"It's sad, because FR once was a powerhouse."

I hope you get over your sadness soon. I'll clue you in. I have absolutely zero interest in running a "powerhouse" for liberalism. Those who wish to support abortion, gay rights, gun control, sanctuary cities for illegal aliens, etc, are free to create a powerhouse somewhere else. FR will fight on for God, country, family, Life and Liberty. Thankyouverymuch.

By the way, had the Republican party remained a conservative party, it could've been a powerhouse.

Oh, I’m not sad. Things have a way of working out.

As for your “clue,” it’s nothing more than more strawmen.

No one, and especially not me, ever wanted FR to become a “powerhouse” for liberalism.

But here’s a clue that is helpful: if FR wants to “fight on for God, country, family, Life and Liberty [sic],” petty purges to shut up FR’s most loyal members is not the way to go.

I would think one would have learned by now that it is the process of civil debate (argument) that actually helps each person clarify how they want to “fight on” and what they want to fight for. It even causes some people to change their political positions, as you did when you went from calling George W. Bush a “cokehead” and wondering if his family was involved in CIA-sponsored drug-running to being a major supporter of Bush’s candidacy.

It happens. Or do you think the power of ideas only changes your mind?
