Well, you could be right, and we do have to be careful, with the intensity of the dem bunch trying to deflect attention elsewhere.

That said, I just sent an email to my son, encouraging him to sign on to FreeRepublic. He is absolutely conservative, and is about fed up with it all. He is retired AF Security Police, served in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Andrews AF Base (when GHWB was vice-pres) and now provides security for special situations in the DC area.

It might really insult him if someone thought he might be a plant.....
