I am new to the forum, thanks for having me.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
I'm new. Tell me about this place.
Generally very decent sincere folks, Wind Song.
Some very sweet people, some not so much.
Mostly conservative. Hard headed right republicans, tea party-ish
Lots of military assoc folks, many retired.
a few left leaning regulars run the gantlet from time to time.
A few Christians of various strips, an atheist or 2 and some "spiritual" folks.
I think i'm the resident semi libertarian christian reality nut.
Welcome and Peace

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
Is this your usual welcome to newcomers? I just got here. I haven't "crapped" on anyone.
Actually no. However when seems you are drawn to the religious threads, make a point of saying in your intro 'you're not Christian,' but fail to say what you are. Atheist or whatever is fine, it seems a bit of a personal issue and seems only right to establish where you are coming from.
