Your friend Jim George thinks you'd be a great addition to Ricochet, so we'd like to offer you a special deal: You can become a member for no initial charge for one month!
Ricochet is a community of like-minded people who enjoy writing about and discussing politics (usually of the center-right nature), culture, sports, history, and just about every other topic under the sun in a fully moderated environment. We’re so sure you’ll like Ricochet, we’ll let you join and get your first month for free. Kick the tires: read the always eclectic member feed, write some posts, join discussions, participate in a live chat or two, and listen to a few of our over 50 (free) podcasts on every conceivable topic, hosted by some of the biggest names on the right, for 30 days on us. We’re confident you’re gonna love it.
It’s official. Fred has gone full-on NPR. :)
I’m getting mixed messages here. Do you want me to renew or not?
I gave up Facebook. I talk here. There’s still plenty of back and forth, but it’s less personal. And the podcasts are awesome. I listen to the Three Martini Lunch every single day. The cost per month is less than a cup of coffee.
I joined because I wanted to share my thoughts and I stay because I get people like Fred who actually take the time to read what I wrote and then share their thoughts with me.
This is a great place.
Okay, Okay!! I’ll join up!! Oh, wait . . . . I already have. And very glad I did. Good job, Fred.
I’m staying with Ricochet in spite of you. We’ll have some fun!
I joined years ago because my wife knows the punch lines to all my jokes. Here I have a whole new audience to politely twitter at my stale humor….
That said, this place has been a great refuge for a conservative to seek solace while living in a deep blue hades. Meeting the folks behind the avatars has been a special joy. Between the four meet ups that I have attended, plus my personal outreach missions, I think I can fairly claim to have met over 100 Ricochetti IRL domain.
Too bad they can’t convince some followers from some other “center-right” podcasts to post here.
Adam Carolla has been hanging out with Dennis Prager doing the free speech thing.
Hugh Hewitt has hughniverse.com even with old 2012 James Lileks stuff, but that website never seemed to take off.
Dennis Miller had a decent forum for his old conservative/comedy radio show, but he sort of checked out in 2015 after Romney was defeated and even further after his weekly spots with Bill O’Reilly stopped this year. The rest of the people from Dennis’ old show are at the Bladt Cast podcast. Of course, there is Bill O’Reilly himself, and Glenn Beck seems to be in some website transitioning.
Canadian professor Jordan Peterson seems to have really taken off on youtube.
The folks down by the studios at Dailywire.com and the Rubin Report have produced some interviews and stuff that has really taken off.
Herman Cain dropped over 100 of his radio stations as syndication apparently isn’t really profitable anymore unless I guess you are one of the big names.
It seems like some former politicians like Rick Santorum and Artur Davis used to post here.
You mean all of those Weekly Standard and Washington Examiner people and their podcasts didn’t help out?
Are Bartles and Jaymes available?
We need a real Thought Leader
Of course I’ll renew. One of these days Mona will write a pro-Trump column and I have to be there.
Well, I’ll renew anyway.
Worth MORE than every penny you spend on a membership.
Rush and Ricochet Forever!
Man… that’s deep.
That would be a sure sign of the End Times. Or maybe Early Times. It’s one of those.
The Alpha and Omega of internet chat sites.
Fred probably left out the risqué member feed pin up calendar. Rowr.
There is no better place to have discussions on the internet. The Code of Conduct keeps things at a decent tone. And there are so many discussions that are about deeper things, in life, in love and in family. It is not all political on the Member Feed, which is where the real action is at.
I follow 103 members, because I want to make sure I read everything they post. For some strange reason, 49 are following me.
I’d have been more impressed if it wasn’t just 12 pictures of DocJay. But the ladies seem to like it. And did Mike LaRoche take the September picture? Jay in a cheerleader skirt, waiving his Pompoms is quite fetching. The 2018 Calendar is free if you join now. If you buy two memberships, the PTB will substitute the @Rightangles version for @docjay .
The straight out means of the CoC mean I can say my praises to the Old Ones without any trouble.
I would suggest if you are a Trump supporter or anyone that gives him a fair shake that you should think long and hard about joining. It may not be worth the headache, but then again what do I know.
If you are looking for a site where everyone agrees with you, then indeed Ricochet is not for you. Whether the topic is Donald Trump, immigration, the war on drugs, gay marriage, Islam, Christianity, atheism, taxation, Coke vs. Pepsi, Israel and the Palestinians, the war on terror, support for police, Windows vs. Mac, childless marriages, libertarianism, or pizza toppings you will find people on at least two sides of each issue. Many of us like it that way. We’re so tolerant of diverse opinions that someone can comment on a post asking people to join, and tell them not to join.
Wait, we have Mac users here?
Once you go Mac you never go back….
“Users” in the same sense as someone with an expensive heroin habit.
We have no problem with differing opinions. It is the denigration and derision from the NT’s that we cannot support.
