Well done. It sounds much like something I could have written and I know you must feel better to articulate it!
I do not have the time I used to for FR, but as to my thoughts like that... I suppose they are still building up!
I really appreciate that coming from you, considering I saw you around quite a bit back during my more active times... (I mean, come on, you’re only two days older than me here ;-) )
I personally just look forward to a time where, at the end of the day, folks can agree to disagree and still be conservatives. There’s a certain energy in the air when we do that and good things begin to happen, much to the chagrin of the left...
Here’s to hoping that those days are soon ahead of us!
