In reply to the discussion: BOG Statement of Purpose [View all]patrice
(47,992 posts)38. Is this one of those "refuge" group/forums? I don't know how much more of DU
I can stand and yet, I don't want to surrender it to what it looks like is going on here: anti-Solidarity/anti-Labor, anti-health care, anti-Democratic.
1st: OF COURSE the President should stand to our evaluations of him, especially the negative stuff, but the spirit of what is going on here at DU appears to be trending toward toxic and MEAN.
So many VITAL issues are on the table and all most of this board can do is rip and tear on President Obama, maybe all of the interaction and effects between ALL of the issues is WHY they are trying to destroy him.
I'm feeling hopeless.

I should have joined BOG the minute it was formed. GD has become a nest of vipers.
