I always know I’ve won an argument with a liberal when he/she drops the f-bomb on me.
It’s more like Dummies United over there.

Something I’ve always appreciated about the FR crowd is the general restraint from cheering the death or hardship of a Leftist icon, and the effort to keep the language here clean. It’s known as “class” and it’s something I’ve found utterly lacking on my trips to DU.
People who lead off their reply to a post with “That is so true” bug me. I am not sure why, but it does.
Although I never noticed it at the time, many of her retorts to my arguments are simply name-calling. She loves to call me a "Tea Partier" (which while I agree with much of their platform, I've never attended a rally or event); she loves to call me a "Bushie," (which, although I greatly respect and miss him more and more, I'm hardly an apologist for him); she always laments "Faux News," and still thinks I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, and has various and insulting names for those two. Lately, she's been calling me a "Romney-ite," whatever that means, and I've never made any reference to being a supporter.
I’ve picked up on the phrase “War on Women”. I ask them, “What is the War on Women?” When they start babbling on about not being able to get you to pay for their contraception, I tell them;
“That’s not war. People get killed in war. Do you want to know what’s killing 10’s of millions of women a year?
The natural balance of the sexes in live births is about 105 boys to 100 girls. By the time they get to reproductive age it’s about 100:100. But in China it’s 120:100 and in India it’s about 115:100 - the two most populous countries in the world. Why? Because the combination of ultrasound examinations and abortion are used to destroy female babies. 10’s of millions of girls are killed every year using abortion. Balance that against the few thousand - if that many - women who might have died at the hands of an illegal abortionist and you see that the true War on Women is being fought worldwide, and the #1 weapon is abortion.”
Reviewing your posting history you are too smart to be a democrat.
So much this.
But let me make a suggestion to you, go back under a new name and astroturf. Much, much fun.
That is so true.
Next time you see one of her posts, put your mouse over it and in the top right corner there will be a down arrow. Click it and select "Unsubscribe from X," which won't "unfriend" her, but will hide her updates from your news feed so you won't have to look at them. She won't know, and you'll be able to keep your sanity.
And don't forget to put one of these up next to your fall yard signs:
Lol!
spent time over there myself when it first started about ten years ago. it hasn’t changed.
Well, c’mon... he was begging for it, wasn’t he?
I kept trying to set up and use accounts over there but they were quickly banned. And in every case my primary MO was to ask questions. That’s right. I stated few opinions, and when I did, I would state them very gingerly. Things like, “is it possible that so-and-so is actually right? If so, how would that impact us? Stuff like that. Each one got banned for being contrarian.
That was about 3 years ago. I don’t even think about the site now unless someone posts about it. And one reason is your list. You are spot on. I just don’t take the site seriously.
A problem they will first try to unsuccessfully import/export (women/men) to Oceania, and when that doesn't work, civil war.
That only took 8 minutes.
I'm saddened when I see such a waste of 283 good posts.
They all know who Jim Robinson is
But do they know who Jim Thompson is?
I think many of DU’s posters are paid Obama operatives.
