Reply #11: I have really good friends who are fundies [View All]

but are they "freeper fu$%s"? What about my cousin, the fundie minister? What about my brother-in-law? Hypocrisy and ideas that contradict each other are endemic to the human condition. I am pretty sure I have my own flaws in these matters. Flip-flopping? I wish they would. To me, flip flopping is a sign of maturity and learning, when you can admit that you were wrong about, say, the war on Iraq, perhaps because you thought there were WMDs that were a threat, and perhaps you can admit that it was the President and his cabinet who inflated that threat, not because they got bad information, but because they demanded bad information, and so on. Far more people should be flip-flopping.

I think Freepers can be like DUers - they/we are activists, at least verbally, who are concerned about where their country is heading, and they/we like to demonize the other side, and sometimes obsess about them.
