I have heartburn of welcoming "former" R's into our "big tent." While I would welcome those who are true converts, I also am cynical enough to realize the damage they can do, the seeds of dark plans they can plant, and the disunity they can sow among us.

I am willing to suspend disbelief IF they do the hard work and do it sincerely. There has to be something more than just words. For now, tho, the words are a small salve.
