OK, FReepers! It's time we took the fight to them!
Today | RandallFlagg

Posted on 07/23/2003 11:30:23 AM PDT by RandallFlagg

This is not bashing Free Republic.com, nor it is bashing members here. On the contrary, this place is one of the best sites for news, information and opinions on the web.

But, to be honest, sticking around here and chatting amongst ourselves is just preaching to the choir. We need to go on the offensive.

I've been going to the Metallica.com message boards and raising hell in what I call, "Hostile Territory". I haven't turned many to our side, but I have educated many. It's really a challenge. Others have probably been doing this for a while now.

I think we need to do more of this. We should find any site with a forum that has any threads that say things like, "Bush Sucks," or, "America imperialist killers," or the like. I'm starting this thread to try and make a place that we FReepers can use to gather and consolidate our sources and facts. Also we can use it as a place to bring up arguments that are just so silly and childish, that they should be read and laughed at by others.

I, for one, am sick of being on the defensive all the time. So, I crush all the lies with facts gathered on the web and all the conservative books I own. If more of us did the same, we'd be an even stronger force to be reckoned with..

Remember the rules of the other forums, debate with dignity and logic. Expect to be banned from these sites sometimes.

Our President said, "Bring it on." This is what I'm doing.

Good luck!

Where were all these people during the "Rally for America" and more recently the Hillary freeps? Are we invisible?

I poked my head in the door at that other site you mentioned...SHEESH. I need a shower now, the place is a sewer. Some of the screennames sure are a blast from the past.

Well I checked out mrcranky.com, and I'm not sure that the people there are worth saving.

Good point . Preaching to the choir just becomes a suckfest . Taking the facts and being empowered to the enemy is logical and proactive .

In addition { Using myself as an example } while I am out and about on various sites mining for data I network with others who simply want facts & knowledge .

I've no time for hostile people . Time is in short supply .

Spiff, I agree with you completely.
Your words brought to mind a quote I have had on my profile page for a long time now:

"The slaves of power mind the cause they have to serve, because their own interest is concerned; but the friends of liberty always sacrifice their cause, which is only the cause of humanity, to their own spleen, vanity, and self-opinion."

- William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)

It's not a waste of time when we get together
to FREEP the Enemy!

Free Republic informs us so that we can jump
in and be active when we need to be!

I believe in going where our conversations are
watched by Conservative Newsmakers: journalists,
radio hosts, authors...

http://www.newsmax.com used to run a great forum, but it's no longer active.

If you know of any other place, besides Free Republic that is a Web-stop for our Conservative base, let me know!

I'll be right over! :)

Off topic, but I slammed our local library in a letter-to-editor for having 5 copies of Lying History, but zero copies of Ann Coulter's "Treason". May get published today...
