Take it as you will. I have read the posts here without signing up a lot longer than I've been posting here, and new folks whose very first post is so controversial just stick out like a sore thumb. I know where most of the third rails are on FreeRepublic, and do my best to steer clear of them. Conversely, my nickname for those who don't is "extra crispy."
I say this dude's post passes conservative muster.
