Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

basically what happened from what i understand watching what they were up to is that the Obamabots and Obama’s campaign workers basically overtook DU and ran rough shot over anyone pro hillary and did not worship obama, it became an extension of Obama’s campaign and his mouthpiece.

As such everyone else left disgusted as dissent against Obama became forbidden.

Same thing happened over at The Daily Kos. It happened very quickly.

Life After People is an interstesting show.

I saw it, liked it so much I bought it. That is fascinating and very well done. I’ve seen it several times.

I’m going to have to add that show to my buy list...everytime it’s on the tube I end up missing it somehow.

[mojitojoe]

It’s really fascinating. I think you’ll like it.

[Las Vegas Ron]

It does look good, I’ve seen the previews but always seem to end up missing the show.

Story of my life! LOL

Thanks, guys.

The collectivist busybodies are getting under everybody’s skin. We let them get away with too much for too long.

Hitting the Reset button is gonna have more serious consequences this time, since the Busybodies are like a runaway train, at this point.

It could get ugly.

The few things I have noticed when looking at DU is that they are always angry, they use curse words as if it were a second language, they constantly insult one another and call each other trolls. As for core values, they are very much pro Palestinian, anti Israel, they despise the military and they hate any religion that isn’t Islam. They also believe in robbing Peter to pay Paulie.

Thanks TheOldLady, I'd have to hunt that up, and it's not mine (I stole it fair and square from another FReeper), but since we do need it:

And thanks Westbrook for #10. :')

• Blair book is 'love letter to Bush'

Democratic Underground... matters are worse, as their latest fund drive has come up short...

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks. That fits perfectly.

[TheOldLady]

You’re welcome. :-)

low points on FR have been when they did purges of people, e.g., those who were backing the ‘wrong’ Republican candidates in the primaries.
more room to discuss and disagree is better.

“I am starting to think that much more radical change is necessary.”

really? what ever do you mean by that?
