There is a Spectre Haunting the Internet...

Me!

I'm a veteran of a number of conservative forums, and ever since a bunch of Stormfront-types invaded the last one, I decided it was time to pull up stakes and seek fresh pastures.

Political profile: firmly in the Reagan/Thatcher tradition of conservatism. I was in my 20s in the '80s, and I look back on that decade--politically, not sartorially--as a lost Camelot I yearn to get back to.

I'm adequately and moderately libertarian in a good many of my tendencies, but full-on libertarians freak me out as anarchists by another name.

How did I become such a firm conservative?: well, if you had a brother who was a Marxist history professor who is married to a very homely radical feminist English professor, you wouldn't have to ask that question....

I look forward to interacting with you all, even the evil bastards, if there are any.

Hmm a Spectre, that will work, we had a sphincter once.

Welcome!

Internet political forums are chock-full of sphincters. Was one myself once or twice....

Welcome aboard - we have all varieties of sphincters around here from the full bore left of Jesse to the ones sitting at Kahn's right hand.

Just curious, is there a kind of informal connection between this forum and the DU?

Was this forum started by people that got themselves banned from the DU for not saying that Dubya was Satan's own son incarnated?

That's happened to me a couple of times, then I just got bored with those pussies.
