I will tell you that ignoring the grouches and taking part is worth it...There is strength in community..We are not all alike..There are libertarians, Buchananites,Constitution Party members and mostly Republicans..Sometimes we mostly pull together..sometimes it's a food fight!
I like to think of us as a big family at a Thanksgiving dinner, and we've all had something to drink. Its not always pretty but in the end, its still family!
