Agree with both of you.
What has happened to FR? I would be inclined to blame it on trolls, but some of the anti-privacy, anti-Constitution crowd are long time posters.
Maybe everything has a shelf life and FR is past its expiration. Maybe most of the true conservatives have moved elsewhere? Maybe the Trump/Cruz wars have splintered us? idk
I dunno. I am just an old fashioned, garden variety rule of law type conservative. Some of the stuff I read here sounds like it was cut and paste from Slate. That’s my stance. Some don’t like it, I’m OK with that. It’s worked for a long time, see no reason to change it. I can tell you this though, there is a real determined core that wants to litigate Apple v FBI no matter what I try to talk about and evidently my opinion on the Constitution doesn’t matter because I am not a super secret code writer, just a guy who lives and earns a living on the web.
