[Mr. Silverback]

Did she leave Venezuela because of Chavez, or was she just here because of the opporunity America offers?

[GraceCoolidge]

So, I will now just refer to them as the Spineless Idiot Treehugger Party. And the members of that Party are Spineless Idiot Treehuggers. Sorry about the labels.

You might consider Spineless Hysterical Idiot Treehuggers. I think that works better... don't you???

[Argus]

it's a derogatory term for our Democratic Party.

Here's another one: The Party of Slavery, Secession and Surrender.

[mnehring]

Every day on my way to work, I pass window signs in a certain office that say: "Want a Change? Vote Democrat...

Reminds me of a local group 'Democrat United'.. Nice big sign right above their office...

[Grizzled Bear]

We can't call them "democrats." We can't call them "liberals."

Is "scum sucking commie weasels" still alright?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I had a horrible nightmare last night. I dreamed that I was in a hotel room with Petra Verkaik.

Was she Wearing the Bear...? ;)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Democratic Underground:Providing political satire and commentary for Democrats,

So they insult themselves on their own website.

What a queer bunch.

[PJ-Comix]

Did she leave Venezuela because of Chavez, or was she just here because of the opporunity America offers?

The latter. She is so non-political that I can't even get her to talk about Senor Hugo one way or the other. No problem. I get more than my fill of politics here. I have no need to be discussing it on the outside. That includes everybody else. Friends of mine who go to the DUmmie FUnnies are surprised that I am into politics since it is a subject that I never discuss with them.

"...my "liberal" acquaintances always correct me & say they are 'progressives'."

Call 'em "Progs" and see what happens...

[mylife]

They must have to up their meds everytime Rush says "democrat underground"

[Jaysun]

Poe-tay-toe, Puh-tah-toe
Dem-oh-crat party, Deem-oh-crot party,
Let's call the whole thing off.

[MaxMax]

I wish someone would listen and see how often the news media says Democratic rather than Democrat.

Not likely IMO. This must be the newest PC version used by the drive-by media.
Watching them correct themselves will have us all in tears by morning.

[Barset]

One of the truly weird customs in Dummieland is their reporting encounters with "freepers" and "fundies" and their disruption of family gatherings in order to intimidate people who might not share their political delusions.

They must have jobs, if they have jobs, where their opinions cannot affect how customers or clients or patients respond to being told they are idiots.

I have friends in Venezuela. I used to post on FR what I heard from them as far back as two years ago but it has become really insane down there.

Hope your wife's family will be okay.

...my "liberal" acquaintances always correct me & say they are "progressives".

You should agree with them on this point. "Liberal" is rooted in the word "liberty", and most "progressive" issues have nothing to do with liberty.

Speech codes (you can't say what you want). Gun control (you can't own a gun). Taxation (you can't keep what you make). Single-payer health care (you can't choose your own health care). Social Security (you can't use your own money to provide for your own retirement). Public education (you can't use your own money to provide for your child's education).

Nothing approaching "liberty" in any of that.

[Budge]

I was always taught that it is indeed the DEMOCRAT party.

So was I, many, many years ago...and by a democrat!

[bcsco]

You should agree with them on this point. "Liberal" is rooted in the word "liberty", and most "progressive" issues have nothing to do with liberty.

Some good points and worth taking note of for future conversations.

[Toadman]

From now on until they cease, I'll only refer to the GOP as the Republic Party.

Hmmmm, Republic Party... Has a nice ring. I'm strangely comfortable with it (sans RINOs).

[lesser_satan]

In my experience, people who call themselves "liberals" can be reasoned with, while the "progressives" are Bolshevist lunatics.
