This is one dumbell that is happy to have found FreeRepublic. : )

You know, I bumped around different boards prior to landing at FR.... Newsmax had ( then ) a slew a racist idiots I didn't care for, EaglesUp! was fine, but vanished, thefiringline is mainly RKBA ( but within those limitations is a fine board I'd recommend to anyone ) and several others were nice, but too daggone small- I want my voice, when raised, to reach as many as possible.

Besides which, FR covers everything of interest to me- if it's important, it will eventually get covered here- and that's very helpful; otherwise I have to go to several different sites just to cover all the news I want to follow.

Also, as one FReeper put it, "Free Republic's what I always wanted- a newspaper I can talk back to!"
