http://FreeRepublic.com:>http://http://FreeRepublic.com: Traffic Rank for http://freerepublic.com: 2,612 FreeRepublic *****Old Freeper says Baloney!, I have made over 4,000 posts on Free Republic. I am not a Republican. I am not a Bush Bot. I have argued against Republican statism, Bush diplomacy, the Supreme Court nominations, the Commerce Clause decision, The Patriot Act, the WOT, the WOD, and the culture wars of the Christian right. I have never been accused of being a troll or zotted. Free Republic is not a Republican forum. It is a Conservative forum and there are just as many Libertarian Conservatives as Republicans on Free Republic. There are even a few bleeding heart Liberals who have been posting there for years. No other political forum has the diversity that Free Republic has. Those who complain of being zotted or branded trolls are almost always guilty of racism or personal attacks on others. Anti-semitic white power types get zotted immediately, those with legitimate complaints about the government of Israel do not. If Free Republic only allowed those who toed the NEOCON line they would have zotted mugs99 years ago! *****A great source of news and support, I first found Free Republic about 7 years ago. About the same time, I found DU. I was absolutely disgusted with the hatred on DU but found a lot of interesting people on Free Republic. During the time of the last shuttle disaster, FR posters were on top of the news even breaking stories. It is not only political but very interesting stories about life in general. When we lost a child, they were there with their support, love and prayers. People from all around the world were saying prayers for us. The same support was there when I lost a sibling and a spouse. When CBS tried to pass off a fake story as truth, a poster on Free Republic was the one who found the untruth of the story. It is time to hold the news media accountable for their stories. When they tell an outright lie, then that needs to be told to the people of this country. If you want another source for news, then Free Republic is the place to be. *Jonestown "Republic", A previous rater wrote "ANYONE with ANY viewpoint can participate". While technically correct, the rater conveniently leaves out the fact that if you disagree with Israel, George W. Bush and the Republican party in that order, the odds are heavily in favor of you being banned after one post. So much for debate on this cyber police state. Instead, you can expect ad hominen attacks and stupid silliness masquerading as serious argument. Nonetheless, I can recommend it in a limited way. For researchers who wish to understand group think, collectivism and "the cult of personality" (built around Jim Robinson, the owner and Bush) this site and "Democratic underground" are two of the best. If a few names are changed fair minded person can see there is no difference in the conduct and thinking of these two bulletin boards. *"Free" Republic is a disgrace to conservatism. FR losing influence and relevance, I joined FR in early 1998. At that time the membership was comprised of more committed and intelligent conservatives who were very active both online and in real life. After a while we had active chapters in nearly every state. I had gotten to know and became friendly with many FReepers. It has gone downhill terribly over the last few years. For example, recently Jim Robinson raised several thousand dollars from the members for some protest having to do with GWB's judicial nominees, only around 2 dozen or so people show up and they were basically ignored by the press. Rather sad considering that not too long ago a local FR chapter could get 5 times that many people with little notice and get vastly more press coverage - no fundraising required. FR has become a neocon propaganda site where you better be 100% pro-Bush, pro GOP platform (if anyone can figure that out anymore) and pro-Israel. Many very loyal long-time members have been scared off or banned for not adopting the proper group think. Although I was once a monthly donor, knowning what I know now, I would NOT donate a single penny to FR. It's an LLC entity with no transparency whatsoever, and nobody knows where the money comes from or where it goes. They collect over a quarter million a year yet never once to my knowledge has Mr. Robinson shown anyone any type of money trail. It's his big secret. Ever wonder why FR slowing keeps becoming less influential Jim? I wish there was a 0 star!, First, let me say that I am a moderate conservative. I joined FR in the late 1990s. I rarely posted but did enjoy the news articles and pictures and videos. I felt that some of the Freepers were doing great work in challenging liberal ideology. However, as an educator, the censorship disturbed me, and I don't just mean censorship of liberals who dared to post there. I mean the censorship of ANYONE who did not tow the complete line with the views expressed there. After nearly 5 years, I made what I believe was my second ever post, informing the forum that I had come across a website posting that Freepers were paid to spam other sites. I gave a link and posted the copied post. I felt some of the Freepers might find it interesting and want to comment on this ridiculous statement. To my surprise, the next time I logged in and tried to post, I got a message that my posting privileges had been revoked...reason...zot. I had no warning, no e-mail, nothing. And worse, I didn't know what zot meant! Since then, I have learned it was something about spamming. Well color me silly. This kind of censorship, by those who wave the freedom of speech flag, is disturbing. I post on several other conservative forums and there are rules, as well there should be. But there is also tolerance and at least a warning system. I don't recommend Free Republic to any conservative who cares to engage in logical debate or who has not at one time thought outside the box. It just is not tolerated there. After many e-mails to the site administrator, all unanswered, I gave up. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=&url=www.FreeRepublic.co LibertyPost LibertyPost.com>http://LibertyPost.com Traffic Rank for http://libertypost.org: 21,509 *****Liberty Post Is Where Our Liberty Resides, Free Republic was a great start but it couldn't reform itself and leaned towards censorship and banishment. Unable to be independent and objective, it became a shill for the discredited globalist Republican party. You can't even call it purely conservative because as a shill for the Republican party, Free Republic and owner Jim Robinson are able to excuse, absolve and exempt the GOP and it's leaders of any charge or criticism. There is nothing lonelier or as pathetic as a loyal Republican who's been banned from Free Republic for insisting that the United States secure it's borders and win it's wars! Along comes Liberty Post. No censorship. No water to carry for either discredited Democrat or Republican political parties. Liberty Post has suffered growing pains along the way and is still a little slow but it's come a long way baby. All the liberty and 1st amendment loving peoples posting articles, information and discussion love Owner/Operator Goldi Lox. She has worked hard to manage her endeavor and the results show. Liberty Post is easy to use and I like the way it's displayed. It has cool features like pinging and offenders can easily be added to a "bozo list". I wish it had a chat room but I guess that's next. Having Liberty Post and Free Republic is like having your own daily CIA briefing. Sure, some of it is garbage and disinformation but hey, that's half the fun--you have to be the judge! I found out that NORAD and USAF Space Command had gone to a heightened alert status from a local news source in Colorado Springs a day before the July 4th North Korean Missile launches. Pretty neat huh? All this information available being posted from all over the world let's you be the Intel analyst! This as "the world burns"! Not censored, Liberty Post is one of the few political sites on the net that does not censor posters. It is not liberal, conservative, or non-biased. It IS ALL OF THEM at once. It is free speech on the net and it is wonderful. Don't let the other reviews turn you off. Some people hold grudges and those grudges can be seen in their reviews. You can post just about whatever viewpoint you want on Liberty Post. Yes, Nazis sometimes post (and get beatup by the other posters), kooks (9/11 conspiracy theorists) post, liberals post, conservatives post, Christians post, athiests post, etc. You get the idea. *Palo Verde is the Woman for Me, All I think about is palo. When I fall asleep at night it's with dreams of her beside me. When I wake in the morning her name is the first thing on my mind. I can't get up the courage to ask her out, though. God, I love that woman. *****Ignore Badeye And You Will Enjoy It, It's one of the very few mature discussion forum on the Internet where just about anything is tolerated. You will find one or 2 primadonnas trying to grab everyone's attention but it's easy to 'bozo' them - meaning you will never see what they write again - and you will be able to participate in interesting discussions. Fun political discussion, I joined LP a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. The discussion is fun and reasoned, the posters varied and largely thoughtful and intelligent, and their is no fear of censorship. Also, the site has a bozo filter so you can ignore posters who are bothering you or "trolling". I read all the reviews, and I think those who gave the site a bad review and said it's about kooky tin-foil hatters must have visited a different site than I have been reading! Visit this site, sign up, and join the fun discussion! http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=&url=www.libertypost.org Freedom4um.com Freedom4um.com:>http://Freedom4um.com: placed: Reviews: none STILL NONE FREEDOM4UM UP 21% OVER 3 MONTHS! yay!

Actually, my teeth only snapped last night when I read "The Only Soldier" by Kainend -- I hate that, nobody knows how to spell that guy's name. I know -- RA told me I could post here and the guy would know so blah blah blah Kainend sucks.................cock hah! that dude's not here he sucks
"War on Terror": The dumbest phrase in the history of propaganda, fed to the dumbest population to ever walk the earth. We get the government, and the wars, that we deserve. -- Francis
This is pure crap, and anyone that posted over 4000 times at FR is likely delusional, argumentative, and boring . This forum has graciously opened its arms to welcome discontented, disenfranchised and just generally dissed Freepers, and actually offers "free speech" without much restraint. So don't waltz your ass in here and start talking about the greatness of that Bolshevik bullshit forum. Enough of the freeper crap. May Free Republic die a slow and pain filled death.
"nemo me impune lacessit" no one provokes me with impunity
God, I love that woman. I hope the reviewer realizes palo verde is married. He's correct about how to handle Badeye though.
Just as I've been saying. The news forums are all jealous of my brilliant and excellent economic prognostications. (grin)
I'm still detached from reality.
Nintendunce needs a shrink.
"nemo me impune lacessit" no one provokes me with impunity
Whomever wrote this about ElPee is delusional.
"Never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so ineffectively, and if after all of this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all of this support, there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and policies of the past." Richard M. Nixon
"Having Liberty Post and Free Republic is like having your own daily CIA briefing. " First they trash FR and then they praise it. Botville.
"We can make a natural alliance through the ownership of the great industries of the world and through the sharing of their profits." -Lord Charles Beresford, in a 1903 speech to the (Anglo-American-Jewish) Pilgrims Society.
So, where is his piece from? I notice it's source is not shown. Actually I have heard much the same sort of thing from another source:
How often do you frequent Stormfront? Personally, I wouldn't trust a political site based out of West Palm Beach.
"We can make a natural alliance through the ownership of the great industries of the world and through the sharing of their profits." -Lord Charles Beresford, in a 1903 speech to the (Anglo-American-Jewish) Pilgrims Society.
How often do you frequent it? Personally I wouldn't trust it either, nor Don Black, or the poster named Lundberg working out of Donnie's office as per the note on his posts.
Never. There's more ADL monitors at Stormfront than any other site on the net.
"We can make a natural alliance through the ownership of the great industries of the world and through the sharing of their profits." -Lord Charles Beresford, in a 1903 speech to the (Anglo-American-Jewish) Pilgrims Society.
I reckon since you are such a self declared authority on this you feel we must take your word for it. yes?
God, I love that woman. WOW ... such demented minds.
Sure you don't. You just want a one sided game of accusing me of being a double naught spy for the ADL, not the fair play of turning your game right back on you.
No argument there.
Dude, just because you're dishonest doesn't mean that everyone is.
"We can make a natural alliance through the ownership of the great industries of the world and through the sharing of their profits." -Lord Charles Beresford, in a 1903 speech to the (Anglo-American-Jewish) Pilgrims Society.
Dude, just because you like to play little games usually left to the play yard bully, doesn't mean you are a big shot. You want me to go on the defensive, but I don't have to. When games like yours' have no substance to them, I am free to throw them back in your face complete with a taste of your own medicine. You do what you do as personal attacks, I do what I do to lampoon the silliness of what you do. You have a monopoly on the dishonesty here, and if I were you I would be careful about what bluff you want to be called on.

Nintendo didn't write this review. It's someone else's that s/he copied and posted here.
that's for sure.
The review about palo is hilarious.
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers My sincere apologies if that's the case !
"nemo me impune lacessit" no one provokes me with impunity
It's obvious the reviewer is one of the current crop of sycophantic bots now inhabiting ElPee. The palo verde reference is especially revolting.
I reckon since you are such a self declared authority on this you feel we must take your word for it. yes? Stormfront is in danger of becoming Crypto-Jewfront. At least that is what I have heard by keeping my ear to the rail. ;0)

Richard M. Nixon
Palo Verde is on crack. The stuff she posts makes me wonder which drugstore she goes to.
In the immortal words of the original SNL news broadcast may I say,"sdfgsdfgs, you ignorant slut!" CBS was not passing off a fake story as truth. The originator of the document had died leaving only his secretary to verify what was written. Greg Palast had posted the letter in his book, "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" in 2000. The Power of those that be got a retraction yet still insisted on having Rather's head and got it served to them on a silver platter. Yes, demand accountability of the press. May I suggest beginning with Fox news? While we're insisting of the truth why don't we hold our politicians accountable for fabricating or distorting information. When one is predisposed to only believe a set of "truthes" that coincide with what they "feel" to be truthful that is prejudicial. That tendency is one of people who tend to be stuck in a mold of traditional thinking or conservative thinking. There is another line of thinking by people who are open to new information. Those that analyze things and are open to change. These type of people in the lexicon are refered to as liberal thinkers.
pot, I think it is.

When CBS tried to pass off a fake story as truth, a poster on Free Republic was the one who found the untruth of the story. It is time to hold the news media accountable for their stories. When they tell an outright lie, then that needs to be told to the people of this country.
1. There were no ties with Sadaam and Osama Bin Ladden or Al Queada.
2. Claims of WMD in Iraq were distorted to justify "preemptive war."
3. The Florida Election in 2000 was a set up to create confusion so that electronic voting which was easier to manipulate would be easier for the public to swallow.
4. Jeb Bush told reporter Al Martin in 1986, "The public can't handle and don't want to know the truth."
5. The "poster" at free republic who "uncovered the untruth of the story," is a "poser," a "shill" that distorted not disproved the allegation. That you and other truth lite republicans chose not to believe the original story is not an indication of media lying it only offers credence to what Jeb told Al Martin, "the public doesn't want to know the truth."
