Kinda ironic when you've been here 4 years and you're lecturing me on the purpose of FR!
I've been here a long, long time. This new tone is very different from just a little while ago.
Flames that use to be slapped down are now a regular occurence on every single political thread. The mob is being allowed to 'shout down' anyone who doesn't think like them.
That's what happens when you are dealing with people who value emotion over reason.
You're posting on a conservative website showing support for a quasi-liberal for the republican nomination...it doesn't get any more straight forward than that...sheesh...
