It may surprise you to hear this but nobody cares about FR. This place isn’t even close to being subversive enough to be a problem to the powers that be.

The days when FR was an idea generation factory are well behind us.

FR may be on the conservative side of the Overton Window but it’s still safely ensconced within it. As long as it is, it is no threat to anyone.

I disagree, sir.

I have personally been cited more than once in national Conservative conversations (radio and electronic print).

I’ve made a difference in other ways, too, using this as my platform. I’ve gotten ideas and good counter-attacks to the people who needed them, often through an intermediary.

Larry S (LS) is a prodigious influence on current events, and he uses FR primarily.

There are a few of us here.

Dan Rather hates us.

That's a winner for me ;-)

Tell that to the pizzagate sleepers. Seems more than a few are still interested in a few taboo subjects.

Sad, but true.

“The days when FR was an idea generation factory are well behind us.”

I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s nothing like it was 15, or even 10, years ago.

That’s because of certain topical and speech limitations meaning nothing inflammatory can be said here.

Exactly

FR has completely lost any revelance it ever had

The government knows and doesn’t even bother to monitor us
