Exactly right. He also fails to cite any evidence of our “marginalization”, and destroys his own argument at the very end by conceding that we’re still the big kahuna of the conservative web.
This sounds like a plea to add more interactive, web 2.0 features disguised as a eulogy for FR.
Freepers are keeping the powder dry...for the moment.
Bush has betrayed and abandoned the base, and the feeling is mutual.
Fred Thompson is most likely to catch fire, and Freepers will be the kindling to light the torch of freedom.
I have wondered about the Wikipedia issue.I think the Wiki software, and even content, is more or less open source. If that's true, I'd wonder if John Robinson could grab a copy of Wikipedia, put it on a server, and allow us to edit it into a frankly conservative version of the "objective" (read, "liberal") original.
I can however envision that causing flame wars and opuses, since it would entail codifying precisely what conservatism is and is not. Conceivably it could be made to have several different flavors, so that factions could be represented in parallel universes sharing a common body of noncontroversial reference material . . .

Web 2.0 is fairness doctrine to censor the internet.
