I have to say, I miss UsTwo's contributions, as well. And being a refugee of a sort from another political forum, I think the conservatives I have seen here are top drawer. It's nice to be able to talk about politics without being called horrible names. To talk to people who can put forth a strong viewpoint without resorting to base knee-jerk reactions and radical misrepresentations. From both the left and the right points of view. There are a few people here who I know know what I'm talking about as they were fellow members with me there. Not that everyone was that way, not at all, but there were some pretty nasty, ugly-minded people there. I don't feel like I've fully engaged myself on this forum thus far, but I'm looking forward to when it picks up a little again.
