I wonder how many posters in this thread 10 years ago during the Bush presidency complained about how the US national debt was too high. That was a pretty popular opinion back then.

If someone has archives (I don't), I bet they'd find some interesting stuff . . .

This wouldn't be a problem if Asdf32 would actually take pains to correct the misunderstandings and explain his contrarian position. But instead he just reiterates his premises (e.g. "austerity means decreasing the deficit"), sits astride his I'm-technically-correct-which-is-the-best-kind-of-correct high horse, and watches the thread get derailed.

I think the problem is more that posters in this forum get upset whenever they encounter someone who doesn't toe the DnD party line. I don't think they understand that someone can disagree with parts of their their political ideology without being an evil mustached villian who holds all beliefs that are contrary to the stereotypical progressive DnD poster.
