Best Conservative Sites and Headlines
Lenora Thompson, Patriotic Writer ^ | 10/15/2020 | Lenora Thompson, Patriotic Writer

Posted on 10/15/2020 3:50:33 PM PDT by Lenora Thompson

Hello Everyone,

It's been one month since I joined Free Republic. Just one month! I stumbled upon the site in the funniest way. Google Analytics kept showing hits from something called "Free Republic." What the heck is that!?!

I'm so grateful to the person who'd posted my "They Said Trump is a Malignant Narcissist" article or I never would've found so many wonderful patriots and kindred spirits.

You've read my stuff. Made me ROTFLMAO with your witty comments. Educated me and supported my writing. THANK YOU!

Today I had this wild idea that if others could put up aggregate sites with headlines and links, why couldn't I?

So I did! It's small. It's new. It's a fledgling just trying its wings...and here's where you come in.

If you have conservative news headlines, articles, videos, blogs, podcasts, political cartoons, poetry...I want to feature them and help you the way Free Republic has helped me. The link is above and there's an easy form to use for submissions.

Thank you so much. God bless you, God bless President Trump and God bless the United States of America. #MAGA2020LandslideVictory

I find your posts and articles to be informative and well-written. If humblegunner gives you a hard time, don’t worry about it. He’s a long time part of this operation and part of FR’s hazing and atmosphere.

Thank you, Dr. Sivana. All I’ve got going for me is how my brain works. Hoping to find a site to write for soon, I mean, besides my own.

He jumped on me from the moment I joined and gave me a rough time for about 3 weeks but bullies usually don’t have much staying power. I was wondering why he’s been allowed to be continue to be vile for so long. His account actually says “disabled.” Odd.

Thanks again!

You started following community standards so no further reason existed to correct you.
Perhaps I need to review that decision.

Several Freepers have a fake “disabled” message in their profile.

There are plenty of folks who have issues with the characters on this site, but to me that’s what makes FR what it is. In days of old we had Willie Green, conservative on everything except trains. He gave as good as he got, but was convinced that there was no better nor more important idea than high-speed rail between Atlanta and Chattanooga, or between Madison and Milwaukee. Eventually he just left. We still have characters like Lazmataz (sp?) who claims to desire relations with any female, anywhere. It is a schtick. Sometimes amusing, often gross, but there it is.

Besides the characters, we have non-political posts about the NFL, archaeological digs, cats (this is the Internet, after all), or the Freeper Canteen, which usually focuses on tabloid style personality quizzes and music lists. Posted primarily for the benefit of our armed forces personnel around the world to keep in touch with remembrances of home, but all are welcome to participate.

Wow! Something for everyone! I haven’t explored too much yet. My husband served, stateside, around the time Bush was getting using into the Gulf War. He has all the symptoms of GWI and they are weird, let me tell you. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Thank you for reminding us to refrain from self-promoting; you can keep that ‘nun’s ruler’ handy for rapping knuckles as needed.
Because you have Legacy. (No sarcasm ) Thank you.

Welcome. Your site is excellent. I appreciate your insights and enjoy your “Family Tree” and “Memories” with pictures of kid stuff. Slinky, Play-doh, and Schwinn bikes: been there, done that. I read Matt’s site, Drudge, for many years: 1995-2015. Then Matt lost his marbles and got boring. Thus, your idea of a site with headlines is very good.

Thank you, Falconspeed! Very kind. I was wondering who bothered to look at the “Memories” sites. :) It was you! You can tell by them that I just turned 40. :O ;D

I heard the Drudge was sold and that’s why it’s gone all liberal. So sad because that besmirches Matt Drudge’s name.

There are so many good aggregate sites out there. They helped me start out so I’m hoping to help other small writers get hits. Like Gen Z.

I’ve noticed your excitement over finding FR with interest. Many of us felt the same way upon finding this gem. I have literally grown old here. Haven’t contributed all that much, but I still say that FR was the first FB and that Jim Robinson invented the program. Thank Jim and God for not accepting advertising. The state of America was weighing heavy on my heart when I first stumbled on FR. I couldn’t believe there could be that many people who thought like myself. That was in 1998. Have gained lifelong friends here. We met, we organized, we sent gifts and many of them came to visit me all the way from CA to WV. My life has been enriched by all of them and this old retired pastor thanks God for them. Welcome and good wishes for your dreams.

He is actually a nice guy. It is just he has been sad since his midget ran away to become a Wrestler in Mexico.

So sad because that besmirches Matt Drudge’s name.

Matt Drudge did a lot of good. I had thought he was the rare bird who could not be extorted because he just didn't care. For instance, someone had spilled some dirt about Matt Drudge being an ovaphiliac, and he himself released the headline "Matt Drudge Has Sex with Eggs"

Even by the 2012 campaign, he had aligned himself with Mitt Romney ... the ONLY Republican in the entire world who could not credibly attack Obamacare. Why? Well in more recent years it is understood that Drudge has settled in with a fellow. So while Drudge might not be sensitive, maybe the fellow is. Also, as he aged and became VERY financally independent, these issues may have dwarfed others.

A REAL conservative would not have sold out to the kind of people who run it now.

A more extreme version of this is that David Brock fellow, who came out with "The Real Anita Hill" before turning as much as the most kayfabe professional wrestler.

So, remember Matt Drudge for his good, but some of the attacks on him may not be without merit.
