THE ANSWER IS FREE REPUBLIC!
BZZZZZT...nope, sorry, try again. While I love FReep, this forum is a place for preaching to the choir and rallying the troops. Most low-information types have never heard of Free Republic, and if they have, it's because the Huffy Puffy Post or Jon Stewart bashed us.
How do we keep the Obammunist lickspittle media diverting attention away from seeking the truth? The same way we need to do with all issues, such as VAgate, IRSgate, NSAgate, Benghazigate, Solyndragate, Fast and Furious-gate, et al...we troll their sites. We write letters to the editors of their papers. We engage them at every opportunity, preferably in public where low-information types may be listening in, and flatten them with the truth. Preaching to the choir has gotten us nowhere in the 15 years I've been on FReep...except further in the hole. We have to quit thinking defensively and go on offense. We have to quit avoiding a fight, and start punching.
And for cryin' out loud, can't we get some people who can communicate with low-information types in language they understand, instead of overly-educated eggheads who use the biggest words they can find, trying to impress everyone with how smart they are?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
