Thanks. BTW, I new to this--getting a bunch of replies all at once. This is going to take some getting used to!
Why would this forum be any different than the ones you are used too??
"I was a regular contributor to the Kerry Online Forum and am now a regular contributor to the Common Ground Common Sense forum."
As long as you reply, the powers that be will be disposed to tolerate you.
I think you need to reconsider the fact that you are a liberal.
It is possible that you are a Democrat but not a liberal.
The first rule of liberalism is you will not listen to another opinion without yelling or name calling.
Having an open mind means you were insufficiently indoctrinated, or you have not been exposed to a balanced enough education to make up your own mind.
You mean as oppsed to being told to $%#% off and get back to FR when we post something on DU?
