... our side now doing the same thing we chastise the other of doing. Being "against white men", millions who have sacrificed for the greater good is no better than being against blacks or gays.

I know "white male bashing" in en vogue here on DU, so carry on with it.

Our party is supposed to be tolerant of all types, but in reality there is a bitter racism that unfortunately lives here as well.

And how in the hell do you know WHO is going to be President in 8, 16 or 24 years?

Thread is epic fail!
