(24,544 posts)I share so much of your disgust with this place. The libertarianism here has run amok and completely OBLITERATED what used to be a place of reasonably intelligent, interesting people. The "we want Kucinich 2008" crew seems quaint and adorable compared to the foolishness that blankets this place now.
It is now a troll cave for people who are woefully uneducated and desperately miserable and want everyone else to be as well. So many of the Popular Kids in this forum have made absolutely no attempt to cover up their utter disgust with all things America and if that means propping up or minimizing the shenanigans of a lunatic gassing his own people or another lunatic putting his own citizens under the jail because of their sexual orientation or religious preferences, these folks are all too happy to do it.
And yes, it is heartless and mean-spirited which is bad enough, but it's the gleeful stupidity that goes with it too that is the main reason there won't be any stars next to my name any time soon. Folks are joyously posting the most idiotic stupidity from Freepers, PNAC'ers and conservatives and as long as it criticizes this president, even if from the most deranged and pointless viewpoints, they still thrilled to kick and rec. And they wonder why the page views, quality of discourse and overall prestige of this place have all dropped like damn stones.
