[sufrommich]

:rofl:

I give them 3 weeks out in the wilds before they more closely resemble the Donner party than any delusional Ayn Rand fantasy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. If they eat each other they'll all die of food poisoning.

Eating a freep would be like eating a toadstool.

[lpbk2713]

11. Reminds me of the pic of the python that ate the gator.

I'd love a similar outcome.

[alfredo]

43. Eating a freeper is like eating a tub of rancid lard

[johnaries]

58. .

:spray:

[ingac70]

2. They need to put up or shut up....

with this "going Galt" shit.

[JNelson6563]

3. Yeah, they'll go all Donner party for sure.

Loved how you phrased the options. heh heh

Julie

[smokey nj]

4. So they're not going to leave their moms' basements?

[gateley]

5. Do they not see the irony in this:

We bought our farm in central Kentucky last August. The Fed Gov even paid us $8k for doing it. We can be completely self sufficient there. And even if the $234 a year property tax DOUBLES, we can live there for quite a while spending almost nothing.

[The Wielding Truth]

17. WTF!"Yes. Buy goods from overseas, where possible."How is that

helping anything?

[gmoney]

47. well, they don't want to feed into the US economy in any way

I guess if they buy from a US company, some US employees will get paid and pay INCOME TAXES on the money, and use their salary to buy stuff and pay SALES TAX, and maybe also use their money to pay PROPERTY TAXES. So not supporting the US economy helps "starve the beast" of big gummint.

I believe that's the so-called "thinking"...

[The Wielding Truth]

69. They are killing our country.

[gmoney]

77. "we had to destroy the village to save the village"

[guitar man]

18. Are they taking mom with them?

They will need her to make the cookies and bring them to the basement there too.

:rofl:

[Gold Metal Flake]

57. I guess he's a liberal freep.

[MUAD_DIB]

64. They call it bleeding the beast. It's alright to take, but they don't give a damn

about those in need and won't give a dime.

[gratuitous]

6. See ya, boys!

Three weeks is a very generous estimate.

[HeresyLives]

7. Same ol' survivalists trying to make it sound noble.

[Gman2]

8. We need to establish a few conservacams. Boner, McCornhole, Palin,

Someone hack into Palin's studio.

[WillyT]

9. They Didn't Mean Gestalt Did They ???

"The phrase "The hole is greater than the sum of his parts" is often used when explaining Gestalt theory."

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology

Psst... i may have edited some of the parts of that whole sentence...

:hide::evilgrin::hide:

:rofl:

[lunatica]

42. LOL

What gets bigger the more you take away from it?

That hole you're talking about. Hahahahah...

[Marr]

10. I love that whole concept of...

..."wealthy man drops out of the system to show it who's boss". It's like a tick saying he's leaving until the dog learns it's place.

When Freepers talk about it, it's just sad.

[Ikonoklast]

26. They fail to realize that the graveyards of this planet are full of indispensable people.

That get replaced faster than the corpse can cool off.

If they want to leave, I'd sure wish they would hurry up and do it.



The rest of us would be better off when the 'B' ship full of Teabaggers finally leaves the planet.*














*The Restaraunt At The End Of The Universe reference.

[gmoney]

48. Nice R@tEotU reference

Of course, when the phones aren't sanitized, and that nasty plague breaks out...

[bridgit]

12. Yes, I can see that happen, its an unforeseen byproduct of Mitch McConnell's edict...

two weeks *before* Obama was inaugurated, that republicans simply refuse to go along with any Dem proposals and in particular they such as are Barack Obama's...and the RW/GOP nut-base considers themselves grand thinkers of thoughts :thumbsdown:

[saltpoint]

13. A shame it is that the Republicans oppose competitive price structures

for pharmaceuticals since after the vote tonight freepers everywhere will be in dire need of some serious psychotropics.

[Kingofalldems]

14. And after HCR is passed, I want their guns confiscated

[Scurrilous]

15. Oy Gevalt...

...they're going Galt!!1!

[tammywammy]

16. I love this reply

"We are blessed to have 8 acres, paid for, with a pond. The soil is lousy and we’re too old to be much good as farmers but I do think I’m retiring - less money for abortion funding. I will do a bit of this and that in my new county but we’ll live on social security and our modest retirement funds until hopefully we get an inheritance from the remaining parental unit. So gearing up to sell the town home and a rental or two (of course they will be taxed all over the place) and retire. Yup. Sounds good to me."


They're going Galt by living off of the socialist social security system. :rofl:

[Marr]

19. And waiting on a hand-out from mommy.

No man is an island, but these fuckers aren't even a peninsula.

[smokey nj]

21. How does one pay for something with a pond?

[cilla4progress]

34. You are 2 funny!

Thank you for that!

[muriel_volestrangler]

67. Maybe it's golden ...

:hide:

[sufrommich]

22. Where does one send the social security check to when

one has gone Galt?

[pamela]

59. Yeah that one made me laugh and cringe, too.

"hopefully we get an inheritance from the remaining parental unit"

Nothing like hoping that your parent dies. God, that's sickening. I'm probably going to inherit a nice chunk of money some day and you know what? I dread that day. I hope I'm so old when it happens that I don't know how to spend it. I sure as hell don't factor it into my future plans and I sure as hell don't hope for it.

I'm constantly trying to talk my parents into spending more money on themselves. I encourage them to take trips and tried to get them to buy a condo down South to get away from the Maryland winters. My Mom talks about wanting to leave us money and I tell her I don't want it. I just want them to be happy and healthy and hopefully live to be 100+.

Fucking disgusting freepers make me sick.

[onethatcares]

65. "parental unit", can't you just feel the love ????

I wonder who's typing that, the daughter or son?:wtf:

[onethatcares]

66. self delete, posted 2x somehow.

m/t

[malaise]

20. I love this post

To: Free America52

Nothing like a self-sufficient Freeper. :rofl:

[tammywammy]

23. +1

That was my favorite reply too. :rofl:

[ohheckyeah]

32. What amazes me is that the

irony and hypocrisy goes right over their heads. My brother was ranting about keeping the government out of his life and being self sufficient to which I replied, "you just applied for Social Security and you use the VA for your health care, how could the government possibly be any further up your ass than that?" No answer.

[malaise]

38. LOL

It's always OK when they receive government benefits.

[ohheckyeah]

41. My brother isn't stupid.

Misguided but not uneducated or dumb. He's brainwashed and doesn't even know it.

[ET Awful]

24. I like the ones that say they don't want to pay higher taxes so they're going to

buy stuff from overseas and possibly move there. . . . :rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

25. First they were going Rogue, now they're going Galt. See ya see ya

wouldn't wanna be ya!

[zanana1]

27. One guy is complaining about his $234 yearly property tax!

He wants to stop paying it to show the gubmint he has power! These people must have been comedians in a former life.

[cayanne]

28. Here is my favorite from RobRoy

We bought our farm in central Kentucky last August. The Fed Gov even paid us $8k for doing it. We can be completely self sufficient there. And even if the $234 a year property tax DOUBLES, we can live there for quite a while spending almost nothing.

[Mythbuster]

29. Maybe we can convince them to all go on a hunger strike

to protest the passage of the HCR Bill. :smoke:

[Dappleganger]

30. They're talking about going Amish...

what will they do when they figure out that the Amish are a bunch of socialist religious folks, LOL!

[Dappleganger]

33. This is so freaking hilarious!

To: Sophia777
will the Amish let us join?

Freepers have to band together and get a group discount for joining. We must be modest in dress and computers. It's like joining an Indian tribe except they speak Germanic lingo, are Amish, and have no casinos


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2476320/posts

[Beaverhausen]

60. LOL!!!

:rofl:

I guess they will power those "modest computers" with hamsters running on their wheels?

[City of Mills]

79. Hope they don't try to milk a bull

I immediately thought of the movie Kingpin :)

[northofdenali]

31. The only part of Galt's Gulch that was "real" -

was the fact that it was a FUCKING COMMUNE, Ms. Rand - YOU BUILT A FUCKING COMMUNE!!

:rant:

I know a really neat bus in the wilds of Interior Alaska the freepers are welcome to colonize. It didn't work out really well for the last occupant..........

[cilla4progress]

35. And I really like your sig line -

Ghandi.

(Is that really the bus? Setting does look familiar.)

[northofdenali]

37. Yep, that's THE bus.

I've actually been out there (once) on a hunting trip. I can't to this day begin to understand why anyone would place poor Chris on a pedestal. He was a misguided, idealogical depressive and didn't belong anywhere in a "survival" situation, much less interior Alaska.

That said, I am a huge Ghandi fan!

[cilla4progress]

40. Thanks for your story.

My husband liked the photo. We did enjoy the book and movie. A "wild" tale. Sad too.

[northofdenali]

45. cilla, more than sad - there have been several others try it.

Trying to emulate poor Chris, and winding up either being evacuated in very sad shape or hiking out in same sad shape. The movie made the story a sensation once again. Kids are trying this "lifestyle" on for size, and there are VERY few it will fit. This is NOT the place to try out a self-sufficient life unless your great-great-grandparents were born to it.

One rescued kid thought his laptop would save him. There is not even landline, let alone cell/satellite coverage in most of this state.

The book and movie were good, but no one who has lived here a while (I've been here over 40 years) will tell you that either were in any way realistic.

:hug:

[Zomby Woof]

46. ...and then there are these Gandhi gems

"The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs." - in reference to the Holocaust.

Gandhi never quite seemed to realize that the non-violence he urged against the British would have failed horribly if applied to the Nazis. He urged the British to surrender, and suggested that the Czechs and even the Jews (as noted above) would have been better off committing heroic mass suicide.

If saying his wife looked "like a meek cow" was not evidence of his rank misogyny (to accompany his latent anti-semitism), then consider that she died when he refused to allow her to get a life saving shot of penicillin after she contracted pneumonia. He was, you see, opposed to modern medicine. But not fanatically opposed, since after her death he allowed himself to be treated with quinine for his malaria and allowed his appendix to be removed by surgeons. Nice guy, huh?

Fuck Gandhi. What a charlatan.

[treestar]

54. I agree it did not work in that context

In the context he fought in, it did. It forced the British off the moral high ground they themselves claimed.

[smoogatz]

36. This is what we're up against.

Jesus. Freepers have to be the stupidest fucking people on the planet. I swear to God--is there one of them that's smart enough to get a job scrubbing toilets? And now they're going to wreck the economy by "going Galt?" Excuse me while I laugh so hard I cough up a fucking lung. Yeah, move overseas, morons. As if they'd have you. Join the Amish--ditto.

[Contrary1]

39. No government interference for this one:

"We bought our farm in central Kentucky last August. The Fed Gov even paid us $8k for doing it. We can be completely self sufficient there. And even if the $234 a year property tax DOUBLES, we can live there for quite a while spending almost nothing."

Hypocrites.

[WilliamPitt]

44. "Yes. Buy goods from overseas, where possible."

So much for "Buy American," eh?

Idiots.

[Inchworm]

49. Bwahah

:rofl:

[sendero]

50. I saw a bumper sticker ..

... on a car at work that said "You are not John Galt".

I about died laughing. I've been trying to figure out who's car it's on but no luck yet.

In an event, if every dumbass that threatens to "go Galt" went Galt tomorrow, the world would not miss them at all.

[Stephanie]

51. They're also hinting at violence:

To: kindredspirit

It’s understandable that everyone wants to do this painlessly and without much sacrifice. But that doesn’t get it done.
Remember what 0bama’s wife said. He’s going to move you out of your comfort zone. Well, better you move yourself out before he does it for you. Whatever sacrifice you make, whatever discomfort you face, should at least be your option. And in the end, what it does is thwart 0bama and his plans to bring “fundamental change” to America.
So do it on your terms, and don’t expect it to be easy.

And you, kindredspirit — I haven’t read the whole thread and don’t know your situation, which you may have mentioned already, but it all depends on your present situation. Your age, career, marital status, credit, health...all sorts of things factor in. However, in general...

Some of the first steps I’d recommend include, in no special order:
cut out cable tv and rely on the internet
get the kids out of public school
quit one job if your household has two
sell one car if you have two
pay off the house and the car
buy gold, silver, and lead
get a cheap cell phone that you pay less than $10/month for, and buy the minutes as needed
don’t use credit cards
learn a useful skill that will be an essential one if the country goes completely down the tubes
move to a rural area where taxes are low; you can still buy a foreclosure for a few hundred dollars, you just have to look around

Do all the above and you don’t even need a full time job. You can drive a cab or deliver pizza and get by.

The more radical types have other options but we won’t get into that! : )

:D

[donco]

53. i kinda liked this idea

To: kindredspirit

Plan B:

http://www.LivingInThePhilippines.com

Anyone know anything about healthcare in the Philippines? Is it commie care or what?

[treestar]

55. If the freeps only knew how well we can do without them!

:rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

56. So, they will go live overseas to a country that most likely has a government run healthcare system

idiots

[BlooInBloo]

61. Actually, they're beyond going galt. They're going AMISH!

Not kidding.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2476320/posts

"On this thread and others I hope Freepers will discuss the ins and outs of becoming Amish. I'm not joking. Forget the Jews, the Amish are the chosen people this time around. God has favored them to be exempt from Kommie Kare and I want in on this. Your thoughts and strategies are valued. Legal opinions too.

If I declare myself Amish am I Amish? I think I've always been Amish but just forgot to mention it to others"


HAHAHAAHAHAAHAAA!!!

[Initech]

62. Watching the idiot republic meltdown is gonna be fun!

:popcorn:

[onethatcares]

63. gotta scuse me here, but they're fukking loonies.

by mid summer they're gonna plant gardens, quit their jobs, give up air conditioning, no longer buy fertilizer at home depot, and quit watering thier lawns.


It's gonna be a lean, mean election year for sure. :bounce:

[AnnieBW]

68. See ya!

Might be a good time to arm bears.

[JoeyT]

70. Best of luck to them.

I can't wait to see them trying to offer a sack of turnips in exchange for internet access.

[PBass]

71. ZOMFG, our economy can't possibly survive without their unique, incredible talents

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[scheming daemons]

72. I would LOVE if they would actually, for once in their lives, follow through

The quicker they are out of our society, the better.

[upi402]

73. Here's a brilliant responder;

"We bought our farm in central Kentucky last August. The Fed Gov even paid us $8k for doing it."
Gee, they LOVE taking that soshlust bigubmint money to buy a farm. Idjuts

[dogfacedboy]

74. Nothing but tax cheating, sociopathic scumbags in the Freeperstye. I like...

...the idea of as many of them as possible getting their worthless, un-wanted asses off of US soil as soon as possible. These greasy trash bags have been littering Our Nation and Great Society for far too long.

[HeresyLives]

75. Freepers have no clue what 'going Galt' means.

Literacy is vital.

[FedUpWithIt All]

76. Good news for the environment. n/t
