I don't know how many of you spend much time in the USENET groups, but...

There are a number of groups established for local political discussion, mn.politics, fl.politics, tx.politics, etc.

I've been banging around USENET for 15 years or so now, and in all that time, these groups were primarily hangouts where left-thinking people could sit around and congratulate each other on how left-thinking they were.

Back during Algore's attempt to steal the Presidency, I got pissed off, and starting posting some of the advocacy pieces I was reading in mn.politics, to help the leftist loons there understand just how serious a problem they were stirring up.

I've continued it, since, and a couple of interesting things have happened.

  1. Some of the leftists have abandoned the group.
  2. Some conservatives had started to appear and to join in the discussion.
  3. Some of the leftists have been driven to the edge of raging lunacy.

All of which are good things.

So what I'm suggesting is that some folks might consider doing something similar in the other local political groups.

If you don't mind pissing off leftist loons, that is.

Here is some virgin soil which needs tilling:

The fun part is to guess what grade they teach by how they think and write.

Usenet is a simple text (binary sometimes) newsgroup service much like the internet. Most ISPs give access to it. If you have Outlook on your PC for mail then you're probably halfway there.

Go to google.com and look at their "groups" section. They have Usenet access.

Some of the leftists have been driven to the edge of raging lunacy.

Considering where they were, doesn't that bring them closer to sanity?
