But who also appears to give such rhetoric the weight a devout follower of religion might give their sacred text.

(the stooge usually named in sequence after Curly, Larry and ...). He has devoted entire OPs to this stuff. Not surprisingly this poster feels liberals appear more liberal than he and it angers him (as do left wingers in general).

He and other Conservatives' constant attacks on the left has led to my finding this site where I had shared thoughts with other left wingers (for 10 yrs in fact) a most unattractive place to discuss anything.

It often appears to me of late that this new group is all that is left of the site I remember fondly. I have subscribed and may begin posting again even if only in here.

Thank you for gathering what is left of the left here in one place so I no longer feel like I am reading a board attached to a conservative think tank like the Heritage Foundation or the PPI.
