Oh, my God - I could never come up with a definitive list. I like all 'o y'all!

Everyone made me feel at home when I joined last year; on those few occasions when I needed help or an ear to listen to, y'all were there.

I'm glad to be here, and I love you all.

All of these folks have done an excellent job seeking out and posting "Must Read" articles on conservatism. Not exactly controversial, and without the obvious appeal of "Barf Alerts", but well worth the effort. My favorite was posted by SJackson "Stupid Left, Satanic Left."

The canteen crew is great, and I enjoy butting heads with Common Tator and Sauropod. I recently had a month of illness (bad reaction to antibiotics)and missed all of January on Freerepublic. I hope Tator is well and has the energy to devote to debate.

The best part about Freerepublic is an opportunity to exchange ideas with all kinds of people who understand that we live in a constitutional republic, and who are willing to take the time to READ!!! Between posting pictures of Ann Coulter.

We Freerepublic gals are going to need to find some conservative beefcake for equal time. Here is my nomination...George P. Bush.
