent do not, and 34 percent have no opinion.

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/god-and-country/2009/02/11/gallup-darwins-birthday-poll-fewer-than-four-in-ten-believe-in-evolution.html

Scary, huh?

[olegramps]

49. Why is there such profound stupidity among the those of the religious right?

[nomaco-10]

40. NO SHIT.....

most of us figured that out long time ago.

Glad you took the time to expose their hypocrisy once again.

Your epiphany is not without merit, we've been discussing their bullshit for years.

But, we are just now getting around to trying to figure out if obama is one of them half the time.

SNAP.

[MrScorpio]

42. It looks like the rallying cry of a gaggle of deviant dumbasses. Nt

[panzerfaust]

43. ? Going

[COLGATE4]

46. Nothing more

than a box of rocks with a computer, talking with other boxes of rocks

[olegramps]

48. These people's ignorance is appalling.

How can these people be so damn stupid? I can only add to Sinclair Lewis's warning that "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross," it will also be wearing a dunce hat.

[Stables2010]

50. Ha there is nothing Christian about that vile pitt.

[walldude]

52. Why does anyone from here go there? I don't get it...

It's not like they have anything new to say and it's not like I can't predict what they are going to say on a daily basis. I got PM'ed a link the other day to a conservative site that had one of my posts on it. The poster had to spend an hour writing their response, like they thought I would actually go there and read it. In this one instance I did,(The post was at the top of the front page here with nearly 400 recs) and considering the post was trashing the destruction of a useful health care bill it was something they should have been able to get behind. Instead they spent whatever time they did trashing me and DU personally instead of realizing that we were basically on the same page.

This is why I can't stand to deal with Republicans, they'll argue with you even when they agree with you. Just because you aren't one of them.

[Learning Nomad]

55. 'cuz I'm a "learning NOMAD!" :) n/t

[Rage for Order]

54. Wow, what a god-awful interface they have on that site

Really makes one appreciate the format of DU

[flvegan]

56. Speaking of evolution, that site is soooo...1995 or so.
