And it saddens me. Here's what I've been able to figure out so far. There are a very vocal group here who will cheer and praise everything Obama does no matter what, and if you dare speak out otherwise they will mock you, berate you, ridicule you, call you names, etc. My thoughts on this are that they are attempting to get people like you and me to get pissed off enough to break some DU rules which they can then hit the Alert button on and try to have us banned. I've seen it happen. Just know that there are many other people like you and me, in fact I'd say most of DU is more like us than the "Obama cheerleaders". Just cause they are loud and mean they think they can dominate threads with their venomous hatred of anyone who questions Obama. My best advice is to not stoop to their level. You can also figure out who these people are pretty quickly and put them on Ignore if need be. I don't usually use ignore, but I've had to do so quite a bit on the Obama cheerleaders. DU is much nicer, friendlier place when you don't have to deal with them. Just my thoughts/opinion on the matter. :hug:
