I’ve been a lurker here since seeing the Freepers on TV while Al Gore was trying to steal the 2000 election. It is so refreshing to see my point of view expressed by so many on these boards. I have been a conservative all of my life. I just didn’t realize it until I got out of the Army, came back to Massachusetts and saw how liberal this place really is. I served 6 years in the 82d airborne division out of Ft Bragg NC. from 1990 - 1996.
