With VERY few exceptions (thanks to the people that were human and to people that wrote me privately) you people are a bunch of fundamentalist zealots. You aren't conservatives...you're fascists. You make me embarrassed to be a Republican.

[4mycountry]

Don't let the door hit your rump on the way out, sugar.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You have been an embarassment since you got here. I am not sorry to see you go.

[Rebelbase]

You are the self proclaimed social liberal, so I think you have to modify your statement that you consider yourself to be a "conservative".

I guess you got tired of defending your pro-abortion, "the man has no right until the baby is born" stance.

I really hope you stay in Great Britain. I think you will be much happier in a socialist country than in the USA, unless you choose Mass., NH or VT.

Return

I'm an American living overseas who is planning to return to the United States in 2004. I consider myself to be fairly independent-minded politically, but in the UK I'm considered conservative.

In a nutshell, I hate lazy people, broccoli, drug use, and people who won't mind their own business.

I love Mexican food, loud bluegrass and classical music, non-fiction books, and growing native Texas plants in my English garden...which never fails to annoy the neighbors.

A bit more...I speak four languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. I was born in Texas and raised in Dallas. I went to UT Austin and graduated in 1997 with a BA in French. I've always been interested in politics; my dad is a hardcore conservative and my grandmother (his mom) is a New Dealer Democrat, so family gatherings were always interesting and filled with arguments about politics, particularly during the Reagan and Clinton years. My politics fall in between my father's and my grandmother's. Socially, I suppose I'm pretty liberal...I like a strong separation between church and state, abortion doesn't bother me...neither do gay people. On some issues, though, I'm pretty conservative; I can't stand illegal immigration. As an immigrant I know how hard it is to fit into a new society but I'd never be arrogant enough to ask British taxpayers to subsidize my life here. I don't really like unions and I think being tough on crime is a GOOD thing. I don't like globalization because I see it tearing up the middle class in England and in the U.S., but you'll never see me marching on May Day or smashing up a McDonald's. I'm more likely to be inside the McDonald's ordering a Quarter Pounder with fries. I think vegetarians are crazy...beef IS what's for dinner...and though I'm not religious, I don't really care if other people are as long as they don't come to my door and try to drag me to church with them.

Basically, as long as people stay out of my business, I'll stay out of theirs. It's nobody's business what books I read, what shows I watch, what I like to eat for dinner, and what my spending habits are...as long as I'm not doing anything illegal, I should be left in peace to live my life. I think the government here is far too intrusive; the average British resident is filmed 300 times a day and now the government wants to introduce mandatory national ID cards.

I'm not big on guns...I've never owned a gun in my life and I don't see what the average citizen needs with an assault weapon...but I don't stay up nights worrying about it. Odds are, nobody's going to break down my door brandishing a weapon...in the U.S., anyway! I didn't worry about crime in the U.S. and was never a victim of it myself until I moved to the UK. Here, I have been assaulted in broad daylight in a city center and have had my house broken into, my car broken into and vandalized, and items stolen from the bike shed next to my house. A woman in my neighborhood was dragged from her home by her hair and forced (at gunpoint in a country where handguns were banned six years ago) to withdraw every penny in her bank accounts at two ATMs within a mile of my home. I think Britain is in a serious crisis and I cannot wait to return to the United States.

Why did I leave in the first place? Fair question, and one I can't give a simple answer to. I married a British man who couldn't face living in Texas, which is why we're looking at New England as our new home...kind of a compromise, but hey...you do silly things for love.

[new cruelty]

And you know this!

She be trolling and we be clubbin.

We ain't dumping. We just bumpin' and bangin' like it ain't nothing wrong. Get ya club on. FReepers show me love up in da club!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I remember that thread, she wasn't very deliberate and thoughtful in her postings and then rambled off into Feminazi Land.

But that was a little while ago. Was she fuming for that long??? Poor thing.

Someone should put her out of her misery and sign her into the nearest institution forthwith.

[handk]

Somebody ,somehow must have really PI$$ed her off!!!!

I called her a "foul-mouthed, low-class skank," so at the very least, I "helped" (I crack myself up).

[Pharmboy]

No--it's me! I did it...see post #48 above.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Young is one thing, but certifiably insane is another!

[cyborg]

Wow MIDOL lightning bolt for you sweetheart

[BCR #226]

I prefer "Right-wing, militant, machinegun toting, fanatical, hard core, liberals worst night mare in camo, bambi killing Republican." Personally.

Cheers,

Mike

[4mycountry]

Howdy, boys.

Glad to see Pedantic_Lady got the boot.

[international american]

I read with gret interest the whole exchange. I think that somehow, she took the attitude that you were picking on women, ad nauseum. However, a careful reading shows that the main consern was the left is driving men from higher education, and this is a certainty!
What the heck, bring her back, if for no other reason than to prove to this gal that everyone is welcome here. This is not the L.A. Times, after all. I have witnessed just about every political and religious persuasion here. We have libs middles, neos ultras libertarians and it makes for the best website I have ever encountered. Bring her back(sans the foul language, though) ;)
Best regards, IA

[cyborg]

LMAO... Isn't that the mad mayonnaise driver?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I think the profanity was part of the reason. To use a edited expletive once in awhile is fine, but she couldn't speak without cursing.

Maybe she has Tourette's?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Oh yes, she went to UT because University of Michigan accepted her, but it was so below her standards.

Check the list of Top Ten Universities, honey. Michigan is always one of the best.

[cyborg]

Wow I just walked home in knee deep snow. This is so hysterical...lol

[4mycountry]

Not sure if you got pinged to this, but if you did, come enjoy the ZOT anyway!

[MinuteGal]

"I'll stay out of other's peoples business as long as they stay out of mine".

She sure registered at the wrong place. We're into each other's business here at FR all the time, LOL.

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kippers.

[Rebelbase]

Oh yeah, I meant to tell you this yesterday: You should add "FEMINIST" to your profiles and resume's in the future....to be honest with yourself.

[Cultural Jihad]

My bet is she's been registered here at least twice before, and we'll be seeing her again at some point.
