Well, gang this is my 1,000th post
and I just want to tell y'all that it has been a very enlightening couple of years.

I have learned so much that would never have been possible for me to learn, had I been forced to rely on the Main Stream Media.

I've found a great diversity of opinions, a myriad of personalities, (some I really feel an affinity toward, and some whose attitudes I can not even comprehend, much less agree with).

I'm not the most sociable guy out here, but I consider a lot of you my compadres. My lady tells me I am way too absorbed in the politics of our times, and it is making me a nervous wreck, but the bottom line is I am a Political Junkie, and I suffer from a strong sense of what is right and just, and an unending anger when the bad guys pull ahead, to the detriment of all.

This is the place I come to when I need to feel I am among sane people; people who truly care about others, and wish to help drag our country back from the Abyss.

All I can say is thanks for being here for me, and I am thrilled to belong to such an organization.

Steve

10. I'm glad you are aboard.
We are all so very different.

For instance, I never even noticed my 1,000th post

But for some reason, I was quite obsessed with post number 666!

11. Hi Stephenb and congratulations!
From one 'political junkie' to another.

Just think! I found the DU back in 2003. I was so unbelievably upset about Bush and Cheney that I didn't know what to do about myself.

Surfed in to the DU on a wave of anger. I knew instantly: I'm home. It was so nice to realize there were thousands who felt like me. Of course, now it's in the millions! We've got lots of company.

Glad you're here. :smoke:
