a tiny minority is still shilling for big pharma and other associated totalitarians.
I think the above pretty much says it all. 80%+ of the population of this former Republic are sheep who will cheer on public executions of their fellow citizens for not being "compliant" if the TV tells them to.
There has always been a core of totalitarians even here on FR. I recall being roundly criticized for not supporting the "Patriot" act.
There is something difficult for the many in these United States to consider, and that is liberty. One need not lock step to the Left and certainly should never lock step to the Right as if an appropriate response to the Left's lock step.
I don't assume that all who comment on these threads are actually conservatives who value liberty. Some are less than conservative by degree and others are, as Limbaugh used to call them, "seminar callers."
Best wishes.
