I doubt that you really want an empty, meaningless exchange among posters whose primary purpose is to see who can make the most henious and pejorative remarks, scream the loudest about how much he/she hates the left and the Democrats, or who can raise the most vociferous articulation of the evil that lurks across the aisle and in the country's majority party.
FR applaudes itself as a forum for the exchange of such wisdom as the posters may possess or wish the share and as a place where the issues de jour can be explored and dissected while being subjected to a high degree of critical analysis.
To be sure, that elevated goal was within reach a couple of years ago but somehow slipped away. Unfortunately the level of insight and applied knowledgeable exploration has too often devolved into a dark cheering section that places greater value on strict adherence to the harshest, most pejorative expression of devotion to whatever rational is this week's explanation of fault, failure or weakness. It's the same sort of ill-conceived loyalty and unwillingness to point out our own defects that brought down armies in history that refused to change to correct their faults, governments that ignored the realities and hewed only to their most fervent wishes, and the defeat of nations, like WW II Germany, whose General Staff was either too fearful of the boss to tell him the truth or too secure in their comfortable position to risk demotion (or worse).
Your purpose is a worthy one which I support. But to castigate those who disagree with your every wish, whim and opinion is contrary to your expressed goal. Regretably, I suggest that such a policy is a gilded invitation to obscurity and irrelevancy.
My best to you...........Middie
