97. I agree with everything you are saying, PCIntern: and this thread proves your point

perfectly.

The dissent to what you said is insidious, sneaky, and of no use except to argue, and further make your point without realizing it. There are several people on this thread that would be on my ignore list, for that very reason.

Most liberals have a visceral reaction to posts that are not of the same mind. That doesn't meant posts that hold a different point of view....just posts that reek of the republican mind-set and attitude. To me, they stand out like a big red circle on a white background. And that type of person is all over this web site, and I just feel sick when I see how successfully they have learned to "live by the rules of DU", and infiltrate. The same way the democratic party was infiltrated after the Powell Manifesto started taking hold in the late 70's / early 80's.

Some of the infiltrators even have posts that are designed to encourage and further our cause every now and then, to try to win our trust. Others are just here to sling their feces.

It is scary, really: look what these people have done to our country, and our world. And we can't find a safe haven even on an "underground" web site, because they slither into every corner of our lives.
