So are you
what do you suggest?
Ideological purges and technological innovation have taken their toll.
The internet has grown since then. Other conservative websites have sprung up. But don’t think for a minute that FR isn’t being “looked at” by friend and foe.
People have been saying this from the beginning. Wasn’t true then, either.
FR is under assult by the lame stream media via copyright infringement laws... and they are winning.
take a good look at the “do not post from” list, and you will understand why activity here has dropped dramatically over the last 2-3 years.
No surprise. It was far more active last year as well, then we took the House. FoxNews ratings are way down as well, as are CNN’s and MSNBC’s. Just wait until next February. It will heat up again. FR was also SO subversive and ahead of its time back in 1998 when I first joined. Now we have SO many imitators, and the internet chat and blog scene has exploded, diluting the time and posts of our members. But make no mistake, we are STILL a force to be rockoned with. And JimRob is a leader above any other. God Bless FreeRepublic!
Yes, the Clintons were that bad. They made the Osamas and the Obamas possible.
Owner tends to ban huge swarms of long time freepers every now and then (i.e. who are indifferent to gays, romney/rudy supporters, etc).
And...hardly any site updates/features since 1998 tends to thin the herd.
As a matter of fact, the site looks eerily similar to the one that existed in 1998.
Did those ads get rid of the Clintons?
They became ashamed of the Neverending story. lol.
Due to global warming internet isn’t as big as it used to be.
I think it still is when the need arises.
There are many groups persuing the wide spectrum of abuse by Obozo and his band of Commies.
We have a few detractors. I heard Hannity on his radio show on Friday bemoan the changes here. He said in the early days that he came here frequently and not so much now because of the bitter victolic nature of some here. He did say he was aware of the “Troll” content which I think is coloring some of the discussion.
This is the place to come if you want the latest about a subject. I know from experience if you post something here that you did not do your homework on, someone will call you on it. That is a good thing.
Ocassionally I see a negative treatment of a subject that I have interest in and cannot understand why it starts. Like the so called Birther issues. There is a lot more to that than someone who says Obozo was born in Kenya. (which I doubt)
It amazes me how often I read a breaking news item here and a day or 2 later it is on FOX. I have NO DOUBT they have people surfing here all the time.
They watch Drudge and Matt is great, but his topics are much more narrow in range and are generally only what you would call “breaking news”.
This is still the best forum on the web. Thank you Jim Robinson.
You may be right and thanks for the heads up. However, FR is the de facto and known “conservative” forum on the web.
But I get my news here on FR and Drudge. Physically and politically active? LOL. I kinda remember seeing an FR PAC being developed but because...Freepers are so cheap they couldn;t even pay up on the Freepathons, I think the idea went the way of the dodo.
The clintons are/were worse.
We get busy when we have to correct a newbie or attend a troll zotting.
Jim Robinson (and family and friends) have smoothed this site out nicely. Don't need fancy, ya got reliable.
Thanks Jim and crew!
What’s with all the deleted comments?
FR ROCKS!
Wait until Sarah Palin annouces!
Maybe because some of us decided to actually get really involved and help CHANGE things rather than just talking about it....go check out ISPYONSALEM.com (it’s a radio show that you can download)......and it’s Freeper backed.
