Back in the summer of 2000, David Allen was running a one-man design shop for local small businesses and the occasional Democratic Congressperson who needed one of those new-fangled "websites" that everybody was talking about. Having picked up more work than he could handle alone, he hired me to help out. Just a few short months later -- inspired by the Bush coup of 2000 and our discovery of FreeRepublic.com -- we came up with the crazy idea of trying to build an online home for folks on the left; a place to get away from the conservative propaganda and trolls that infested the message boards of the era, and fight back against the right-wing media machine.

I got banned several times 15 years ago for simply asking polite questions: On immigration (ie. Why do You lock the doors of your house?); On the second amendment (Would gun ownership have prevented the Holocaust?) I got tired of the hate, but it was like a rats nest fight when you tossed logic at them and one of them tried to engage a discussion— the others pounced to enforce the ideology.
