Is it merit? Or does living and dying here depend on if you toe the party line?

For all the claims over open-mindedness here, if you don't agree with Waters or Arch or AA on certain issues, you're an outcast.

If you really think that is true, then you're not reading carefully enough.

That is just bull. I disagree with Waters often and even Arch on occasion. I have agreed with you and Tex on occasion and haven't even gotten a board mail threatening my expulsion for doing so.

Tex makes a good point here. Wasn't it the Dems and media that screamed loudly about some Dubai company taking over or buying a port authority.

I didn't hear any outcry of religious slurs or profiling.

Democrats are allowed to be bigots, racists, sexist, hateful, warmongers; only Republicans are expected to be perfect and Christlike. When Republicans inevitably reveal themselves to be the scoundrels which all politicians are, they are soundly castigated, while the equally vile Dems stand on the sidelines cheering. Dems are simply better at manipulating the press.

Yes, but the dems are the party of protecting the rights of minorities and are anti profiling, aren't they.

Whenever a repub. shows up soliciting a gay guy or cavorting with a prostitute everyone calls out family values, family values, hypocrites. Of course that cry doesn't go up when a dem is caught. It is all about private life doesn't matter.

Why shouldn't they dems be held more accountable when they show to be hypocrites on something they are known for.
