Original message
I got kicked out of the "Freerepublic" site!
It was so funny...I just went to the site for the first time in my life and the posts were so ridiculous I just HAD to join and add my 2 cents. The post I responded to was about embryonic stem cell research and mentioned the Schiavo case. I wrote this:

"Do you realize how many people have their feeding tubes removed every DAY? Do you also realize that if you agree with in-vitro fertilization, you already believe that it's ok to "create life in order to destroy it" since there are ALWAYS extra "embryos" that end up being discarded? Why not use these cells to find cures for people who are ALIVE? You guys who use the Keyes/Brownback theory that embryonic stem cell research is equivalent to slavery better realize that women who go through IVF must then be considered 'slave holders.'"


Then when a poster responded: "I don't think you read the article... The pro-death talking points you espouse might be better received on DU" I tried to respond, but it said my posting privilege has been revoked!

I can't believe so many people can truly be as ignorant as these people are!

1. I'm not surprised!
I had this same debate with my repuke neighbors. They are all brainwashed. It's quite amazing. Please remember that they get their news from Rush and Faux ONLY.

3. Welcome to DU.
and our world were we usually let you voice an informed dissenting opinion without exploding and banning. Usually. (no, really; it's cool!)
You are just reiterating what most of us who have ventured into Freeperville have experienced. Don't waste your time.
Good to have you!:hi:

5. Oh Freepers...
Well, it true that we tend to like logic, reason, facts, etc. here at DU, so your thoughts are well received here, He might as well have told you "How dare you come to our site and introduce these thoughts that undermine our illogical fantasy world."

6. You gotta couch it in their language. Try this:
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:18 PM by jobycom
"Damn straight they murdered Terry. And they murder hundreds or thousands of people EVERY DAY by removing feeding tubes JUST LIKE TERRY'S! Where are our "Christian" leaders then? How can the Republicans be so PRO DEATH ALL THE TIME! It makes me so sick!

And what about in-vitro fertilization. Sure, it's easy to attack stem cell research, but at least that does some good. WHYT DON'T OUR LEADERS ATTACK IN-VITRO?!?! They call themselves CHRISTIANS? They are all PRO-DEATH, every one of them, and every one on HERE is pro-death, too, if you don't support the death penalty for ANY WOMAN who does in-vitro, or has an abortion! There is no right to CHOOSE DEATH!!

Bush is just as bad as the DUmmies! He doesn't care about US! All he wants is to make LIEberals happy. I'm sick that I voted for that MURDERER! SICK! I hope the Reverend Dobson runs next time. If not, I won't vote again, not for those killers! They will use me no more for their sick greed."

Only misspell a bunch of stuff and try not to use punctuation. They could tell you were a DUer because you could actually write.

I was going to say that your post didn't have enough misspellings to be accepted over there. Plus you need to tweak the grammar down to about a third grade level.

You people are the dumbest people on this Earth. You disgust me!



I am not surprised that you were banned. If any one shows the slightest bit of intelligence the main freeper bans you.

17. I got bumped for trying to argue Science with them
They were discussing how an abortion is NEVER necessary to save the life of the mother. Right. :sarcasm: A couple of Freepers mentioned an ectopic pregnancy as once case where it was necessary.

One Dr. Einstein adamantly posted, "No, that is not necessary either." She went on to proscribe BED REST until the pregnancy reached 22 WEEKS and then an emergency Cesarean could be done. Then the baby would be old enough to survive.

Well, as somebody who had a 5 week tubal pregnancy burst, with subsequent internal bleeding, I went on to answer her. I gave her information on the size of a fallopian tube, how it cannot stretch like the uterus, etc. etc. All I did was list the medical facts. I was booted from the site.

I guess they want to keep the sheep blind and ignorant.

I guess it takes a lot of hard work to create and sustain such ignorance, intolerance, and hatred.

They don't wish to jeopardize all that with facts.

24. Are there kids on free republic or adults
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:58 PM by DanCa
From what I read on DU that's the mindset on FR is that of an 11 year old on a sugar high. I wont go there myself. I will just loose my temper and waste energy. I was just wondering if there kids writting that crap on FR or is it adults on freeperville. And if they are adults can we get them proffessional help?

then they sure hide it. I mean, we probably have some kids here too (looks around nervously) but at least they act like adults.

26. They sure have a crappy site over there
for as much money as they throw Robinson's way. You can only do searches by words found within the titles of the threads.

Probably just as well, I guess. If you could search within the comments, you would have to know how to misspell words as well as they do. If you typed the word "loosers" in, it would return too many results.

I lasted a whole 4 months, and they bounced me for a post after they changed it to something completely different than what I had written.

Loosers...every one of then.

39. Just ask
Why in a repub state (Texas) can doctors pull feeding tubes even if the family disagrees. And "shrub" was the one who signed it. It gives 10 days to find a new hospital which will take the patient. Unless the family has insurance or can pay for it. Remember when it comes down to right to life repubs have it as number one, unless its number two after the money. :sarcasm:

41. How Dare You???!!!
How dare you imply there are other people with feeding tubes?

Schiavo was the Chosen One! You cheapen the sanctity of her dead by pretending there are other people with are sick and with feeding tubes. You probably herd that on one of your librul media. Go back to your librul commie cave, you disgust me! (I will pray for you)

52. I lurk over there frequently
But rarely if ever post.

About the only time I post is if its a local (Mississippi) issue, or on the whole evolution thing.

During the entire shiavo mess, they had a lot of posters go both ways. That being said, I wouldn't bring it up unless you had a long term membership overthere. Say 6 months at least.

56. I posted Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" speech on FR
It was my first post and I was immediately banned.

And I really laugh at the sheer hypocrisy of hard right wingers calling themselves "Pro-life" when they enthusiastically support unholy abortions of wars such as Eeraq and no doubt every other military misadventure Dubya takes America on.

...then FR is.

I know people get blocked & banned from this site for various reasons, but I'm pretty sure that citing medical *fact* isn't one of them.
