Everyone is welcome but don’t expect to find a warm reception if you support big government initiatives and social liberalism. This is a conservative forum as Jim has emphasized several times. I personally am not offended having posts from who ever wishes provided they are willing to take the flack. The only people who get banned are those who break the rules. I’ve did that myself more than once and had to take a day off.
I also have gained a lot of respect for Huckabee and think he would make a great Senator or Congressman from Arkansas. I did not care about his furloughs of criminals and his talk about building a bridge to the middle and the idea that the Reagan Revolution was dead (though I believe that was more his campaign manager). Romney I don’t care for because he represents the typical unprincipled politician and until he proves that his change from a social and fiscal liberal is nothing more than a sham then I’ll always be critical of him as I believe any conservative should be. I always judge politicians based upon their deeds first and their words second.
I could go on but the best way to contribute here is to post and be willing to be debated and sometimes derided just as you would in any forum. This is not an air conditioned room where the questions and comments are pre-approved. If you can take the heat this is a good place to come up with good ideas and also make some good friends.
Everyone takes flack sometimes. A part of being an adult and not a child is that you accept that as part of the world of grownups.
Well said, Maelstorm!
