A former Republican's awakening about voter ID laws.

fattigermaster, our main rule here is “Don’t be a jerk,” and those last couple of posts don’t meet that standard. I suggest you discuss the issue rather than posting broad stereotypes without facts.

It seems the unwritten rule is “don’t speak conservative opinions”, and now that I’m aware of it, I would appreciate your deleting my account at your earliest convenience.

Reposted for the lols…

Bricker managed to defend these laws for two pages in this thread (and in many others) without posting garbage about crackheads and without being sanctioned by the mods. I don’t usually do bans on request, but what the heck- you persuaded me.

To be fair we are a lot more tolerant of crackpot liberals than crackpot conservatives. Crackpot liberals largely get ignored while crackpot conservatives get attacked.

It takes a particularly clear thinking conservative to survive on these boards, we have several liberals with very muddy thinking.

With that said, at least a clear thinking conservative can survive on these boards, the opposite has not been my experience on conservative boards.

BTW, is there a term for someone who only makes it one day on SDMB before getting banned?

Banned on the run?

Martyr-complexioned American.

That’s the PC term. Interestingly, it doesn’t even matter if the bannee was American.

Hmm… I think I have to agree with this post in its entirety. Well said.
