Typically on Free Republic people copy excerpts of interesting current articles that they think other FReepers should see. The other FReepers comment on those articles (discuss amongst yourselves). Occasionally someone has a brilliant original thought that is so awesome that it requires its own thread. These are called vanities.

Some vanities on Free Republic have changed the course of politics in our country. Most are just comments that should have been posted on another thread. For example, you should have found a thread about the 2012 presidential race (there are hundreds) and posted your view there. Instead you posted a vanity.

On top of that you posted a vanity as your very first foray on FR. You didn't even comment on other threads first. It's kind of like the new guy that no one really knows going to a wedding and groping the bride. The groomsmen will be escorting you out of the reception hall and into the alley now. They'll be back in a few minutes. You wont.

I’m not here to be a troll. I tried debating with the liberals at Salon and most of them are jerks so I came here.

Pan Yan meant “BROOMS”men ;-)

I’m beginning to suspect that Jim Thompson plants these threads so we the freepers can have some zot-fun.
