I know exactly what he means. There’s a lot of interesting articles posted here, but much of the time it’s impossible to have a mature conversation. Most of the time, people here don’t bother to refute an idea. They simply post some snarky comment which they think makes them look clever. They do not expend the effort to show why they are right. As with many liberals, they simply trash those with whom they disagree. This hurts the site and makes the people posting this stuff look rude, lazy, and basically uninformed. This does not help the conservative cause. At times this has been so bad that I have wondered if these people aren’t liberals pretending to be conservatives and trying to make conservatives look bigoted and dumb.

This thread is a perfect example of the point that you are making.

So where do you go for the grown-up, well-mannered, but still ardent, focused, and fired up crowd? I there still a “Heart of Texas” group I could join? 162 posted on December 14, 2013 1:38:26 PM CST by PapaNew

We disbanded the HOT chapter but it was a great bunch. And we FReeped the left in Austin many times.

So I would like to come HERE at FR for the grown-up, well-mannered, but still ardent, focused, and fired up crowd?

I wish we could do the research and get together with the strongest candidate but I'm ALL FOR voting for all other candidates and leave Cornyn in the dust.
