That is certainly food for thought Mr. Giant Gopher.
I've been on the computer all day and my eyes hurt. I'd like it if you stuck around as you are able to back-up your clearly-stated assertions. I won't be able to answer anything today, and i hope to babble very little tomorrow, but if you become a fixture here, I think people would rise to your challenges.
There are "conservatives" of varying stripes who do get a hearing here, it's true. Just no racism or homophobic bigotry, or blatant sexism. (You'll get preconceptions and habits attended to, as you'll find!)
I once posted on a conservative-US blog, and knowing that i was on somebody else's territory, (and that there was a no profanity rule), i behaved myeslf. Some of those guys had half a brain and i learned stuff that i didn't learn on commondreams.org, (like that Senator Roberty Byrd appears to be a barely-reconstructed klansman ).
