You know, I've been thinking about posting similar thoughts lately. It's almost as though FR has come full circle, and is back it's original inspiration. I feel as though a certain period of history is culminating, if I can be a little portentous. This is it--if there's any hope for preserving the USA that we love on this site in any recognizable form, it's this election. I think even if we win, we're talking about a REFOUNDING of the country, not a mere restoration. The moral character of the American people has changed too much for us to live under the current constitution. I don't know what form the new order will take, but we'll never see the USA that we know again if Hillary gets elected.
I've been an infrequent lurker and poster in recent years. I really felt burned by the Palin and Perry stuff in 2011-12. I ignored FR during the primary season this year.
It's weird--with Trump vs Hillary, it's almost like going back to 1997-98, when I first started lurking here, only now with the benefit of hindsight (My Goodness, the hours spent FR in those early years that I'll have to account for on judgement day--I hope they weren't mere idleness!). In any case, it's official. We HAVE to stop Hillary. Let's go take down a Clinton, shall we? For old times' sake? Who's with me?!
This is like 1980 all over again.
