OK, FReepers! It's time we took the fight to them!

Today | RandallFlagg

[RandallFlagg]

This is not bashing Free Republic.com, nor it is bashing members here. On the contrary, this place is one of the best sites for news, information and opinions on the web.

But, to be honest, sticking around here and chatting amongst ourselves is just preaching to the choir. We need to go on the offensive.

I've been going to the Metallica.com message boards and raising hell in what I call, "Hostile Territory". I haven't turned many to our side, but I have educated many. It's really a challenge. Others have probably been doing this for a while now.

I think we need to do more of this. We should find any site with a forum that has any threads that say things like, "Bush Sucks," or, "America imperialist killers," or the like. I'm starting this thread to try and make a place that we FReepers can use to gather and consolidate our sources and facts. Also we can use it as a place to bring up arguments that are just so silly and childish, that they should be read and laughed at by others.

I, for one, am sick of being on the defensive all the time. So, I crush all the lies with facts gathered on the web and all the conservative books I own. If more of us did the same, we'd be an even stronger force to be reckoned with..

Remember the rules of the other forums, debate with dignity and logic. Expect to be banned from these sites sometimes.

Our President said, "Bring it on." This is what I'm doing.

Good luck!

Here's a list of my information sources and debating weapons:

Appetite For Evil: Terrorism Timeline

Free Republic Bump Lists

List of UN Resolutions

Good governmental search engine

Rush Limbaugh (TONS of great resources in the pay site!)

Google Advanced Search (Used correctly, one can find almost anything!)

 

Any More? Put 'em here!

I have joined RandallFlagg at the Metallica chat boards to do some educating. But not nearly as much as RandallFlagg has. He has been all over the boards there dishing some common sense, history, reality, and the truth.

Randall, The show in Atlanta was great! I hope you get to see them this summer.

[CyberAnt]

This is why we formed chapters to FReep our local communities. FReeping the internet is fine, but joining a local chapter takes it to them in your local city or town.

You wanna go to the Lion's Den? Go to Liberty Post. I just hope you can stomach the people there (including FR's Marching Banned) calling you every name in the book.

[fish hawk]

Wow, I went to Liberty yesterday because I hear it mentioned all the time. Went to Bikers Bar, talk about F.R.bashers and Bush haters, there they are. I saw enough to turn me off. Seems like all the radicals that have been removed from F.R. are over there spewing their hurt egos like lava from Kilawea.

[RandallFlagg]

HMMM! Pardon my drooling in anticipation...

Could ya post a link?

Also, What are your sources for your debates?

[RandallFlagg]

Thnaks for the link! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

[backhoe]

Thanks for looking!

[Spiff]

Let me make myself clear on one thing: I assume no responsibility if reading the posts there causes your eyes to bleed.

I've chastized them on LP for constantly bashing FR. Many agree with me there. That doesn't mean that there aren't a few hardcore anti-FR types there. Maybe they'll chill out once their anger dies.

But, where do you think that people fairly or unfairly banned from FR should go? Do you not understand their anger and frustration at their perceived mistreatment?

I would hope that FR can peacefully co-exist with other conservative forums like LP - and try to work together to actually do something - instead of constantly sniping at each other and neutralizing our potential as a political force.

If someone at LP planned to come over here and disrupt, that would be wrong. Yet HouMatt was over there yesterday stirring things up and now he's inviting others to go over there and cause problems too.

LP should leave FR alone. FR should leave LP alone.

Call me a Pollyanna, I don't care. This internal bickering, sniping, and splintering is what hurts conservatives the most.

[RandallFlagg]

Perhaps I should have specified...

It would be best if the sites to engage in debate are ones moderated by fair-minded folks with an almost equal amount of sides of political opinion. The Metallica site works and it's about 30% conservative to 60% liberal-don't care. The Mods there aren't rabid creepshows like the ones at DU-h. I apologize and should have made that clear.

I hope to gain followers and enlighten the young and uninformed, not start hate-fests -which is usually what happens if the odds are too stacked against me.

[Phantom Lord]

Ya, i have a disc of their songs. Funny stuff.

[backhoe]

Spiff, I agree with every word you wrote. Thanks for saying that.

[snopercod]

Here's one who got banned (later reinstated, but never came back) for suggesting that one might as well vote for a democrat as Liddy Dole: Opus de Darth Sidious

mrcranky.com

this is a comedic movie review website but under the reviews you can post about anythingyou want and there area lot of anti bush people posting there i think a freep of the site will even things up a bit

[Gopher Broke]

I love FreeRepublic and I agree. Informing each other is very good but just talking is a waste of time.

Please folks, get active. One way is mentioned above..you can take the fight to them at various websites.

Another is to get involved in your LOCAL and STATE Republican party. This is an off year in most states (not here in VA or in NJ) so a good time for party building.

No, I dont agree with every Republican in the world but the Republican party is the best chance we have to stop the liberal train of encroaching Socialism.

Other ideas:
- Write letters to the editor often
- Join conservative groups that fund CONSERVATIVES ONLY, like Madisonproject.org
- Go to meetup.com and schedule CONSERVATIVE or REPUBLICAN meetings in your local town.

Bottom line, we need action more than words right now to save our country from the left!!
