Free Republic is a moderated Internet forum and activist site for conservatives from the United States. Founded in 1996 by Jim Robinson, it bills itself as "the premier on-line gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web."
The website has attracted controversy for what their critics consider inappropriate calls to action posted by some of its by members, and what they view as political extremism.
