Frankly the intitial promise of this forum gave me hope for far higher ideals.

I keep going back to the stated goals of the welcome on the main page.  Those are lofty and admirable goals.  I just don't see where FR is now serving those goals.

I don't care what party is in power.  Neither are perfect and should be taken to task when they are wrong.  Just because you win an election doesn't mean you have changed the tide.  Republicans have there faults, maybe fewer, but they are there.  To ignore them is not helpful.

I just wonder how many would be silent here on FR if it were democrats doing the very same thing.  Few would be my guess.

I just think the same yard stick should be used.

Like you, I only have one yardstick. I believe that to be the only rational approach to political life.

Let me ask you something. When you care about someone, do you hold them to a higher or lower standard? When raising my kids I didn't give a darn how other children turned out, mine were going to toe the line.

We have the President, House and Senate we want. Now we don't care what they do? Right? I can't believe it, but the anser is "yes" for some who call themselves Conservatives.

Immigration out of control from the middle-east? No problem. Immigration out of control on our southern border? No problem. Folks actually try to pass off that they believe this. I know they don't. They couldn't. But they can't be honest enough to admit we have a problem. What a sad time in America this may turn out to be if our opportunity to correct problems passes with no action taken.
