This whole "born on date" nonsense that so many FReepers take so seriously smacks of the tenure system of the leftist education racketeers. Seniority is also oh-so-important to union goons.
Bear in mind that Thad Cochran is about to be beaten by a "n00b" and that Dave Brat has a more recent "born on date" than RINO Eric Cantor. Of course, since he has seniority, by some standards Mitch McConnell is a far better man than Ted Cruz.
I've recently seen so FReepers from the "class of 1998" and "class of 1999" rightfully get the ZOT for advancing pro-abortion, pro-sodomy leftist talking points here on FR.
Can't deny that. But FR has a rich history, and even though I lurked for a few years, that history began a long time before I ever found the place. I think the ones who were around at the beginning & helped bring it all about deserve respect (unless they go nuts and invite the Viking Kitties).
