Where’s Dixie. In fact where’s Apacherat, Hacksaw, Becky, Twinkle and a few dozen more ? These individuals are well know conservatives who have disappeared from the \< [usmilitary.about.com](http://usmilitary.about.com) \> forum. Actually they were banned from this left wing liberal military website forum. The question is, why are conservatives held to a higher standard than liberals ? ---
