15. They're sneaky that way!
No, actually, they're pretty much too stupid to be that sneaky. The last one I saw get flushed out had the name Neocon1977 - now that's a bright one, eh?

21. Well
all I can say is, I contributed to DU. Check out the star. I'm a committed liberal. Just trying to inject some humor into a depressing time for our Nation. I know better now.

22. I'm not pointing a finger at you
I have a pretty good feel for who's a freeper and who's not and you don't have that freeper feel.

7. Now why would you want to go and do that?
Take a shower. Have a glass of wine. Breathe deeply.

13. How can that be?
I read in the media, and seen on the TEEVEE that we're all Volvo-driving, wine and cheese scarfing, ivory-tower elitists.

Maybe the media will be sending us each a Volvo and a case of Vouvray? :shrug:

Maybe the "liberal" media has it wrong? Believe it or not, I'm a long haul trucker who owns a gun, drinks Bud, and votes Democratic. Who woulda thunk?

16. WTF were you thinking?
No, they do not make sense. It's just the level of stupidity that bores itself into your head until you almost give up.
It's a defense mechanism.

20. I check out the enemy all the time.
I have to-I live in Fundieland!

(actually, I did ask you in a humorous way-it just doesn't always translate well onto a message board).

24. Like I said-humor is sometimes hard to translate
on a message board.
And as to where you live-I don't know how you can even stand to check out the enemy. You must hear it all day long, as do I (Missouri).

I don't get home as much as I'd like, but I stream Birmingham radio when I get a chance. Drives me batty. BTW, I'm streaming AAR as we speak.

28. Alabama, and a long-haul trucker AND a liberal...
Brain goes SPROING. Actually, I am kidding. One of my best friends is a former trucker and he's to the left of ME.

I know a lot of former FReepers and some of them are really decent people. They're sort of like that guy in the college dorm in the 70s who played a lot of chess, smoked a lot of pot, but for some reason would argue that the Vietnam war was a just war. Not stupid, not vicious, just wrong.

If you want to see some reformed (sorta) freepers, check out www.freedom4um.com. There's an awful lot of back story there that will not make sense, but they hate Bush, DeLay, Wolfie and the rest just as much as we do. After that, YMMV, but I can get back to arguing tax cuts and shit once the nazis are gone. I even agree with conservatives on some things, and if the nutbars were banished, we could have a meaningful discussion about things like abortion and how to make it ever more rare. Same thing with guns. I have nothing against them per se; I am anti gun show, or rather gun show exemption. If you have ever been to a big one, which is likely if you're a southerner, most of the people there are just family types, but there is that element that is using them to cover for selling a truckload to gangs and shit. It doesn't take long to spot them if you are looking.

Anyway, keep up the good fight.

You're correct about real conservatives. These porcine beings in power are far from that.

to be expected, but for having to deal with their layout. I've been visiting web sites for many, many years now, using text based browsers, browsers on PDAs, even browsers on computers no one ever thinks about (Atari STs, for example) --- Even with all that experience, Free Republic still gives me a headache with its horrible layout.
