I have just one question about our friend, the FReeper...

[Bicoastal]

How can they, on one hand, express so much emotion, sympathy, and responsiblity for the good citizens of Iraq...

...and on the other hand, readily admit to rabid, white-hot, seething hatred of Muslims and anyone or anything related to the Middle East?

So one hand, we have people denouncing Keith Ellison as an evil legislator and lifting high Coulter's message about "Bombing their countries and converting them all to Christianity," but the second the Iraqi people are mentioned, it's time to get all teary-eyed and lug out the "unbiased" letters from the front--these people need us in their country! Heck, they would be heartbroken if we left! We are the great white saviours from the West, come to fix their country! Schools and hospitals are plentiful, and children are laughing in the streets!

This propaganda is contradictory at best, and there's a lie somewhere. I'm guessing your average Republican would love to nuke Iraq and let God sort it out (which I have seen on that site, before they get deleted), but admitting as much would imply that the mission is not going as swimmingly as the President and Fox News says. And it's an ill fit--it's like George Wallace rooting for the Harlem Globetrotters. But occasionally, some ire slips out--some remark that when no WMD's were discovered and a mission of "search and destroy" turned into a mission of "nation building", they all had to stop rooting for USA to stomp the crap out of swarthy Islamofascists and had to start doing their best impressions of the bleeding-heart, third-world-loving liberals they despise almost as much as Muslims.

I just one have hypothetical question: if it was discovered that an Muslim or Arab-American politician had family in Iraq, what would be the conservative spin? Would they be the good kind of muslims (innocent, helpless brown people in need of civilization and rescue) or the bad kind of muslims (evil, satan-worshipping foreigners who despise freedom)? My guess is it would depend on whether they were a Democrat like Keith Ellison or a Republican like John Sununu, and they would just connect the dots from there.

1. Busheviks believe and repeat anything their Party tells them

It's as simple as that. And the 28% who are left are the weakest of mind, with consciences eradicated by the application of repetitious propaganda, the most thoroughly enslaved: and the most easily capable of being a guard in a Halliburton Concentration Camp, of watching while innocents die in puddles of their own urine and shit.

Never forget that, because we may have to face that.

But the bottom line is: NEVER try to figure out propagandized totalitarians. Might as well try to understand the original Kool-Aid drinkers of Jonestown.

They will do what they are told, when they are told. Almost all of the remaining 28% will believe ANY Bushevik Lie, no matter how nonsensical. And at least half of those 28% would murder us with just the tiniest bit of "authority" to do so from the Fuehrer and Party.

NEVER FORGET WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH!

3. Some of these rustics go into the military

And MURDER ANYONE WHO GETS IN THEIR WAY

These are the thugs and criminals, who do war crimes in the military.

I've seen them, they will KILL YOU at the drop of a pin

They are the Lynndie Englands, the Sabrina Harrmanns and the William Calleys

Look no farther for an explanation than in the post I am replying to.

9. Don't forget the Busheviks who whacked Pat Tillman

The man was EXECUTED and any evidence disposed of.

Typical Bushevik op.

10. Tillman's family had their nose on a snoot

When they found out "The Truth of the Matter"

2. yes - they seem to have a loyalty oath - not to our country, but

to their party and their party's leaders - thus the answer to your question is - as you answered it.

4. Please do not make freeper heads explode this early in the morning

They get very confused very easily and this will not help.

5. Good Arabs = Cheap Gas

It's like good blacks are those who know their place, good women stay in their homes...as long as its the white xtian male that is dominant and all else know "whose boss". Total culutral arrogance and ignorance that is the byproduct of decades of stereotyping of A-rabs by the coporate and entertainment media, a cultural myopia in this country that makes many feel this nation's military and economic power is equated to moral power as well. It's a complete ignorance that is encouraged and then preyed upon by "leaders" who feed into these people's need for a black and white world...one of certainty and order...and where they are always superior.

6. I think they say "poor Iraqis"

because they are sure that sooner or later they will all convert to Christianity--and stay in Iraq. I say that because on Yahoo Answers the resident freepers were denouncing allowing 7000 Iraqi refugees into the US-felt they were all terrorist Muslims. I pointed out that not every Iraqi is Muslim and that most of these refugees were professionals--they would be a welcome addition to any nation.

So I say that bigotry is just under the surface of any talk of the "poor Iraqis".

[sinkingfeeling]

7. The whole problem with freepers is their vast ignorance. Iraqis are not, nor have they

ever been, helpless brown people in need of civilization and rescue. Iraq's history surpasses our own by centuries and Iraq in the 1970s and 80s was the most technically progressive, economically sound, and well-educated in the entire Middle East.

[Bicoastal]

8. My sentiments exactly!

People often tend to forget that only a few centuries ago, the Middle East was civilization and we Westerners were the barbarians next door.

The crusaders WERE the terrorists of the Middle Ages--if you don't believe me, look at any account of what they did "in the name of the Lord."
