Take a look at Urban Dictionary's definition of Democratic Underground


A Democratic party supporter's website that is a gathering place for politics obsessed misanthropes who seethe with impotent rage at their complete lack of power and control over the American people. The poster's at Democratic Underground all seem to be bourgeois lefty political groper's in various stages of mental illness. Paranoia reigns supreme there, as does self-loathing, hatred of people in general, a strident belief in complex conspiracies which dominate and thwart them at every turn, and a desperate need to believe that all of their problems in life are somebody else's fault.

1. Free Republic 163 up, 23 down
Oh my..

Where does one begin?

Just another whack-job website where contributors discuss the minutae of whether the earth is either 6,001 or 6,002 years old.

Highlights include heated debates on whether Noah included baby or full-grown dinosaurs on his boat and which of the dinosaurs that man co-existed with back in the day were the best to serve up with grits for breakfast.

At least they're all in the one place on the net.

Check it out. You will assuredly weep with laughter.
I needed to know for my Creationism class what that couple of Noah-rescued T-Rexs ate while floating merrily around the world on the Ark during that unexpectedly heavy rain shower. Free Republic was a boon as it turns out that for the duration all carnivores became Vegans and ate only seaweed, rather than the easily available onboard prey.

Free Republic is a laughable collection of (largely and unsurprisingly American) nutters. Best leave them to it.

2. Very conservative website, stopping just left of sites like stormfront. In many cases they are actually like stormfront


4. a synonym for "pigfucking,"

5. An insipid Republican chat room masquerading as a "conservative forum." Also, a lesson in how not to run a successful website.

The only reason anybody pays any attention to us is because we are both capable and willing to end everything for everyone.

Back when it first started, that place used to be tight for picking up slang. But now it turned into a site where a bunch of squares and lames make up bullshit words and definitions--half of which are either racial or sex-related.

Vast arguments are welcome. For example: Someone who is for total government gun control debating someone who is for strict licensing, back ground checks, and restriction on sales of weapons that are considered "Too dangerous," is considered a clash of opposing opinions.
