Welcome to FR. Honestly, it is wiser to browse FR for a few days before jumping in and posting a thread. Don't let the teasing on this thread discourage you, if you are a serious conservative or just concerned about the way the US is going to hell. If you can't take a little ribbing, you won't survive well on FR or in the world.
As for a rating on a first attempt at a thread, you get a FAIL.
This is not like Twitter.
Most people on FR are very helpful and courteous , and would give you help and advice, were you to only ask.
