Maybe the relentless nastiness of conservatives are part of the reason why they are becoming irrelevant.
A normal person might say “I know with Obama in power this appears troubling, but I do think it is any thing to worry about.”
But a conservative will invariably be smug and nasty. It really is off - putting a big reason why the Tea Party collapsed.
I have been a member here since 2005 (with another name) and I used to contribute generously, but the just plain meanness and the attacks to get new people banned - I can see why conservatives are getting such a bad reputation.
