Tribalism again.
Dammit folks. We don't need Loyalty Oathes like the freaks over at Bush Co do. Let's understand that there are differences of opinion here.

If DU wants to have a litmus test...let it be known!!!

I don't think it would be that hard to come up with one.

The posts that should be deleted are not those of a different view, but those of hatred and blame. No one should be allowed to spew hatred towards a single group that they thought helped Democrats lose in 2004....such as Gays, abortion and blahbledityblahblahblah.

However, if we are going to have that kind of a ban, I think we should have it apply to those who attack Southerners as well.

:)

1. If we banned blanket attacks on all Southerners,
an awful lot of people here would have nothing to say--literally.

It really is amazing--Bush is wrecking the world in more ways than we ever could have imagined, but many of us here would rather do flamewars than discuss anything that's actually important.

2. But don't people act weird?

Those that take it upon themselves to be victims here when they are probably more welcome here and accepted and defended by 99% of the real DUers than the rest of the country?

I agree, more Bushwacking needed, and less DUer dividing.
