Well, I've seen it done in [i]one[/i].
Really though, you must try harder next time around. First of all, rid yourself of any rational objections to the Lib's agenda. Remember, emotions, wishes, and good intentions are paramount. Factual knowledge is useful only insofar as it corroborates the Lib agenda. Any facts that would discredit same are automatically suspect, as is the poster. Emotions are the only thing that matters. Why think when feeling is so much more instinctive? The more raw emotion you show that is supportive of the Lib cause, the better. Finally, you must get along and go along. It is vital to offer criticism of only two things: first thing to blast is anyone who is a Disruptor (That means an independent thinker, anathema to DUers). Second (careful, now) is to gently criticize other posters if, and only if they are not sufficiently mindlessly Liberal. So, in sum, to be a successful DU poster, switch off your critical thinking faculties, let loose your emotions, and join the herd. Hope this helps. |

Quoted: So, in sum, to be a successful DU poster, switch off your critical thinking faculties, let loose your emotions, and join the herd. Hope this helps. Well, that's what I have been doing with my latest DU id, but then they called me on being an "agent provacteur" for supporting discredited ideas. Supporting discredited ideas? I thought that was what DU was for! Does the following sound a little too "far out" for DU? Thread topic: FDRLincoln (492 posts) Dec-27-02, 11:13 PM (ET) Thought Exercise: YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT: Foreign Policy "By some magic, today, December 27th, 2002 you...yes, YOU....have just been named President of the United States. By some magic, the Democrats now have small margins in the House and Senate...they are up 10 seats in the House and 3 seats in the Senate. The political margin for the Democrats is thin, but they have a very slight majority. Otherwise, the situation is exactly as it was yesterday before this magic took place...the economy sucks, war with Iraq is imminent, and North Korea is acting up. Give us your programs, people. This thread is for FOREIGN POLICY. I will start a separate thread for economic policy. What is the policy of your administration? How will you deal with Iraq? North Korea? Let's keep the pipedreams to a minimum....you MUST balance your plans with the U.N., NATO, domestic political opinion, and realistic diplomatic considerations in regards to U.S. prestige abroad." Now, here's my response to this intriguing question: [b]Glampuss (14 posts) Dec-28-02, 02:25 AM (ET) 13. open diplomatic relations with Cuba Life the embargo on them, and ask them how to create an egalitarian society in America with excellent education and racial relations. Appoint Nobel Laurate Jimmy Carter as Secretary of Defense (I like Colin Powell where he is). Make Helen Thomas White House communications director/spokeswoman Open borders with Mexico, no visa requirements for any visitors to the US, open immigration. Live up to the ideals of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses". Open visa requirements for visitors from Islamic countries, free the detainees in Guantanamo Bay and secret CIA interrogation facilities in Afghanistan and Jordan. Cut foreign aid and diplomatic relations with Israel for their brutal treatment of Palestinians. Apologize to the World, in general. Especially the Muslim Ummah, Kim Il Jong, Robert Mugabe, Victor Chavez, Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the people of Iraq. Sign the Kyoto Treaty, land mine ban, scrap Star Wars and go back to honoring the ABM Treaty Withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Kuwait, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.[/b] http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=25266&forum=DCForumID60#19 |

I'm guessing the moron who responded is Arab...or maybe just a moron.
Appoint Nobel Laurate Jimmy Carter as Secretary of Defense Why? I'm sure the world will be one big happy family after all this happens. Why would we need the military? Just think of all the social programs we could fund. Why, we could all quit work and live on government handouts. I'm all for that. I'm switching to the democat party. Eddie |

Oh, [b]that[/b] was you. I thought the question was you at first. And it seems plausible to me that there are DUers who seriously think that way. Maybe you'll get a pat on the back or something.
Sounds like fun! |

Appoint Nobel Laurate Jimmy Carter as Secretary of Defense (I like Colin Powell where he is). Not bad, the part about Cuba. Where you went wrong here is a tacit endorsement of Powell. You see, the Libs hate the idea that a black man can rise to the top without their help, and Powell typifies this. You also erred with Carter. You should have proposed him for U.N. secretary-General. Make Helen Thomas White House communications director/spokeswoman Not vigorous enough for the rough and tumble of everyday politics. Give her an "W.H. Commo Director [b]Emeritus[/b]" position for her past efforts, and put forth Paul Begalla. Open borders with Mexico, no visa requirements for any visitors to the US, open immigration. Live up to the ideals of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses". Fine, you're getting the idea. Open visa requirements for visitors from Islamic countries, free the detainees in Guantanamo Bay and secret CIA interrogation facilities in Afghanistan and Jordan. Very good. You have a talent, I can see. Cut foreign aid and diplomatic relations with Israel for their brutal treatment of Palestinians. OK so far, but there are lots of Lib Jewish people, too. You MUST throw them a face-saving sop, such as "Together, we will move as One towards Understanding and Peace in the Middle East". Apologize to the World, in general. Especially the Muslim Ummah, Kim Il Jong, Robert Mugabe, Victor Chavez, Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the people of Iraq. Sorry, this is where you lost it. Over the top. Now if you apologized for raping the world's resources, or exploiting the underclass in the Third World, that's fine. But blanket, vague apologies, especially to characters suspect to even DUers, are insufficient for the US's sins. Got it? Sign the Kyoto Treaty, land mine ban, scrap Star Wars and go back to honoring the ABM Treaty Withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Kuwait, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.[/b] http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=25266&forum=DCForumID60#19 Last two paras are fine. You just need a little more focus, and put forth more self-hate and guilt over being an American. That will do it. Hope this helps. |

The mods have been notified of your hateful post. Buh-bye! How was that? |

I tried the stupid agreement approach once and it got me banned quickly. It was a thread about the movie "Blackhawk Down". I said I didn't like the racist movie because all it showed was a bunch of mean ole white boys shooting black people. For some unknown reason they saw through my little disguise and banned me.

Thank you, I was just thinking the same thing "Our" women? Whose women? We are our own people, we own ourselves, we don't belong to anyone else. Maybe, if you had said "American women" and then asked what DU women think of that, there could be a meaningful discussion. Sigh, maybe if you think of the phrase "our Blacks" you'll understand. dsc (5749 posts) Dec-29-02, 03:05 AM (ET) Reply to post #14 22. That has got to be one of the more disingenuous posts I have seen. It is crystal clear what he meant. As he shows you use that construction when it is convenient for you to do so. You owe him an apology that was just a cheap shot. [b]Glampuss (31 posts) Dec-29-02, 06:51 AM (ET) Reply to post #22 28. No, you owe ME and all womyn an apology I see the semiotics of sexism are alive and well, even in so-called "progressive" democratic forums. [/b] |

Oddly enough, just the other day I was addressed thusly: [i]SixGunner you are a jerk and mean spirited [/i] for posting this: [i]Do I hear more complaining, or is that Fran Drescher singing while running the vacuum cleaner in a flying 767? I can't tell from here, but the whine sure is incessant. "Whaaaa! The Rich! They are so mean! They want all the money and us little people have to sleep in the dirt!" Bah. At least phrase it a bit more eloquent, or just quote from the Communist Manifesto." Whine, whine, whine. Frigging small-town bolshevists. [/i] |

As can be seen, certain phrases and code words abound at DU, like any other web site.
There are also certain other mores and conventions which [b]must[/b] be observed. True Libs are accustomed to such slavish observances, and think (if at all) nothing about it. However, as a free-thinker, careful observation and a period of lurking serve the UDU {Underground DemocraticUnderground) poster very well. |
