I find nearly ALL of the people at DU are rabid, anti-American, Anti-gun, Anti-civil rights and totally PRO UN and not worth talking to.
What seemed like many years ago, IMHO, Democrats *USED* to be "The Good Guys" when LIB meant LIBERTY. They've sold their souls to socialist ideals with some obscure notion of a utopian society were there are no weapons, criminals, hatred, violence, etc, What they never understood was the nature of MAN and the lust for criminal behavior. They also seem to think that submission to aggression equates to survival. If they had their way, there would be no US military, No individuality, no freedom of thought or expression and no self defence, thus, NO AMERICA. But, to show them this, to try to explain it to them, is beyond their graps and they see US, not terrorists as the enemy for they sympathize with the enemy and believe that WE drew first blood. They forget the events of September 11, they forget the events of so many hijackings, bombings, perpetrated by our enemies that have been happening for years.
They have much political power and use what can only be called "Politically correct" idealism to attract the very young to their ranks, to give acceptance to radical persons, deviate behavior, celebrating "diversity" over unity, and against a nation of oneness. They have brought you "Mexican-American", "African-American", and such where there is no such thing, An American has always been an American, but to them, that notion take away from a persons "identity". They want individual identity, yet want socialism. It is akin to wanting water both hot and cold, but only when either suits their purpose on any given subject.
They, by their very actions, principals, beliefs and morals are treasonous to our constitutional republic. A quote from a movie line describes democracy well, from the movie "The Patriot", Benjamin Martin says "Why should I trade 1 tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants 1 mile away, An elected legislature can trample a man's right away just as easy as a king can". The DU folk believe that ANY thought along THOSE lines is "brainwashing", yet they ignore the cold hard truth that our elected legislators, daily trample our rights in ALL 50 states.
Some say that they look forward to a civil war where everything will be decided there. What Republicans and Democrats do not realize is that we're ALREADY in a civil war, faught with political weapons instead of guns. It's a vicious war where the balance of power hangs on but a string. It's a whisper away from forever losing the America that we once knew and entering into the most terrifying new world aristocracy ever seen. Sadly, they don't realize that they have been duped by foreign influence who's sole intent was from the very beginning to undermine the United States. These DUers Are Americans that sadly, have no concept of what it meand and requires to CONTINUE to be an American.
DU is ALL this and so much more, the more being far worse. It literally is insanity that spreads faster than an airborn virus. Any opposition to them at DU is met with a quick and quite permanant BAN. Many of us HATE them, as for myself, I feel sorry for them, they have no idea of the future of America that they are destroying. They truly believe the spoon fed illusions of utopia will come to pass, what they don't see coming is IMHO, these will be the very people that will put the Antichrist in power while enslaving a once free nation. DU is but ONE fang of a snake who's teeth are burried deep in the flesh of Lady Liberty, pumping deadly venom into the hearts of all.
Everytime I visit that site, I feel unclean. If you want to sense the presence of true HATE and EVIL, DU is the place to do it. I believe Satan himself posts there, he just uses many names as he is the ultimate attention/post whore.
ETA: Here, even thought I believe the CoC is quite intrusive to free expression, we still enjoy a large element of that expression. I have had many of HEATED arguments with fellow member here. The difference is that here at ARFCOM, we CAN have those differences. Weather we like one another or not, we are united in at LEAST ONE cause, FREEDOM, in that, we are brothers. At DU, there are simply many degrees of "enemy". Speak your mind here, and if it's deemed not appropriate, you'll get a warning, maybe a time out depending on seriousness. Do that there and your toast. These are MY thoughts concerning DU, you may or may not agree, that's ok.
