The FR home page states: "We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America".

Thanks for posting that. FR has always had some degree of Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally posts, but lately, hardly a thread goes by without someone wailing that all is lost. Whether they're trolls or merely naturally despondent, hand-wringing types is of little consequence. As a practical matter, they're indistinguishable.
