I recall when FR was in the top 20.
Perhaps the religious battles and bullying around here are driving people away.
Its a shame because this used to be, and could be, a good site to gather a full range of information.
Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy’s donation to the Clinton Crime Family seems to have paid off.
FReeRepublic is still and will always be #1. Like every where else one needs to exercise discernment.

You are an idiot if you think that bullying is a problem on FR! :)
“Perhaps the religious battles and bullying around here are driving people away.”
I’ve had my share of religious battles without ever, except in the case of Islam, saying anything negative towards the
religion itself. The absolute worst and most vile, disrespectful and outright rude attacks came from Jews. The
Catholics do try to prove me wrong and sometimes, I have to
admit they do. The Jews? Well here’s an example:
By Yehuda
“Stop frothing at the mouth, it’s unpleasant to watch, especially as you have little knowledge of 19th and 20th Jewish immigration here, or their influence on the American Left.”
“Right about being uninformed and a liar.”
“As for you, ahole, we don’t have to prove negatives, you’re the stupid sc@mbag who claimed and blamed it ALL ON JEWS, so you produce the sources.”

I agree. Just when there seems to be a stimulating conversation going on here the mouth breathers, without one creative thought among them jump in and say stuff like, "Republicans good, Democrats bad."
Still Is!
Maybe back then some of these sites were not listed as conservative. I would not list, for example, Fox News, Wall Street Journal, as New York Post as conservative. Didn’t the Wall Street Journal actually come out in favor of Amnesty, a destructive policy that no conservative would support.
Perhaps it’s due to so many threads on gay / lesbian / transgendered / homosexuality. Most would not consider threads discussing this disgusting behavior as “conservative.”
The religious threads have taught me a lot. I grew up in a small town and there were only 3 Catholic families and the kids were older than I. I never knew what their beliefs were until I began reading about them on this site. I just did not realize how false some of those beliefs are and never knew how much some hate Protestants. If others do not like them, do not read them. I skip over many threads which I am not interested in. Life is a life long learning experience and I love reading and history.
