One last time. That's not what you previously posted. Had you expressed your previous thought in the fashion used above, no one could object. "The Democratically controlled board", "the Democrats on the Board" would all be acceptable. But "democrat board" is grammatically wrong and intended to offend by suggesting Democrats can't be democratic. This insult coarsens our dialogue and diverts from the important issue that is the heart of this thread.
Instead you used a grammatically incorrect form of the word, parroting the ridiculing jibe of a despicable drunk and demagogue, which I understand Mr. Gingirch to his shame, revived.
I happen to agree with most of the rest of your offending post. But stubborn insistence on using McCarthy's jibe is offensive to grammar and members of that party. No one on this thread has referred to the other major party as authoritarian or fascistic, though even many life long Republicans, including John Dean and Christy Todd Whitman, do so today.
Since this blog is not a government sponsored site, the First Amendment Right of Free Speech does not apply and common courtesy does.
Since I agree with you so often I would miss your posting but I can't abide pointless disrespect and rudeness.
