Been lurking for years, since the 2000 elections. I'm not a troll, DU'er or disruptor, just a newbie. I am however, an ARMY vet, once a WAC. Brought up on conservative values and John Wayne. Military service runs deep in my family. Do not have cable, this website is my main news source. Safe to say I am a Freeper addict and have fits without a daily fix. With all that's going on now, I find international Freepers especially informative. I didn't want to get caught behind the eight-ball when the balloon goes up. That's enough for now.
