I usually don't even scroll down when I see the Liberty Lady and the angry eagle. Websites decorated with the eagle tend to let predetermined political/religious affiliation determine their views (and I guess the same is true for the other side), but the headline made me curious enough to read the entire post, and I'm glad I did.

About a month ago I wrote a similar post about my experience with Democratic Underground, which is so obsessed with finding Right-wing infiltrators that any opposing point of view is immediately deleted. Just like I couldn't publish a comment against Democratic Baltimore mayor O'Malley, you can't seem to publish a true conservative view on supposedly conservative sites. That's why I think these large sites are doomed. There's just so much we can stand tapping each other's backs.

Now, for the rest of your post, hopefully the Republicans will learn from 2006 and become less involved with fake moral issues. Elections shouldn't be about whether we believe in God or not. As for not voting for Democrats, I think the problem is not with a socialist, large-scale government, but with the fact that welfare is generously given to big businesses while people struggle each day to survive with no living wage. I feel Democrats are not for Socialism, but for a reversal of this policy.
