I will be totally honest...and i'm pretty sure i speak for a few folks on FR....I think the conservative movement has lost it's way and i for one get depressed with too much news these days....i scan a few sites here and there and then get off and don't look for a few days...i'm getting older, life is short and a lot of people i know are unaware and really don't give a damn...i've worried and bloviated about this stuff to everyone i know and it just doesn't seem that Washington listens...i've written many letters and such...i will still keep informed but i'm not going to let it depress me anymore...there are many good things in my life that i need to focus on...sorry if that sounds selfish....just MHO.
I look around me and see many people who like to bitch about things, but can't answer basic questions about their federal government. They have no clue how good their life is, or who they owe that to, or what they should do to ensure it continues for future generations.
