Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” The Wall Street Journal’s deputy editorial page editor Bret Stephens argued against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s candidacy and said he must be “decisively rebuked” to the point that it will teach Republican voters a “lesson.”
“I most certainly will not vote for Donald Trump,” Stephens said. “I will vote for the least left-wing opponent to Donald Trump and I want to make a vote to make sure that he has — that he is the biggest loser in presidential history since, I don’t know, Alf Landon or

WSJ must lose subscribers to go into bankruptcy to learn their lesson.
When you work 60-70 hour weeks regularly, an occasional sleep-in is NICE.
Problem with search is that you have to know what your searching for, and if its off the first page, well you have no idea what to add to the parameters.
I appreciate your patience, and how well you think out your answers.
Bandwidth costs money, and mods are not plentiful, so FR relies on the community to help direct traffic. When I first came here years ago, other freepers let me know what things to do and not to do. It's not personal, nor did I say anything to you except that the article had already been posted and discussed. Maybe some who participated in that thread would also like to see yours; or maybe some who might post to yours might like to see what others have said.
Or, there is the issue of duplication within a short time frame, which the mods often do adjust by locking the second thread. I did not sic the mods on you, so your ire is misplaced.
Here is an answer to your question:
If you are about to post a story, go to the search box and enter the title of the story. Beneath is a pull-down menu with four items: Keywords, Users, Title, Yahoo. Choose "Title", and the Search box will tell you if the title has already been posted, and when. You can then see if a day has passed or only an hour, and decide whether to repost the story or to join the existing discussion, or link to it on your thread yourself, if there are some points of interest on that thread.
Your question is how to know what to search for, and the answer is to search for the title of the article you want to post. FR depends on fundraisers. Bandwidth costs money, and duplicate threads eat bandwidth. So, frequent posters search to see if their article is already posted as a matter of courtesy.
See the above post 143 for an explanation of how to search if you are about to post an article. The Search function doesn’t depend on which page an article appears on, since FR gives individuals the choice of 20, 50 or 100 posts per page. It just looks for the title, to help avoid duplication.
Has this WSJ editor bothered to learn the lesson that the first 3 words of the US Constitution are “We the People”? If the xGOPe has learned that lesson earlier then they wouldn’t have gotten Donald Trump as the GOP nominee. But they didn’t as they had guys like John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Paul Ryan ignore the growing federal debt problem without taking concrete action to actually fix it.
The sad reality is that it might be too late to fix without a very severe downturn first.
11% ?! They didn’t even get 1% in 2012.

Thanks for that post. Some people don’t use their brains & realize people have different schedules. Not everyone can be on FR early in the morning.
What an idiot or Hillary supporter ... or both.
Yes, before Rupert Murdoch bought it.
I have a foolproof technique.
I pick one word from the headline, the more unique, the better.
Then I search down the results until the chronometer-stamp is older than the article.
Easy-peasy and I never miss.
“WSJ’s Stephens: Trump Must Be ‘Decisively Rebuked’ So Republican Voters ‘Learn Their Lesson’”
FreeRepublic’s Personal Responsibility: The GOPe Must Be ‘Decisively Rebuked’ So Self-Styled Oligarchs ‘Learn Their Lesson’
Sort of the way I felt about Romney. I voted for the jerk anyway.
One of the many reasons Trump won the nomination is that GOP voters DID learn a lesson after seeing decisive losses by McCain and Romney.
Sorry Bret old boy, “republicans” aren’t going to elect Trump, AMERICANS are.
I have a better idea. Let’s teach the WSJ and Bret Stephens a lesson.
I almost held my nose until my girlfriend told me in tears just how bad Obamacare (which Romney pioneered in his state) was going to screw up her insurance plan. That did it right there.
Breitbart needs to fire their IT staff. They can’t do video!
Sounds like there is no right answer to that one...David Duke is far more than a "repugnant" man.
Anyone know if Sheldon Adelson is Jewish?
Quoth Adelson last February:
Trump is a businessman. I am a businessman. He employs a lot of people. I employed 50,000 people. Why not [support him]? It reminds me of [a joke]: One Jewish man said to another Jewish man, "Do you know why Jews always answer a question with a question?" So, the guy said, "Why not?"
