What is the Profile of a Typical Freeper?

self

[jstone78]

Profiling has become one of the hottest topics in America today. Marketing suveys, voter outreach, law enforcement, sociological studies, charity fundraising, and other activities, all rely on profiles of a certain part of the population.

For example, a profile of a typical member of the National Organization of Women: divorced, pro-choice, pro-lesbian, anti-Christian, shrill, and bitchy.

A typical Ralph Nader supporter: Tree-hugger, long-haired, unshaven, educated, recycles his trash, non-smoker, vegetarian, and highly unlikely to be a business owner given their views on "living wage".

What about a typical freeper? Let's see... Over 40, male, works for long hours, hates the IRS, pro-family, overweight, angry, Republican, owns a truck or SUV, patriotic, realist rather than idealist, home owner, married, has kids, loves talk-radio, active in his local community.

Any further suggestions?

Speaking for myself, dashingly handsome...and modest.

A Nader-Raider is "educated"? Hardly.

Well...I'm 29, a home owner, not Republican, in great physical shape, not married, no kids, devout Christian, IRS disliking, big government disliking and all around nice guy.

I am 24, don't own a truck/SUV, single, and not a home owner. :P Oh, and I am in great shape!

Don't forget Christian and multiple gun owner.

First and foremost, the typical FReeper is politically conservative.

9 1/2 out of 16 on your list applies to me.

Male is wrong. There are tons of very articulate gun toting, pickupdriving Freepers of the female gender.

[CholeraJoe]

That would have been my addition.

[mtbrandon49]

Actually I'm just 30.

How about over-40 female Army wife, hates the IRS, angry at times, Republican, no truck but a minivan (that HE drives) and a standard-transmission Saturn (that I drive), realist absolute, home owner, married, kids, loves talk radio.

[Do Be]

Loves freedom.

Yes....the tree starts to branch after that.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Sexually active beyond his physical capacity?

As someone said to me in freepmail yesterday:

You look pretty good for an old lady!!! ROTFL!

With the exception of angry(?) you nailed me. Well not exactly, only slightly overweight. I own a truck and SUV.
