I don't generally join anything.
In my day I have been called every slur right-wingers have to offer, i wear those insults as if they are badges. I have a great big family with southerners who have very interesting views. Being left around these people in the '60's and '70's, working for sub minimum for Nader (nypirg), qualified me as solid left.
I had also take free speech As our greatest weapon.
For a defense of Free speech in a thread posted here by HOF i was called racist , misogynist homophobic , a bully....
I also participate in Conservative Topix where I am a target of every imaginable tea party attack, and find it a superior status quo. There free speech is honored even if it is crass.
I have subscribed out of a desire to continue participating and recognizing and hoping to undermine the factious nature of DU.

The bad guys control about 48% of the vote
The leftist men maybe 23%
Leftist women perhaps 25%
Together we can win. Separated we are screwed.
The surest way to destroy a team is internally.
Censorship indicates were doing a good job of that

Substitute DU for "Men's Group" and it might make more sense Major Nikon Apr 2013 #3
Exactly. Bonobo Apr 2013 #4
Actually, I think we do them a favor by letting them pretend it's just animus with The Mens Group. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #5
I was going to cut and paste some of the most brilliant parts of the post you just made... Bonobo Apr 2013 #6

TMG is just a convenient target for the frustrations of some Major Nikon Apr 2013 #8
Yup.. and I essentially said as much a couple weeks ago. Only got one response though. opiate69 Apr 2013 #9
Damn, spot on.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Apr 2013 #10
Don't you? Maybe this will elucidate. opiate69 Apr 2013 #15
I don't get it. I posted in that thread, but I don't think it was anti-man in anyway. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #16
Um... considering it is a juvenile poke at the group which you are currently reading.... opiate69 Apr 2013 #17
How was it a swipe at this group? ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #18
Here's how.. opiate69 Apr 2013 #19
Ah, I missed that one. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #20
Now, I'm not accusing you as such, but hopefully people can start to see how they're not always the opiate69 Apr 2013 #21
There is a lot of back and forth between these two groups. ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #22
Yeah.. that is a good outline. I might actually try to mess around in religion again. opiate69 Apr 2013 #23
We tried. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #25
It's now 29. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2013 #11
