Completely agree. Why not use our space and our visibility to promote CONSERVATIVE businesses/publications. Keep the scope small, start with just the conservative advocates you mentioned. Keep the Ben & Jerry's of the world OUT.
I believe that this is a good time to end FReepathons and FR will be able to generate more than enough revenue from advertising with conservative businesses/publications.
However, FReepers can still donate money to FR in order to finance a particular cause or a FReep should the situation arise.
