I do read this board less these days than I did then, so I’d be happy to be shown wrong. From within the last month: > [@Democrats and Farrakhan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/democrats-and-farrakhan/810237/86): > > The Republicans have completely abandoned fiscal conservatism, and their huge deficits are going to be a gigantic problem.
