FOXNews.com - Exclusive: Frank Talk from Barney's Foe - Greta Van Susteren | On The Record With Greta: "Sure. Well, when I came to law school, I was actually a Democrat. My first year, I was the section representative to the Harvard law school Democrats. But I found that my positions differed widely from those of some of my friends and those of the Democratic Party, especially on foreign policy, but on other issues, as well. And I liked many Democratic politicians. I voted for Senator Obama when he was running for senator in 2004, but I was disappointed with the job he did for Illinois.

I still had some hope for him as a candidate, but as the election cycle started, I really was alarmed by some of the things he was saying about foreign policy and about free trade and the economy. So I had always admired Senator McCain, and I volunteered on the McCain campaign, and that was my first time that I was involved in Republican politics of any kind.

And one of the reasons I don't consider myself a Democrat anymore is because whenever you ask a question, you're labeled. You're put into a box. I found that even when I was a left-wing Democrat, as I was -- and I was so left-wing in my undergrad days that I thought Bill Clinton was too far to the center. When I would go to left-wing events, I found that questioners did exactly what Congressman Frank did.
When I went to conservative events, they listened to the question and they gave me an answer. And so I think that that has a profound effect on you over time, if you're the kind of person who's curious about the way the world works.




Although this piece is about how the young man from Harvard was abused by Barney Frank I wanted to quote the young mans background.
This in a very succinct form tells the difference between democrats and republicans. Democrats always blame republicans and actually become quite vicious. They say things like "you shouldn't even be allowed to talk because you are dangerous". They threaten people with physical violence. They demand to talk over you and not allow you to say what you think because it is contrary to what they think. They will do everything in their power to disrupt a free flow of thought and ideas that they do not agree with through any means available. certainly the freedom of speech does not mean anything at all to them when it comes from a republican.

Republicans on the other hand will sit and listen then try to talk to you point by point and reason with facts. But as this young man found out, liberal people like Barney Frank don't like facts. They tend to get in the way of his agenda.
