One question though one might ask is, why do some people feel the need to move on from here? Find out why instead of blowing them off as morons and so forth.

I just went and looked around.

There is nothing anti Palin about it, they are discussing her merits. There is nothing anti Israel about it. There was a thread with a poll about 9-11 and most people seem to be NOT buying into the conspiracy angle.

As for being anti FR, that's a mixed bag as near as I can tell. What the site does seem to be though is moderates that want to call themselves conservatives when they really aren't. They aren't all moderates mind you, but, a lot of them come off that way and I think the few conservatives that are posting there, won't stay there for long and will return to the real conservative site.

That's just my take on what I saw and read over there.

That is basically what I have observed over there as well.

You're likely to find some DU posts there as well. (see post #11)

I agree with your points above Netizen. I've spent some time posting over there. Hopefully, they will get the FR bashing out of their systems soon, and focus on creating a good site.

By the way Jim, I have to turn myself in now. Bob J seemed convinced you would ban anyone who dares to post over there. I just had to shake my head. There's no talking to some people.

Maybe folks are getting tired of having their conservative values called into question because they happen to disagree with certain members of the FR posse from time to time.
