I just took a look at www.democraticunderground.com.  What an asinine website.  If you haven't been there, I hope you check it out soon.  These knuckleheads have their own little set of rules governing postings on their discussion forum, which is all too typical of the liberal mentality:  you will be banned from our website if you disagree with us.  You will be banned from our website if you say anything bad about the democratic party.  You will be banned from the website if you post anything "homophobic, anti-religious, or pro-Bush, etc., etc. etc. ad nauseum.  Dear friends, you will never see such rules on the Publius site, I assure you.

The point is that these people do not like, and will not countenance, dissent.  They consider that the First Amendment, like the Second Amendment, is a vestigial throw-back to days of yore, which has no place in the modern collectivist, think-alike world.  It's their way, or the highway.  And if they had their way, that's how it would be in America.  They'd take away our guns, then they'd take away our right to think for ourselves.

These whiners call their little site a "big tent" message board.  What a joke.  Democratic Underground, whoever you are, you should hang your sorry, totalitarian head in shame.
