My friend, FR is far too valuable a resource to adopt such a fatalistic attitude about the existing business model. If it no longer works, then it needs to be upgraded to one that does.

You don’t get it. It is a matter of principle. It is a test to see what we are made of. If our founders had to sell ads to get the principles of freedom communicated it just wasn’t worth it. It was about the ideas them selves. If the ideas are valuable, it does not matter the vehicle.

I can tell you have never lived on principle. It is a costly thing.

The liberals constantly think we didn’t hear their message and keep changing their presentation so that we would like it. It is their message we reject, not their methodology.

You also seem to think if we get the right method they will like our message. Not going to happen. The conservative message stands on its own.

If the success of freedom and conservatism depend on the right font, color, no hurt feelings, business model, faster computers, and all the other surface things presented in this thread, we have truly lost.....................

Then freedom is not part of who we are. It can be manipulated and bought. The means justify the ends and we are no better than liberals.

I have learned it is worth a few bucks to learn what people are made of. If people won't pony up some bucks to fund FR and buy into it on its merit, but must be sold on frills, then that is very revealing.

Stopped reading right there. If you were trying to make some point, it got zotted by that un-called for insult.
