I am a veteran and an American. I am very patriotic and hate to see this great country go downhill just because of all the leftist America haters. Free Republic has been on the top of my browsing lists since 1998 although I seldom post anything. I love the witty commentary and photo’s regarding almost any issue and feel that most Freepers and I pretty much think the same. BTW, My beloved sister is long time Freeper “Allegra” who is in Iraq and has been for some time. My anti illegal and liberal rants can be found on http://bungeemonkey.blogspot.com/
