I remember when I came to this site in Febuary of last year. I found out how tough it is writing for conservatives. This is the truth. They are the toughest crowd to bring around. Once you do, you're in excellent shape. They'll go to the grave defending you. Being a conservative, I know this to be a fact.
After being flamed in my first day here, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Free Republic has some of the finest minds I'll ever know."
It's safer and more fun just to pretend to be a spelling/grammar nazi, and even more so when you can work in a couple of tortured puns to increase the readers' agony level.
