Welcome to PJ.. Ben..
Thanks! Always fun to kibitz. Fingers crossed some threads that are issues based pop up, and the Hitler apologist threads wane a bit. But lots of good folks here, too. So looking forward to discussing stuff that my family and friends only respond with stink eye when I bring them up. LOL.
Best regards,

Welcome from another liberal Democrat, Ben. (We've already interacted on a thread or two, actually.)
One fun game around here is to find someone who identifies as a Republican....while they vote for Republicans and advocate for them every day. In the years I've been doing this, I'm still waiting to see the words, "I'm a Republican" from anyone.

It's because they never watch Fox News nor listen to Limbaugh, and all verbatim parroting of either is completely coincidental. But as an aside, Limbaugh is right and Fox News has better ratings than MSNBC or CNN, neener, neener.

Self professed Republicans are a rare breed, indeed. Then again, I never frequented PJ prior to the great crash of 2007. I can't say that I blame Republicans for being in denial of belonging to a political party that had a President (who lost the popular vote significantly) installed via a partisan, 5 vote decision by the Supreme Court, oversaw the most devastating attack on the homeland in the history of our nation, responded by starting a war against the wrong nation, created huge federal deficits by cutting taxes for the wealthy while fighting this war off the books, gutted financial market regulations leading to the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, all the while attempting to "privatize" our Social Security covenant as a final, second term flourish just prior to the crash.
No, I wouldn't publicly admit to being a Republican. I do, however, remember some of these posters from forums that existed prior to 2008, and they were staunch Republicans back in those days. Nowadays, they belong to the Tea Party©, whatever that is.

Hi Ben,
Welcome. I too am in the minority as I am perhaps the only True Christian here. I am also a strong defender of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. I mostly identify are a Reagan Democrat and in today's political climate I suppose that also makes me a Liberal.

Ben, I am a Christian, Liberal Democrat who tries to follow the path of right!
Love thy neighbor is a good Commandment to follow!
Copy that, MaryAnne: boy do I love my neighbor. Jesus willing, her husband will not find out.
