I just read a several postings in Freeper-land that said that they were
so relieved that * was back on U.S. soil. Holy shit, can you believe these guys? They acknowledge that people all over the place want to harm him. At least that is my impression. Why do they think people want to do that? Wow.

3. But his handlers seem extremely worried about him here, too
So I guess Murcans hate their own freedom, too, or something. :crazy:

12. I do understand it.
I was raised in rural Georgia in the 60's and 70's, and we were taught that America is invariably right and always has been. There was this weird circular logic -- that we were right because we were Americans, who were always right. I was taught the same thing as a Southern Baptist. Everybody else was just wrong. And we couldn't be wrong, because we would never believe in anything that was wrong.

Hmm...not sure I'm making a lot of sense here. It sounds nutty. But I know it was how people around me thought back then, and my guess is that a lot of people either took the blue pill or don't realize that the red pill exists.

I remember having a "HUH??!" moment somewhere around age 15, and after that, I just couldn't look at any of it the same way anymore.

4. Well...
Acknowledgement of the fact that he is not going to win the world's Mr. Congeniality award is a small step towards recovery for them.But the more important question is: Why do you go there? It's like watching a monkey fuck a bowling ball, going over there. Only more pathetic.

14. He wasn't going to learn any thing. He was probably going to sure up
the next part of the great plan. He doesn't really care to know his enemy he just needs the right of way to take over his next conquest. Don't you know his MO by now?

. The perfect end to a perfect trip...

He insulted his hosts and demonstrated public cowardice...
"SANTIAGO, Chile (CNN) -- Plans for a state dinner for President Bush at Chile's presidential palace were scratched Sunday after the United States insisted on security measures that Chile called unacceptable.
The change came a day after Chilean security guards temporarily blocked one of Bush's Secret Service agents from entering an official dinner.
For the Sunday event, the Secret Service insisted all guests -- totaling more than 230 -- pass through a metal detector, a top level Chilean Foreign Ministry official told CNN. U.S. officials did not dispute this account.
President Ricardo Lagos believed the measure was humiliating for guests, the Chilean official said."
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/americas/11/21/bush.dinne...
....babbled in public like an idiot....
"In a joint public appearance with Lagos, Bush meant to take note of plans for January 30 elections in Iraq, but said instead: "I noticed today that the elections are on schedule for June the 30th."
And Bush said he and Lagos were determined "to bring drug trafficking to bear," presumably a mix-up with his frequently stated eagerness to crush that global scourge.
Referring to the relative innocence of the days before the September 11, 2001 strikes, Bush told executives on Saturday: "We thought we were protected forever from trade policy or terrorist attacks because oceans protected us."
In that same speech, Bush meant to praise the Asia-Pacific Economic Forum (APEC) meeting here, but instead declared: "Our nation is a Pacific country, as well. And that's why the OPEC conferences are so important." "

...and finished up by sashaying around in public with his pants open.
By the way, the look on Putin's face is priceless.

10. Don't tell them W is AWOL again
So far no one seems to know where he really is. Supposedly he finally left Columbia, but there is no evidence that he has returned to the US yet. Poppy was supposed to be going to Ecuador. I've got a funny feeling that W is making some unannounced side trips. Makes you wonder what he's really up to?

God, what a pathetic comic-book-hero view the world. Like he was Spiderman or something.

13. I love freeper typos as an added bonus to their stupidity
From my www.kerrysupport.com guestbook:

Date: 17 Nov 2004 - 17:06 From: Mandy (mandy@yahoo.com ) http://normblog.typepad.com/no rmblog/2004/11/postelection_tr .html
4/11/postelection_tr.html MIAMI (AFP) - Shocked supporters of defeated US presidential candidate John Kerry... are seeking help from psychologists, who refer to their condition as "post-election selection trauma." "I had one friend tell me he's never been so depressed and angry in his life," Schooler said. "I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. Ha Ha what a joke!

Date: 17 Nov 2004 - 16:55 From: Mandy (hidden)
Kerry was an idiot for selecting Edwards to run. Edwards had no plan to run for a second term as a U.S. Senator, according to CNN. His own state did not support him and did not want him in the U. S. Senate. Kerry lost big time due to his own ignorance and issues.

Date: 17 Nov 2004 - 16:51 From: Sam (thian@netscape.net )
Get over it! Kerry and Edwards lost, their losers and so are the rest of you that are depressed and feel that life is not worth living. May I suggest that you still have the freedom to leave this country? If you think you can find a better place live. do it, good riddens.
