Guys, try not to be too hard on the new guy. Looking back, it wasn't really that long ago that I was a conservative with an uneasy feeling about the direction of the republican party. I'm glad I found GIM and later GSUS to help me discover why I was uneasy. The republicans do (did) a great job of selling themselves as the small government party to people who don't know any better, so it's hard to blame a sheep who has never heard the truth. The best thing to do is be friendly and educate them. I know when a person is awake, it's frustrating to see all the sheep and tempting to lash out at them instead of educate them. I'm not saying that anybody in this thread is doing that, but it is the general direction these things go. Like Awoke said, time will tell if the new guy is an old agent or really looking for knowledge. In the mean time, we can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
