Free Republic bills itself as a "loosely organized group of grassroots Americans who support the constitution and look for honesty, integrity and honor from those in government." Nice PR. Really, this staunchly conservative activist group's popularity and fondness for a good battle have turned quite a few heads on Capitol Hill. Active members, who call themselves FReepers, include Dr. Alan Keyes, Gary Aldrich, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Congressman Bob Barr and Matt Drudge. In its fifth year, the Free Republic has grown to over 60,000 members with chapters all over the country. The crux of their movement is Freerepublic.com, a massive forum-driven website where the pseudo-militant grassroots conservatives can convene to pontificate at the virtual podium on the devious workings of government and media.

Oh shoot. This weekend I had planned to buy some helium balloons for my 2-year old niece, continue a quilting project, make a chicken-pot pie, clean the place (always on the list, never completely done) and do some gardening out front. (I have already taken my cat to the vet.) Now that I learn that I am a psuedo-militant, I am going to have to completely revise my plans. Where do I put those boots?? (But, um, for the record, those ERT people do freak me out.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
