No, it’s not a typo. Repubclic is a new web site that anyone interested in
- nurturing individual liberty
- promoting fiscal responsibility
- curbing the drift rush toward statism
- putting the “service” back in “public service”
- getting the government off your back
- lowering taxes
- attending to America’s national security
will want to make part of their daily internet rounds.
Unveiled about 15 minutes ago, Repubclic “was founded by a group of forward-thinking conservatives in 2010, on the eve of what we expect is a tidal shift in American political sentiment in favor of personal liberty, smaller government, and less regulation.”
What is Repubclic all about?
“Repubclic is a gathering place. We’d invent an African proverb to describe it, but we don’t have one at the ready.

Repub clic.
I’m not a fan of the name. Very confusing, and contains the often-perjorative “Repub” that your standard angry Dem loves to use so much.
Plus you can easily mistake it for “Republic” (spelled correctly).
Not well thought out. Too clever by half, one might say.
This from Repubclic:
“Reconciliation is wrong, and I explain things in a rambling and half-way coherent way.”
Sounds like they’re adopting PJM’s stringent standards.
I’m not sure how this is “saving the republic” any moreso than a zillion other conservative/libertarian news and bloggery websites.
Did I miss something?
If this is such a great new “organization”, why do they state in #6 on Privacy Policy: “Personal information collected by Repubclic may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which parent company Repubclic LLC or its agents maintain facilities.”
Something smells fishy here.
This is brilliant-exactly what libertarians and conservatives need. In my view, on the Web the Right reissts organization. The left is dominated by one authoritarian voice, first Kos, now Huffington. That is how the left thinks. The right side is dispersed. A community tool that brings together thousands of difference conservativelibertarian blogs is a great idea. I’ll sign up. Love the facebook integration on the “followups” too.
Ahh, Roger, what’s a “drift rush”? A little bit of both?
Thanks for the tip. Somehow, the comment above mocking PJMs stringent standards reminded me of a classic piece by Col. Charlie Beckwith in the WSJ on the effeminization of America, such that feckless worms who couldn’t buy their way into latrine duty get to strut around as if they’d earned the right to participate in public discourse.
