I am not a libertarian and not an anti-Semite so what's in it for me over there? NOT MUCH except the same curiosity factor of seeing a car wreck.
Oh, I dunno - I'm neither of those things either. I just like freedom and enjoy being in the company of others who feel the same way.
Ain't saying LF's perfect. But I like it :)
Non members can read articles in most all areas of the forum over there. I find the forum not as easy as the old Free Republic software programming, but I get by...I don't see it as any worse than what we have at FR now.
Any comments about FR over there is no different than how a great many people here acted when lucianne went her way. And its been stated by management/owner over there that he doesn't want to see bashing threads because that is not what the vision of the forum is.
I see a place for a whole lot of forums and certainly don't want to be locked into just one. I've seen things happen here at FR that a couple of years back I'd have fought physically with anyone that would say such a thing about Jim Rob....I can't say that anymore and personally don't have much confidence in the direction FR has taken. Still, there are some fine, fine people here and we have lost a lot of good ones, too. I've been around long enough to see it happen.
Neither am I a Libertarian or anti-Semite. That said, the fact that someone says they hate Jews or Arabs or Americans doesn't bother me a whole lot--after all, I do believe in the first amendment. Soon as I determine who the, IMO, morons are, I ignore them. Sort of like reading--I don't like Science Fiction, so why would I read a book by a Sci-Fi writer. Ditto murder mysteries. I won't call for burning of the books these writers produce.
