"I can't believe this was actually posted."

I post many items (possibly 10% of all that I post) with which I don't personally agree, but I put them up for the discussion value. Same MO as when Rush Limbaugh (and also Sean Hannity and many others) invite or actively solicit liberal screamers onto their shows. It reveals what they ARE, and it gives conservatives "fodder" with which to develop good, educated counter arguments.

If all we ever posted on FR were items with which 99% of us agree, then it would be preaching to the choir. Opposition arguments (articles) sharpen our debating skills!

Thanks for your remarks. The grim scenario that you paint can indeed become the reality in America, if something effective is not done........and fairly soon.

I'm sorry for the poor choice of words. I think what I meant to say was written. It's a sad day when the Seattle Times agrees with our Republican President.
