This "conservative forum" has evolved into a Republican forum among other things. Things change and I think it may no longer reflect the views of the "pure" elite of conservative opinion. We are here, the impure so called conservatives, so I suggest we deal with one another. Unless of course, we want just discourse and no real accomplishment in influencing how this country is run. The country has changed, is changing everyday. How are we going to run it if we establish exclusionary rules.

This "conservative forum" has evolved into a Republican forum among other things.

I humbly disagree.

Yes, the Republican Party monitors the forum to guage the pulse of the ideologues on the right and yes, many Republican Party loyalist have come to the forum to shape it's collective opinion but no, it has not degenerated into a party organ.

Conservatives who fled to this forum from the Republican Party in the 90's, are substantially ideologues, who are by definition defiant of prevailing politcal mantras. Hence the recent frustration of many that their pragmatism is ignored in the face of all political logic.

Entropy reasons that the system changes, but the total energy of the system declines into chaos.
