They post some drivel from townhall then discuss it. Some excerpts.




If Obama gets in, securing total power for dems ad infinitum will be the first order of business. In a matter of months, the US will be unrecognizable. Gone.

It's time to man up, stay and fight, not this bedwetting “new America”, nor secession. Fight like men or STFU.

IMHO, one of the problems with our “Republic” was that we give the franchise (voting rights) away too easily. All you have to be is above 18 and have a pulse. In some places, they don’t even bother checking citizenship eligibility. There are a lot of idiots out there—when you combine them with liberals (some of whom are real moonbats), its nearly a majority.

I think Heinlein had the right idea in “Starship Troopers”: only give the franchise to those who have served in the armed forces. If you do that, then (at least) you guarantee that the people making the calls care enough about their country to put their lives on the line for it. I’d sleep a lot better at night if I knew that were the case. Of course, its possible the Vets could start voting themselves big benefits, but I don’t see that happening. Even those who join as liberals may leave as conservatives after experiencing military discipline and gritty reality.

Other variations on the theme are: only give the franchise to people who actually pay taxes. I like this too, though not nearly as much.

So so much more. Have fun with this if you are so inclined. Scary people, and really into movies and tv.

[Guava Jelly]

1. I'd rather eat my own stool

Than read the thoughts of those idiots.

[zanne]

42. But...Do you feel strongly about it, GoPsUx?

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

43. On second thought.

Yea.
I'd never get the taste of FreeRepuke out of my mouth. :puke:

[JeffR]

2. What these asssholes don't get is that there IS a 'NEW' United States

in their image. That's precisely why everything's so damned screwed up now.

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Ain't that the truth!

[Mnemosyne]

19. Word, if ever there was! n/t

[NanceGreggs]

3. ...

"only give the franchise to those who have served in the armed forces. If you do that, then (at least) you guarantee that the people making the calls care enough about their country to put their lives on the line for it."

I guess Mr. Mensa hasn't figured out that if only those who served in the military could vote, no one on FR would be able to. But then most of them believe that being part of the Fightin' Keyboard 101st (permanently stationed in mom's basement) qualifies as active duty.

[Webster Green]

10. I know quite a few liberal veterans (including myself)

There are many on this board who have served.

Where do the freepers get such crazy ideas? :shrug:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

16. I served.

That puts me one up on most of them.

As the saying goes- "Careful what you wish for. You may just get it."

Morans...

[liberalitch]

39. Thank you for your service.

When and where did you serve?
I live in Norfolk, Va. I'm not military but I know what is means. My dad was a civilian contractor on the Norfolk Naval Base for 50 years. While we weren't REALLY military, weren't we? .....our lives were tied together with those of the sailors and marines

[Adsos Letter]

17. I entered the military as a conservative...

and evolved into a liberal over the intervening years...wonder how they would feel about that? Would it negate my combat-arms experience, and my 13 month tour overseas?

[billyoc]

28. You would be immediately swift boated.

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Well that would eliminate Cheney

and of course, Bush, but they all probably believe the lie that he served.

[liberalitch]

40. He was too busy to go and die in a rice paddy with his contemporaries....

You know the poor ones who always die by the 1000's at war.

Circle Jerks: "Kill, kill, kill kill the poor."

[LynnTheDem]

5. LOVE this; "only give the franchise to those who have served in the armed forces."

Dear MFingly incredibly stupid freepers...the majority of US forces are NOT rightwing.

Indies & Libs, MFers. That's who makes up the majority of US forces.

And that, like it or not, MFers, is a FACT.

So yeah, let's give them the "franchise".

:rofl:

Rightwingnuts; stupidest MFers on the planet.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

8. How many of them have actually served? Like 5%? nt

[Bluebear]

15. OMG that's rich!!!!

[TechBear_Seattle]

21. Aside from which, the idiots clearly never read the book

Citizenship went to those who completed a period of national service. The military was only one of a great many options for fulfilling that service: one could also serve as a teacher, doctor, forest ranger, fire fighter, road maintenance worker, litter picker-upper, cog in a government-run factory, medical test subject and no doubt a great many other options. Until the aliens attacked, military service was for the losers with absolutely no other skills to offer the country. Also, while citizenship did allow a person to vote and run for office, it also came with a great many perqs such as free medical care, steep discounts if you decide to get a college education and, no doubt, a whole package of other socialist nanny-state benefits.

But of course, such things do not fit with the freeper agenda. :eyes:

[Number23]

33. How interesting!

Thanks for that nice little summary. I'm sure if the Freepers had had time to read more than the back flap on the book cover they would have realized this as well.

If Obama gets in, securing total power for dems ad infinitum will be the first order of business. (From the OP)

Well, at least it looks as if the brush is being broadened. Our Free-ky friends biggest fear used to be that when Obama came in, all us colored folks would get all the perks and power. Guess that one was too much for even them to take for too long...

[freesqueeze]

6. how about this one?

"I've given this topic a lot of thought, as it doesn't seem to me like we'll ever be truly free of the left without violence"

wow, I wonder if anyone at a federal level is watching these psychos? .... never mind.

[LynnTheDem]

41. You know how much Jesus despised us leftwingers and advocated violence against us.

If the freepers could have someone do it for them, they'd love to be the Brownshirts of the current day and see exactly the same people dead that Hitler wanted dead; gays, liberals, non-"christians", artists, scientists...

Freepers; same shit, different assholes.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

7. "Of course, its possible the Vets could start voting themselves big benefits"

Wouldn't want the troops to have benefits, would we, freepers? :eyes:

And why the hell do the Keyboard Commandos want to disenfranchise something like 95% of their membership? :shrug:

[Catch22Dem]

9. I entered the military as a liberal

And left 8 years later as a liberal. I'm now a liberal veteran. Fuck these dipshits. You couldn't DRAG them into military service.

[XOKCowboy]

11. That's the Heinlein priciple that they like? Starship Troopers?

Time Enough For Love, To Sail Beyond The Sunset, Stranger In A Strange Land.. All that love and peace and living together went right over the idiot's head or he just saw that stupid movie.

[Fumesucker]

13. They even have that Heinlein principle wrong..

It wasn't just military service that gave one the right to vote, it was any kind of service at all, the Peace Corps or Americorps would do just as well.

[XOKCowboy]

18. I would wonder if that person ever read Starship Troopers...

I have a feeling their grasp of Heinlein came from this...

[Fumesucker]

20. I expect you're right

Gack! What an awful movie adaptation.

[comrade snarky]

25. I was just about to post the same thing

If that pinhead has read the book (which I doubt) he'd know it's about a stupidly waged war being fought with honor and bravery by the people who actually do the bleeding.

Not that there's a parallel now, oh lord no.

[ThoughtCriminal]

32. I think it's the whipping scene

that gets them so excited. Or maybe the unisex showers.

[TechBear_Seattle]

23. Heinlen had some interesting ideas

Stranger In A Strange Land was one of my favorites.

But to be honest, I rather like the idea of citizenship based on completing a period of national service. Such a requirement would certainly steal the thunder of the Freeper idiots. While I have issues with training to kill people, I would have no problem serving on a fire crew with the Forestry Department or something like that.

[hlthe2b]

12. Fight like men....heh heh

Like they might have to wipe the "nappy" drool from their mouths, crawl out from under the twinkies, Big Gulps, universal remote control, and dead Pizzas-- and try for the second time this month to get those pants zipped up.... Now, see if the family dog won't pull them up the stairs from Mom's basement. PULL!!!!! Yee Hah! Ready for the fight!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Sounds like secession has been a topic of conversation there

with one of the posters rejecting it:

"It's time to man up, stay and fight, not this bedwetting “new America”, nor secession."

[Mnemosyne]

22. I always think of these quotes when reading anything from FR. -

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Nature abhors a moron.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for. As for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage.


H. L. Mencken
US editor (1880 - 1956)

[Marr]

24. Just out of curiosity-- how do Freepers explain the sad state of the country today?

Particularly the economy, since I've seen right-wingers just flat out deny just about every other problem even exists.

Do they have some maze that works back to Clinton, or do they still blame everything on 9-11?

I'd also be curious to know whether any of them is concerned about the imperial presidency police state they've cheered for, now that it may be passed to a Democrat. Too much power?

[summer borealis]

34. They see nothing wrong

... then as soon as Obama is in office, the excat same set of circumstances will be called tragic.

[spag68]

26. A better book for these idiots to read

might be Catch-22, although I doubt they could grasp the fact that their hero's are Milo Minderbinder.

[anonymous171]

29. lol

Milo is a perfect example of the republican/neocon business model.

[Q3JR4]

27. Maybe it's time to revisit

that whole succession thing that we once fought a war over?

[Bobbie Jo]

30. "Fight like men or STFU."

I vote for STFU !1!

...although I don't see the "fight like men" thing happening either.

[Frank Cannon]

38. Another brave call to asskickery...

from the 82nd Chairborne.

[SoCalDem]

31. Um..didn't they already TRY this one back in the mid 1800s?/

:rofl:

[Brewman_Jax]

36. Didn't that come to pass when Reagan became President?

:shrug:

[liberalitch]

37. Only military and ex-military get the vote?!?!?

I work with a guy (the slimy earth science teacher who makes comments about 15 year old boobs) who had the nerve to tell me that he thought that only those who are serving or have served should get the vote.
As the Social Studies teacher I reminded him that Our founding fathers were exhausted of military authority.... AND, denying people a voice and liberty, that isn't democracy..... it's autocracy
