Free Republic

An original Right wing site has been struggling over the years to attract bloggers, WWW.THENEXTRIGHT.COM, and I need some help to fight off a resurgence of Liberal infestation ..... trying to turn the site into "The Next Left". Easy to log in for posting comments, and it needs some RIGHT wing bloggers to counter the "Infestation". Go visit.....have some fun chasing away the Rats.

Suspended teacher defends blog calling students lazy whiners 4:19pm EST PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A high school English teacher suspended from her job after she blogged that her students were "rude, disengaged, lazy whiners," said on Wednesday that she did nothing wrong. "Some of the students, parents and administrators don't want to hear the truth," said Natalie Munroe, 30, a teacher at Central Bucks East High School north of Philadelphia. In a blog she said was intended to be seen only by a handful of her friends, but was shared on Facebook by a student who discovered it, Munroe was highly...

As more and more people turn their focus online to get their news and information, the credibility of news and opinion blogs has increased. Enough time has gone by for the web-inclined to learn which ones are reliable and which ones are rubbish. Some blogs have cultivated a reputation of being a source of solid information; some have become popular due to its uniqueness or for the writer(s) themselves. These are a few of the latter:

A thread on Barbara Billingsley has been pulled because they called it a blog. It was taken from Associated Content that was bought by Yahoo. How is that considered a blog? I read what I read. People seemed to be enjoying the article. What gives? Free Republic started as a blog, correct? How can Yahoo news be a blog? I don't try to break rules here. I've been around for quite a while. I'm curious..that's all. Thanks.

The value of many of the most significant blogs have increased in the past year as the economy continued to improve and advertisers were willing to pay more to reach audiences online. Readership at most of the 25 blogs on the list has increased. Some of them have been around for five years or longer and their competition has either fallen by the wayside or been unable to gain significant market share. All of the blogs on the 24/7 Wall St. list are private companies, as has been true in all four of the earlier lists. None are owned by...

We always knew Darren Murph had oodles of talent and was extremely prolific -- but now the man has got the paper to seriously prove it. Our own Mr. Murph was just awarded the Guinness World Record for most posts ever by a blogger. Not only is this a first for Darren, it's a first for Guinness as well, creating a new category for the group. Darren joined Engadget in July of 2006 (his first post is here), and almost four years to the day (when these numbers were submitted to Guinness) he'd arrived at 17,212 individual posts (since surpassed,...

Ive gotten 95% of my information from the internet over the past 5-6 years. There exists a special mix of intelligence, altruism and collegial respect that can unite to make internet forums worth much more than the price of admission. As such I've become habituated to a variety of sources, bloggers, websites, and internet personalities. Of late it seems these forums have become more shrill and predictable in their aggregate coverage of real life. Recently the signal to noise ratio is so low that I find myself using the internet for learning less and less, and when I do, with...

I want everyone to know that I love the comments posters on political blogs. OK, truth be known I love the ones that agree with me. The others, not so much. But I really can see the logic to those that say comments are the worst part of the Internet Tubes. 99% of the time the comments section add nothing but vitriol and pointless blather…. not to mention a dearth of grammar and spelling. While there's the occasional really detailed and good comment that does add to the thread, the good ones are far and few between. Heck, there’ve been...

The One has made His intentions known to control the internet, along with Amerika itself. His administration has been been attempting (ofttimes succeeding) to censor and silence writers including this one, working to block me from getting news releases out to various media sites. Persecution and censorship of writers has begun. However, this one takes the ultimate censorship cake. . According to the Communist News site, People’s World, a new internet software blocker titled, GodBlock is now up and running. Its purpose, according to its designers, “Is to test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking...

July 18, 2010 8:59 PM PDT Mystery shrouds closures of blog, forum platforms by Greg Sandoval Font sizePrintE-mailShare27 comments Yahoo! Buzz .Share 770diggsdiggTwo services that enable users to blog or create online forums have disappeared from the Internet under mysterious circumstances. Blogetery.com, a blogging platform, went dark on July 9, less than a week before Ipbfree.com, a service that helped users create Web message boards, went offline. No one has said these situations are linked, but they nonetheless possess intriguing similarities. • Each of the services host loads of user-generated content. • Operators at both Blogetery and Ipbfree said they...

After the U.S. Government took action against several sites connected to movie streaming recently, nerves are jangling over the possibility that this is just the beginning of a wider crackdown. Now it appears that a free blogging platform has been taken down by its hosting provider on orders from the U.S. authorities on grounds of “a history of abuse”. More than 73,000 blogs are out of action as a result. Hot on the heels of recent threats from Vice President Joe Biden and Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel directed at sites offering unauthorized movies and music, last month U.S....

The New Media's 21-st Century Minutemen aren't going to just lay back and learn to enjoy it, like Team Obama might suggest. Rather, we're taking the fight to the enemy right up until November, when we sweep these statist fiends from office, thereby neutralizing the insane -yet ongoing- Obama spending orgy... OUR side's winning now, Dear Leader. Links to the best of this week's conservatives (along with a little cartoon humor) today at Reaganite Republican-

SNIPPET: "The federal prosecutor's office said in a statement that the accused, identified only as Hussam S., had been detained Sunday in the western German town of Montabaur."The accused is strongly suspected of working to recruit members or supporters for Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb and the Islamic Jihad Union," the statement said." SNIPPET: "Hussam M. is believed to have used Internet forums and blogs belonging to the German section of the "Global Islamic Media Front" and the "Al-Ansar Media Battalion" since 2007 to attract militants to the various Al-Qaeda groups. And since February 2009, he allegedly...

-A weekly summary of news, views, and humor from the New Media's resurgent Right-

Abstract In this essay, I argue that neither non-economist bloggers, nor economists who portray economics —especially macroeconomic policy— as a simple enterprise with clear conclusions, are likely to contibute any insight to discussion of economics and, as a result, should be ignored by an open-minded lay public. The following is a letter to open-minded consumers of the economics blogosphere. In the wake of the recent financial crisis, bloggers seem unable to resist commentating routinely about economic events. It may always have been thus, but in recent times, the manifold dimensions of the financial crisis and associated recession have given fillip...

Why would a conservative activists site ban a conservative activist? This question remains largely unanswered. Conservative Examiner has been summarily banned by Free Republic. For over a year I have been posting Conservative Examiner articles at the Free Republic conservative networking forum. From the very start I found the site to be admirable due to their clear goals of conservative activism--to advocate for the conservative cause and to work toward reclaiming our government, through the electoral process, from those who appear to have little regard for the Constitution.

After profiling the different types of blog commenters recently, I had some requests for advice on how to be the good kinds of commenters, rather than the bad.  Here are some dos and don’ts that might help: 1) Be charitable. If you are not making a comment out of love, you have no reason to make it. 2) Do not comment when you’re angry. You’ll probably regret it and won’t be able to undo it.  Anything good to say will still be good in a few hours when the anger has worn off a bit. 3) If you quote part...
