Our job at the DU ...


 
...is to promote the rights that are in our Constitution.

We believe we should elect people to office that will protect those rights.

We believe in the power of debate and our right to speak freely. We exercise that right quite liberally.

We believe that spirited debate shows the true direction we should go. We believe that debate will eventually separate fact from fiction. The true challenge is about educating people to know the difference.

Many of us come and go at DU. Some of us are remembered and some of us are not. But we continue. Because we believe in the power of the people to make everyone's lives better. We call it government. Others may call it something else?

We do this for a reason. Perhaps we want to be more educated? Perhaps we want to pass that education on to others? Perhaps we truly care about this country? Perhaps we truly care and are vigilant and protective of our Constitution?

Sometimes it's a tough job. 

peace

Funniest thread today at DU. Kentuck pretty much just described the opposite of what DU is.

.is to promote the rights that are in our Constitution.

Unless it is rights that you don't like, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and most importantly the right to keep and bear arms.

Instead you protect rights that are not in the Constitution, such as free stuff on demand, abortion on demand, and wealth redistribution.

Quote
We believe in the power of debate and our right to speak freely

You only believe in your right to speak freely, all right wingers need to be shut up according to you.

4. Yes, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights are under attack lately.


Yes they are and you happily voted for those who are doing so.

silence my voice on this message board still can't control who I vote for.

26. Nobody gets censored...if they remember that the first word in DU is DEMOCRATIC...

Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose. But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where were a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side.


If that's too oppressive, plenty of other blogs to go to,

That's right you must vote for Democrats in order to post at DU.

Actually, this one is true - alas there is no spirited debate at the DUmp, fiction constantly beats fact there, and it actually dis-educates people about the difference between them.

If it was spirited debate, you let all of us join in so you can disprove real facts.  But you are welcomed here at CC.

5. Will this message self destruct in 60 seconds?

BTW, I do NOT accept this Mission Impossible.

I did not join, nor do I participate at DU primarily or even incidentally to "promote the rights that are in our Constitution".

To be honest with you, I am not even sure what that means.

"We believe we should elect people to office that will protect those rights."

Uh, yeah, but EVERYBODY who votes probably believes that. By which I mean, people who voted for Bush believe that and so do people who voted for Gore.

"We believe that spirited debate shows the true direction we should go. We believe that debate will eventually separate fact from fiction. The true challenge is about educating people to know the difference."

I am not sure if it is debate that separates fact from fiction. People seem to tend to listen to and cheer the arguments they agree with and scoff and insult the arguments they disagree with, pretty much a priori.

Like the quote says "Given a choice between a) changing their mind and b) proving that there is no need to do so, most people will get busy on the proof.

What I hoped for in DU was allies, co-workers, friends. I joined after the devastating loss of Kerry in 2004. I hoped for a support group. A group of people dedicated to opposing and defeating the Bush administration and also future Republican candidates.

As an internet site, I hoped we would be an alternative to the B.S. and shiny things put out by the M$M. A place where the conventional wisdom would be debunked. A place where people could come to learn and also find friends and allies.

And by allies, I was thinking we would all be Wellstone's "Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party". That we would be united in taking our party back from "Rubin and his allies" http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022085948

For a time there, it seemed like DU WAS such a place. Not a perfect place, but a pretty darned good place. A place that would help progressives win in 2006, 2008, 2010, etc.

Now it seems like the DLCers have taken over, but also that the other faction here is not the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party, but a wing that has broken away and wants to fly on its own to some 5th. party paradise.

But also, rather than being a progressive alternative to the M$M, it seems to be a place that just plays tug of war with every dirty piece of string the M$M throws at us.

And in another regard, well I feel a little bit like the Dread Pirate Roberts. "I coulda give you my word as a progressive" ...

Meaning, that unfortunately, if a person visits here for a few months from the outside world, they will not learn things like "Republicans are wrong". Instead, they will learn by hard-won experience "those on the left - are not very nice people."

One person can make a difference and every person should try. JFK

So, if the Duche Factory is a private site, should it be that one must pay to join and enter the site?

The bluegrass primitive is way off, when it comes to the jobs of primitives on Skins's island.

Nobody out here in the real world, including professional Democrats and liberals, pays any attention to the primitives (other than to laugh at them), excepting for the DUmpster.

If it weren't for the DUmpster, Skins's island would be like a tree falling in a forest, and no one hears it.

The job--the only job--of the primitives is to provide inventory for the DUmpster, nothing more than that.

Ken Tuckunder made me laugh, in the way only a DUmmy can do.

Here's a little free speech exercise for you, Ken Tuckunder. If you can say any of these things in the DUmp without getting tombstoned, I'll buy you a beer and a cigar:

1. Natural rights are inherent to humanity, and are superior to "civil rights" or legislated rights.

2. The greatest natural rights are the right to life, liberty, and property.

3. The right to life implicitly demands the right and the means to defend one's own life, and the lives of one's family. That right includes defense against individuals and tyrannical government.

4. The government of the United States exists to safeguard personal liberty, and must adhere strictly to the Constitution to do so.

5. The survival of the United States demands governance as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.

6. Nation before party.

7. A man is only entitled to the fruits of his own labor, by the exertion of his mind or muscles, and that which he acquires through trade or contract.

7. The government is only entitled to the least amount of the fruits of a man's labors necessary to fulfill its Constitutional duties.

8. The free market is the only economic system which allows opportunity for anyone, regardless of race, sex, or sexual preference.

9. Male-female sex perpetuates our species, and common sense dictates that we support perpetuation of our species. "Marriage" in the eyes of the law exists to support the perpetuation of our species in the healthiest and most socially stable manner.

10. If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em.

Well, if it's in the constitution and it's interpreted like the DUmmies want to interpret the second amendment, then they're entitled to a few leeches and someone bleeding them.....CAN I DO THE BLEEDING?

Got my passport yesterday... I am getting the hell out of the country

After a very long thought process I have decided to leave the United States.

I have sent in written requests to liquidate all of my retirement accounts. Accounts I started saving in 20 years ago. I am converting it all to Euro's and heading to Europe.

I still have much more planning to do, but I will be out of here before November arrives.

I am convinced that likely 70% of the US population suffers from some form of mental issue.

We are the ONLY ****ing nation in the world in which people have so much crap they actually need to RENT STORAGE SPACE in storage buildings to store it all.
 
I'm out people. I'm out.

Twix was a great DUmmy, losing his job due to a drug screening, then chronically unemployed due to urine with enough dope to be classified as a hallucinogen.

His plan was to mooch off his son, who had a job in Portugal. Poor DUmmy TwixVoy was stymied when the boy declined to provide a current address.

The 0conomy wasn't kind to DUmmy Twix.

Your job at "the DU" is to provide us with entertainment.
You are doing a a very spotty job of it.

Why can't the current crop of DUmmies live up to the legacies of the DUmp stars of just a few years ago?:

More than that. Hardcore DUers believe they will be rewarded for the diligent loyalty. I'm serious.
They think their masters watch them and nod approvingly. When the regime takes power, so they too shall rise above us.

There will be a lot of surprised DUers standing before their own firing squads. useless eaters.

History is full of DUmmies standing against walls, facing firing squads.  Helps thin out the "herd".

Might be time for another "harvest"...

It was John Warner, when he was Secretary of the Navy and tried to board TiT's riverboat without TiTtyboy's permission. TiT threatened his life with a shotgun, and then pigs flew to the moon.
