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.
