In my opinion this site is much less active than it was in the early days.

During the Clinton era, this site was a major thorn in the Clinton's butt. We were taking out full page ads during the early days of impeachment. We did stuff to combat what we were seeing. In hindsight the Clinton's weren't that bad, in comparison.

Should we be doing more?

I heard Hannity on his radio show on Friday bemoan the changes here.

I heard that too. What was that all about? Is Hannity too lazy to peruse the site? There is a lot here, and it takes effort to search it out. Just ignore what you don't like, and don't engage in the vitriol.

Regarding your other comments, I agree whole-heartedly. This is a great site with great posters, for the most part. Thank you Jim & John Robinson. I've been here since before 1998, although that is not what my "date" says. I think it got re-jiggered during one of the upgrades.

Can you imagine if FR had avatars?

Perish the thought!

Someone who remembers,

I loved Kristen’s weekly after action reports from the DC chapter weekly protests, and Larry Klaymen updates with Judge Lamberth(sp) and Judicial Watch and who can forget Christopher Rudy!!!

How bout the election recount and “Get out of Cheney’s house!” That was classic.

What’s with all the deleted comments?

FR ROCKS!

Wait until Sarah Palin annouces!

I notice about.com has a list of their top ten conservative/republican websites and FR isn't on it...

Maybe because some of us decided to actually get really involved and help CHANGE things rather than just talking about it....go check out ISPYONSALEM.com (it’s a radio show that you can download)......and it’s Freeper backed.

As a matter of fact, the site looks eerily similar to the one that existed in 1998.

That's a good thing, IMHO, it actually makes it easier to see which threads are happening, and which ones to ignore, I prefer this format over the other forum formats.

Many Freepers gone from the those days of weekend protests outside the White House, and the very successful 31 October 1998 DC Rally. Freepers of that era at that rally: Matt Drudge, Lucciane Goldberg, Alan Keyes, Jim Robinson, many others — a legendary assembly of legendary Freepers.

IMHO people are somewhat timid recently.

I think there was shock that Obama could actually win, and what is happening now is a lack of confidence on how to beat the left.

The way to beat the left is to be more in-their-face and a bit less dignified. More Alinsky.

Don’t forget Ann Coulter - she was there. And someone still needs to give her a sandwich (LOL)

Hannity can kiss my WSA. I dropped his show years ago. Too many Yankee RINOs and Democrat degenerates he called "my good friend".

It isn't a new attack from Hannity.

He sees FR as "fringe" as this old thread, from 2005, shows

Unfortunately the linked audio is gone. I heard, second-hand, he's now complaining about FR "ideological purity" harming the conservative cause.

In time History books will record that DC Rally and FR with fondness and give it a proper weighing.

Just because a website posts a list does not mean they have any idea about the subject. I noticed that the RNC is one of those on the list of so-called “conservative” websites. There is not a thing conservative about the RNC.

No, If I had meant indefensible, that's what I would have said.

I gave my opinion that gun show operators, (not the government), should not allow private sales at their gun shows for various reasons. You would have thought that I was a communist gun-grabber!!!

Start at post 23.

No one ever addressed the problems I raised. Just personal attacks.
