LOL, Freepers swoon over Palin's "Berlin Wall" crap while

3. you're correct...
there is no valid comparison between the Berlin wall and the scimpy wall along the US/Mexican border

9. seriously?
a slave state puts up a wall to keep it's people in, and shoots them if they try to escape

a pretty free state puts up a wall to keep people from entering the state (nation)without going through the prescribed process

that's a valid comparison in your mind?

6. No comparison?
A great big wall built to lock certain people into economic servitude? No comparison? Really?

8. I guess I mean that the REASON is not comparable.
Sure, a wall here is the same as a wall there, but the PURPOSE of that wall is NOT comparable. Thats my point. One could say that a wall on the border is the same as the wall around your backyard, right? A wall is a wall?

13. The real reason we won't have the wall is because
of the people here who want a constant flow of underclass people with no rights that they can exploit. But the freepers want it because they see the exploited people as "invaders." The are actually refugees from Reaganomics what is what Mexico has ("trickle down" economy.)

14. They don't get it because they have so many just like themselves cheering it on
It's insanity at its finest. It's so blatantly obvious to watch, but they really don't see how their own party plays them like puppets.

I don't think they've used 7 brain cells over there in years.
