What Makes a FReeper a FReeper?
FR | 8-21-07 | Bob J

Posted on 08/21/2007 9:43:30 AM PDT by Bob J

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.

I don’t think I’m officially a FReeper yet. I keep waiting for the special certificate that proves I’m no longer a newbie.

A FReeper must have a sense of humor, true, but it must be based in truth and logic. Otherwise, we are no different than DU. We think. They emote.........

Okay. IMO a “freeper” is somebody who stays informed by reading Free Republic threads, including the original article plus informed replies which debunk, confirm, or otherwise “unspin” the article.

Everything else takes care of itself.

I don’t know, do you think it’s important?

Only one qualification to be a freeper - an instinctive, almost genetic response to make fun of Hillary’s cankles.

I do, therefore I am!

Do you think reading is enough or does that just make you an “initiate”? Should it include posting interesting articles and/or posting intelligent reponses?

You're a FReeper if your sister was bitten by a moose ;-)

Largely true, although I will say I have a healthy disrespect for some laws. As did our country’s Founders.

IMHO a Freeper is a lover of red wine, history, conservatism, and a bloody good laugh.

And to really earn the badge, he/she must have been banned at least once :-)

A freeper must have thick skin, and a self- deprecating sense of humour helps alot, IMO.

Most women say it’s my dashing good looks and witty charm, others have said my velvety singing voice, stylish dress and tap dancing...

I’m just not really sure.
