Eleven short years ago, I was listening to Hugh Hewitt and he was extolling the great values of a conservative website that I had never heard of.
Free Republic.
On several occasions, I recall him citing threads and replies, with nothing but praise for "freepers".
Out of curiosity, I checked the site, joined, and (I'm guessing 20K posts or so later) I still have Hugh Hewitt to thank for steering me to this fine site and to you fine folks (even if we may not yet all agree that Trump is Perot II).

Free Republic is THE place talk show hosts go to for their show prep. Lots of really smart people post here.
