Looking for Love on the Internet

No I’m not searching for mate, a lover or even a husband.  I am looking for an internet site that is devoted to honest and accurate political opinions.  Fourteen years ago I went on line after getting cable in my home and began to watch CSPAN.  I discovered many discussion forums where I had hoped to meet honest comments not this gang-like piling on of people who do not agree.  It was my first meeting with the religious right.

I was shocked at the lack of writing skills, spelling and grammatical errors used in the most hateful comments to anyone not believing that America is a Christian nation.  Having been involved in Republican elections since Ike, I never would have believed that such ignorance and emotional threats were found in what is known as the Social Conservatives. 

I see now that there is no group or membership who uses manners and debate instead of the wrath of hell coming from the posters.  I soon dropped my membership in the GOP but cannot find any group who is offended by the corruption.  I’m a bit of a hermit and would rather read than fight.  I have logged out of the various places where I have placed my opinions.  The under-handed way that people go from forum to forum using different names is game playing and I have discovered that it is common practice. 

My politics has always been for a limited government and individual freedoms that can be done only when dealing with citizens who know right from wrong.  This is the problem.  The reputation of America has slipped into some strange culture where anything goes including slander at its worst.  I have no reason to be a member of any political forums at this time.  It is so corrupt that there is no future hope for America.
