Gives you the forum for the ultimate zinger.
First Amendment rocks.
If she is conservative, why would she NOT open an account on Free Republic? What’s not to like? Where is she going to find a more intelligent, well informed gaggle of “conspiracy theorists”? Maybe we can find a tinfoil hat to fit her.
Tell her no girls are allowed. She probably isn’t smart enough. We don’t want her here! (the old reverse psychology trick:)
To your sister-in-law:
A couple of my friends are longtime Freepers, although they haven’t posted in quite a while because of life & time constraints. I got curious, and I lurked here for three years before signing up to post a year ago. It’s like having a home among like-minded folks. Freeper humor is the best, and it’s a kick to scroll down a thread, knowing someone will have voiced exactly what’s on your mind.
Lurking is fun, but getting involved is even better.
Noobies are always treated with the utmost respect. Their opinions are highly valued unless they are just wrong of course .
So she can celebrate on election night with like minded cyber buddies. (I lurked for years and years.)
As long as she considers thoughtfully everything she says before she posts, there should be no problem. I had similar concerns when I was considering moving from lurk status. I have found it to be a joy to communicate with the special folks who gather here.
Cuz I'M here! Case closed! :)
If you've got a need for information, and you value fact over BS...FR is the place to find it.

Let me count the ways...tell her she can kick butt and take names. Would that work for her.
My wife won’t do it either but will post under my name.
As long as she never says one negative thing about Romney the “So, Your gonna vote for Obama?!” crowd will leave her alone.
If shes worried about the guys hitting on her tell her to pick a screen name that won’t give her gender away.
Be true to your conservative values and laugh at the posters who attack you if there are any.
Shes welcome to join is when Romney wins and we take the senate..
But, FR will probably crash and we’ll have to use facebook or yahoo groups.
why would you pass up a once in a lifetime chance to have the name “beaversmom’s sister-in-law” ?
You are so lucky to have a conservative sister in law.
I’m not much at convincing others, but I’d ask her if she has any opinions she’d like to sneer at...
Oh come all ye faithful.. SMIRK
Fresh fish, newbee, whahooooo.. We will sharpen our knives and tongues.. Bring her on.. Yes sirreee..
We can pick her first post apart, jump on her spelling, make fun of her name.. Yep
Wait.. does she have any good recipes??.. :)
When she’s ready, she will. A fine wine must not be uncorked (decorked?) before its time.
She can’t post a snarky reply if she is only a lurker, only members can. I lurked for months too. But finally gave in. My hesitation was because
I couldn’t think of a screen name.
Because you can make real friends with some of the finest people you've ever met in this life, and become part of a community like no other.
That's been one of the greatest benefits to being a member here, and one which I had no idea would occur, until after I'd joined.
