mick, after reading the first 50 or so posts, my first reaction can be summed up as follows:
I'll keep reading to see if I can offer further insight, but so far Sarah says it best.

The Miami Herald and Chicago Tribune have practically announced bankruptcy and are both now valued at less than the value of the real estate they own (prime bay-front property in Miami and a skyscraper in Chicago).
Even better, McClatchy Newspapers itself, a newspaper chain with a documented anti-male bias, is saddled with so much debt that it will probably not last through 2009...

A vestige of Andrew Marton’s article can be found at FreeRepublic.com where you can see that this once-conservative forum is now dominated by man-hating old women and FReepers discussing the story were no allowed to mention the word feminism in regard to the FReeper nmh’s hate-filled diatribes against men who would date foreign women (I know first-hand that any such comments mentioning feminism were deleted).
Exhibit C: The forum FreeRepublic.com was once a place for conservative men to bash feminism freely and often. It was the favorite topic for years. But, since early 2006, most anti-feminist FReepers have had their accounts deleted so as not to antagonize the aging baby boomer females the crippled owner, Jim Robinson, wants to keep in the Republican Party. Jim Robinson’s attitude seems to be just like that of Rupert Murdoch of Fox News…he seems to think that “strong feminist women” should be the backbone of the Republican Party. This is insane. I do NOT think these men are motivated by the concept that 80% of corporate purchase decisions are made by women.
It is easy to logon as a member of the once-mighty conservative FreeRepublic.com. Try doing so and mentioning feminism in a comment somewhere. See how quickly you can be deleted.
Then watch how the readership of the blog has fallen considerably since they turned feminist.
Where was the monetary advantage for this conservative forum to go feminist?

ROFL! You, Fearless Leader, are the one guy who can call anyone on FR a newbie! Bravo zulu.
It really is.
Palin 2012.
no diss taken...its all good :)
Silly women I sometimes have to socialize with have the idea that the world would be better off if women were in charge. I tell them: "If women were in charge of the human race, we'd still be living in caves."
Here is the honest to God truth, and women forget it at their peril: Men are the SOLE protectors of women.
Look out there is a sporkweasel around here with your name on it.

This schmuck can't even proofread his own garbage.

Hah hah, that’s great. I signed up 2 months after you and I’m a newbie. Back then no one even said, “Welcome to FR”.
But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs. I’ve been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.
THE GOP DOESN’T WANT US- SO WHAT’S NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we don’t have to drill down on every FReeping thread. They’re wasting our time. Deliberately.
Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???

Yeah; but not a femnist here. Never have been. Don’t need to be. If something doesn’t sound right; I am first in line to say so.
Free Republic works as well as it does because Jim Robinson is not a control freak.
Control freaks are the only ones that could ruin Free Republic.
I came directly here from one of those divorce threads.
I didn’t realize that all women are evil and deserve to have their children ripped from their arms. And all men are perfect angels. And women initiate ALL divorces. And it’s ALWAYS the wife’s fault. And the “father” is ALWAYS the best parent. And of course it’s all because women got the vote.
please... what a jerk.
Why am I suddenly wondering where Laz is?
LOL. I’m suddenly wondering where I can get some of whatever Mr. Peterson is smoking! :)
I feel compelled to fix it because it has been invaded by RINOs. That is the problem with FR, and also it’s the problem with the Republican Party. We can do something about that, right here. It costs very little, only willingness. It removes no members, only exposes their proclivities. JimRob got a start on it when he posted the bugzapper thread, which generated a lot of surprising FReepercides. 20% of self-styled conservatives voted for Obama in the last election. Almost all of those were RINOs. You don’t see a problem that needs fixing?
I say keep 'em all. It'll make things interesting.
