No need to be overly cautious if you are conservative. Saying something dumb won't automatically get you zotted. The something dumb I refer to are things like the latest dem talking points. I jumped right into the mosh pit the moment I signed up. Was called a troll and newbie in my first few weeks here. I stood my ground and shot back.
Once I put up a really good rant about a guy that had been released by the Bush administration six months earlier. Somehow it just went under my radar. I'm sure a lot of people got a chuckle out of that.
Anyway, this being a conservative forum, well, we're all family here. There's a place at the table for you but if you want the mashed potatoes you better grab them on their way around.
Jump right in, you'll be fine.
You're still a newbie. You're stuck eating Ramen Noodles for at least two more years, and maybe after that we'll let you have some mashed potatoes.
And gravy? That'll take another year.
And don't even start to ask where the beef is. :^)
