So hey tell me, what are the Aussie "backwash" like?

...dkos just pointed out a poll (front paged):

MORE than half of all Australians believe George W. Bush is the worst president in American history, a new poll shows. The Galaxy poll, commissioned by the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW), found 52 per cent of Australians believed Mr Bush was the United States' worst-ever president.

Just 32 per cent said he was not, while the remainder were undecided.

So that got me wondering what the Australian version of a freeper was like, not that all those 32% were freepers, some were probably history buffs that already had chosen a least favorite American President.

We have our own special brand of them here in Massachusetts, where they are a small minority. Somewhat more subdued than elsewhere, stronger libertarian bent for the most part, and it's obvious they read Drudge and listen to our local version of Rush but they seem to slink of to unknown corners to do so.

1. We have quite a number of people who actually believe that to be

successful in life, you must do as you are told by the "authorities".
These people tend to be conservatives.

What was your question again?

2. I was just wondering what they were like in person. n/t

3. Just like the rest of us.........

.....but with crazy ideas.

But seriously, in my experience conservatives come in as many flavours as the rest of the community. It's not really easy to characterise them.......or us.
