There are paid opinion shapers from both sides on this forum. And both sides opinion shapers are being paid to post on this forum. That's why I've always been a little leary of the nome de plums allowed to identify who we are. But then I, like you, hide behind mine.
Well, I think if FR required "real names" in order to post, it wouldn't be a very popular place.
Since this is a conservative web site, IF conservatives are being paid to come here (and I hardly know why anyone would feel THAT need), then I don't have a problem with it because they are SUPPORTING the cause of the site itself.
It's the leftists who are paid to come here and stir dissent that I have a problem with.
Oh, and of course, the so-called Christians who attack anyone who supports abortion for women and girls who have been raped or if their lives are in danger.
There's no form of Christianity I know of that supports calling people fascists and evil because they hold a position that is supported by MY mainstream churches.
