Because you can map the vicissitudes of FR editorial policy by noting those who have been banned/quit over the years. And this lack of consistency isn't necessarily a bad thing; consider how difficult it is to break into the news & entertainment industry. Now increase that hurdle by orders of magnitude to establish a long-term media property.

On that standard alone, JR has set some kind of longevity record. But, he/it must still be adaptable (to a certain extent) to match conservative thought, sentiment and opinion. So, while on the topic of holding participant/reader interest, is anyone else tremendously bored (and amused) by the ongoing faith based expressions of devotion to mysterious 'sky friends'?

How about we take an opposite tack, and begin analyzing, in a post-deconstructionist manner, what, how, why things went wrong? Who ultimate led the conspiracy to kill the republic? Why did they do it? Was it just blind ambition, a quest for power, or perhaps larger scale, more noble purposes? And in so doing, maybe we can create a body of contemporary accounts that might lead to future generations gaining a better (strategic/tactical) understanding? To use a WWII analogy, the battle of France is over - we lost. But the battle of Britain could be over the horizon.

We should use our understanding to reach through the future to help inform those who might yet take up the banner again.

It's in one of my monthly text files, where I keep stuff that's going on that month, bills, article notes, things of interest, etc.

That month, NeverTrumpers were self-immolating in spastic rage over the ascendancy of soon-to-be President Trump, and it was interesting to me to see some VERY long-time freepers not realize what Trump actually is.
