Liberals argue emotionally driven ideas rationally.

Conservatives argue rational ideas emotionally.

Could you clarify this a little? It sounds like you're saying conservatives use emotion to argue rational ideas, which I don't think is true. But I think I might be misunderstanding you.

Welcome.

Go back and tell your buddies over at DU that people discuss alot of interesting things over here, besides politics.

Like technology, culture, music, art, philosophy, religion....etc...etc.

Welcome to the Free Republic.

Claiming to be a DUmber in your first post might not necessarily be the wisest decision you made today.

>>> This is my first post on FR.

Hope it is not your last.

If i were you, I would recommend lurking about for a while to get the feel of this forum. This is not DU teeball, this is the major league.

Another helpful tip is to read about 1,000 words here for every one you post.

Well, since your not returning posts you'll be labeled as a troll....P.S. Braking=Breaking....just for the record.

Nicho,

Welcome to FR. You seem sincere so I will be respectfull in my response. Let me start by saying I appreciate your sentiments. However, there is a protocol you have violated here, and a newbei wouldn't know about it.

That is, this is sort a reverse of most internet sites of this type. Other sites seem to have the unwritten rule that a person who just cuts and pastes articles to create threads is a hack, but appreciate threads that start with someone just giving a two or three sentence opinion. At Free Republic, the opposite is true. This is mainly an information clearing house. You are encouraged to post articles you find interesting, and discouraged from starting a thread with simply your own unsupported opinion.

It is called a "vanity" and is generally looked down upon. The main exception is if you have been a member for a while and have the ability and ambition to create a "vanity" that seems to look quite a bit reasonable as an op-ed piece.

Just letting you know why people are getting a little rude right out of the gate. But don't let them stop you from posting replies and posting interesting articles.

Nahh....I'm just punchy from the troll thread from this morning. I'll be back to my usual grumpy self shortly.

At DU, you don't have to pretend. Why would you want to?......

I see you followed the #1 Rule!

Posting a vanity upon signing up. Woo-Hoo Look at me!

You only get 1/2 credit due to not posting your vanity under Braking News!

Guess Nicho decided he really didn't have the balls to play with the big boys.
