Hi, my name is Sean Quinn. My original political philosophy was that of a moderate, then I creeped liberal, then joined DU. I had my fun there and became a donor (which I think's about to expire). I got a membership at FR, ORIGINALLY to just troll and to read as most DU folk do. After some serious post-election thinking and re-evaluating of my philosophy (a good issue for this is social security) I stopped going to DU. I started listening to 580 WDBO here in Orlando which advertises itself as "the conservative radio station". Thank the Lord, we don't get Air America here, so it's basically one of the few choices in talk radio. I heard Boortz (whom I love for his open-source talks as well as his political philosophy, yaay for linux) and then Hannity. The gentlemen I put down as a "rightie conservative" before now started to make some serious sense.
So, I say, HI. Though I have an account at DU of the same name, I won't be going back there. I'm pretty sure that I've found a home for me here at FR.
If you have any questions, comments, etc. please contact me on AIM at QuinnieDaPooh921 or of course, as always, post them below.
I'm a bit of a neocon, in the extent of taking it literally. I am a new conservative. I hope to once be known as a paleocon.
What I'd like to know is where to find a good guide or some hints for a newbie like myself. Is there a guide? What's Smoky Backroom and GOP Club for? Stuff like that. Thank you dearly.

Ping! For later, so I can flame you when I get home! J/K Dude. Hope you prove to be an asset to us!.
Welcome to FR,
Seems to me you need a website with one of these on the front door:
You're probably going to get a lot of flack given your admitted history on DU.
How you handle it will go a long way in how your welcome here goes.
Good luck and welcome to FR
Howdy!! Get ready for the rough (but loving) initiation!!
Go here, and read up. It's a great primer.

Yep, I've viewed, and I'll ping my friend on this one for giving me his profile.
[To ping is to add "usernames" to the 'To:' at the top of the reply box, right?]
We're gonna rough you up a bit to see if you are for real. I think you are, but we shall see...you wouldn't be the first troll to try this as well.
I think I've really found the ideology that suits me best.
I don't see how you can swing, philosophically speaking, from DU to FR in such a short time.
I'm curious as to what values or positions you held before that you no longer espouse, and what caused the change.
Feel free. I know I'm skating on thin ice already with the admitted history but I'll try to suit up to you all the best that I can. :D
LMAO! I know Red means business.
Well, the default position for most college grads does seem to be 'liberal wacko'. Then they get out into the real world...
Just curious, why did you wait so long (two months?) to introduce yourself?
Welcome To FRee Republic. There are many places around here to enjoy politics. However, there are also a lot of threads that have nothing to do with Politics. Just take a tour and lurk.
And if you're up to helping to amuse our Troops. Come visit us at the FReeper Canteen.
