I want to give a shout out to DUers who exemplify and defend honesty, reason, logic and fairness.

I want to give a shout out to DUers who evaluate facts and form their own unbiased opinions rather than latching onto the witch hunt of the week.

I want to give a shout out to DUers who stand for reason in the face of intimidation and pseudo-peer-pressure.

I want to give a shout out to DUers willing to dig out the facts, the truth, and defend such against unfair attacks, even under threat of possibly having some dreaded label attached to them.

I want to give a shout out to DUers who value discernment and willful comprehension, yes, thoughtfulness, over a non-thinking, lockstep mentality.

I want to give a shout out to DUers who place honesty and fairness first.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

I remember saying "shout out" all the time as a teenager.  Mostly in 1999.

I thought that was something Casey Kasem used to do on his weekly radio show.

Maybe.  I just didn't listen to him that often.  'Shout out' was a big thing to say in my teen years.  That's all I remember.

2. I like to think that the overwhelming majority of DU'ers reach for those attributes

Well you are wrong.

111. I'd like to think that too.

But watching so many emotion-based reactions followed by abject derision posted day in and day out has really hit my 'disenchant' button too many times.

69. i went to du2 yesterday

I'm sick of the k and r if you support obama threads at the top of the greatest page. This is supposed to be a discussion board, not a fan club.

Oh....  from the outside looking in we couldn't tell.   :popcorn:

45. When I first joined DU, I was scared I was too centrist for the site

I suspect that I have moved marginally from the center in these last (it's exactly five) five years, but I don't think I've moved that much.

I hadn't been back for some time, as things have been busy dealing with a devastating loss in the family, and on my return, I suddenly find that I'm apparently too far left to fit in here anymore?

It's just downright weird.

I also think I might be one of these Ron Paul-ites according to some? Either the world has gone mad or I have. Probably both.

Well you won't be posting here much longer... It's in the TOS that you vote D.  Buh-Bye

55. Cognitive dissonance leads to rigidification of positions and ideas.

I believe that as Obama supporters see him doing things like signing the NDAA, they become more and more unable to reconcile the image they have of him with the reality of what he is doing/not doing.

This leads to cognitive dissonance and causes major defensiveness and eventually anger, etc. It also leads to a desire to circle the wagons and exist only in a group of other like minded people, that makes the discomfort of said dissonance less apparent.

I feel the same way you do about the site.

105. I think that's the direction I'm heading

I've discovered a new place, and if I can't post truly felt concerns and questions without being attacked for having some crazy ulterior motive (this is simply insane), what's the point of it all? As many of us head for the exits, the echo of the emptied room becomes more prominent.

This thread has turned into one interesting campsite.
