Major Newspapers Will Fail After Christmas - So Much for Pandering to Women... [FR dissed]
Mens News Daily ^ | Dec 8, 2008 | Jim Peterson

Posted on 12/08/2008 12:29:06 PM PST by Jim Robinson

The Miami Herald and Chicago Tribune have practically announced bankruptcy and are both now valued at less than the value of the real estate they own (prime bay-front property in Miami and a skyscraper in Chicago).

Even better, McClatchy Newspapers itself, a newspaper chain with a documented anti-male bias, is saddled with so much debt that it will probably not last through 2009...

~~snip~~

A vestige of Andrew Marton’s article can be found at FreeRepublic.com where you can see that this once-conservative forum is now dominated by man-hating old women and FReepers discussing the story were no allowed to mention the word feminism in regard to the FReeper nmh’s hate-filled diatribes against men who would date foreign women (I know first-hand that any such comments mentioning feminism were deleted).

Exhibit C: The forum FreeRepublic.com was once a place for conservative men to bash feminism freely and often. It was the favorite topic for years. But, since early 2006, most anti-feminist FReepers have had their accounts deleted so as not to antagonize the aging baby boomer females the crippled owner, Jim Robinson, wants to keep in the Republican Party. Jim Robinson’s attitude seems to be just like that of Rupert Murdoch of Fox News…he seems to think that “strong feminist women” should be the backbone of the Republican Party. This is insane. I do NOT think these men are motivated by the concept that 80% of corporate purchase decisions are made by women.

It is easy to logon as a member of the once-mighty conservative FreeRepublic.com. Try doing so and mentioning feminism in a comment somewhere. See how quickly you can be deleted.

Then watch how the readership of the blog has fallen considerably since they turned feminist.

Where was the monetary advantage for this conservative forum to go feminist?

Thanks for the compliment! You and I are kindred spirits in many ways.

Silly women I sometimes have to socialize with have the idea that the world would be better off if women were in charge. I tell them: "If women were in charge of the human race, we'd still be living in caves."

Here is the honest to God truth, and women forget it at their peril: Men are the SOLE protectors of women.

Need a little way in here, Gal.

mick, after reading the first 50 or so posts, my first reaction can be summed up as follows:

I'll keep reading to see if I can offer further insight, but so far Sarah says it best.

Hah hah, that’s great. I signed up 2 months after you and I’m a newbie. Back then no one even said, “Welcome to FR”.

But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs. I’ve been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.

THE GOP DOESN’T WANT US- SO WHAT’S NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we don’t have to drill down on every FReeping thread. They’re wasting our time. Deliberately.

Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???

I like the old maxim that God made men and women, and Col. Colt made them equal!

" Most of us here in those situations don’t date foreign women, we married them. Big difference. "
Maybe those women who hate it when American men find and marry foreign women should look in the mirror and see were the real problem is.... the problem is not with the men, it's with American women's feminism and attitudes that the men should be their slaves.
I saw a show a few years ago and the subject was : What do women want.... and the conclusion was, the modern feminist women want's it be like the 50s were the man supports the women, but, they want it like today also, they want the men to support them, but they want their Independence too.
In other words.. they want the man's money, but, the man has no say in the matter what so ever..... she can do what ever she wants.

Free Republic is not broken. Why do you feel compelled to fix it?

Free Republic works as well as it does because Jim Robinson is not a control freak.

Control freaks are the only ones that could ruin Free Republic.

I came directly here from one of those divorce threads.

I didn’t realize that all women are evil and deserve to have their children ripped from their arms. And all men are perfect angels. And women initiate ALL divorces. And it’s ALWAYS the wife’s fault. And the “father” is ALWAYS the best parent. And of course it’s all because women got the vote.

I feel compelled to fix it because it has been invaded by RINOs. That is the problem with FR, and also it’s the problem with the Republican Party. We can do something about that, right here. It costs very little, only willingness. It removes no members, only exposes their proclivities. JimRob got a start on it when he posted the bugzapper thread, which generated a lot of surprising FReepercides. 20% of self-styled conservatives voted for Obama in the last election. Almost all of those were RINOs. You don’t see a problem that needs fixing?

While being around people who voted for That One is annoying, why should we want to purge them? Let 'em stay just for comic relief. It's going to be fun screaming "we told you so" to them for the next four years. They can be our resident punching bags. Every time The Great and Powerful O does something stupid, we can ping all his little FR groupies and laugh at them.

I say keep 'em all. It'll make things interesting.
