Under the Bush Years it was considered to be DANGEROUS to be a Liberal.

Or even a Democrat.

You had the likes of Bow Tie Boy / Tucker Carlson echoing that crap about the latest bin Laden tape sounding like the democrats and liberal talking points implying that we were the enemy within.

They went on and on about a "Permanent Republican Majority".

Bastards.

No, not surprising....the more time I spend here I realize the DU represents the fringe left like FR beaglelover May 2015 #19
