So, I just designed Free Republic?
Yet, you still don’t understand what I have actually designed.
The fact is that, what I have designed is completely different from FR, and if I were interested in doing another FR, it would be quite simple to just pick up a ready made internet software package and set up “another FR” in a matter of hours. But, no, what I have in mind is a completely different animal, and one which is not that simple to set up, and which is very different from any other out there.
Now, no matter how much you want to deny it, you still sound very negative and defeated with your attitude. There is nothing wrong with being very opinionated, but, opinions are not always the same as fact, and oftentimes, they’re not based on facts. You can’t make up your own facts in order to prove me wrong or you right. FOX, as an example, may not be a conservative station, but, it’s also very far from being just another left-wing media organization. When it comes to global warming, you do have some points, but, we’re very far from having those wackos and crooks winning the debate. Sure, the EPA has gone mad with massive and unneeded environmental regulations, but they’re not actual laws which have to stay in the books once a new administration takes office, and it’s not an indication of their global warming consensus showing the need for action.
BTW, I didn’t intend for you to take any of my posts personally. I’m simply pointing out a difference of opinion. You believe one way, I believe another. However, I believe we’re still after the same goals, at least politically. I’m trying to do it one way, you see it differently. I prefer to remain positive and will not allow the opposition dictate to me what I can or cannot do. Otherwise, there would be no reason to even exist.
We’ll just have to disagree on pretty much everything here.
I am not taking this personally per se, but you continue to discount and/or minimize factual examples and keep pushing some meme that I’m defeatist when I clearly said we need things like you propose, but that isn’t the answer. That’s not defeatist, that’s rational thought backed up by the functioning of the political process we live in..
RE: The FR comparison - The one thing that significantly between your plan and FR is the monitization issue. And even there, Bloggers monitze their articles they post on their sites and link to FR all the time, thus it’s not really that different after all.
As for the rest, well, as the saying goes, you are entitled to your beliefs, but not to your own facts.
I wish you the best in your endeavor and I hope it succeeds. I honestly do. But I maintain that Big $$$ are the driving force to get things done.
