I'm with you in spirit CIS. I think one can talk about race or nationality without being a racist, just as one could discuss, for example, Marx without being a Marxist.

I think the point of posting articles on FR is to gauge the opinion of a wide audience of people--to get all viewpoints. Excluding certain viewpoint, no matter how odious one may think them, begins to whittle down the purpose of the forum.

More and more I'm seeing a great deal of intolerance on threads posted here. There have always been ridiulous displays of ignorance and great willingness to indulge in personal attack and name-calling, but at least in the past you could express an intelligent opinion and not have five replies calling you a Buchananite, Buckleyite, Ne-con, dumb paleo, Bushie, etc etc. (sort of like "Trotskyite" "Counter-Revolutinary" "Splitter" etc etc). It's sad to see that the viwership of the website is being curtailed to only a few set of approved ideologies, whether this is deliberate or not.
