For such a newbie you have interesting posts...

First your odd one here, would you mind clarifying whatever point you have about camera crews showing at homicide bombings and 9/11 deaths seeming "sanitized"?

You also seem to have a history of defending Kerry's history of bravery with the "3 purple hearts"...

And you dislike Rush and are irritated when people defend him...

None of those by themselves are room for question, really, but taken together it makes me wonder how you found Free Republic?

I love Free Republic. Have for years. I'm a conservative, too.

I'm also an unafraid realist. This means that when someone mentions Senator Kerry in the same breath as "communist," I must point out that he is the only viable democratic candidate for president that has actually killed communists.

This impulse also alerts me to the fact that Rush has, for years, attacked movie stars and pro athletes for drug abuse, and, well you know...

I love my fellow Freepers, but some of y'all need to remove the blinders.
