The DU dummies are welcome to post on here and say whatever they like. Its too bad they don't extend us the same courtesy on THEIR website. It goes to show conservatives believe in the First Amendment and open robust debate and the other side doesn't. They usually don't hang around not cause they're banned or driven off but since they usually don't like losing. As long as the liberals talk to themselves they figure they've got it made.

Well actually I disagree. The first amendment is there to prevent the government from taking away free speech, but it doesn’t mean that forums like this have to let leftists come here and spew their drivel. Do you honestly think they come here for debate? They admitted to coming here and posting deceptive messages also known as subtle propaganda.

I go to DU from time to time when I'm in the mood to argue. I keep a civil tongue and have never had a problem -- and that's while I've been arguing a pretty strong conservative/libertarian line. I don't call it that, of course; I avoid labels. I also stick to issues and avoid the Bush-bashing, Clinton/Gore worshiping threads.

FR allows posters a much longer leash. DU bans quickly, but I think the main trigger is any use of bad language by someone who disagrees with the party line. That is ironic since they allow all sorts of potty-mouth stuff directed at conservatives, but it's a simple enough trap to avoid.

The biggest difference is that the information and sophistication levels are so much higher at FR, but you already knew that. DU has a scattering of competent liberal posters whom it is fun to engage, but the imbecility level is awfully high. Not that we don't have our clowns too, of course.
