Chris Robinson: My Dad [our Jim Robinson] Passed Away Peacefully Monday Night (October 27th) In Our Home.
Posted on 2025-11-02 by luvie

I heard this morning from Chris Robinson that his dad had passed away on October 27, 2025. They live in Fresno, California. His beloved wife, Sheila, passed away on 11-18-2020. He is survived by his loving sons, Chris and John.
He was the founder of this important internet platform for Conservatives, and was a true patriot.
For us who were privileged to have had the chance to meet him, he was a kind a gracious man who worked hard making FReeREpublic a safe place for all of us.
He also served our country in the U S Navy.

I am posting this so people know this about a formerly influential but greatly diminished and waning website. Not putting this post in my DU Journal. I have no respect for the man or the site. It's heyday is long past. Now it is mainly populated by members who have been there more than 20 years. It is filled with back biting and name calling. It struggles every three months to get enough donations to sustain itself. It is the main haven of the QAnon suckers. Anti-woke, anti-DEI, anti-trans, anti-homosexual sentiments unite them. There are many anti-vaxxers, racists, misogynists, christian dominionists, (selectively)"pro-life" zealots, flat-earthers, creationists (including young-earthers), and bigots of innumerable varieties. In 2020 there was a massive purge of any members not orange cult members, but by now a little dissension against tRump has crept in, even there.
