There comes a time where you have to step back and look at your allegiences objectively, and reconsider if old friends have become foes and if old enemies have become friends.
If you think that:
1) Bush and Ashcroft are the biggest threats to liberty since the Third Reich,
2) That the current administration sells out the American people to corporate interests,
3) That this administration is corrupt,
4) That the threat of terrorism is overstated and that the Democrats would be as good, or better, on the issue,
5) That we should not have gone into Iraq and our national interests were harmed by us doing so,
and
6) That these things are the most important considerations this coming election
Then you should think to yourself- when did I become a Democrat? You should think to yourself- why am I hanging around with a bunch of people on Free Republic who disagree with me on the most important issues? You should think to yourself- why am I not posting on DemocraticUnderground, where almost everyone agrees with you on points 1 through 6 (even if they disagree with you on taxes and the optimal size of government). Hell, the Democrats are moving away from gun control so that is one less impediment.
If you really feel the way you have been posting on this thread, make the jump- your mind already has.
