FR used to be the smartest web site. What happened?
Trolls!
Hey! I’m trying to do my part here!
Too many Freepers who use basic math and common sense to mock COVID-19 hysteria?
Claim: COVID-19 is ravaging the world.
Math: 145,000 global deaths = 0.002% of global population.
Claim: COVID-19 is ravaging the USA.
Math: At least 40 states - including CA, TX, and FL, the three largest - have more COVID-19 deaths than influenza deaths.
Claim: Anyone infected with COVID-19 who dies should be classified as a COVID-19 death, regardless of any other diseases that might be present.
Math: Apply that same standard to influenza, and the USA will have at least 250,000 influenza deaths every year.
The mud wrestlers came in and weren’t shown the door. At the time I even suggested we consider going to a pay site. Those of us that tried to self police (remember Eagles Up! which led me to change my name) eventually got enforced instead. Quantity over quality, was apparently the decision.
Not sure what raised the question on this particular thread. I have been a huge fan of Savage in the past, but have turned his show off the last few weeks. With his educational background, he should be soaring In listeners right now, and I actually sought his show out when this whole crisis was breaking.
But his long term dislike, or what now appears to be envy, of Hannity and Limbaugh seems to have consumed him at this point. He’s grown arrogant and doesn’t like the way Trump sparks to the little man, often in little man language. He still hates modern liberals, but has developed a new found hate for what he considers simple minded conservatives, who are demonstrating sheep like behavior for the new cult of personality. There may be some truth in what he sees, but these people are not the enemy, not now. They are our grunt forces in the current war.
people made their own blogs or websites that they controlled.

But it started with this site. :)
I wonder also?
Another point:
Salvage’s books are excellent and are required reading for my kids. There is very little than I can criticize about these books. I suggest that all Freepers read these books!
Also I ask if anyone has a problem with protecting our boarders, Language, and culture? If we had protected our boarders we would not be in the current crises.
I agree, FR is a shadow of it’s former, sharpest knife in the drawer leading conservative self.
I come here and participate a very small fraction of what I use to.
