I do not understand the mindset of Freepers

[cdb]

the following exchange occured in another forum, far away from here..

His answer to the usual unimpeacable line of evidence:

CDB, you can post the link as many times as I pasted Halliburton. I really don't care about anything it may have to say. I've heard ALLLLLLLLLL the critisisms and complaints about Cheney AND Bush for that matter. It's been what, 6 years now. The bottom line is: Bush, Cheney and the "machine" outsmart their opposition at the polls, which is all that matters in politics. Complainers and whiners usually remain as such.

My response:
******, yes, I guess if winning is all that matters, you are right.

But to me doing the right thing is more important than winning. Admitting wrongdoing and taking the moral high ground is important to me, as is accepting responsibility for mistakes. This is a quality I rarely, if ever, see in supporters of the current administration. Without addressing or understanding the issues or legalities involved, it is pretty easy to say that anybody who complains or doesn't agree is a whiner or complainer. So, I can see your point.

And you won. Congratulations!!

What do they get out of all this? Is it just blind acceptance? "Yep, I voted for them and they can do no wrong!" Is that it? I can't get to the bottom of it. They can't see past "politics" and that actual people die and some people have horrible lives because of these worthless, greedy, shits in offce. WHAT THE FUCK IS IT???

2. Why do you bother trying to make sense with lunatics?

These bastards have no soul. Had one at work today who was talking at another table with other neo-cons saying it's open season on (n word) in New Orleans. I'm telling you these people are sick, stay away from them!

4. I keep trying to talk sense...

...sense or humanity into them... i should know by now, I am old enough to know better, but I keep thinking if I can figure out what makes them tick I can get somewhere... no luck on that front, however..

If you could understand them, you probably wouldn't be here. n/t

5. Mental disease

They need to totally disconnect from reality. Deep down disregard and compassion for fellow humanity, because they have a raving fear of everything and everyone. They compensate with bizarre politics. I don't suggest you do this, but when you scratch beneath the surface of one-- get into their head-- you find a total chickenshit. They think rage and bluster and plain meanness is bravery.

6. Don't FReepers have dictionaries? Morans!

They hate all things Liberal, it blinds them completely. Make absolutely no sense. I am so glad that 'winning' is all that matters to them. Good Job you Morans! The victims of Katrina, the dead soldiers, the innocent Iraqis', the victims of 9/11 and their loved ones, and all the rest who have been victimized by this corrupt administration, thank you! :mad:

7. Ive come to the conclusion that types like these

like to 'wallow in their own shit' and as far as Im concerned they LIKE the smell, too.

I wonder if its a sense that, because they were SO adamant about 'winning' and SO cruel to the "losers', they are quite fearful now of their own medicine. Bullies on the schoolyard do it all the time. I figure that, if folks havent figured thier * loyalties are misplaced by now, they never WILL. Its like a sick club that they are a part of..and like the kids who side with the bully, they figure its better to side with the psycho kid bully, than to stand up to him now, and become a victim themselves..
