Conservatives are not typically welcomed in high tech geek circles. That field is populated by Liberal wonks from end to end. Even on those rare occasions when the people in that field talk up a conservative point, it is always shrouded by a thinly-veiled hatred of America.

Hell, you should see the crap that flies around computer and network security lists. The whole flawed electronic voting situation with Diebold is being blamed on the Republicans in general or George W. Bush in specific. I called some people on their obvious partisanship and they essentially had their period in public because I (get this) questioned their patriotism.

So don't be so suprised that politics.slashdot.org is a watering hole for Leftists and Bush bashers. That's as natural as little green apples.

Must be the location. My co-workers are conservative to a-political/moderate. No flaming libs I know of. And I work for a software/ASP firm.
