With you on that, deep cover for the better good of the general American population.

It's funny, because we all have liberal (ultra liberal?) friends, coworkers and family and if you stay away from certain topics, you can make it through some level of conversation. It is hard in today's environment, but you can get through to most of them at most levels. But being on DU and trying it out, this will be an interesting challenge/project.

You're serious, they ban folks for disagreeing too strongly? I mean trolls get ZOTted here, but I don't think they get 'thrown off' for disagreeing too strongly, do they? I've been on the site for about 9 months, a member for 3 of those.

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Yes, they do. If you read their rules for posting you find that the owner(s) of the website bluntly say that the forum is only for people who are liberals and who agree with the leftwing viewpoint. Anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda and posts his or her disagreement will be deprived of posting privileges.

I guess that's the result of the high minded "toleration" that the liberals are always bragging about.

It depends on what you're disagreeing about, and how you do it. For instance, I would say it is safe to say that the recount, or lawsuits, will never get JK in office as President, and that Democrats should spend their time on the next election. It would be risky, I think, to protest too strongly that GWB REALLY won.

You have to remember, the point is neither to blast them as they deserve, nor to try to win the argument. That would be impossible. The whole point, the only point that I can see, is to plant jsut that tiny seed that might actually bloom into a genuine thought on the part on one or two of them. Oh, and to make fools of them.
