Are you a true patriot?
I have been mad as hell for a long time....a very long time. I never approved of this president and the GOP Congress. I saw it as a huge mistake committed by the American people from day one. I consider myself a true patriot. I believe that our Bill of Rights and our Constitution is the ultimate definition of a true democracy and true freedom.

If it comes to it, would you pick up a gun, leave your family and fight for the true ideals that this great nation was founded on? I've thought about it many a time, if I had lived in the 1770's, right here in Northern NJ,where so many patriots came from, I would have...I would have picked up a gun, joined my fellow patriots, kissed my family good bye and gone to fight for what I believed to be right. God forbid it comes to that again....I would. We are so close to the definition of tyrany under the GOP leadereship, that I truly hope it does not come to that...

I hope they continue to self dsetruct...

1. Yeah, I guess I would.
I would completely alienate almost all of my family, plus my husband's family, in doing so. I don't think I could kill a person, but I would lend my talents in other ways.
I've been waiting for the Revolution for years. When the hell is it going to happen-I figured it would come out of the Northeast and California...but I've been disappointed so far. Trying to foment revolution in Oklahoma is a complete lost cause.

2. I always thought I would do that also. However, at this point I'm
more interested in leaving the country. When the masses figure out what went down it will not be a pretty site. I've had it with stupid people more concerned about taking gay rights away then protecting their own. I've spent most of my life fighting for the rights of women. My policy has always been I will defend the Constitution. Anyone infringing on my Constitution is a traitor. We are way past that line being crossed.

4. I don't know about that....

I am an American by choice. Trust me, this is the one of the best places on Earth. I grew up on three different continents, six countries and had visited 60 other countries by age 17. I saw the world at an early age and decided that America was it. There are some great places to visit all over the orld, but wwhen you take everything into account, there's no place like the Good Old USA.

7. That's the way it use to be. The repubs are destroying the USA
pretty fast. I'm amazed how quickly the USA died. They are not going to go quietly into the night.

3. These crimes are worse than those of King George.
I am not prone to the glorification of war, nor to sentimentality.

I will not go out of my way to encite violence. I will avoid violence. But I will also not be silent. I will not be cowed. I will defend the Constitution. That is all we have. That is what makes America, America, despite the criteria of the majority (Christian, God-fearing, capitalist, white, etc., etc., ad nauseum).

But, to answer your question, yes.

6. I've been a bit sketched...
that I've been being spied on. Now, before you all think I'm nuts, my cell and house phones will click incessantly, depending on to whom I'm speaking. If I'm talking to my husband, it doesn't happen. But I have several good friends that I talk to every once in a while in Los Angeles, and the clicking is insane when I speak with them. I am a historian of Native Americans and of Latin America, typically two extremely unfriendly subjects to the US and its history, policies, etc. I've gotten odd late night phone calls, from blocked numbers and nobody is there when I pick up. I get completely harassed when I go through airport security (I'm as white as they get, for god's sake)-my husband is whisked through security, but my shit is dumped all over the place, I'm patted down and all the while he's got stuff in his bag he shouldn't fly with (a screwdriver once, a knife a few times prior to our marriage). My husband has had difficulties getting in and out of the country since we married last year, but never had these problems before. So who knows. But I have no doubt, NOT A ONE, that they are watching and checking us out.

21. Uh huh.
Even if you're not a spiritual person you should recognize that a bunch of crazy killers are waging a religious war on YOU. If you can't see it you deserve what's going to happen to you.

Oh I can see it alright. You, however, appear to be blind.

27. I do think about what the spread of Islam means
And I worry equally about the spread of Christianity.

Go back to Alabama.

Fundie christians are very cranky about their religion...
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 08:32 PM by cynatnite
it's their enitire life.

Some will blow up abortion clinics and kill doctors.

I don't think they like people who are not christians.

they believe they HAVE to convert EVERYONE to christianity

They are becoming more dangerous because they brainwash their children.

I have grandchildren and I sure as hell don't want them exposed to this brand of christianity. I prefer them to be agnostic like me.

30. U aint crazy just inbred
Freepers are very cranky about their religion. It's their entire life. It's all they care about.

Think 'Free Republic'. They don't like people who are not Freepers.

They beleive when everybody has converted to right wing republican KKKristo-fascism they can quit hating pople.( :wtf: is a pople?)

They are becoming more dangerous because they are using our advanced technology (The Innnernets) against us.

If you have a cousin who is your sister and your aunt, I think you should seriosly start thinking about what the spreading of Freeper love means.
