So, I lurk on Free Republic quite a bit. Usually it's to read some of the outrageous comments some post here and some of it is to see what your opinions are on certain articles that also get posted elsewhere.
So, a little bit about myself. I'm in my 20s and of Hispanic origin. I was born in New York but moved to Florida when I was three years old. I'm what you guys would consider a "socialist". I don't consider myself a socialist, I'm a supporter of the free market economy except I favor strong government regulations.
While on many issues am probably to the left of the Democratic Party there is one issue I agree with the Republicans but it isn't an issue that would ever sway me to vote for the Republican Party. That issue is gun rights. I love guns and I believe the 2nd amendment is a fundamental right to the people of the United States. I don't believe in a ban on "assault" weapons or on accessories like there is on certain sized magazines. I also support the right for one to properly defend themselves with or without deadly force with your legally owned firearm.
However, on economic and social issues I side with the DNC. I'm probably to the left of the DNC on most issues.
So anyways, ask away.
Let us all embrace the “Shining Path” Comrade!
Actually I’m more likely to embrace the wisdom of Confessor Cromwell, Pastor of the Church of Atom in the Fallout 3 video game. for his ‘Good Book’ says...
“Here the thunder of his (Atom’s) voice, feel the power of his glow...And be divided.”
That way each of our molecules can form a trillion new universes! What? Makes as much sense as Communism so why not?
Here is the way comrade! The new way! Embrace our glorious future!

After reading your post it occurs to me that you are very sadly mistaken of what a ‘lefty’ is.
You’r views on guns and free market with government regulation are (surprise!) conservative.
Lefty’s want GOVERNMENT CONTROL of everything. If you are voting for demcrats, you are not oting for free market with strong regulations protecting buinsess, you are voting for government takeover.
Is that what you want? Because when the true lefty’s do take over you can kiss gun rigts away pretty quickly, and if you look at all the world hell-holes where true lefty’s have taken over you will see millions dead because of it (usually of starvation)
So think clearly about this issue before you vote democrat again. They DO NOT want free markets or gun rights
