7. As a long-time poster here, I hate being told I'm "not liberal enough."

I mean, screw that. This is the most liberal community on the web.

We've set up "safe haven" support groups so that participants can tell us how fascist and repressive we are.

Maybe these groups are disappointed that they don't get more support--be it the feminists, or the LGBT, or the Socialists. Okay, fine, fair enough.

But to claim that D_U_ is no better or just as bad as the general society is just total bullshit.

And the proof is that you don't see any of those groups at FreeRepublic, where people really are fascist and repressive.
