What is a "freeper?"
I am seeing the word used very often. I don't know what it means.

1. A member of the right wing hate site FreeRepublic.com
generally freepers are emmasculated southernors who have moved from shooting tin cans on the fence to shooting off hate email on the net. Aggression reaffirms the memory of the manhood they lost in 1865.

6. Why do people have to always bash the South?
Huh?

I have southern blood. Grew up in New England, born to Southern parents, who are ardent Dems.

Bashing the South does notthing for gaining ground in the country.

16. HEY NOW!
I'm from Texas and I didn't vote for Bush and, in fact, I have not voted Republican EVER, in my life. We Southerners are not as ignorant, or as uninformed as some people think.
