Ya Know... I Am Glad We Are... "Underground" Once Again... At Our Best..

[WillyT]

We do so much better without the lackey butt-kissing shit.

[femmocrat]

1. ??? :shrug:

Care to elaborate?

[WillyT]

2. No...

[femmocrat]

3. OK!

NP!

[annabanana]

4. joint IS jumpin' .. . . .n/t

[el_bryanto]

5. Well lackeys do like having their butt kissed nt

[Buzz Clik]

6. It's the only thing DU does well. We have no idea how to behave when our party is in power.

[canoeist52]

9. For a party that's "in power" we seem to have an awfully hard time getting democrat policies passed.

[Buzz Clik]

10. Ok.

See what I mean?

[patrice]

31. +1

[arely staircase]

19. ic

democratIC

[canoeist52]

22. I know that.

("Tic" was in my brain but not my fingers - tried to change it but it wouldn't change in the title)

[Sheepshank]

29. yah...makes all sortso of sense.

..no, really it does.

[tblue37]

34. Maybe your title is too long, so it won't add the extra 2 letters. nt

[yurbud]

32. we should behave like Republicans when our elected reps and president enact Republican policies?

So democracy is only a football game, where you root for a party solely because it's your party, not because of any particular set of policies or guiding principles?

[usGovOwesUs3Trillion]

7. agreed! especially seeing a poll with an overwhelming majority of DUers supporting the

WHISTLE BLOWERS, too

[In_The_Wind]

16. +1

[MrSlayer]

8. Some people are still operating under the delusion.

That our Reaganite President and administration is not just that. That merely being better than McCain or Romney is as good as it can be. And that somehow all the things we hated under the Chimp are now ok because "our" guy is in there.

But with this idiotic Syria war bullshit and spying crap going on recently we're rediscovering ourselves. For whatever that's worth.

[Skittles]

26. self-delete

don't want to have them get the vapors

[BlueJazz]

11. Our plan is working perfectly

[G_j]

12. can I rephrase that!

Ya Know... I Am Glad We Are... "Underground" Once Again... At Our Best..

We do so much better when we can state strong Democratic principles without having to challenge "our president" about them.

[rhett o rick]

13. Sadly we have some authoritarians trying desperately to shut us down and turn DU into

the Barack Obama Group.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. You must have that derangement syndrome they speak off.

I know I got bitten with a rebel streak a long time ago...so to them...

[bvar22]

15. Right with ya, Willie.

Right with ya!

[Caretha]

17. I Grok ya Willie

we've needed a breath of fresh air around this joint for a long time now.

[geek tragedy]

18. Yes, the good old days of DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x56836

Things were so much smarter back then. People could cite to Holocaust denial sites, rant about "Zionists" in the media, and pretty much get away with defending Stalin and Pol Pot.

[Le Taz Hot]

20. Oh, Yeah!

ETA: We've got some unbelievably good liberal posters on the "underground" side. I'd call them by name but I'd forget someone. Besides, we all know who they are. One of them started this thread.

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. K&R!

[Hydra]

23. We do our best work when we're not attached to the system

Because once you're attached, you have to protect it. That's just how it works.

Outside, under the bus, underground, and underappreciated, we all get it better.

[Cha]

24. As opposed to the Glenn Greenwald "lackey butt-kissing shit"?

[BainsBane]

25. You prefer when we're at each others throats?

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. I'm pretty certain ...

that's the goal ... and gop strategists wake up and click on DU, even before breitbart, drudge, redstate, or even fox, knowing that DU is making their job easier ... the don't have to defend the gop platform or their sorry candidates.

[xchrom]

27. ...

[patrice]

30. I see hate hiding behind those smilies. Have seen hating on "blue links" too. Historically, fascists

are supposedly "for the people", but it turns out that's ONLY for the people who play THEIR fascist power games.

[Amonester]

33. Psychological projection.

Introspect a little.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

35. weak stuff, dude
