Is FR going to continue to be an resource for Conservatism,

Or is FR merely going to devolve into being a chat group for people whose beliefs manage to momentarily coincide with Conservatism.

Good question!

And the recent past here on FR puts an interesting light on a big issue from the past:

When Klinton was in office, a lot of people looked around the internet and asked, "How come more democrats don't speak up against Klinton?!"

It's possible democrats experienced something similar to what conservatives are currently experiencing. Here in our very visible forum -- where an outsider might look to see how conservatives react to Bush -- just about everyone who attempts to speak objectively about the sitting prez simply gets "disappeared."

You expect such stuff from the 'rats. They don't believe in principles, just expediency. It's very unsettling to see such activity from "conservatives"...

I observed in an email that FR, lately, is like a teen slasher movie -- every day, one or two more of us is gone....

I think thats the concern of most of the legitimate posts. The tinfoil posts usually get shouted down of their own accord. But there are some that wont let this issue be. Personally I dont think they realize what a great resource FR is, and what weve been able to do, but the nay sayers are always gonna gripe because they got banned. But I felt, in the interest of fairness, that maybe some cut to the chase is appropriate before a bunch of people start spamming with out of context stuff.

BTW,

Thank You Jim for listening to us, and for addressing something the critics of this site wouldnt have the gall to do. It just shows this site, and we all, are bigger than that.

Youve fought the good fight, for all of us, and thank you for listening to us. Never quit, your the best.
