RE:"The regime likes to keep tabs on us insurgents...."

You got that right.

Here's how President Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and author of "Repulblic.com," Cass Sunstein, describes FreeRepublic.com as "group polarization," where people segregate themselves so effectively online with other like-minded thinkers that they create an echo chamber where the group's worst and most malevolent opinions get reinforced and strengthened. "We might want to consider," Sunstein startlingly told the Times recently, "the possibility of ways of requiring or encouraging sites to link to opposing viewpoints."

Sunstein a long-time friend of Obama's recently left the Administration to become an employee of Harvard.

If you open the source code for any page on FR at the foot of the page it says Google Urchin tracker.
That may be why.(?)
