Is there another RW site that may have more intelligent posters ? |
|
It just seems that the freeps are not much of a match for us, all modesty aside :rofl: However, I'm not volunteering to go scope 'em out. :-)

2. nope that's top o the line in KKK fora |
|
you could try Little Green Footballs,or Powerline, they have pretensions of greater intellegence than the freepers. The real warriors go to the Yahoo politics boards. But freepers there are even stupider than at FR, if you can believe it.

www.techcentralstation.com
Essays by people from AEI and such places, with comments by surfers. You must register to post. Some words are banned, such as "Nazi", for some mysterious reason :-) If you use those words, your post will not show.
It's perhaps a level above Free Republic, in terms of intelligence (still not much of a match for DU, obviously, but what can you expect from rightwingnuts).
Ideological profile is neo-conservative, with some Libertarians posting.

... to read more intelligent right winger intellectuals ply their trade.. Like a bunch of George Wills and William F Buckleys, instead of the extras from Deliverence posting in all caps.

Seriously, I spent several hours there surfing around and reading. Many of the people there seem quite bright based on their posts. It's sheer arrogance to assume that Freepers are stupid. Ignorant, perhaps, but not stupid.
I see a large portion of the nation deeply concerned about our future, roughly in consensus about a number of issues, but deeply divided as to which political party best represents their views.

14. Welcome to DU. There used to be a large group of bright folk over there |
|
but it seems to me I have run across some of them on other boards where they said they got booted for having incorrect ideologies at times.

17. LOL, I guess you are more 'forgiving' than I |
|
Complete sentences, somewhat accurate spelling and, most importantly, some actual content are my 'bugaboos' in disseminating value, but, go figure, that's just me.

16. best bet is to go to a board focused on something else |
|
There are reasonable conservatives on some non-political boards. I've met them (and some of thier rabid or braindead brethren) on attatchment parenting boards and on boards for fans of some books I'm fond of. The political discussions on those boards tend to be gentler and more diverse than most political boards, which tend to turn into free-for-alls or eventually get moderated into bland uselessness if both sides just bash on each other all day.
