Honestly people, if there are or aren’t ‘anti-Free Republic’ websites shouldn’t matter.
This site is in the business of traffic and ideas.
Put it in the analogy of a restaurant. If you own a McDonald’s franchise and Burger King pops up nearby, do you mock and jeer people who go to Burger King or do you try to make your franchise so appealing that people choose you more often? Do you make your burgers better and make your customers feel welcome, or do you lock your doors and flip off Burger King?
Cheers!
