(1,494 posts)I came on this sight after hearing about it on of all places... the Rush L show. I read and read, then read some more. Finally, I created an account and tentatively began asking questions. My questions received comments ranging from awesome answers to accusations of being some kind of a saboteur. Eventually... and when I say eventually i mean within a week or so I found out I was given the ole Tombstone.
... It pissed me off. So, I stomped off for a few days, then started reading other people's posts again. Honestly... I felt like I was being exposed to concepts and ideas that I may have heard before, not not at all in the way I was then reading. Soooo... I created a new account (and took some time to pick my new name) and this time, if I had questions I'd try and find the answers myself. Long story short... I found that I actually agreed in my heart with most of the things those on the left espouse. I also realized that most of the things that kept me center right before DU were facades... BS feel good crap that really is the opposite of what they tell you to believe. I obviously still continue on with the practice of reading a hell of alot more than I post since im at the 900's range and been here for 6 years.
I guess what I'm saying is there are ALOT of center/right leaning people out there that truly are not. And no... we don't all have the internet or the same news choices and even if they did, how would they know where to look? A bubble is a very difficult thing to exit once inside.
ps... Just to be clear, I ALWAYS thought Rush L. was a piece of shit egotistical racist piece of shit (yes I said it twice). Have a good day.
