You might wish to take a look at the notice on the Free Republic home page:
“Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We’re here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We’re not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators.”
Jump right in!Most visitors to Free Republic are attracted to our very popular (and, warning: addictive) conservative news and discussion forum which can be found by clicking here or following any of the forum links in the sidebars.
While we don't want to be overrun by liberal trolls disrupting the site with agitprop posts, we do want to be able to post news articles from liberal-leaning sites and discuss them from the conservative point of view.
We don't want this site to be an echo chamber of self-selected news from conservative sites, or else we'll get stuck in confirmation bias, only seeing the news tilts that we agree with.
