I do not want to purge anyone. I just want to know who I’m dealing with. It shouldn’t take 700 posts of back & forth to figure out that someone’s a RINO.

RINOs would still be welcome on FR, but they wouldn’t be able to hide the way they have been. Their effectiveness comes from their hiding.

Actually, I think we need to stop this "Balkanization of the GOP" -- as Michael Reagan aptly called it in a recent article.

You speak as if the Republican party is one giant monolithic belief system. No agrees with anyone about all things here. It’s a big tent and there’s a whole lot of hollerin’ going on inside. You ought to join up and get in the debate. The more the merrier I say.

I really wish everyone in this country could understand that tolerance and approbation are different things. The vast majority of Americans are very tolerant, as we must be if we wish to live together in peace. We don’t have to approve of each other, and any effort to force us to do so is wrong.

But seriously, how can you possibly align everyone and fit them nicely in a box. We will never all be able to agree on everything. You can't even do that within your own extended family. At least, I can't.
