A quick word about expectations. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8321871)
Recently there seems to have been an uptick in complaints about the prevalence of other opinions here on Democratic Underground. This happens from time-to-time. I suspect that this time the catalyst was the nomination of Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. This post is to remind you that if you want this place to only represent one viewpoint, you are never going to get your wish.
If you post something supportive of President Obama or the Democratic Party here on DU, some people are going to disagree with you.
If you post something critical of President Obama or the Democratic Party here on DU, some people are going to disagree with you.
This is as it should be. DU is a diverse community which includes a broad range of progressive opinion.
If you want to share an opinion without having someone disagree with you, then whatever you do, DON'T POST YOUR OPINION ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND. Because if you do, some people are going to disagree with you.
Thank you for listening.

PS: And while I have your attention, I would like to remind everyone to make an effort to be civil. We may disagree on a number of issues, but there is no need to be disagreeable when we disagree.

He would lead you to believe that the broad range of progressive opinion is as wide as Michelle O's butt.....butt it ain't. It's as narrow as her mind.

broad range of progressive opinion
Yeah, the range runs the full gamut from "It's all Bush's fault" to "It's all Cheney's Fault."
In fact, if you remove all the moles and all the people who will eventually be tombstoned in the vein of OMC or Fire_Medic_Dave, you're left with that lock-stepping, goose-stepping choir they claim they ain't.

Was anyone actually able to read that with a straight face? I tried but didn't make it past the first paragraph. :rotf:

I doubt if Big Little Goon kept a straight face while he typed it.

Now for a question - How long will it take for a primitive to read the above pair of quotes, and conclude I'm a racist ? :whatever:

The DUmp is so boring today. I went over and found nothing suitable to bring back. Not even the Lounge. Someone's cat had been diagnosed with diabetes, so they ran to the DUmp "HELP ME!!!" Taverner really wants the qualuude to come back in style. He had several enthusiasts.

Good grief, my miniature Schnauzer mix pound doggie was diagnosed with diabetes on Monday. I didn't realize I was supposed to run over here to cry on youall's shoulders and get medical advice. I thought I was supposed to cry on hubby and the kiddies' shoulders and get the medical advice from my vet.
What was I thinking? :thatsright:

He is so full of it. What he meant to say was if he doesn't like you, or if someone who donates heavily doesn't like you, then watch your back because you will be TSd.
And I guarantee you he didn't want to ban Will Pitt, but with the threats and all...

Does this mean I can come out of the closet there and be myself, a conservative?
-
yeah DU is quite diverse they allow both socialists and communists to post there. :-)

No way! I refuse to give them a dime. I have to stay in the closet there at least until the mid-terms since they close the place down I heard when they lose big, so I want access to the meltdowns, and of course I want access so I can post the sad :( (must include the sad smiley face) polling info projecting huge losses for the Democrats, while inside I'm like ha! :-)

Yes, so diverse that people who have even slightly differing opinions from the majority get a pizza!

Fire_Medic_Dave bought a holster from me off of ebay. I knew who he was but didn't let him know that I knew. He was a mole but I don't believe from here.

You heard right, many of us refer to that as them going to "DEFCON ONE." :-)

Or, in other words, curling up in the fetal position around a bottle of MD 20/20 on the floor, whimpering and whining about how, "it's unfair, it's unfair, it's so damned unfair!!!eleventyone!!111! :bawl: :bawl: "
The only time of the year more joy filled, is Fitzmas morn. (or is that M*O*U*R*N...) :lmao:

That must be why Iverglas gets away with murder in the gungeon. If you don't know her, count your blessings. She's a bitch.

Oh, the tales of woe I can post here. :cheersmate:

There's only one coming out of the closet they :cheerleader2: at the DUmp and proclaiming oneself a conservative (or sane, for that matter) is grounds for :angryvillagers:

She's been MIA for awhile now. sharesunited tries to pick up the slack- and fails.

Fixt. After all, it says so in "Teh Rules":
Who is Welcome on Democratic Underground, and Who is Not
Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office.
Oh, and $kimmer needs to update "Teh Rules":
We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. Bush is doing a swell job, or if you wish to see Republicans win, or if you are generally supportive of conservative ideals, please do not register to post, as you will likely be banned.

In other words: If you are sane, don't try to break into the nut house.
