Free Republic gets about 40,000 unique hits a day. Going to the state donor numbers, we get about 2300 donors. That is about a 5.5% rate of readers to donors.
My testimony is that Free Republic is the best website on the internet. Notice that I didn't say, "the best conservative, small government, pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Gun, etc." website. That is true, but Free Republic is more.
I just had a near real time discussion with a FRiend on freepmail.
I've had zero pop-ups, ads, thefts, etc. since 1998. It was all discussion all the time. Where else do you get that? I’ve used my credit card in our secure system also since 1998 and I’ve never had a problem. Target, Michaels, and Neiman Marcus should be so good.
This is the best discussion software ever created. Bar none. I can track every comment I've made, every response to it, and I can reply and reply again and again and again. All of that without the dreaded outline gradually indenting until all that remains is the right side of the screen page.
There are links back to previous comments, there are links that bring up all responses to a comment.
It amazes me how much like a conversation Free Republic is.
AND, we have a moderator staff dedicated both to free expression AND to maintaining the conservative identity of Free Republic and to banging heads when necessary. They get their marching orders from our main man, Big Jim Thompson, who, with his brother Matt Dillon, keeps the riffraff liberal troll deadbeats away from our town.
So, if you're part of the 94%, then Mitt Romney was talking about you. It got him in trouble.
It'll probably get me in trouble.
Brother, can you spare even a dime?
Btw, did you see that FR ranks number 14 on Alexa out of a field of 100 sites? Pretty darn good! :-)
Then check out southern Ohio, too. In terms of taxes, Tennessee has both Ohio and Kentucky beat. There is no state income tax, and it is made up by a sales tax. There are also property taxes, licenses, fees...but those are common to the 3 states as well.
I don't know if there are Amish communities in Tennessee. I like the hills better than the plains, so I'd go central to east Tennessee, but I've got to admit, Eastern Kentucky near Maysville is absolutely beautiful country.
those 40,000 unique hits must have real high page totals
As Rush Limbaugh said, some people Work for a Living and some people Vote for a Living.
I wish I had thought that up.
Whenever I hear a Politician say that People should Vote in their “self interest” I am reminded of the definition of Democracy, Two Wolves and One Sheep deciding what’s for Dinner.
I used to live in SoCal...Surfed Huntington Beach all the way South to Ensenada, Baja...that type of surfing was never "free"....There was gas, food, wax, etc..but it was all voluntary.
This type of surfing isn't free either. And I "get" that. I figure...if a person is reading FR once a day, once a week...they ought to be giving something.
$2 a month from all FReepers....would be awesome!!!
If you are in contact with Wagglebee say hi for me. I’ve worried going on nearly 2 years now that he passed on to his reward. Can you affirm that he’s still among the living? That would be great news.
re; My Post #119 above.
Responded to wrong Thread, never mind. LOL
My just previous post had not seen this one. Awesome news! Thanks, Samiam
ROFLOL!!!
Thanks!
Apparently, the pioneer art of bearbaiting has not been allowed to lose it’s edginess in Kentucky. :>)
Amen!!
Uh...you really need to take another look at East Tennessee. Check out this store in Chuckey; located between Johnson City and Greeneville...would love to have a small veggie farm in that beautiful area.
Almost forgot...when you visit Mountain View’s page, check out the photos...especially the GIANT donuts. I consider this store one of the four most peaceful places I have ever visited. Miss it terribly.
Agreed. FR is a good resource.
I would love to hear Cruz and Palin talk up FR a bit.
Also, I think it’s worth saying that FR is often ahead of others news sources. This is where I get my news; I remember being logged in when the police were hunting for that piece of Tsarnaev trash, right after the Boston Marathon bombing. FR beat Fox News to the announcement of the capture.
Yar, saw that, mate. Every time I start feeling low about things I always wind up reminded that others are not doing well either. Prayers for him and his family.
Brother, I thank you sincerely for your understanding. I just wish that more people who use FR would contribute as I find this to be a resource without compare. Prayers Up!
Bless you, dear lady. Some people cannot even be bothered enough to mail a check for what it costs for a cup of coffee these days it seems, yet continue using FR and allowing others to carry the load.
Ummm... I believe that's: "Two Wolves and One Sheep voting on what’s for Dinner.", if I recall correctly.
However, the sentiment is similar. :)
