For a Conservative, Life Is Sweet in Sugar Land, Tex. (Free Republic Mentioned!)

This is the home of Britton Stein, who describes George W. Bush as "a man, a man's man, a manly man," and Al Gore as "a ranting and raving little whiny baby."

Next he goes through a site called FreeRepublic.com, which calls itself "the premier conservative news forum," and then moves on to a site called sftt.org.

Good article, although it contains a hint of the "conservative Republicans are rednecks" condescension you typically get from the Post.

Does Mr. Stein post regularly here at Free Republic? Congrats to him! This is one very cool accomplishment, getting out his side of things behind enemy lines at the WaaaaaPost!

Yes, we're all under-educated and easily led! But we aren't easily led by the Posties? Wonder why that is?

Ahhh! I searched for this using keywords, but there weren't any in the original article!

D'oh!

I lived in Sugar Land for ten years. Nice place.

[Mr. Silverback]

Forty-nine years old, Stein is a husband, a father, a landscaper and a Republican. He lives in a house that has six guns in the closets and 21 crosses in the main hallway. His wife cuts his hair with electric clippers. His three daughters aren't embarrassed when he kisses them on their cheeks. He loves his family, hamburgers and his dog. He believes in God, prays daily and goes to church weekly. He has a jumbo smoker in his back yard and a 40-foot tree he has climbed to hang Christmas lights. He has a pickup truck that he has filled with water for the Fourth of July parade, driving splashing kids around a community where Boy Scouts plant American flags in the yards. His truck is a Chevy. His beer is Bud Light. His savior is Jesus Christ. His neighbors include Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), the House majority leader, who says of Sugar Land, "I think it is America."

I can so imagine the panic attack any liberal reading this would be having.

Rock on, Mr. Stein.
