Could this be the birth of Free Republic 2.0?

508. Based on my one visit there

and the names posted in highlighted responses to this OP, almost all of that site's posters are already on my DU Iggy List.

If I don't want to see them here, I am not willing to venture over there to view their bile.

In a somewhat-related tangent, I made the mistake of responding to a Facebook post by one of my grandsons (19), who happens to be sweet, but fairly clueless politically. His dad was practically an adult before I married into the family and is also sweet but slightly more attuned politically because he is a union member.

My grandson and I know, love and mutually respect each other and he really does want to learn. But he is fighting against an upstream current since he lives in a "red" part of MD. He posted something about Rand Paul and how he was more honest than Hillary. I, of course, had to respond that Hillary was not only NOT dishonest, but had been continuously slandered, smeared and lied about for 25+ years and had not done anything wrong. He took it fairly well and, I know, will think about it. But one of his acquaintances - whom I don't know and who doesn't know me at all and who wasn't even part of the conversation - tore into me very nastily (I don't believe that he realized that I was my grandson's grandmother by marriage) and said that the only reason that I would support (nasty description) Hillary is because I too am a woman. I responded by listing some of Hillary's accomplishments and noted that, as a lawyer myself, I found the trumped-up charges against her without merit. I also mentioned that I would not be answering him again. He responded nonetheless and his response was that because I was a lawyer, I must be wealthy (LOL - comfortable, but hardly wealthy!!) and so anything I said had no credibility.

But I remain amazed and disheartened by what passes for logic among too many - and especially among our millennials. More unfortunately, too many of those on the "other" site discussed here do not even have the excuse of being young and un/misinformed.
