43. I didn't realize what that opening post was about...

I didn't realize what that opening post was about. I didn't recognize it as a call out. I'm so slow. I have never turned a laser on a DUer with the purpose of pushing them off the site. But, then again, this seems less about democratic principles and more about controlling the conversation and people, not just on the site...but nationwide.

Only authorized lockstep thinking allowed, all others will be shut down and shamed. At times, we enable the crap, too. I tell my sons, don't become a part of the newly "enslaved'. Don't leave one set of chains for another mental set. That's why I don't give black republicans a hard time. I want to challenge their policies...not their right as a free people to have a different philosophy.

The people who suggest Obama supporters are cheerleaders...they have a different agenda, entirely. They are mad that you aren't the cheerleaders of the most important items on their list. What outrages them, should outrage you too. But, then, even if you're outraged...wait, you're not outraged enough. Uh, oh...now, you're not outraged in the right way. Yesterday, you should have picketed. Wait...you were picketing. You should have been doing voting registration. What? You were doing voter registration...you should have been (apparently doing whatever the hell they said you should be doing...when they said you should have been doing it.)

It's about control, not principle.

But, it also proves something else, loud and clear. There are some on DU, who think the party would be fine without this nice, BIG, voting block. When you can treat people ANY KIND OF WAY YOU WANT...well, heck...apparently, you don't think you need them.

One of the lessons of Hillary Clinton (2008), has apparently not been learned.
