Does Anybody Have Some New Coping Techniques?
:rofl: I just had to post this.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2109726/posts

It is a beautiful fall day in Colorado: but I am sitting here trying to decide whether my symptoms are more anxiety or depression, or both. FEAR, for sure. Sometimes this all seems like a dream: how there could exist the real possibility that a Muslim Socialist with ties to a domestic terrorist and an America hating pastor, can be on the brink of becoming our next President: not to mention his inexperience, dishonesty and far left liberal ideas. I find myself being afraid for our country: for our liberties and the democratic principles that we hold so dear. I made the mistake of watching George Snuffalufagas this morning. He and the libs on his panel talked briefly about the election but they kept saying "when"(he takes office) instead of "if" when they referred to Zerobama. Newt(yes, our NEWT) predicted a McCain loss unless something turns around and soon. George Will, who seems to have abandoned his Conservative beliefs of late, just looked depressed. THEN, they went on to other topics..just like there wasn't really anything more to say about the election cuz it's OVER! I want to ask you Freepers what coping skills are working for you right now: Mine are the following: 1. Turn off the MSM, and unfortunately, that includes Fox News, with the exception of Fox and Friends in the am, Greta(she's had great exposes on ACORN), Hannity and Colmes and Huckabee. O'Reilly is totally losing it: he told Laura Ingraham the other night that he has no problem with Obama, not to mention his abrasiveness and the way he uses his hands all the time is creepy. 2. Listen only to Rush, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and Hannity on the radio. 3. Exercise: it gets the endorphins going. 4. Prepare and eat comfort food: I made soup today, 5. Stay on Conservative or Republican websites only. 6. Do something useful for your local McCain/Palin campaign: Make the dreaded phone calls, distribute lit, yard signs and the like. it will make you feel good and you can hang out with like minded people. I would like nothing better than to see those pearly whites of Nobama's disappear in anger and disbelief. And Mabelle has her dress already. Wonder if it can be returned to TJ Maxx! The lobster and champagne at the Waldorf Astoria is what really got me: The BO's are already celebrating! a $350 lunch. Makes me want to hurl. Please advise me of any other techniques you freepers have for getting through the next two weeks. But don't suggest drinking: I gave it up! Thanks, MM :)

1. MM, eh?
Could that be the mysterious Mickey Mouse who is registered in practically every precinct in America? Or perhaps this MM is the MIckey some fool writes in on every election day? Whatever else MM does, he keeps the blinders on tight. WTG, mouse!

6. Oh, go ahead, drink.
It'll do your soul good for you to get plastered and stay that way at least through January 20. Mom will understand, and most likely won't even cut off your allowance, as long as you don't make too much noise going up & down the basement steps, keep the bottles & pizza boxes cleaned up & don't vomit on anything expensive.

10.  Hello.Republicans you have to wake up now. Reality is nor
what Rush and Hannity have told you. Other people deserve to be treated with respect because they are Americans, too, and if you are a good person who doesn't what them to be just like you only poorer with no rights, then you will see they are nice people who are just as godly as you maybe more so in the fact that they believe in the freedom of religion set forth in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution. These other people really know that torture is wrong and these new leaders will not let anyone, even you, be rendered tortured or detained illegally.

Wake up now, little freepers.

Help us make it a better world.A Constitutionslly lawful America again. We need you now, so wake up and learn about democracy and the real reason this nation is so wonderful.

11. Ostrich time...
Only republicans must do number 5 ALL the time. How could they vote republican if they ever listened to an independent news source that documents REAL history and REAL facts.

12. Perhaps, given enough time, these people
will get sick of allowing themselves to be scared to death over exactly nothing. Either that or the constant state of panic they're being kept in will shorten their lives to the point they'll all flame out at a very young age.

I sincerely hope it's the former.

17. ... worst thing is, even in 3 or 4 years when Freep realizes he's WRONG ...
... about all the Faux News Propaganda he chose to believe about Obama, he still won't remove the scales from his eyes and come away from the darkness. He (and so many knuckledraggers just like him) will just find another 'librul' to rage against.

Sigh. :(

19. Try a little drain cleaner and battery acid
and follow it up with putting your finger in a light socket.

20. You might check to see how the German Government in 1945 dealt
with it's impeding defeat by the allied forces. Then do the same thing.

After all this administration has pretty much done everything else the German Government did from about 1930-1945.
(without the antisemitism it now has become anti-Mohammad-ism or perhaps anti-un American ism)

Fascism has many faces, and we are staring face on now to one version, Neocon controlled McCain Palin.

People say God Bless America, but I say God Help America if McCain Palin "win"

24. Dear troubled MM
Here's some techniques that might get you through the next 2 weeks and hopefully the next four years:

1) Turn off Fox, Rush, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and Hannity.
2) Read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety - look up the big words.
3) Read the Constitution in its entirety - again, look up those big words you don't understand.
4) Read some of the writings of the Founding Fathers.
5) Read the parts of the Bible that Jesus SAID ... not anything in the Old Testament or Paul's letters but the actual Gospel, especially Matthew 5:38-48 (Luke 6:27-36), Matthew 7:1-6 (Luke 6:37-38, 41-42), Matthew 22:15 - 22 (Luke 20:20-26, Mark 12:13-17), John 8:1-11 and all the other bits about forgiveness and feeding the hungry and healing the sick and all those other liberal things Jesus did.
6) Read the inscription on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.

After all that, you should be a liberal and you won't need coping strategies until the fascists try to take over again.

If you're still a freeper after all that exposure, suffer.
