1. Most don't differentiate between true conservative and neocon. There is a
difference... and the bush budget, along with Social Security is going to cause a big rift.

21. Splendid!! Divide and conquer.
Though God knows, the Dems have had their share of rifts...

But we're not out to demolish the country like they are-- I'd like to think that, when the chips are down, we're united.

2. Did you see the idiot who said, "You won't find THIS president's
wife running for president"?

Hah. True. The woman is so drugged up, I'm surprised she can walk, let alone run.

Then another one of the geniuses said, "Nor will you find him buying a home in New York."

Hah! Why SHOULD the faux Texan buy a house in NY?? He's already got one in Kennebunkport, Maine.

I wish someone would just buy this plastic cowboy a nice hobby horse, and send him back to Texas.

22. It's their mentality-- they can't help it.

3. Anyone interested in a counter attack on
the freepers when they come on DU and just cause trouble? I am getting ready to go to college starting this summer, well, continuing in college, to learn more about computers and how to use them. When the freepers come in here they wreak havoc. I was wondering if anyone on DU had thought about forming a posse to go over there when they do infiltrate DU and do the same to them...

Could we do that? I don't know. Thought I would ask.

4. lol... it was the wrong link?
Oh, well! I was kind of thinking that the infighting looked pretty mild compared to the crap they usually sling over there! I mean, on the original link, all I saw was where they argued a little bit about whether Dumbya was a "good" president, as opposed to an "excellent" president.

May he bring them all the joy they deserve. (evil laugh...)

6. That's what they argue about?
Oh good grief. Don't they argue about issues or anything like that? :shrug: Oh of course, what am I saying? :crazy:

19. They aren't really into issues as much as they are into hero-worship.
They actually have a regular thread about "pray for President Bush". And another one, daily, I think, on which they pretend to drool over how manly and good-looking The Congenital Retard is.

Is it any wonder that people think freepers really are drinking poisoned Kool-aid?

23. Remember: gross cognitive dissonance
They're off in lala land most of the time-- pretty disturbing

30. LOL--"Gross" is right! The cognitive dissonance part
comes in when their god Bush proceeds to ignore what they want from him. For example: they want the borders closed; Bush announces he will give amnesty to illegal immigrants.

Actually, watching their surprise and dismay is kind of fun...

This is the Bush base
Racist, selfish and ignorant beyond words. This idiot is probably stocking guns in some far off place like Louisburg Missouri, getting ready for the race wars, pathetic.

8. One of my favorites....
'EPA, D of Ed, Commerce, Civil rights, etc.. Get rid of those, and I'll be happy.'

My God, have I led a sheltered life. I've never been over there before. Is that just testosterone talking?

10. No - it is hatred and racism
talking. Hatred of people who care for the environment and schools, fueled by Hannity and company, and racism for those who are different than they are, fueled by blatantly insincere remarks such as Orrin Hatch's "I love the Hispanic people!!"

Minorities are only to be used to advance the republican agenda.

It shows you the level of depth and intelligence which Bush supporters suffer.

9. FR...
How the hell does one post or track responses there? The entire website is cobbled together like some kid's computer science project. I hate the layout of the site and even if politically inclined, wouldn't give a dime for its upkeep.

11. I get depressed when I go to freeperland.
Not only is it dank like a dungeon, but some of the people who post there are truly vile.

"and 5.6 percent at the Environmental Protection Agency.
I was so hoping to see that the EPA was scrapped. Shucks, maybe next time."

15. I tried it once and
it was too much like my hometown. Actually it was tame comparatively, but I won't go back there unless the posse idea takes off...

24. I agree... those folks are morally and mentally deficient
I don't want to know what they're saying because, to me, they represent the lowest of the low.

We need to focus on people with spirit and integrity!!

12. Of course they all want a bigger piece of the pie....
...conservatives are no more fiscally responsible than liberals, their priorities are different thats all. Increased spending on the military, more prisons and higher tax cuts for the wealthy. It's also about class separation.

14. They have no idea how corrupt capitalism has become
Income discrepancy is growing each year. Under today's corrupt capitalism, the extremely rich wouldn't be able to exist without the exploitation of the low income.

16. boy they finally got a clue...........
Any dem who complains, portray him as the source of the problem, a big government spender.

Kinda hard to blame the Democrats here, considering that Republicans control the administration and both houses of congress.

25. But you're talking LOGIC and logic has nothing to do with it
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 11:42 PM by ailsagirl
They're not thinking, rational people-- they're programmed.

I wonder if they'll ever wake up??

Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 11:51 PM by FreedomAngel82
Remember they blame Clinton for everything. :grr: Now Clinton has been gone for five years and it's all on their shoulders. Thank God I grew up in my education years in his years. Clinton was the best.

18. I appreciate your monitoring that trash
to keep us informed, but tell me, how do you do it? I read nine or ten posts until I felt squirmy things crawling all over me and ran to the showers. Be very careful...if you see sores developing on your skin, stay away!

issue?

28. Thanks for the edjamacation!
It is just as I thought. Much infighting! Their party is going to go the same way ours did until we started to realize it. Now if only we can get all to see that we need to be united and strong.
