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.

I occasionally find myself in long discussions with a very liberal "friend" on mine on Facebook. We also happen to be neighbors in real life, and she friended me, so I think it would be in bad form to "unfriend" her.

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.

"2. Immaturity. I suspect many of them are college students, too dumb to know how the world works. And some are what I call the ‘gray ponytail crowd’. These are the truly sad ones – people in their mid 60’s with the emotional IQ of an 8 year old. They have lived for over half a century, yet still blame a nebulous group of bogeymen for all their troubles. And, quite frankly, they seem to have lived very unfulfilled lives."

So much this.

But let me make a suggestion to you, go back under a new name and astroturf. Much, much fun.

[lonster]

spent time over there myself when it first started about ten years ago. it hasn’t changed.

[cuban leaf]

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.

After 283 Posts at DU

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?

[liberalh8ter]

I think many of DU’s posters are paid Obama operatives.

“7. Idol worship.”

Reminds me of those “Day in the life of President Bush” threads. To our credit, all the idol worship WAS encapsulated in ONE daily thread.

[GOP Poet]

haha. Glad you did the research and not me :).

[skinkinthegrass]

keep walking/nothing here..but, even "tombstoned".. banned..
even in real death; they'll still vote 'rat/Marxist.

[stevio]

I always feel like I need a shower after I go there.

[copaliscrossing]

The GOP is going to take away stuff from ME!

I have an account over there but haven't went back for a while. It really is a DUmp and I apologize to the landfill operators.

One suggestion is to make sure you immediately get into a decontamination tent and if that isn't possible, take a regular shower with a heavy duty scrubber as the filth from these vermin is thick.

As far as your quote above in italics. This is what has really bothered me for some time now. I cannot see any way around the fact that when the Republicans push for cutting back "the goodies" that A LOT of voters receive, you will lose their vote.The Rats know this and exploit it DAILY via their lamestream media accomplices. You can shout from the rooftops that it is only a reduction in the increase and it will never get reported that way let alone understood by the sheeple.

I hate to be dire in my prediction but it seems to me that they "goodies" system will have to fail before any real change can happen. Then of course, the Rats and their lamestream media accomplices with summarily blame it on the Republicans. Take it to the bank.

Too bad you got squished on DU

But! Now that you’re probably going to be bored - pop in on some of your local newspaper sites article comment sections.

This is where middle-moderate-America hangs out to get their news and opinions - when they aren’t watching Colbert and Letterman....It’s relatively safe work-viewing sites that they glean their info from...In my area the sections are filled with progressive liberals and a few of us Conservatives commenting.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

283 posties? I have to ask, how many conversations with nadinebrezinsky? The DU hysterical expert on EVERYTHING! It’s amazing to watch her unravel when she makes other DUmpsters “dead” to her.
