So seeing as how I get a lot of hate mail from the folks over at the democratic underground, I thought it would be nice if I jump into their forums and see what I've been missing out on.
Well I guess I'm more "progressive" then they are, because when a topic of the mortgage situation came up, I offered my two cents on what people should do with their own personal finances.
I even told them that I did not personally care if someone was a Democrat or a Republican, but that my information was helpful and would prevent a lot of heartache for people looking to buy a home.
Well I went onto my "account" there after 15 minutes to see who had replied to my thread, and I found that I was banned.
I think I was banned for this reason:
Who We Are: Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office. Democratic Underground is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, and comments posted here are not representative of the Democratic Party or its candidates.
So because I wasn't going to kiss Democratic ass, I was banned.
So, this begs the question:
When I have people who bash me and my Republican views and I don't ban them or delete their comments, am I more liberal then the liberals who don't adhere to my strict standards?
I try to be fair in regards to political debate by allowing both sides to make their case be heard by the public in general. So, unless someone's a spammer or committing a crime, I don't take down their posts.
Yet, I can't seem to get the same courtesy from the other side of the aisle.
I guess I'll just add it to one more chapter in my pointing out Democratic hypocrisy. And here I thought I was dealing with rational people. Silly me. :)
