Welcome Freak Out Nationers
As Anomaly at Freak Out Nation has announced, we have steamrolled over her site agreed to create a bigger liberal presence on the web by appropriating merging our efforts. It is my hope that she will eventually go away together we can build a bigger, more robust community.
I hope you feel as at home here as you have at FON. If you’d like to contribute ideas, stories, or opinion, please use the “Submit a Story” link on the upper right of the front page. We’ve found many contributors this way, some of whom know how to write in English. Registering for the site gives you the ability to submit stories, and allows entree to our chat room, which is mostly populated during my radio show (6-9PM ET Mon-Fri). If you’re already registered with Disqus, you can comment with the same level of snark and disrespect as you have previously.
The name “Liberaland” was conceived with the idea that it could be a progressive playground where we could exchange ideas, get to know each other, and have fun observing the news of the day. With the addition of Anomaly, and with the able assist of our admin, Dave “Doctor” Gonzo, we believe we are on our way to creating a go-to destination for those of us who share the ideals of kindness, social justice and peace, while never taking ourselves too seriously.
Anomaly is a pain in the ass wonderful person whose sensibilities and humor are a perfect match for Liberaland. If this doesn’t work out we will never speak again each go back to our respective corners, but our hope is that we can create something bigger, better, and more exciting than either of us could on our own.
So, welcome aboard, fasten your seatbelts, and let’s hit the pedal for a great ride!

Thank you Alan – as you know some of us have already been polluting your site since the merger was announced – it will be great to get everyone over here so we can make a shambles of the place and drive all the paying customers away. Just think of us as a giant ant army that decimates everything it touches.
Anomaly taught us all well.
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 13:55
I”m just so relieved that we can be disrespectful. I was worried at first.
Eric Trommater June 27th, 2014 at 14:09
The issue of Penis Articles still hasn’t been broached? Will I still be able to find the quality of phalic commentary I came to find on FON? . . . I’m ummmm asking for a friend.
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 14:13
I don’t think Alan will mind the penis stories. He’s the proud owner of one.
BanditBasheert June 27th, 2014 at 14:18
HOW do you KNOW that!!!!
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 14:21
I just assumed so because he has a gorgeous wifey.
mrsgunka June 30th, 2014 at 13:16
It appears we are making the transition…..the topic of penis’s has been brought up and established Mr Alan is endowed with one…so far. We’ll see…..
Anomaly 100 June 30th, 2014 at 13:24
Let the penis posts begin!
mmaynard119 June 28th, 2014 at 22:27
That should be rechecked after the next 60 days,
R.J. Carter June 27th, 2014 at 14:21
I think they’re okay. I just saw a dildo fight here a few moments ago.

Of course you know, it’s not a completely clean merger. You also get some of the conservative detritus that clings to it. Like me.
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 13:59
You’re one of the only Conservatives that gets a ton of upvotes from our liberal readers. My comments have been flagged (true story) more than yours. Neener!
R.J. Carter June 27th, 2014 at 14:06
I guess I need to try harder. :)
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 14:07
I have faith in you!
Chinese Democracy June 29th, 2014 at 14:10
no you will be fine.. the word conservatives and upvote in the same sentence is funny but in my case would never happen
Im one of those liberally type liberals
Alan June 27th, 2014 at 14:02
I am very familiar with conservative detritus.
R.J. Carter June 27th, 2014 at 14:07
Sorry, I’d love to hear more, but I’m up against a hard break… :-)

It’s okay, I’m here now. We can stir stuff up.

Thanks Linda! I’m operating on the principal that it’s okay to defend what I truly believe, but that there’s no shame in admitting when one of “my team” has been caught being flat out stupid. Maybe it’s working.

I just want to say on behalf of both of my regular readers (my two children) and me that we fear change and (of course) blame Obama for this merger.
My 13 son consoled me this morning with the reminder that they combined Alien and Predator into a single movie once, and also Freddy and Jason, and that turned out ok.
I’ve never seen either movie but I’m sure to any of you who have3 will find solace in this. So wise children. So wise.
Alan June 27th, 2014 at 17:11
It’s been 3 hours, Eric, and you haven’t contributed a post yet. This is getting tedious.
Eric Trommater June 27th, 2014 at 21:33
I have another job besides trolling! How do you think I pay for the cheeos and Mt. Dew?
Alan June 28th, 2014 at 11:13
Trolling isn’t a job; it’s a calling.
Eric Trommater June 28th, 2014 at 17:12
Well that would explain why the 7-11 wouldn’t take my Disusq likes in exchange for a 12 pack of Mt. Dew.
mrsgunka June 30th, 2014 at 13:03
They take mine. But I’m a sexy blonde Granny. It must be my age. :-)

I think this merger will be an excellent deal for the American taxpayer as well.
The NSA can now monitor just one website instead of both of them. Just think of the savings in federal spending. The deficit continues to shrink. Thanks Alan, or Obama or whomever.
R.J. Carter June 27th, 2014 at 14:37
The archives folders on my hard drive agree with you.

What has happened? I thought I was going to find out about Carla’s boobs when I made regular visits at FON and now I find out we’ve all been drafted into Alan’s Army. Being a veteran I stand ready for battle against right-wing misinformation but I must warn you the only part of my uniform that still fits is my Pea coat.
Carla Akins June 27th, 2014 at 19:22
Sorry I’m late to the party today. I promise to devote as much time to my amazing rack here as I did on FON.
mrsgunka June 30th, 2014 at 12:44
That’s comforting Carla. Thought we would have to check our bankies and pacifiers at the door. Change is hard.
John_St_John June 30th, 2014 at 12:58
I had an amazing rack once, then my wife told me to stop screwing around and take off the hat with the deer antlers on it.

A GREAT idea! One thing though, when is this site going to get on Google+? It’s where I spend most of my time, and it’s well worth it as it’s actually larger than Twitter.
Anomaly 100 June 27th, 2014 at 16:27
I meant to ask Alan if he has a Google+ page, but I forget stuff at my old age.
M D Reese June 27th, 2014 at 17:16
Ginkgo Biloba and CoQ10 help with that. Oh–and notepads…

Alan June 27th, 2014 at 17:09
I have a personal Google+ page but don’t have one for the site. And I haven’t done anything with my page. I’ve found FB and Twitter to be much more productive thus far
novenator June 27th, 2014 at 22:06
Facebook has more traffic than all other social media sites combined, but remember that there once was a time when MySpace could make the same claim. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket! :)
Alan June 28th, 2014 at 11:12
my eggs are with FB and Twitter, but I never thought Google+ achieved that kind of critical mass. Not sure how much Google is still invested in it.

Google has announced that they are sunsetting Google+; I wouldn’t invest too heavily in it. Rgds, Tengrain

Not being sunsetted or retired. The company just decided to shift
1000-1200 employees from G+ development to other areas (like Android) once Vic Gundrota stepped down. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/report-google-to-end-forced-g-integration-drastically-cut-division-resources/
The infrastructure is already there though, and it’s still the 2nd largest internet site after Facebook.

I think it will work out fine. I check both sites and while there’s a lot of overlap, there’s always something different. I appreciate the welcome of us just as we are–snark and all the disrespect that a situation may call for. I hope that adult language may still be used when appropriate. From what I’ve seen on both sites, moderators (or whatever the name of the day is on FON) do a good job, as do the other commentors. Rude people with nothing to add to the conversation don’t last long.
