The fact that this thread (and I've read most of it) survived is somewhat amazing.
FR used to(and still does) have some superb debaters. Pople would even often play devil's advocate just to make their points.
Increasingly, it has become a place where comments are often just single-liner stabs back at the opposition. Like kids cussing each other out in a high school restroom.
Hopefully, FR will survive and remain a place where people can honestly question and learn about conservative values.
But with the newfound popularity and the hits FR has made against MSM, you can bet there are powerful forces arrayed aginst us now.
I give rodguy911 the award for coolest under fire.

They don't seem to care about Bush really --- and I think if Bush were to reverse himself on the open borders issue, a couple would turn on him very fast. It doesn't seem to be Bush they're protecting ---- but Vicente Fox and his government.
