Freepwad: Pilgrims suffered and died because they practiced communism
To: Kaslin
In the opening line of the first governing document of this country it clearly states, "for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith…”

Then they set up the "common store house" and practiced perfect communism and half of them starved to death the first winter. Then they tried the individualistic, capitalistic system and kept the food they grew and they flourished and celebrated Thanksgiving.

:rofl:

2. They are probably referring to William Bradford, "Of Plymouth Plantation."

They usually also wrongly portray this as his "journal" when in fact it was written years later.

6. Jamestown colonists stole corn and they still starved.
But they couldn't/wouldn't do any work because they were gentlemen.

8. That might be the stupidest thing ever written! Can you imagine if they didnt' band together
Did these ignorant one-celled fucking morons never take history?

DO they not wonder why many animal species band together in packs?

Darwin award - this person is too stupid to live.

10. I figured out why all the honeybees are dying.
Bees are inherently communist and the RWers have deliberately killed them.

Damned bees. Need to learn how to be proper free market capitalists.

21. Yet Killer bees seem to be spreading
I guess warmongering bees are still ok in the eyes of the right.

but they're judging the wrong history.

19. Like Roanoke Island, for example.
Then, maybe they'd mysteriously vanish. (I can dream, can't I?)

20. Yep, or their free-market, ruggedly-individualistic practices would pick them off swiftly.

14. Those who survived did so because they borrowed from the socialist Natives
Edited on Wed Nov-25-09 11:32 AM by SpiralHawk
who -- following the example of Christ even though they did not know of him -- did unto others as they would have others do unto them (the antithesis of the Republicon Grab-and-Gobble Greed Gospel).

Community, sharing, generosity, and gratitude have been part of Native culture for over 10,000 years -- and will remain so unless the perverted polluting wide-stance, public-urinal, diaper-clad, finger-wagging, greed-born, so-called 'Family Values' of Republicons & their pus-filled pack O' anti-decency propaganda somehow propagate total, debased mindf*ckitude.

15. I always assume we have reached the edge of stupid thought.
Yet, they manage to out-stupid themselves. How do they do it?

17. Could you direct me to that thread?
It looks like the crap from Conservapedia is beginning to leech into the groundwater of the internet. I'd love to use this as a follow-up to something I've written.
