Off Topic, but wanted to say thanks (5.00 / 7) (#5)

I am a newly registered used, but a long time lurker. This is off topic here, but given that the post is off topic and the others are on more specific site related subjects, I just wanted to say (after spending the last 8 hours working on a brief and feeling sorry for myself) how much I appreciate this site and the writing and effort that goes into it. Your statement above saying that you don't allow the dead to be insulted says so much about you. I have grown away from the "great orange satan", TPM and others. I think I was fairly typical before this whole kool aid party began. Like most of us who discovered the on line community, I used to appreciate the connection and the attempt, at least, of the 100,000+ oars trying to go in the same direction and wanted to do my part. Lately as a supporter of someone other then Obama, I can't believe the same community I used to look to for inspiration is the one that is there now.  All the other sites I used to visit have become so foreign to me. Talk left thankfully had remained sane. I see the complete breakdown in community and this messianic desire to protect the figure head instead of what he represents as being so self destructive. I wish I could become excited and enchanted with Obama. However, I believe that the Democrats are on the verge of electing our own version of George W. Bush, someone who says what the base wants to hear and in who they can project their every desire, a clean slate lets you do that, a record, unfortunately does not.
 Coming here is like taking a deep breath and I just wanted to say thank you. I believe there are more like me then anyone realizes,and on behalf of just me (or maybe all of us) thanks.

thank you (5.00 / 2) (#6)
