I think that the free market system might help is all. If Jim made FR a subscription site, I think that we would have very few “trolls” and a much better sounding board, and organizatuional site for the conservative movement.
Only subscribers could post, and pay for the privilege. Everyone else could view as much as yhey want. I would have no qualms about seeing Jim do just that, and still require subscribers to have a conservative orientation.
HOw much would it cost a year ?
$88k x 4 / 70,000= 5 bucks a year. I am good for it.
I’d pay for twenty years in advance.
HA! They only exist because their hero is a fraud and afraid of being uncovered. As soon as he slides down that slippery slope he’s already put both feet on, they will drift away like pondscum in the wind.
EXCELLENT IDEA!!
I too agree that with a subscription-based model, it would eliminate the DU/Kos-trolls. + might once and for all end the quarterly freepathons.
You could also offer lifetime memberships, as well as different levels of membership. Gold, Silver, Bronze would allow members to have avatars + extra’s.
That’s really not a good idea if the mission is furthering conservative ideals. We want what we discuss here to be viewed easily by everybody.
Would a church charge visitors who stop by to learn more about their congregation?
Trolls can’t come close to competing with the members here, and I imagine that Jim is able to raise what he needs with Freepathons. If he needs more money to operate the site I’m sure we’ll hear about it! :)
Don’t become over-confident. The libs will use every dirty trick in the book to insure Scott loses.

Needed; military and retired law enforcement VFW and police organizations etc to monitor polls- prevent the voter fraud they’re plotting right now. Video tape everything; document everything; prosecute the perpetrators. http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=3599
the trolls are being paid by our tax dollars already...and I am sure the DNC and Ford Foundation grants and Teresa Hines foundations and Soros organizations, etc.....
