Just hopped over to Free Republic to see what they are babbling about
and I got to say, that is one pitiful piece of a discussion board.
Now I know why so many of them lurk over here, there boards suck.

1. Their threads can be broken down into just 2 categories:
Sex and Religion.

3. You know what they say about preoccupation with sex...
A lack of occupation with sex.

4. All the can do is run around screaming
About evil liberals who want to steal their money and guns and push gay people into their home. Real psychotic bunch over there.

5. I had an interesting lurker experience
I was googling some research on military manufacturers that are starting to demand licenses royalties from plastic model makers. Buried in the Google links was a fairly long thread at Free Republic. So I clicked and lurked (not posting).

No big surprise, they weren't happy about it for the same reasons I was - it is an absurd mis-application of trademark and copyright law. But then some body complained that the companies were being greedy. That lead to numerous accusations and counter accusations about who was a DU troll.

6. They are a paranoid bunch.
As soon as someone deviates from the Party Line (is there a documented Party Line position over there?)...you must be a DU troll.

7. it's a perfect illustration

of why the GOP has historically been and remained The Stupid Party. I find their magic materialism and general paganism and political occultism vaguely amusing at times.

But it's all a crack house- their highs are very high, the delusions are fun and highly intriguing, but when they come down it's all misery and shit and failure and dirty laundry and excuses.

8. the owner is CHEAP and
will not pay for good software. DU has a programmer making changes all the time. Typical Repugs... make as much $$$ as you can with a shitty produce.

9. Even if it were a liberal discussion board, I wouldn't go there
because the format sucks so hard.
