I agree with you about the direction FR has taken ovverthe years. Not only are the endless religious threads posted, but people ask for advice on gun purchases, computer repair, child rearing and lately somebody has started posting recipes, for Gods sake.
Even I have fallen for some of them, subscribing to certain ping lists that interest me quite beyond the political arena.
If there were any conservative web sites as big as FR, I would consider moving there. Meanwhile I just ignore the threads that I have no interest in or that have proven to be propaganda or spam.

Just wish more would see who their enemies and friends are.
Recipes are a big part of life now that our IRA’s have tanked! those sites are a nice break from the endless depressing news and also are helpful to people who are trying to be frugal or prepare for the worst.
Gun purchases...NOT political? Duh, these days as soon as Wallmart gets ammunition in, its all sold the next day. That ain’t about huntin’ rabbits.
More political efforts and gaining information is coming via the web...therefore, computer info.
