A neo-FReepers seems to be any of us who imagine that relevant history of any sort occurred after 1789 and ought to be noticed as we make decisions today. For example, if you or I would think the use of the military is a bad idea even after 12/7/41 or 9/11/01, and would prefer to issue “letters of marque and reprisal” to eccentrics in tri-cornered hats with hankies up their sleeves and wielding really BIG TIME weapons like privately owned sailing ships and sabres and daggers, then you would not be a “neo-FReeper” but would be a paleowhatever. If you would prefer to use against our nation’s enemies, the US Air Force, aircraft carriers, Navy fighters, and nuclear attack subs and boomers and to use them to kill our enemies efficiently and break their will and their things, then you would be what the paleowhatevers might call a “neo-FReeper.” It’s just another word for effective patriot.

You raise an interesting point which I might not have the time to pursue.

The Founders, the Paul supporters channel them.

Yet they raised a Navy, with Marines, which is with us to this day.

To fight Islamic nutballs.

Established a permanent base in Gibraltar if I recall.

Underlying the marque arguement is contemt for the military.

We have an enemy, send in Dog the bounty hunter.

Of course since we'll have no money for a militay after eliminating the income and social security taxes without a replacement, Dog is all we'll have left.

Apologies to Naval hero John Kerry, he'll be in France.
