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.

Flabbergasted..to say the least.
Nope. I live in the great red state [even though I wasn't saying that on Nov. 3] of Florida.
LOL
Welcome to Free Republic!
Absolutely, and when DG gets off probation - in 2016 - we'll be happy to accept him as a full-fledged member, just the same as someone who didn't have a mental breakdown in the mid-'70's.
:^)
Sadly, you're probably not the only one.
you're a little young there. but to post a private reply just click on private reply.
Welcome to FR!
LOL!
At the very least I'd end up dragged off into the cloning vats.
Good work, glad you saw the light.
Welcome, FRiend.
Welcome.... :-) That is, if you're for real!
We venture over to DU only when feeling extremely masochistic. < grin >
Welcome to Free Republic, Sean. How does a 13 year old make a donation to DU? Just curious.....
Given no one would know that unless he stated it, and that he has in a superfluous vanity post to draw attention to himself, he deserves whatever he gets.
Generally drawing attention to oneself with a vanity post shortly after joining is reason to be wary of a poster.
Hey, at least when I lived in NJ I had my father, grandfather, and uncle there to help me out. Now, it's just about..everybody. Don't worry about it, Jen, that's why we're here. :)
Wow, I wouldn't have guessed. You are very articulate for a 13 year old, which is a good sign that you are indeed conservative. ;^)

Mommy's credit card? Paper route money?
Welcome to FreeRepublic! It's a rough and tumble place, but there are great friendly places too.
Did you do an Opus at DU? Post a link to your last post there.
Um, it was a weird situation. I happened to be talking to the mods there and somehow I got a "honorary donation" so I got all the perks of donating without a dollar out of my pocket.
Sounds kinda like the libs' tax plan, eh? hehe.
