Frankly I was around Politics when there was a very loud conservative faction - a faction which got away with flamebait and bullshit on a routine basis while those of us on the left were slapped back when we'd respond. I think it's rather nice that issues can now be discussed without the left being baselessly accused of being unpatriotic, etc.
I'd love to see some real conservatives come in here and debate intelligently so that we can discuss issues. I would NOT like to see us return to neo-con parrots quoting everything W says as though it's the absolute truth.
