Free Republic becoming a conspiracy site?

From Free Republic’s front page on Dec 15, 1996 via the WayBackMachine:

“On these pages we hope to bring you news of the nation not only from the mainstream media, but also from lesser known sources - small papers, newsletters, talk shows, government publications, online websites, and gasp, even from conspiracy theorists (sometimes there really are fires beneath all that smoke).”

We still have free speech - right?

I mean at least until late January unless America refuses to be duped by forged COLBs.

I am just pointing out the facts that I see which will ultimately help improve the quality of the conspiracy. I really have nothing against those folks, but I want them to acknowledge the reality of the evidence (i.e. the artifact in the photos) and weave a better conspiracy around it. I proposed several in my initial post and they are fairly reasonable (e.g. an authorized forgery in the govt. office in Hawaii).

Jim, don't take this too personally, but I love you man. You have occasionally chastized me (though, I really doubt you rememeber, because I know you have had to correct a good number of people), but you are the man. If I can squeeze it into my budget, you will start getting donations from me.
