here's an article i found on the internet that mirrors my opinion about the web site this thread is about being a liberal left political web site.

hi folks !
I have spent some significant time on the
freedom connector site recently. Those are hours of my life i will not get back. I am wondering now, about the value of it. At first it seemed like a facebook for conservatives, and in may ways it is. Like facebook, it's fast becoming the wild west.
If you sign up i strongly recommend you do not use your real name, make up a moniker.
i have been deluged there by all sorts of nefarious persons.
allow me to attempt to classify them:
the water to fuel crowd
these folks are convinced that the "science" is sound, and that there is some sort of conspiracy to suppress the "pioneers" while at the same time
dismissing the scientific community and ignoring judgments in courts of law of fraud. No matter how you respond, they have some retort highlighting mythical undiscovered secrets the dead pioneers did not disclose.
Lately, their approach is to include how "godly" and good is the pioneer or whomever they want you to invest with is. A sure sign of a
fraud.
the teot-wako (the end of the world...something)
this is an old theory/group, and full of anacryonims. Much like climate change buffs, their approach is nearing religious status.
i have found their "discussions" full of half truths, half-baked ideas, and a firm reliance and mix of bilderberg, illuminati,
the result of too many hours of watching leftist "documentaries" of doom mixed with the new age religion of 2012 from a long-dead myan civilization, thoroughly too many hours watching and believing you tube as truth where any crackpot can post a video.
what i suspect is most slept thru science class and are at least socially awkward or shut-ins giving credence to you-tube videos.
Sad really, as they are mostly decent folks, but they believe it is going to be a total end of the economy and society. When challenged, they too reject science for simplistic homemade "recipes" and are shortsighted in the view of some chemical, biological, nuclear, apocalypse.
at any moment i expect to read about methods to deal with zombies. (some already define zombies as those who do not think like 'them")
lately, i see an influx of twisted ideas of faith and religion, mixed with a militia kill them all attitude. God forbid we do end up in the scenario they predict, as i believe we will see many of their corpses on the roadside, fallen to some mistaken "science" belief. So simply out of ignorance, a little knowledge, sets one up for the potential catastrophic event.
there is such a thing as killing with kindness.
lol and i am the bad guy for raining on their parade and their "better than nothing" logic. Dead man walking in my opinion. God only knows what the actual event will do to their mental condition.
con-men/women and trolls
there is a fair amount of con men and women, selling this or that and even investments. A recent evolution is the "i am building a shelter in a secret place, send me your money and we will have supplies and your spot waiting when you flee the city." there are a few legit organizations...very few. Some "sell" seeds, food supplies, and books, some are legit resellers and affiliates like myself.
Just be careful of the prices, and shipping costs. I would rather pass on the value and make the $ in volume rather than at each sale.
the trolls, are the extreme viewpoint in each subject discussed.
most likely bloggers and "journalists" of the left trolling for statements to be used as fodder for slam articles and expose's. They could even be law enforcement running stings, of which i sincerely hope there is some of that going on, i have run across some real wako's.
As far as money donations go. I personally do not give any of it. If the message is true and sound, it will get out there and be accepted regardless of the number of commercials.
Look at the billions the unions and leftists spent on the 2010 elections, what did it get them ?with the notable exception of an individual starting out, i won't give donations again largely because of the myth that somehow the ads, banners, and rallies will convince the
mythical undecided.
you can't fix or convince stupid.
finally, it is dick armey, who is the spokesman for the freedom connector as a whole.
He is gop. Always has been always will.
conservative does not = gop in my book.
I have been registered independent since i was 18
my reason is i did not want any party to count on my vote, i wanted them to show me why they should have it. Words and deeds says it all. It also keeps my mailbox empty of the inevitable myriad requests for money. Something i find extremely annoying. I find it like the preacher who says god needs your money. Nope. If the message is true and sound you cannot suppress it. Regardless of $
i mean really, does anyone on the left really think the protests in wisconsin will convince even one conservative vote to side with them ? I am sure there are some..... A fool and his money are soon parted...
