I have noticed that ATS is more like WND every day.
Could you elaborate on this?

Look at threads that begins with any conservative premise, from the reasonable to the wild eyed whack jobs and they get the most stars. Spend a minute
scanning the topics and you'll see it.
There is much less discussion of conspiracies and a lot more political posturing.
I agree that it seems like ATS is being attacked so as to derail legitimate threads.
I also seem to notice that the "de-bunkers" on ATS get a lot of stars right off the bat and usually offer very little in the way of actual
information.
I personally think that TPTB are trying to associate true conservative beliefs with being mentally unstable, which is an atrocity. (see Glen Beck and
the entire Faux News staff)
Our government was founded as a Republic, but with certain Democratic aspects. Probably one of the most conservative presidents of all time was Thomas
Jefferson and he ran as a Democratic-Republican.
This takeover of our government has been several years in the making and during Jefferson's time trade with Europe was used to try and divide the
States. Trade with Europe, protectionism and tariffs are what started the Civil War, not slavery. (I mean do you really think that the government that
did what we did to the Native Americans gives a hoot about slavery?)
So in order to avoid Civil War, Jefferson just refused to allow trade with any other nation and he was re-elected. Jefferson was the ultimate
isolationist.
Every single person serving in DC has sold their soul and they all need to be impeached. We need a populist revolution, but it is still possible to
take our government back without resorting to violence. The tools are still left in our Constitution.
I just hope that it happens, because at this rate, it will eventually lead to violence if nothing is done.
