Free Republic is a wonderful think tank where chewing the fat on conservative and constitutional freedom makes everyone who comes here more capable of dealing with those who wish to remake our country into something else. It also does a great job of keeping up on the news and tracking what is relevant. How much each one of us uses that knowledge to promote what Free Republic stands for is up to each individual. I would say that I began lurking on Free Republic when Drudge outed Monica and this site has been a bastion of stability and with stood the test of time. It does not happen overnight, but just like Limbaugh was a beach head in talk radio, Free Republic was a beach head on the internet that has successfully seen many things it stands for overcome vast sums of money and power in this election if Trump will deliver on his promises.
Oh, FR most certainly has been a keystone of my political education.
The general press is so sickeningly bowdlerized. I’d sooner take some righty opinionation in the context of a broader open debate (notice Jim Rob has not deleted any of my sentiments, nor have I asked for others’ to be treated in that manner) than the rotten pablum that most American news treatment has become.
But I can answer the righty opinionation as well as the lefty pablum. I believe a wise God has put Donald Trump in a wise center. If anything, I’ve followed in the coattails of this.
