The Awesome Power of DU

[ck4829]

It is undeniable that the Democratic Underground has Power.

Why is it undeniable?

It is because we are facing persecution from the Right-Wing. Rush Limbuagh, News Max, CNSNews, Michelle Malkin, etc. have all made remarks about DU recently.

Some of these same people and groups had also played a role in the persecution of Bill Clinton. So, you can tell we frighten them.

They want to see DU gone and for all the DU'ers to just shut up and comply with the Right-Wing.

Let's go on the offensive. Let's show these Fascists just how powerful we are, I suggest DU form Groups that are exclusively opposed to the people who want to see DU down and out. For example, there should be an Anti-Rush Limbaugh Group, and Anti-Michelle Malkin Group, and more.

Then they ridicule you
Then they fight you

Nine years ago, my daughter Adele and I were driving from my home, then in Maryland, to the home of my sister-in-law Christine Fishbeck, in West Virginia, where we were going to have a 4th of July party. This party was something of an annual event for area libertarians. As Adele and I were crossing the Potomac River, my daughter noticed that the Maryland state police were stopping cars going in the opposite direction. She asked me what was happening.

I realized the state police were searching for fireworks, which were legal just across the border, in Virginia and West Virginia, but were not legal in Maryland. I told this to Adele. She asked, why aren't fireworks legal in Maryland? I replied, because the state of Maryland doesn't want people to celebrate Independence Day.

This isn't the way they see it in Maryland. To them, it's okay to celebrate the 4th of July as long as you do it in a safe and legal way. Of course, if the patriots had stayed safe and legal, we'd have nothing to celebrate on the 4th.

11. Nice haircut. NOT.

Mensa. There's another group of self-absorbed elitists, bent on proving their superiority over everyone else.

Simplex to the max.

By the way, I have the distinct HONOR of being the only member of a Mensa chapter to formally resign. I got sick and tired of people who think that intelligence entitles them to piss on everyone else instead of incurring extra responsibility in a free society.

That, and I got really bored with the Star Trek debates ("NO, NO! Next Generation is REVISIONIST!") and the "how far can you play chess in your head" contests.

Jeez.

they don't have a clue

13. GREAT IDEA.....Can we have an Anti-Ann Couter too?????

I have actually heard her say about three times (and I don't even watch FOX)....she has said, that she thinks we (the USA) should attack all of the muslim countries and convert them all to Christianity. I couldn't even believe I heard it come out of her mouth...but then I heard it two other times on different shows. That kind of remark is exactly why these people hate us so much. How would she like it if she was forced to convert and become a muslim?????

14. hate to disagree

The DU is a shadow of what it could be. It will never achieve it's potential as long as it's mired in the same ideological straight-jacket as the Democratic Party is and refuses to rethink those big issues from constitutional reform... to democracy... to property rights... to corporations. Even when new forums are added... they don't reflect the a recognition that there are the big issues out there that Democrats refuse to think about. Yet unless we rethink these issues, Democrats will forever be doomed to tinker with, instead of reform, a dysfunctional system created by history and the Right.

Last week I proposed some ideas to Skinner on how to make the DU an on-line think tank: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=120x24383
