Just visited FR! Funny Place, many clowns there...
I wonder what they do for a living.
One has as a motto: "Inside every liberal beats the heart of a dictator."

Their website is really bad, technically, let alone the content. DU website is, technically, really superior (thanks, admins).

Here are some examples of their intellectual capacity. Alarming.

One guy wrote, regarding Soros:
" . . . activist for the preservation of an American open society."

We already have an open society; what Soros wants is to end that, to destroy the Constitution by destroying American sovereignty and making the U.S. a slave to non-elected, non-accountable international organizations like the U.N. He is an international socialist, nothing less.


I get that reaction also at the over-used buzzwords, "international community". Translation: "The self-aggrandizing tyrannical demagogues sitting in the U.N.".

Our country is enforcing international law with military might; a concept that is unfortunately new to many in the world community, but one that should have been utilized years ago. This would have prevented most of the problems we face today. What do we expect when we have had a bunch of pacifists running most countries? That is, until three years ago.

"international law"
Fighting words. When I hear these 2 words I immediately clench my fist.


Correct. There is no such thing as "international law."

2. That's it.
Don't know where these people are kept. In Texas perhaps.

3. DU is technically superior. Rim Job soaks his supporters 2.5K per year

The site has looked the same since 1998.

6. uh
to clarify, I have noted a flurry of upgrades since Elad got hired on - two fundraisers ago. The upgrades occur all along, not only during fundraising times. This ain't Public Television, where they have programming unique to pledge week.

7. Ahem, ditto
They seem to go out of their way to be a**holes. You will get someone cussing you if you ask a question about getting a tick out of your dogs ear or how to get your e-mail to work. Some of them just seem mean. They'd rather give you sh*t than ignore you.

Not like here. If you have a question, people here help. And if they don't want to help, at least they usually STFU.

8. There's some real wackos there
all of them like the one you quote have some kind of anti-social disorder. Despite this obvious mental illness there are people that agree with them and think those are legitimate points of view.
