The beauty of Free Republic is that people with conservative views can express similar interests (i.e.,baseball, mid-west mountain lions, football, music, SEINFELD), besides constantly discussing conservative politics. We are all have different interests and opinions we share with each other and that should be respected.
I'll speak for myself in saying that I do need a break from reading in News/Activism all the time and I'm certain I'm not the only one, otherwise there would be no G/C or Smoky Backroom, etc.
I'll choose to let my fellow FReepers decide for themselves how I contribute to FR.
Sure. Whatever.
