‘My Party Has Lost Its Soul’

[cui bono]

83. You didn't answer the question... do you disagree with the quotes?

And just because the group has it's SOP, that doesn't negate that it is closed minded and refuses to deal with facts. In fact, it's pretty much stating it right there. And it would be one thing if that was confined to the group, but it isn't. There are plenty who, rather than discuss an issue, simply attempt to smear anyone who dares speak out against the current administration no matter what group it is posted in.

I got banned for practically nothing. I didn't even know I was posting to the group. Not only that, I got banned with no warning. It's a shitty group that gets run shittily.

Your past paragraph is so far from reality it's sad that you think it is true. If it were true you wouldn't see so many comments from other DUers about the "BOGGERS". And as to your last sentence, the result was the result of people speaking out. The Summers trial balloon failed because so many people spoke out against it. Chained CPI failed because so many people spoke out against it. That's the point of democracy, people get to criticize the govt and speak out and hopefully affect policy. If we were never to criticize or speak out it would not be a democracy. Governed by the consent of the governed means something.

And your comment about thread after thread condemning the president is telling. You are more worried that he is being criticized than you are about the bad policy he pursues. And that right there is the crux of the problem. I truly hope one day you will see that you are not doing yourself or our country any favors by attempting to disallow any and all criticism of the administration. I really do.

The quotes in my sig are extremely important. The fact that you took them as directed at you/the BOG speaks volumes. Perhaps you should let them sink in. The country depends on it.
