The ability to question our party leaders is one of the biggest differences between our party
and the GOP. That is a DIRECT quote form one of my friends here on DU. And they are right, because those of you who wish to restrict our right to criticize, disrupt our threads when we are trying to make a point, or simply try to shut them down or get our posts deleted are NO better than the GOP scum who we are at war with.


Live long and prosper. And learn to accept criticism instead of stifling it.

1. You seem to be posting your criticisms OK. Nobody here
can restrict that unless they are mods or admins. People might disagree with your criticisms, though. Is that OK with you?

5. Here's the deal. You post an OP. I reply. That's how DU
works. I'll continue to post replies when you post OPs, if that's what I want to do. I'm sure you'll continue to post what you think, as well. It's DU.

9. And that's your opinion. You have posted it.
Nobody has stopped you from doing so. That's how it works.

6. I don't know why we compliment ourselves so much on that.
Limbaugh, Hannity, and others absolutely excoriated Bush for failing to be sufficiently conservative, for failing to recognize the Muslim Menace and the liberal menace. I mean they do criticize their leaders.

10. That is a really profound quote. Your DU friend is right. The
"The ability to question our party leaders is one of the biggest differences between our party"

GOP get their platform from rich people who worked it back from 1. not wanting to pay taxes and resulting in policy position like gay hate, abortion nay, no taxes, no regulation. They aren't the party of the people they just throw them a little meat at times (NRA) or (patriotism "FREEEEEEEEDOM").

We Democrats are the party of the people. I knew that but just really like your friends quote.
