commitment, fealty to conservative ideals having been abandoned long ago now. This is the despairing explanation of their decline by conservative scholars and political scientists alike.

Liberals believe in and strive for the same liberal values we always have.

That's both why the lost souls at conservative forums are obsessed with us and why we have no interest in returning their dysfunctional compliment.

They have learned from the Russians how powerful "divide and conquer" can be.

checked it out. There is a whole anti DU thing over there and they name specific DU posters. Yet, their site says it is "a place where liberals and conservatives can discuss issues together". Nothing I saw was in any way considered "liberal" to me. All they do is make fun of DU.

I only was there about 5 min before I was disgusted and left. I did see three familiar DU posters' names though in only that short period of time and a post from our site today was a topic.

*They seem to get a thrill that our site cares about our use of correct grammar and "no foul language" rule which I thought was pretty ridiculous since half of my posts have profanity and no one seems to report it.

We are twice as many and can get just as mean. These people think were pu++ies bc we dont walk around w AR-15s. You guys stay tuned bc we are completely unafraid of you horses asses and look forward to showing you. If we are guilty of anything, it's trusting that Americans put America first. They didn't, but, they want to make fun of us? The nerve. We won't let them make that mistake again. We'll show you guys how we deal with red loving traitors.

I have no interest in going over there because I know it is all going to be just lies, bullshit and hate. If they didn't think we were saying anything of importance, they wouldn't bother with us. Obviously they are threatened by something, most likely the truth.

For example, if someone posts in The Lounge about getting a new sink for their bathroom, it might show up there. It's really weird. I'm not really sure why someone would waste their time doing such a thing.

with people making arguments I could not believe any Democrat would make. I have sometimes wonder if these are Republican moles or Russian trolls.

I sometimes wonder whether or not they are worthy of the argument.

I have better things to do than argue with someone that already has a closed mind. Maybe instead of lurking over here, they can use whatever free time they have to raise the level of conservative thought on their site. If people like them would stop the inflexsive race and religion based hate, mysogony and LGBTQ bashing and think about how to make the world a productive, fairer, all around better place, they may become interesting enough to talk to.
