The Freerepublic website is utter crap
I was just checking it out and thinking to myself. WHAT A SHIT ASS FUCKING WEBSITE! It is pretty obvious who in this country has all the creativity and brains. It damn sure sure isn't conservative/republicans, is there a creative bone in their collective party? The layout of the site is a disgrace and nobody has anything creative or positive to say. Each post usually only has a few respondents and it usually something racist and bigoted. They can not hold a candle to DU. Kudos to the creators of Democratic Underground and those that maintain this site.

4. Yes, this kind of hurts the "voting machines were hacked" argument
Something like that would take at least a tiny bit of talent...

6. I have noticed that
They get "fed" issues or ideas by a few, more crafty/intelligent controllers or manipulators. Since a large portion of the Freepies are doorknob dumb, this taks is a no-brainer.

Then, most of them buzz around that pile of feces like flies hoping to lay a few good maggots that will make the crap come alive. They work hard to make fantasy into reality so that they have a comforting buffer or reflection of their own inner state of mind.

Sheeple will be sheeple!

10. Excellent analogy.
They bring ugly things to life (like war, bigotry and poverty) and destroy everything good in the world, kind of like their nefarious leader, who turns everything he touches to shit. Their kind burned the library in Alexandria and destroyed 99.9% of the beautiful art works that came out of the Renaissance. Freeperville is an ugly, soulless, intellectually and spiritually defunct wasteland.

7. I have noticed that too
They don't do anything to improve it either. I have designed a few websited in my time, nothing much. I could have done a lot better, my 16 year old could do much better. It is reall hard to read.

8. My theory is that the website is really there for the
enrichment of Rimjob. He doesn't care that the site is crappy as long as the donations keep coming in from the gullible freepers.
