Politically conservative person seeks discussion forum to occasionally engage in discussions with liberals, progressives, and others on the political left without first being subjected to neo-Stalinist diversionary tactics.
A word of explanation - by neo-Stalinist diversionary tactics, I refer to the common practice of accusing every opponent of Obama's policies of being a racist, a disciple of Fox News, or a Limbaugh sycophant. Also, it gets tiresome, when asserting that Obama is a socialist, of being told that "socialist" is code for the N word. I have a dictionary, and I use it. The two terms are not synonymous.
It's not that my sensitive ego can't withstand a barrage of agitprop masquerading as discourse. It's a matter of logistics. I have limited time - not enough to waste defending against baseless charges from ideologically rigid people with no tolerance of other views. A member of my family is a communist - I'll contact her if I need a condescending and contemptuous response to my ideas.
Anyone aware of an internet forum that fits the bill, I'd greatly appreciate a heads up.
