Regarding Democrats Underground and other such liberal cesspools

Free Republic | Novemeber 25, 2002 | Jim Robinson

It's no secret. They don't like you and they will ban you whenever they catch you posting to their forums. Who cares? We ban them anytime they register here. It's a fact. Very few people here are interested in reading the DU style spin and regurgitated propaganda.

Those of you who want to rattle their cages are welcome to it, but please do not drag any of their garbage back to FR and please do not bother posting vanities about your experiences with them. It's not wanted here and will be deleted.

Thanks,

Jim

Did anyone else notice the typo?? Novemeber 25, 2002

[Jim Robinson]

What typo? LOL

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving to you are yours too!

Parsy, you and TLB are unique in that you seem to actually enjoy playing in sewage. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! Good to see you, Bryan. Long time no see.

You will find many, many ex-Democrats here at FR.

My own voting record, for instance:

George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter
Walter Mondale !
Michael Dukakis!!
Ross Perot
Harry Browne
George W. Bush.

Notice a pattern here? : )

Most people get wiser as they get older and after years of hearing things that are not true (Republicans burn down Black Churches, poison the water and steal Grandma's Social Security checks) or watching the same old programs fail time and time again (we just need MORE money to fix these schools, cities, society) tend to naturally give more thought to the things that work and have worked in the past.

The tried...true...the conservative.

I hope that I have aged wisely and gracefully and just want to say ....WELCOME!

People here regularly accuse Bush of being too liberal or being wrong about the danger of Islam. Meanwhile, at DU, the most conservative person i've ever seen post was a McCain supporter.

Damn . . . I was hoping to convince a bunch of them that their Democratic Underground contributions should be sent to the following address:

FreeRepublic, LLC

PO BOX 9771

FRESNO, CA 93794

Gosh wouldn't be a great prank to actually convince some nasty dumbocrats to send money to. You would have to convince them that Free Republic was devoted to anti-Americanism, treason, Islamofascism, high taxes, a weak military, etc, ad nauseum.

Quite often, opinions/politics posted on FReepers are kind of like preaching to the choir. I enjoy a polite controversy now and then and learn from hearing different views. But then, anything a DUer might post here would only make me stronger in my own beliefs.

I recently visited DU and found two posters intelligently -- and politely -- presenting opposing political views. When the conservative poster was "tombstoned", I thought it a pity that DU is so intolerant.

I hope FReepers -- which I absolutely love! -- never becomes so narrow that all opposing views are banned.

(Besides, I love to see libs get trounced here on FReepers, 'cause FReepers do it best!)

[TLBSHOW]

Do they have a matching thread yet? LOL

[Bryan]

Hello, Arioch7. So you were at FreeDem? You just might remember me.

[Bryan]

I second that emotion. Happy Thanksgiving to the entire Robinson family and the rest of the staff at FR HQ.

[Bryan]

It's been quite an adventure, wrassling around on other message boards with people who simply hate George W. Bush. But you already knew that.

[BJungNan]

A good word to all. If I might add, it is best not to be disruptive in their forum. One of the pleasures of FR is that it is not pestered by posts from libs. I'm sure they don't want their board messed up with our posts either.

[Smedley]

o welcome, and do try to ignore the types that you are running away from that you will find here. I've been banned from DU twice and both times came as something of a surprise. Apparently, libertarians aren't tolerated much there.

I suspect that a lack of profanity combined with attempts to argue on the issues without resorting to inane sources of information, such as truthout.com, while using logic probably gave you away as a conservative. This sort of behavior will mark you as a dusruptor and "bully" at DU, as will making statements like "conservatives are not NAZIs".

Sorry to JimRob, but I enjoy playing with the DU'ers. They're a running joke at the office.

[Bryan]

Well, it appears that they started a mockery-and-ridicule thread over at DU almost immediately in response to this one. I won't post a link. Let it suffice to say that any degree of contempt anyone here may express for DU is well and truly earned.
