Under the rules of eminent domain, we have swiped that image ;-}

Thanks

[EggsAckley]

Welcome.
I see that you know that you WILL be watched, but your candor is refreshing. I'm hoping that you are being sincere; we welcome genuine converts here.

[Darksheare]

LOL!

You wouldn't happen to have an image of the oft whispered of Labs of the Mods, would you?

[Argus]

If Saul of Tarsus could experience a lightning conversion, there's hope for everybody.

[dirtboy]

You wouldn't happen to have an image of the oft whispered of Labs of the Mods, would you?

If he showed it to you, he'd have to ban you.

[rwfromkansas]

Well, I believe you.

But, I am curious what caused you to change your position almost overnight.

Welcome to FR, however.

[Momaw Nadon]

Welcome to Free Republic!

By the way, what is your age?

[gov_bean_ counter]

I don't see how you can swing, philosophically speaking, from DU to FR in such a short time.

A political Damascus Road experience. Sometimes the truth just socks you right between the eyes.

daNurse, get me the file on Quinn, Sean, DU tro- thank you.

Hmmmmmm.... hmmmmmm.... please take a seat so I can have a look.... don't mind the leather straps. We use them to be sure people don't bite....

Hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmm....

Oooookay. Your teeth are fine. There's a few pink spots that I'm concerned about. And you need to double the time you spend flossing. Please stop by in a few weeks for a follow up. Nurse, release the leather straps after you've gone thru Mr Quinns wallet and gotten insurance info and any loose bills you might find.

Welcome to Free Republic.

[SeanQuinn]

Overnight? Nah. It took some reflection during the whole month of November after the second. I went up into NJ for the holidays and turned on Hannity and it was actually quite refreshing. I listened more and learned more and hey, now I agree. :)

[SeanQuinn]

I could not have said it any better.

[Dog Gone]

Well, if you wanted to raise eyebrows as to whether you're legit or not, your post couldn't have been more successful.

Time will tell.

However, as the most honored and revered poster here, (SHUT UP,THE REST OF YOU!) I can tell you that I was once a candidate to a delegate for Governor "Moonbeam" Brown from California to the 1976 Democrat convention.

There is such a thing as redemption.

[WestCoastGal]

You have made a good decision. Welcome

Take today for example:

Barbara Boxer or Condi Rice.

One is a DUmmie (aka idiot) and one is a great woman with high moral values. (and smart too)

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[afnamvet]

Viking Kitty Squadron standing by!

[mdittmar]

I think I've really found the ideology that suits me best.

"government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."

[SeanQuinn]

My age is something I really don't like to admit, but by request I shall. Now, with the following annoucement I see a flame war coming bigger than the great San Fran fire in the early 1900s. I'm 13 years of age. *boom, mushroom cloud floats through the sky.* Now, by COPPA, I'm legal to view anything I damn well please on the internet except for adult material (which I keep my boundries from, thank you very much.) Hold on. Before I get twenty trillion responses, lemme explain. I've always been called articulate for my age and the puberty made this decision for me. Nah. If it was the puberty or I was too young, etc. I wouldn't have made this post. If I can be treated like I'm an adult, then we're in business. If my opinion gets trashed because "I'm too young", realize I'll be voting in 5 years for the next gubernatorial and next-after-next Presidential elections. Quoting the great Winston Churchill who said, "He who is not liberal by the age of 18 has no heart. He who is not conservative by the age of 30 has no brain." Let's put it this way..a good movie for me would be 13 Going on 30.

"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?"

There are several guides and here are a few you may find useful.

Are you an eskimo?

[SeanQuinn]

If there's a way I can talk to you privately, I can prove to you I'm not a DU troll. Go ahead and get the ZOT crew out (I've been explained what ZOT means, too.)

As the old parable goes,

"Fool me once [you darn leftists], shame on you."
"Fool me twice [you Frenchies], shame on me."
