Title: Newbie Here
Post by: liberty on February 14, 2013, 11:04:38 PM: Hi all,
Just a quick introduction.
I'm a young conservative who is sick and tired of watching our current leaders throw our country's future away.
I used to be a very active diarist on redstate, but since the latest makeover to redstate most of the community has moved on. So after a little searching for another forum, here I am.

Welcome!

"Liberty" is the secret word of the day.

What does the word "liberty" mean to you?

Why did you leave Redstate? What changed over there?

Welcome aboard mate. :texas:

Why did you leave Redstate? What changed over there?

Back in august or september they totally re-designed the website. In my opinion the new design really undermined the discussion part of redstate. Most of the diarists felt that way too, and slowly most of the us moved on. I still go on redstate, but it's just not what it used be. :(

Post by: ADiii on April 20, 2013, 09:37:47 AM: Thanks for the warm welcome.

I found this place in an odd fashion. I was searching for home improvement help, and after being frustrated by not getting the answer I needed, I started typing various iterations of the key words. I found a useful post here at conservativecave.com . The helpful attitude in that forum was attractive.

I have been posting only a few days, and I have a question: What exactly is the purpose of the DUmpster? I find my self oddly attracted to it, like a train wreck or a violent cage match on television. The energy there is startling, but it's all negative energy. Yelling, cursing, insulting -- at people on another discussion board. Granted, the "DU" is a mess, and there are lots of misguided people there. But what's the attraction? Please don't interpret this as criticism, because it is not. I just want to know.

Post by: Chris_ on April 20, 2013, 10:03:12 AM: I'm going to borrow someone else's words to describe the attraction, at least for some.

I don't think there is a single blog out there I read that hasn't at least once linked to Democratic Underground's Forum. The place is like a train wreck of human thought; you just can't help but gawk at their twisted logic and wild-eyed conspiracy theories. I've even ended up becoming addicted to the site; anytime there is breaking news, I think, "I wonder what the nuts are saying about this," and head straight for DU. It's like a daily freak show.

That was kind of my first reaction too. I was confused. Actually I'm always confused, but that's another discussion.

I think your description of the DUmp being like watching a cage match is spot on. Just stick around and get to know everyone here. If the dump gets on your nerves (it does mine sometimes) then just go to other forums.

BTW, welcome.

It's like visiting the zoo and watching animals eat their own feces and such. (sorry for the visual)

I tell myself it's really another planet because how could there be so many STUPID people on planet Earth, but then Obama did get elected a second time. :thatsright:

Post by: ADiii on April 21, 2013, 09:19:33 AM: I came here for some advice on repairing a shower. Mission accomplished, shower repaired.

In another forum here, I am now being called a long string of names by multiple posters for repeating what four or five others here at conservativecave.com have said. Nope, ain't happening. Looks like I didn't last 25 posts.

By the way, the people piling it on are among those I observed being particularly loud and hateful in the DUmpster. It's a bit ironic, or maybe just consistent. It's what happens when bad behavior gets positive reinforcement, even among adults.

All the best, good people. Thank you for the warm welcome, but I am out! (And, no, I won't let the screen door hit me on the way out. :-) )

No...someone disagreed with you and you started acting like a pompous asshole.

Go back to DU.
