www.democraticunderground.com. What the F is this place all about? I visited their forum, and posted a reply that dissented the opinion of another member. I was banned for this action. Why? Well...I read the rules of this forum again and all I could determine was that it was a violation of this rule:

"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."

Is this a bunch of BS or what? I posted a link to a site that I enjoy, http://newpublius.tripod.com and this undoubtedly aided in the moderators decision to ban me. This seems odd coming from the people that claim that the Republicans repeatedly violate their first amendment rights. Not up for a debate? Maybe you should get your issues straight. Publius wrote about this BS on the site listed above. Check out the democratic underground and let publius know what you think in the forum, he is going to send an email conveying his thoughts and the thoughts of his visitors to the leaders of the DNC and see how they feel about this. My guess is that they will either dodge the question or they will excuse the behavior of their constituents, as is typical of their behavior but we'll see.

Yeah, I had the same problem there. The thing is, they call you a "freeper." Yet... the name of that site is "democratic underground" not "liberal underground." Since when was there some rule that democrats could not be conservative, at least sometime, on at least some issues? It isn't as though the site ever asked you for your party affiliation.

My own congressman, Rep-Solomon Ortiz, is pro-life, anti-gun control, among other things, and he is a democrat. To call someone a "freeper," on that site, just because they espouse conservative views is therefore,... well, goofy.
