Password to the Conservative Underworld
I was wandering around the Net and, some how, entered the website of IDU: International Democratic Union. It is an international coalition of social conservative parties (”The haves and the have-mores”), founded by an older generation of leaders close to the end of the Cold War.
There is a link on the website says “Members only”, I clicked and, to my bewilderment, it asks for password only. No membership ID or anything. Just password—could it be that all conservatives of the world share the same password?
That is so wild! The organization should rename itself to “Conservatism Internationale”!
Not only that, see the stern warning after I typed in the wrong (of course) password:
“Your IP address and the word you typed have been logged (if you have just typed it wrong this needn’t concern you overly…)”
—Sounds just like a security guard at a country club, isn’t it?
