What Makes a FReeper a FReeper?

I often wondered what exactly makes a FReeper a FReeper? Is it the simple act of reading articles on FR? Do you have to post articles or replies? To call yourself a FReeper do you need to engage in effective activism like writing letters to politicians, getting out in the street to carry signs, or, is being a FReeper an attitude. If so, what attitude is that?

Knock yourself out.

Fair enough, as long as it doesn’t have “D” next to it it means we have a voice in the selection of SC judges...the real conservative legacy.

The ability to post a VANITY and get away with it because you’ve been here for so GD long! LOL!

Conservative first!

I will admit that I was rather extreme, but the Jacksonian RATs greased the slippery slope. I think that we are the first nation in history to fight a civil war over the relation of the components to the central, Roman History included.

I don't care about the two party system, I have been a Republican all my life and we have at least six parties.

Seniority has it’s priviliges...even on FR.

[Bob J]

Randy, how you been?

[Randy Larsen]

Growing grey hairs faster than losing weight! LOL! Nice topic, make ‘em THINK!

[Bob J]

Fair enough.

A FReeper knows when to use these pictures.

Ouch. Don’t make us lose our dinner all over our monitors...

"Independent, grass-roots conservatives on the web. Working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And always having fun doing it. Hoo-yah!"

You beat me to it!

And then there is this:

There was a time when thinking was a pre-requisite to a post. I’m not saying that isn’t the case now but a review of FR’s roots might make the place a more enjoyable and fruitful experience for all.

Sorry Bob!

Hey darlin’!

LOL. I'm with you on the "two-party" thing. The only purpose for Democrats is to show where you can end up if you aren't a Republican.

And with due respect, we did not fight a Civil War over federalism. It was about slavery, pure and simple. In any scenario, once you take slavery out of the question, all other issues (the tarrif, whatever) just disappear as "reasons" to fight. Slavery as CAPITAL accounted for more than all the RRs and textile mills in the north combined; slavery as capital constituted the single biggest "product" (not counting labor) in the nation in 1860. The five "richest" states, counting slaves as capital, were all slave; and 11 of the top 14 were slaves. That is the most basic pocketbook issue of all time.

Being logged in.

That would be high on the list right there.

[Randy Larsen]

Agreed! I wish some of the old “THINKERS” were still here to see some of the foolish crap that goes on.

Oh well, nice to talk with you “OLD TIMER”!

[Bob J]

Good answer.

A Freeper is a conservative VOLUNTEER.
