Someday, when I have some time, I plan to write a vanity piece entitled Why FreeRepublic Needs Liberals.
I don't mean the type you call disrupters (I don't think any more of their drive by rants than I do of conservatives who do that sort of thing on liberal sites) but rather some Liberal members of FreeRepublic who offer real liberal opinions.
It would be pretty dull around here if all you guys did was high five each other every time Hitlery rolls her eyes (see, I pay attention). You need a few liberals who can give a punch (and take one) every now and then. We liberals have to be somewhat respectful while here, this is after all your home and we need to rememeber that we're guests. I enjoy corresponding with Conservatives more than I do with Liberals. It helps me think out my positions and makes me consider things in ways that I normally wouldn't. Or maybe I'm just a political junkie (I do live in Wash DC!)....
You'll get a few flame trolls here too. Don't get me wrong. But the ratio of thoughtful, respectful hosts to flame trolls is a great deal higher on this site than on the left-wing hate sites, despite what the inhabitants of those sites have obviously been saying about us.
For some more long-term liberal inhabitants here, you can look up Bubbah Gump and dwbh. You're not alone. Then of course there are quite a few Libertarians, who are very liberal on social issues (but extremely conservative on fiscal issues). You'll find them sticking up for gay rights and abortion rights, but then they'll do an apparent 180 and call for the abolition of the income tax and the right of all citizens to own full-auto assault rifles.
