I have a new online newletter, just uploaded, which I hope you'll pass on to your neo-con "friends." Let me know what you think.

It's designed for an organization I belong to in Tennessee, hence the addys for TN Senators

1. Well liberalpress.........

I enjoyed it. Most of the info was stuff most of us here had already read but for folks who don't have time to research much, it's a good start!

How often are you putting an issue out? Keep up the good work. Wish I was as motivated!

2. Well...

..It's designed for those who don't really hang out here. I'm a member of a small group in a heavily Republican area who don't have access to a lot of this information. I'm also encouraging them to send the link to the RW friends.

I hope to publish every two weeks, and contributions from you (or anyone else are welcome. Just PM me.

3. One recommendation

Good site, but if you want Republicans or rightwingers to read it, I would recommend not insulting them. They might stay long enough to read facts about what is happening, but if you hurl insults and slurs at them or bush they will disregard the info.

I, however, love it!

4. You know what...

...I thought about that. And it's a valid criticism. But this site is primarily for our side... to pump up our troops.

I have subjected myself to the insults of the right wing for a number of years. The way they say the word "liberal" with a curl of the lip, as if they are tasting something vile. The way I am called Un-American because I believe their President is a homophobic, xenophobic, anti-education, racist rectum with a Messiah complex. In the immortal words of Howard Beale in the film "Network:" "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore."

There is an argument to be made for being nice. You make it. I've given up trying to change Republican minds -- minds that will not be changed, regardless of the facts. Logic is wasted on an illogical mind. My new message to the right-wing neo-cons is this: "I'm armed, I'm dangerous. Hell is coming on a dark horse, boys... and it's riding straight at you! Bring it on."

5. Locking

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics that mention any or all of the Democratic presidential primary candidates are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
