Free Republic Founder: #NeverTrumperism Is a Losing Proposition – Will No Longer Be Tolerated

[Mechanicos]

Jim Robinson, the founder of popular conservative internet discussion board Free Republic that was founded in 1997, threw his support behind Donald Trump for president on Thursday.

Free Republic was a bitter battle ground for pro-Trump and pro-Cruz supporters this year.

Jim posted this earlier today:

    NeverTumperism is a losing proposition. Keep the communist bitch out by supporting Trump!

    Your vote. Use it or lose it.

It’s not clear if he was talking about Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in his post?

Jim Robinson also announced #NeverTrump recruiting and anti-Trump activities would no longer be tolerated at Free Republic.

    Our overriding conservative mission on Free Republic is to defend God, family, country!

    Our overriding mission on Free Republic is to preserve, protect and defend (conserve) God, family, country–and all that that entails (refer to the Declaration, Constitution, and our Judeo-Christian American heritage for details).

    Our most immediate task we must undertake at this time is keep corrupt, godless, treasonous, America-hating communists like Hillary Clinton out of power.

    Our very survival as a free nation depends upon it.

    That means FR is going all in to defeat Hillary/Bernie, et al, by supporting our America-first nominee Donald Trump to the hilt.

    Very sorry if your favorite candidate did not win the nomination and sorry if you cannot understand or agree with our mission, but those who can’t live with our immediate goal need to either keep it to themselves or sit it out (from FR) for the duration. Anti-Trump activities and NeverTrump trolling and recruiting efforts are not appreciated and are unwelcome on FR.

    The time for fighting about who may be best on our side for the job is over. It’s now time to consolidate and concentrate our firepower against our common enemy.

    Our intent is to do whatever it takes to defeat the commies in November and if you do not wish to be part of this effort, please sign off now. You can always let me know by email if you wish to rejoin us.

    Thank you very much.

Thank God, there are still patriots like Jim Robinson that put country before hurt feelings and pettiness.

...and we continue to compromise and compromise and compromise for the sake of victory until we have gone from the point of having Statesmen as leaders to shysters or worse like both parties are facing this election cycle.

Maybe if enough people stopped letting themselves be told what is or isn't a winning proposition (following in herd mentality), and just stood up for what they believe, we can stop this march towards idiocracy.

At some point, people need to stand up and say Never!

Or, as William F. Buckley put it- standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!

In my opinion Free Republic as a serious group of conservatives has lost all credibility. All!!!  They are a bunch of whiny, self-congratulating thugs.  Children.  Trump fits them perfectly.  They're a mob that is out of control and untethered to any core principles.   While there may remain some exceptions, that is the general selfie they present to the world.

Remember when your post would be removed from FR for cursing?

Good times.

I heard this analogy recently. Constantly being told you have to choose between the lesser of two evils is like telling your kids if you are going to steal a candy bar, be sure to steal the smaller one. Then you can tell the person you stole the candy bar from that you chose the lesser of two evils, and they'll praise you for it.

A lot of great Freepers were lost during the Rudy purge. Ironic that FR will be lost in support of a candidate who makes Rudy look like a cross between Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley.

[RaceBannon]

Wow. Apparently they are moderating comments now. I just tried to leave a simple comment and now someone has to approve my comment.

As long as Jim makes his $180,000 a quarter take.. I doubt he cares.  If Hillary people came in and paid best.. well.. we all know where Jim would go.

I saw on a thread that Jim was telling you to get your mind right.

In this case the choice is between stealing a snickers or stealing a mars, both equal size.

JimRob:  "Our overriding mission on Free Republic is to preserve, protect and defend (conserve) God, family, country–and all that that entails (refer to the Declaration, Constitution . . ."

If this were really true, then you wouldn't be supporting Donald Trump.

The infamous 'mute', one step prior to banning where the ministry of right speech can analyze all comments you attempt to make and just allow those through that fit the image they want, and use the others as an excuse to complete the zot. They use it to toy with someone before zotting, letting some pass and others not so you look like you have incomplete thoughts or don't make sense. They call it purgatory for a reason.

It also sounds like they can selectively release comments you make so it looks like you support a position you don't actually support.

Like the soviets used to do.

Anybody found any of his posts of a similar nature against Obama when he was running?

Exactly. They'll hold comments for days then release some here and there, putting the comments out of order from when they were made and just approving select comments that passes the ministry's censors. They can even release comments after they ban you. They just sit out in purgatory until they decide to either remove them or approve them.

Worship the orange-face Pimp!


NO!

[DCPatriot]

This was a brilliant maneuver by Jim Robinson.

Many, many thousands of people read the Gateway Pundit.

He's reaching tens of thousand of Trump Supporters who've never heard of FreeRepublic.

He's not stupid.  This is free advertising that he couldn't get anywhere at any price.

Jim Hoft, Kristinn his partner, and JR are all in cahoots together.  Disingenuous post at best.
