For starters, I'm an atheist. I also believe that a person has a right to death with dignity, I distinguish the free choice of a sentient person from the indiscriminate taking of life from an innocent preborn person who has no voice in the matter. I also don't give a hoot if Adam and Steve down the block want to play "married", and have a piece of government-issued paper that says so. But beyond that, most Freepers and fellow conservatives would find me a decent guy to get along with.
What's the value in keeping me around? Well, being as I'm not overly influenced by some of the factors that most Freepers have been affected by, I can offer a fresh perspective on things, while still remaining respectful to people I might personally disagree with. Over on the Carrie P threads, I've cautioned people to not embrace this particular spokesbabe too tightly, and on the political threads, I've advised people not to PO the Mormons more than is inevitable.
Disagree with me if you like, but I think I make some points that it behooves Freepers to consider every once in awhile.
I am pointing out to true Obama supporters, socialists, and left wing liberals. This population is extremely tiny on FR but they exist among us and cause some disturbance that we really do not need.
