"Why in the world would anyone waster their time there?"
Scoping out DU and other leftnut websites is not a waste of time, especially now. You can use some of the comments these fools are spewing against them, In a purely political fashion, the more outlandish leftist statements of glee over Reagan's death will make for great campaign use when presented to the general public: THIS is what the Democrats are saying. THIS is what Kerry supporters believe.
When things get boring at FR (hardly ever) I go over to DU & watch the crazies. They actually believe that they are correct & it is so entertaining to read their posts. I know a few liberals but I never hear them talk like they do at DU even tho I am sure that is what they think or I should say feel.
This is why it makes a difference:
It is neccessary to see the hatefulness in people so you know what it takes to be responsible and unselfish to maintain freedom.
When people do not care about TRUTH and lose all respect for it, you have to know to what degree you have to fight to keep that freedom. Do not think that it can not all be lost to people who are selfish...because it can happen again...
Freedom is not free.
