Hey there, M!

Looks like you’ve been here longer than I have!

Happy New Year to another member of the prestigious Class of ‘98!

Started lurking in July. Heard about Free public and the Drudge Report from the Jim Quinn show. Drudge used to have a link to Free Republic back in those days. I had just bought my first computer at the end of June.

The reason I didn't sign up sooner was that Free Republic was inferred to be a radical anti government site, and that if you joined, you would be flagged by the government as a radical.

I examined my philosophy and decided that "Yes, I am anti government in it's present form" and signed up.

This government is still anti American and I am still anti government in it's present form. Looks like I will still be here a bit longer.

Happy New Year!

PS. Wal Mart got ammo and there are no crowds.
