I have nothing against mixing it up with Conservatives, and have been known to do so (and also to say "good point" if one is made). Conservatives should of course post here, even if they are currently the minority (it was not always thus). But 95% of DB's posts in WE are just copy and paste jobs of conservative editorials. Where's the value in that? I or someone else could just copy and paste a liberal editorial in response, and we'd just have dueling editorials written by others. It's fine to copy and paste sometimes to illustrate a point, or (better) to provide actual facts and figures that may be in dispute, as opposed to cimply copying someone else's opinion. This is supposed to be the space for OUR opinions, using our own brains, not simply parroting someone else. Wahoo, WilliamK, DAR, and other conservatives here DO use their own brains and contribute something of themselves. In fact, Wahoo at least has (rightly) gotten on DB for making conservatives look bad.
