Newsmax is out with our 2015 list of the 50 top conservative blogs.
The Internet now allows anyone who cares to invest the time and trouble to become a political commentator with, potentially, many times the readership of the most long-established syndicated columnists. The media elite, from the Big Three Networks to the local newspaper, have suffered a collapse in influence and a hemorrhage of revenues as Americans simply click on their favorite bookmarks for informed opinions about the events around them.

5. Free Republic - Working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah! Free Republic might just be the national bulletin board for the Tea Party, among serving other functions. Thousands of Freepers, with handles like Alamo Girl and cripplecreek, link to articles other sites usually miss, then post endless pithy commentaries. Typical is a recent post by GreyFriar on the FCC turning the Internet into a public utility: The Democrat version of democracy means three unelected bureaucrats voting for something that none of us is allowed to see.

Free Republic is Awesome!
Newsmax Rates F.R. and FReepers are more important than ever.
Free Republic is the bleeding edge of News sources and we shape the Conversation.
When Rush Limbaugh says "Show Prep" he really means "I am looking at the Latest Articles page on F.R."

Rather like being mentioned in dispatches...
A badge of honor.
Thank you, Alamo Girl, Cripplecreek, GreyFriar and all Freepers for getting us to number 5 in Newsmax’s top 50.
“Rather like being mentioned in dispatches... A badge of honor.”

Yeah!
You forgot to mention that FR has absolutely the best software for this kind of forum. If you don't think so try a few of the others.
And by shaping the conversation we help to shape opinion.
It seems to be a frequent occurrence that the news media runs with ideas after the comments of FReepers.
Needs to be said again!
