we have a pure FREEPER MELTDOWN

[AnIndependentTexan]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1287529/posts?q=1&&page=101

I'm starting to get nervous. I still support the President but I'm a little worried. What if he isn't who we think he is? It's not just one thing. It's just all of these little things together. Islam is a religion of peace. Arlen Specter. Now this.

And unlike many FReepers here, I still worry about the long-term implications of the Patriot Act.

I'm just scared that we're going to get Borked on the Supreme Court.

1. They won. Why aren't they happy.

[frank frankly]

3. WHY DO FREEPERS HATE FREEDOM?

wake up, freepers, and help us stop this nightmare.

[neuvocat]

106. Because they can't stand responsibility.

[tom_paine]

17. Nazis and Busheviks are programmed to feel oppressed

even when they are kicking the shit out of a "Liberal" in the Courtyard at Auschwitz.

That is what makes them so tough to beat, the zealous programming, so impervious to non-Party Spproved Information, the Brutal Aggressor as Victim (which keeps them zealous and working hard for Tyranny).

[Trajan]

35. Hey Tom ....

I hadnt seen ya around .... I was worried ....

Good to have you back aboard .....

[tom_paine]

67. Busy trying to get Kerry elected. But that was a Fool's Errand in Imperial

Amerika.

Like trying to get Trotsky elected Dictator of the Soviet Union 1940.

You just knew Comrade Bushevik/Stalin wouldn't allow it.

Nice to be back, Trajan.

Wake me when the roundups start.

[Dzimbowicz]

50. Exactly

In my area there is an organization called People Of Worship (POW)ministries. They wear their faith on everything so people can see how pious and oppressed they are. As a veteran I am enraged by their use of this term (POW) for themselves. But, Tom, you got it right, they try and portray themselves as the victims as they run roughshod over the others in this country.

[realisticphish]

2. or a troll

:shrug: it's hard to tell, but it does sound like the kind of intros that trolls use here. on the other hand, maybe there's a freeper whos not a total psychopath.

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[AnIndependentTexan]

6. actually it is real they are worried about the mandatory mental screening

They don't care any more.
They know if they lose their seat, the person filling it will also support the agenda.

All the differences between the parties are just window dressing.

42. Did we not try to tell these asshats about these neo-Nazis? It's time

for them to suffer like we have because I feel it is the only way to gain back our country.

[2plus2]

49. Unite

It is not time for them to bear it as we have...it is time for us to band together..use this as common ground and fight, use this to show them what else has been hidden from them. I'm new around here, mostly just a reader, but I swear from some of the stuff I read here you would think that freerepublic.com was full of "them". We've always known that once an issue hits close enough to home for them, they'll start to see things that we see.

[ekhunter]

63. I agree, sounds like a troll to me or they went off the deep end.

[212demop]

87. That's what I thought too.

[intheflow]

4. Unless it's one of us or our sympatico forums

trying to infilitrate doubt into their web site. That's what it sounds like to me--a liberal version of a freeper.

[Erika]

5. Who cares about freepers?

Reality isn't something they do. Grovel, yes. baaah, yes. But they certainly don't deal with reality. Ignore their tripe.

[Mike Niendorff]

20. I'd love to see someone start a "Zoo" forum for stuff like this

As for me, the daily swinging and yowling of the monkeys just doesn't hold that much fascination anymore. Whatever discomfort they may voice from time to time is far too little, far too late.


MDN

[Nordic]

7. if I cared what they thought, I'd go spend my time there instead of here

why people post this stuff on DU is beyond me.

"Look! Dogshit! Really stinky dogshit!"

[MADem]

16. A wise comment!

I share your sentiments...and the dogshit remark was quite funny!!

[Spiffarino]

94. Damn Skippy

As they say here in the South. I have no idea why.

Skippy who?

[saracat]

8. Wow I read that thread! They are sorry they voted for him!

What is the deal? Now they worry about the Patriot Act and mandatory testing? Now????

[Erika]

11. The Stupid Freepers remind me of the Germans who were sorry for ....

backing Hitler. They just didn't get enough info before they cast their vote.

[yardwork]

73. So many people were obsessed with "beating Kerry"

they let their emotions run away with them. They left their brains behind for a while so they could stick it to the liberals.

Now they won and the emotion has worn off and they're looking around at the pile of debris that their side created.

It's a little like a mean abusive drunk having a rampage and trashing the bar. When he wakes up in the morning he feels remorse.

[Swamp Rat]

9. "I'm starting to get nervous. I still support the Evil Dictater...

as long as he kills only libruls and ragheads." - Get your sorry asses to Iraq you little weenie cowards!

[AnIndependentTexan]

27. This one would have gone along with Hilter and believed everything

I can imagine that this is what it must have been like back then in Germany as well when they started to do horrible things to the Jewish people. Nothing but pure hate and igorance. Hopefully if there are sane ones over there it will wake them up to how crazy and stupid logic like this is. I'll be proud to support the name resistance fighters if this is the logic we are facing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now there's a brilliant way to purge all the libbies posing as FReepers...

I will say this once so listen good: EVERY REAL FREEPER IS LOYAL TO OUR LEADER.

This means no questions asked. It's like being loyal to the spirit and not to the flesh - the spirit is pure the flesh is corupt. So even if something sounds wrong to your ears, you have to keep faith that the "higher powers" know the right thing to do.

But this is basic and I don't need to explain this to the real FReeps. Just something for you libbies to understand why are no longer welcome here.

Mods - I strongly suggest you take this opportunity to tombstone all of the uncloseted libbies who got their panties in a wad about this.

[bloodyjack]

10. The guy only has 125 posts, "I STILL support the president BUT..."

sounds like an infiltrator. similar sentence structure/content to trolls who make serious attempts at disruption on these forums (I still suport Senater Kerry but wut if he iznt who we thinks he iz what if he iz planning to escalate fyting in Eyerack and farther alyenate FRANCE etc); but unlike the goombahs who lightly clutter these pages, streetpreacher seems to have a decent grasp of the English language

30. I wasn't careful with my eyes, and plowed right into something scary:

"I voted for W, because of his position on the war on islam... now we are getting the bait and switch... here comes all the social interference programs in our private lives that bill clinton could never dream of passing into law.

Of course I know W is in denial on the war on Islam... But no where's near where kerry the surrender monkey was.

Islam is the primary enemy in our lifetimes. But, the federal government overstepping its boundaries, using the War on Terror is probably the second most important issue that impacts our security."



Maybe this only gets to me because I'm weak stomached, or otherwise flawed...

What scares me most is that government and Christianity both are so foully and openly being perverted by this hateful garbage.

[yardwork]

76. Interesting! chimp merged two groups to support him -

The pro-war racist-libertarians and the anti-war conservative-social reformers.

The morning after the election they woke up to find themselves in bed together with the chimp and nothing else in common!

Pop the corn and sit back to watch the show!

[bleever]

89. LOL! Thanks for the image. n/t

[Cats Against Frist]

93. Libertarians are NOT pro-war

Particularly pre-emptive war, which is one of the doctrines of classical liberalism -- Peace and Defense, only. Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows that this war is for military bases and oil -- Libertarians are VERY, VERY, VERY against this stuff -- yes, even right-wing libertarians -- and REAL ones, not confused GOPPERS who just don't want to pay taxes.

[Old and In the Way]

13. Before we get too smug.........

Did you check out the Democratic vote on Paul's amendment?

Only 1 voted yes......WTF? If there was ever a vote that they should have been in lockstep AGAINST, why not this one?

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2004/roll438.xml#N

Tell me that the Democrats have a strategy here that explains why they want this foul bill to pass?

[They_LIHOP]

32. Ron Paul is actually a GOPper I can handle....

And from Texas, no less! Amazing...

I may not agree with the guy on a hell of a lot of shit, but he stands up for his principles and consistently refuses to mindlessly toe the party line if their platform goes against his deeply held Libertarian beliefs.

If only HALF of our Congresscritters just had Ron Paul's courage and integrity (or better yet, Dennis Kucinich's :)) this Nation would be many times better off. Hell, bunnypants would already be impeached by now, for one thing ...

[eridani]

88. Kucinich and Paul are co-authors of the Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act

--which repeals most of the nonsense. Hasn't gotten out of committee, as you might expect.

Some Texas Kucitizens actually recommended Paul as a VP on the Kucinich ticket, and they weren't being tongue in cheek either.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

14. Hold on a sec. He's worried Bush is too liberal (WTF!!??),

but he has problems with the Patriot Act? Does it not go far enough for these people? It seems this poster isn't sure what to do. Talk about your buyer's remorse.

[w4rma]

53. Some freepers understand liberals are opposed to the Patriot Act.

Some freepers think liberals support the Patriot Act.

It all depends on what the freeper thinks about the Patriot Act. If they are for it, then liberals must be against it. If they are against it then liberals must be for it.

It doesn't help that so many of our representatives in Congress try to confuse their constituents in order to get reelected by voting for BushCo bills. It also doesn't help that Republicans and big media actively try to confuse *any* issue that might be used against Repugs.

[AgadorSparticus]

111. god forbid they should judge the patriot act on its own merits as

opposed to what liberals think of it. i don't ever go over to that toiletrepublic. do they ever talk about issues or do they spend all their time talking about liberals and DU?

[Stand and Fight]

15. Think it genuine.

I don't think these are trolls -- I think the FReepers are getting worried just like us.

[EC]

18. You notice they are wondering

why no one in the News has been mentioning this except Liddy...Ha, I've heard about it awhile back, that * thinks all Americans have some kind of Mental Illness that should be addressed. Texas is the test state, since he was governor, so where have they been? Fox and Rush didn't tell them?

[UncleSepp]

19. Good God, can we take the chance of just turning people away?

If these folks are genuine, so what if they post on Free Republic? What harm could trying to seek common ground and common concerns really do? Why not encourage it? The worst thing that could happen is what, someone says something nasty to someone else on the Internet? Whoopdee doo. The best thing that could happen is that some understanding happens, some humanization, some hands across the Red and Blue divide. Isn't that worth the risk?

I like that statement of "let's discuss this as Americans, and not Democrats and Republicans". IMHO our ship's going down so fast that we don't have the luxury of picking who's going to help us bail water.

[jayctravis]

31. I agree...

Read that thread over there, and this seems to be some common ground we and the freepers can agree on.

Thank god there is some overlap. This is something we can work together on. Requisite mental health screening for students is *bad.* If we're all aimed the same direction on the subject the administration and mainstream media cannot ignore this.

[rndmprsn]

40. agreed...this could be a great wedge issue for the dems...

to seperate conservatives from bushco, but then again, not many dems are speaking out against it...whats going on @ the DNC over this terrible/tyrannical new initiative?

[the other rick]

36. Thank you

AuntJen, thanks for being the voice of reason. I know a lot of 'moderates' who voted for * for some reason or other, but were nervous about doing so (although most DUers seem to think everyone who voted for Bush is a knuckle-dragging Nazi) and they are very concerned about where the country is going.

If we are *serious* about convincing these reluctant republicans to become at least reluctant democrats, we *must* talk to them with the assumption that they will listen (some of them).

Or you can just vent and yell, I suppose, and continue to wonder why moderates don't understand your points.

[realisticphish]

47. this site is not for converting freepers

this site is for US to get together and talk, and to work out problems in our ranks. yeah sure, converting freepers is a great goal, but we CANT DO IT HERE. opening this forum to freeps would begin total chaos, and frankly the site would suck ass. i agree we need to talk to them, but on other boards, in person, wherever.


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Niche]

96. They will never listen coming from Dems...

People need to come to things on their own. That's what I think anyway for what it's worth.

[UncleSepp]

109. What makes "us" an "us"?

If it isn't common goals and common ideas, what is it? I wasn't born with a voter's registration card in my hand and this URL bookmarked in my head. I suspect nobody else here was, either. Even people here don't all agree on all ideas, or even most of them. If some of these folks agree on some ideas, then they're as much an "us" as any of the rest of us. This us and them stuff is part of what got us and them in so much trouble to begin with.

[mrdmk]

68. Dear the other rick

To retort your statement "although most DUers seem to think everyone who voted for Bush is a knuckle-dragging Nazi", this is not entirely true.

A list of why people voted for Bush;

1) Their church told them to do so.

2) People were scared out of their wits with the threats of terror and the (phony) Bin Ladden tape.

3) Not for the country's sake, but for their own personal short term gains. Not that they may have much of a country to use this new found wealth in (which is really scary because many of these people dam well know better).

The "Nazis", as you put it are the ones in power!

[yardwork]

78. DU doesn't turn people away unless they break DU rules

and the rules are fairly difficult to break. No personal attacks, and no blanket condemnation of Democrats or Democratic planks.

I'm sure that plenty of non-Democrats post here with no problem, because they follow the rules. I've exchanged posts with several of them.

Therefore, a person could theoretically post both on FR and DU, as long as they followed DU rules.

[wildflower]

104. I agree. What's most important here is the issues we care about.

Those issues are what led to the democratic and republican labels in the first place.

-wildflower

[m berst]

21. not surprising

Their whole "philosophy" was based on hating "them" - liberals. Now that they have beaten us, the game is up. They are running on empty.

A relative handful of Bush supporters are truly dangerous individuals who have been emboldened by the invitation to a hate-fest the Bush administration and the right wing media issued. I think that most of them, however, still have a spark of humanity flickering and don't be surprised if there are a lot of converts to reality soon.

While many may become more liberal now, many will remain conservatives. Many will remain evangelicals. That is ok. We just want sanity restored, yes? We want church and state separated. We want honest conservatives and principled opposition. We want to live free from fear of them, and can grant them the same freedom, once they put the gun down, so to speak.

Liberal hating allowed them to avoid taking a good hard look at their own lives and beliefs. It was all us versus them, it was a lot of fun - you could bully and taunt and jeer at people with relative impunity and fancy yourself the clever one and the besieged one - but it masked some deep confusion and insecurity. The worst thing that ever could have happened to them was winning.

They have no next step now.

What is the definition of a liberal to the average fr poster? A liberal is anyone who refuses to join in the hate-fest against liberals. That is why it is so hard to argue with them. Any disagreement makes you the enemy. And the whole "philosophy" depends on an enemy. That is all that there is to it.

They hate those who won't hate those who won't hate. This is the equivalent of a cat chasing its own tail. Guess what? They just caught their own tail. Don't be surprised to see them coughing up fur balls.

[RandomKoolzip]

22. I think Walt Starr posted some relevent stuff about this a couple weeks

ago and got flamed for it...Something about NOT filibustering, NOT blocking legislation, letting the Neo-cons gladhandle the whole system, since that will remove their objets d'hate and they'll be, in your words, like cats chasing their tails. They'll have no fuel to run their hate-engine on anymore.

[m berst]

25. I remember that, yes

The right wing reactionary movement is fueled by hatred of others. It can't stand on its own, and draws energy from outside. It seeks to destroy that which sustains it.

[Lorien]

103. "the party cannot survive without an enemy"

one of Bill Maher's guests said that of the GOP several years ago. Just as true now as ever (as so many here have observed).

[belle]

72. I think you're right. Only one problem, though:

That "relative handful" will simply pick someone else to scapegoat, if no one fights back. And the rest of the crowd will, once again, go along with it, because they can't think of anything better to do.

But winning doesn't seem to have agreed with them, no.

[m berst]

102. standing up to bullies

Much of what passes for politics in right wing circles is bullying. I am not advocating that people should not stand up to bullies. I am suggesting that bullies attract crowds - weak and confused people who gravitate to those who appear powerful - for protection and guidance. Attacking the followers drives them back into the arms of the bully. Confront the bullies, yes. That helps the misguided followers see that they are in fact slaves to the bully. Many supporters of Bush are about to discover that a bully will turn on his own followers when he is done using them.

[belle]

105. That's a good distinction. I have to think more about how that would work

[m berst]

108. the barrier

The barrier to successfully standing up to the bullies is not the Republicans, it is the Democrats who preach moderation and fair play and being reasonable. They always put it in hi-falutin language about taking the higher moral ground, etc., but really they are afraid to confront the bullies. They think that we should be cool, calm, and collected as we are raked over the coals and destroyed. That is because they are afraid to experience their own emotions, I think. Those moderates among us compromise our efforts to fight back.

[eridani]

90. That cat analogy is pretty good--

--another animal one would be that they are like the St. Bernard that actually caught the Volkswagen. Now what? We'd better have some answers.

[checks-n-balances]

23. Too bad their cognitive dissonance didn't start fading BEFORE the election

but at least some of them are breaking out of being brainwashed. There may be hope for humanity yet, even in the U.S.

[LiberalPersona]

24. I'm all set

for the first of the many times we'll get to say "I told you so!" to Bush voters.

[Historic NY]

26. Perhaps the freeper mental health is suspect!!

Mandatory testing for Americans Mental Health, interesting, seems like the freepers are worried about giving up their rights. I suspect they are worried about being sent to the looney bin. Didn't the regime in Germany send them to the camps and worse?

Perhaps someone with a freeper account can send them over the edge like lemmings to a slaughter.

[yardwork]

82. There are a lot of mental health issues over at FR, that's for sure

I'm not a clinician, but I have some first-hand experience, and that site is full of all kinds of pathologies, personality disorders, alcoholism/drug abuse, clinical depression, anger management issues, you name it.

There are a lot of sad, sick puppies over there. Most of them probably had miserable childhoods and miserable lives. A lot of them would benefit from good quality mental health care.

Unfortunately, they voted against their last best chance to get good health care. They just voted in the stalags.

[bling bling]

28. I'm almost speechless

I read part of the Freeper thread and now I'm completely confused. How can freepers voice dissenting opinions about the man that "God" appointed to be our President?

My tin-foil-hat is so securely tightened on my head these days that I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm having a hard time believing that thread wasn't infiltrated by Democrats. I haven't read a freeper thread in four years that questioned this administrations' motives. Usually it's just a collective diatribe against anything "liberal" peppered with "God Bless President Bush" remarks.

Go figure.

[belle]

74. Well, it *used* to have more paleocons and libertarian types. Maybe...

now that the Big Fight is over, a lot of the little Bushbots got bored and went back to their Gameboys or whatever, leaving more space for the relatively sane people to post again? Who knows.

[eridani]

91. Paleocons were all kicked out, I thought

See www.whatreallyhappened.com and www.antiwar.com for examples.

38. I like it...

This could be a great opportunity for us to find some common ground and sanity. See something like this plays right into the whole "overreaching" scenario.

Of course many of us are still very tender from our recent defeat, and cooperation may not seem very feasible. But look to the future, and how overreaching issues like this will help us move back to the left a bit.

[kentuck]

39. Listen to what they are saying :

They feel threatened, just as we do. The Constitution is something we all have in common. The Constitution is our friend. Defend your friend.

[Danocrat]

44. Wow, they're quoting scripture and invoking Nazi-ism

It's just too much fun.

[LiberalEconomist]

46. To hell with all this "common ground" talk

fuck them. As for the Dems in Congress, I would have liked it better if they all abstained rather than vote for or against this stuff. The question is, who will be doing the testing? Aren't most mental health people left leaning? Or are they right leaning. I don't know so I am asking. A shining light is that with enough drugs freeper kids will be incapable of voting in the future. Of course I am just spewing bullshit here as you well know. But, I still say fuck 'em (the freepers that is).

[belle]

77. Well, I don't feel like having a group hug, but at least we could be

making the same phone calls they say they're making, and so on.

[Threedifferentones]

51. It's nice to see that even these fools won't support all of Bush's insanit

But it's distressing how many of them are convinced that this idea is what liberalism is all about, and how many insist that some liberal conspiracy, and not their own President, is behind this. I'm starting to wonder if the neocons in the White House really need this law, since they apparantly are already masters at mind control.



3DO

[kiki]

52. THE ONE THING

NOBODY HERE SEEMS TO BE MENTIONING:

Many of the Freepers think this is A LIBERAL PLOT! That's right! Apparently, becuase of their rampant liberal bias, the psychiatric community will declare insane anyone who isn't gay, addicted to drugs or a communist, and get them hooked on Prozac! And also, as crazy people aren't allowed to own guns, it's also a way to work around the second amendment and take your precious assault rifles away!

Pretty much all of these Freepers have been forced to admit that this is undeniably Bush's idea. So, that leaves us with the question: why oh fucking WHY in the 666 planes of hell would Bush want to turn America into a nation of no-gun-havin', cock-smokin' crack-addicted fags? Hmm! Nobody seems to have tried too hard to answer that one. Apparently it's all a liberal 'bait and switch', whatever the fuck that means!

Cognitive dissonance in the muddafukkin hizzouse - their brains must be sizzling by now! De Nile ain't just a river baby...

[Sparkle]

58. I have come to realize these people are just dumb fuckers.

Just like their leader.

[verdalaven]

62. Liberal plot

The last post on the thread accused us of being against this bill because of Bush. He believes we'd support it if it were a Dem president.

All I can say is, wow, the divide in this country is not a crack, but a chasm.

[belle]

79. "Oh."

Really, what else can one say...jesus.

[kiki]

54. And holy shit, I just saw this:

According to 'Robert Paulson2' (sig: "Real Republicans WIN"), George W Bush - yes, that's George W Bush - is "clearly a socialist".

I guess you have your answer. For some of these guys at least, the problem is ALWAYS the fault of liberals, no matter who, or how rabidly CONSERVATIVE, those 'liberals' are...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Sorry, keep going back there, like picking a scab. Every post proves my theory:

"Why is Bush so openly pandering to the left these days? Is this supposed to be some sort of Orwellian "mending-the-fences" initiative?"

When they like him, he's a conservative. When they think he's, oh I dunno, let's say a pseudo-fascist (y'know, the kind of guy that the lying liberal menace has been saying he is for the past 4+ years), he's "pandering to the left" or he's suddenly transformed, for absolutely no reason, into "a socialist". You really can't win inside some of these fuckers' heads.

[Niche]

99. Kiki, brilliant! I've just gone insane from laughing. WTF??

[radfringe]

55. melted down a co-worker yesterday

yes, the numbnut voted for bush* because OBL is a religious fanatic

so I asked him if he thought god appointed bush*, and didn't bush* say god speaks to him? he said yes

then I asked what the difference between OBL and bush* is -- since both claim to have been appointed by their gods and both claim to speak to their gods, both have caused many deaths based on getting their orders from their gods

mouth agape---sputtering---"that's different"

me: how is it different? how is religious fanatism based on christian fundamentalism different than fanatism based on islamic fundamentalism? a religous fanatic is a religous fanatic no matter what the religion

no answer just more sputtering

[Sparkle]

56. Get a load of this crap:

Well, all I can say is that mandatory mental screening MUST be defeated. Who the hell comes up with this BS! This is such a neo-liberal, socialist, "government-knows-best" concept. It's the kind of thing the far left in Canada and Europe will get positively misty-eyed over. Why is Bush so openly pandering to the left these days? Is this supposed to be some sort of Orwellian "mending-the-fences" initiative?

To be honest, I'm damn sure most Democrats in the US will oppose this as well. It's just so freaky! This type of thing belong on the far left fringes of society, never to be seen or heard from (unless you live in Canada or Europe of course).--183 posted on 11/30/2004 11:19:59 AM PST by Trippin

Left wing, my ass!

57. Heh -

Call that a draw (see my last edit).

And as a final (yeah, right) point, I cannot fucking WAIT to see the talking point, the 'meme', that they come up with to neutralize this one. It'll be gold.

Lurking Freepers, please, please save the Free Republic thread somewhere. If, by the time this Act has come into force, you've changed your opinion to "it's for our own good" or "it'll combat terrorism" or anything like that, have another look at the thread and consider that MAYBE your opinions are being swayed by the GOP...

80. Newsflash to Encino Man: "far left" in this century/reality =! Stalinism

[yardwork]

84. As a liberal, it really pisses me off to have them call this "liberal"

Can't they see fascism when it stares them in the face? What do they think we've been screaming about for the past four years? Don't they listen?

The ignorance and self-delusion astounds me. I suppose next we'll learn that the invasion and occupation of Iraq was all a liberal plot. Rumsfeld will be outed as a liberal. Unbelievable.

[Niche]

101. No, they'll blame Clinton...oops no they're back on JFKennedy again

[OutsourceBush]

98. The Nazis are having a harder and harder time blaming things on the

'evil liberals' considering the repukes completely control the US gov. It's is getting harder for their Nazi new-world order Nazi Falwell moonie Christians to say with a straight face 'it's because of the liberals'

[Lu Kang]

60. No sympathy

Those fools got what they asked for.

[crispini]

61. IT'S THE DRUG COMPANIES, PEOPLE!

Follow the money! The RETHUGS are in the pockets of BIG PHARMA! That's why they're doing this. THEY ARE IN THE POCKETS OF BIG CORPORATIONS!

And, I'm not entirely sure that we the Dems are much better. I'd like to think we are.

[AnIndependentTexan]

64. These freeper meltdowns are real!

Look another freeper meltdown post over Mental health screening of kids. They are freaking out just as bad as we are on this. The fact that we at Democratic Underground are freaking out and the freepers are freaking out just as bad as we are MEANS THIS IS A REALLY F'CKED UP.

81. Stopped clock, etc. etc. In their case it's a cuckoo clock. But still.

[Padraig18]

65. kick for dupedom n/t

[AnIndependentTexan]

66. sorry about the dupe I had lost this page till someone on the other page

pointed it out. I don't agree with the freepers on anything. However, the fact that they are worried and we are worried I believe that means something. Normally they would support him on everything. This is beyond rep or dem.

[porkrind]

70. Why is he posting of FReep.commie? Shouldn't he be in the army?

This slacker should be supporting his pResident by elisting to fight and die in the current corporate war. I think he lacks conviction.

[belle]

71. Holy shit. I was gonna say, that reads like a troll; then I read the whole

thread (god help me). There's at least five or six of them saying similar things; just about everyone on that thread, looks like. Buyer's remorse, anyone?

[Cats Against Frist]

85. SINCE FREEPERS READ FREEPER THREADS AT DU

This is my chance to fucking tell them:

YOU GOD DAMN IDIOTS VOTED IN "BIG BROTHER'S BROTHER." YOU ARE A BUNCH OF IGNORANT TOOLS -- TOO BUSY LISTENING TO YOUR SCAREMONGER RADIO GODS WHO GET THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM THE INTELLECTUAL ELITE OF THE RIGHT WING, WHICH THEY PIPE INTO YOUR UNSUSPECTING AND DULL TOTALITARIAN BRAINS. THEY PREY ON YOUR TENDENCY TO THINK IN "BLACK-and-WHITE BY INSERTING "false binaries" INTO YOUR BRAINS, ORWELL STYLE.

THEY DON'T SUPPORT THE FREE MARKET, THEY SUPPORT CORPO-FASCISM, and they USE JESUS TO GARNER YOUR SUPPORT. THEY'RE WORSE THAN THE "SOCIALISTS" YOU CLAIM TO HATE, HIDING BEHIND A VENEER OF LIBERTY, when they are simply RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANS, USING YOUR FEAR, INSECURITIES and INSTITUTIONS to GUIDE YOU BY THE NOSE TO CARRY OUT THEIR NEFARIOUS PLANS.

I'M A LIBERTARIAN and I'M TELLING YOU THAT REPUBLICANISM IS DEAD WITH THIS GOP -- THEY MIGHT DROP SOME TAX CUTS -- BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL GET MORE FEDERALLY CONTROLLED, THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE MORE SECRET, and THE MURDER OF LIBERTY WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS. MY GOD, WHAT KIND OF LIBERTY LOVER WOULD SUPPORT THE PATRIOT ACT??? GET A CLUE. NOW.

ON EDIT: I'M SAYING THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. THIS IS "STRICT FATHER" TOUGH LOVE. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SECOND AMENDMENT, FEDERALISM and SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN COMMON. IT'S OKAY TO SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN IDEALS, but THIS GOP and its INTELLECTUAL ELITE, RELIGIOUS SHYSTERS and RADIO PROPAGANDISTS HAVE PULLED A NUMBER ON YOU.

86. Don't worry Freeple! Help is on the way!

92. Is it time for inter-blog dialogue?

Who wants to volunteer for that job?

[gordianot]

112. You know I have wondered about that.

It is a great idea. May have some interesting results. Get a semi reasonable freeper and DU'er, establish some ground rules. It might even be fun. I bet it would be popular.

Why don't you post the idea?

[OutsourceBush]

97. never fear, as a few Freepers are shocked out of the Bush Matrix, they

will simply be disabled from posting on any of Jesus Bush's moonie web sites.

[ComerPerro]

100. They will stop caring soon.

And, if Bush's policies hurt them or their families, well ... guess what. I don't give a shit!

[Kahutec]

107. Melt down Hell!

We are up against the wall if we can not come together as a nation! Divided, hell, one Freakster ended Dan Rather's legacy!

[shesemsmom]

110. They are finally seeing the light!!!

This is a break through but maybe slow process
