Reply #57: I took my "hard left turn"

in 2005. I once swore to defend our constitution with my life too. Here your patriotism does not get questioned.
one thing that divides the parties harshly is the dispute over weather or not health care is a right or not. here we do what built America. sometimes we have original ideas. most times we borrow Ideas from the rest of the world and make them better. We evolve and are open to everything. The world views health care as a right so do WE.
... be prepared to have your logic questioned. not that you are crazy or that it is flawed. but for greater understanding, communication and to solidify your position/opinion.
you mentioned why you left the gop... this Questioning of logic and tolerance of ideas is what is completely different here than freerepublic or the GOP in general. so it may be a culture shock to you.
