Does Freep ever hate it when an old white guy gets convicted of murder.
Little Falls Man Found Guilty On All Four Counts Of Murder
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3150105/posts
My FRiend, had I caught the guy red handed, I’d have used my shotgun and blown the perp out of his socks.
I suspect this individual does not value human life as much as I do. Perhaps a person is worth a couple thousand dollars, but we already fought a war over that.
Jesus Christ, RinaseaofDs is insane.
RinaseaofDs should take some time and read the studies on how criminals react to things like capital punishment and possibility of armed victims. He might be surprised.

None of these people spanking their monkeys over this guy murdering the teens who broke into his home read any of the news articles about the case yet they will hold forth til the end of time about it.
Just a week or so ago the same thing happened with a couple of white kids and the Freep thread was loaded with references to "urban ferals" and "Holder's people" before someone told them that the victims were white.

Why not stoning? The other page they were all 'bible says theft is bad!' (let's ignore for the moment, as they do, that the bible also doesn't say to kill thieves but instead gives instructions on reparatory and punitive payments), so why are they in a rush to embrace decidedly non-biblical methods of execution?

To be honest, I don't think that Freepers and ultraconservative/Tea Party Republicans have ever read the Bible past cherry-picking specific passages to support their views. You could give them a passage from the Qur'an that agrees with their views and they'd think it was from the Bible. It could extend to more people too; I went to a Jesuit high school and my class pretty much failed when a theology teacher showed random quotes from the Bible and Qur'an and have us guess which religious book they were from.
That made me curious, so I tried this test.
39/50 ehhhh better than chance, but I'm obviously no Bible scholar. I've never read the Koran and it shows.

And now for some crazy poo poo about comparing this incident to 1984
OP posted:1984 portrays the mind control techniques of group hate sessions. Every day the people were called into assemblies to shout their hatred for the officially-designated enemies, chosen by manipulative officials. Group hatred protected Oceania’s leaders from the people stopping to think about their corrupt leaders. In modern America, we are instructed to all hate the scapegoats chosen for us. I would say “bread and circuses,” but how many people even know what that technique of diversion and crowd control means any more?
Most U.S. college students and schoolchildren were required to read 1984 in their academic studies. George Orwell’s book was meant as a warning. But the modern New Left and Obama’s team seem to take 1984 as a “how to” manual. Recently, 1984 has become the detailed blueprint for taking over control of traditional America and redesigning our society.
America was built on the idea of tolerance for divergent views and opinions. That means that if you don’t like what someone has to say, don’t listen to it. Ignore them. Living on a planet of 6 billion people requires being an adult and mature enough to accept that other people don’t think the same way you do. It is childish to feel that everyone has to agree with you. It is childish to feel upset that someone’s opinion is different from yours.
Fascism begins by riding popular sentiments. Then, once the precedent of thought control is well-established and accepted, the government can start silencing its critics using the same techniques and arguments. Obviously, if unpopular people can be silenced, then you too can be silenced the moment you express non-standard thoughts.
Yes, the NBA is a private institution, not government. But conditioning society to accept the repression of different opinions and ideas is preparing the ground for government-imposed fascism soon to follow.
Thought control is one of the greatest dangers to humanity. It is un-American. If American citizens are no longer free to hold opinions that are not officially approved, then freedom, liberty, and America have all died. Decades ago, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) used to understand that if the most unpopular people are not free to express opinions that most people reject, then no one is truly free. If you can only express opinions that the authorities agree with, then we are all mind slaves. The ACLU’s lawyers defended the right of Nazi’s to march and express their opinion, realizing that freedom of speech affects everyone.

Some really purestrain  in that thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3148204/posts
My favorite part is probably that the keywords chosen by freepers for the article include: "purpledrank; robotripping; skittles; trayvon; tussin". You have to wonder how different the thread would be if the post had a picture of the two white kids that were killed. hates young people in general, and loves the idea that they can slaughter anyone they want in the confines of their home, but there wouldn't have been the atavistic glee at the slaughter of what half the freepers just seem to assume were Amish.

Doctor: Slain Teen Was Intoxicated On Cough Syrup
An 18-year-old woman who was fatally shot by a Minnesota homeowner was intoxicated on cough syrup when she and her cousin broke into the man’s home, a medical examiner testified Thursday at the homeowner’s murder trial.
Under cross-examination by the defense, Dr. Kelly Mills with the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office said Kifer had an ingredient from cough medicine in her system at a level that would make her intoxicated.
Mills said the drug, dextromethorphan, can cause hallucinations, disassociation and an out-of-body experience. Kifer’s toxicology tests also showed the presence of a marijuana metabolite that Mills says had no hallucinogenic effects. Brady had no drugs or alcohol in his system, Mills said

Every time Republicans create jobs, they help the poor.
Every time Republicans try to keep the borders secure, they help the poor.
Those Republicans who think “America First” instead of supporting the multinational corporations that dominate the Chamber of Commerce and want cheap foreign labor, help the poor.
When Republicans replace welfare with workfare, it helps the poor.
When Republicans lower taxes, it helps the poor.
When Republicans stop subsidizing inflated industries, so that their prices are forced lower by market forces, it helps the poor.
When Republicans change tax policy to encourage investment in research and development and small business instead of gambling like investments, it helps the poor.
When Republicans oppose higher minimum wages, it means more money for most instead of some more money for some, and helps the poor.
When Republicans encourage the development of domestic energy production, it lowers the price of fuel, which benefits the poor mightily.
When Republicans create a strong military, they subsidize one of the best systems every created for raising the poor out of poverty.

The least skilled are already being pushed out of jobs requiring the least skills, due to the shortage of jobs available for people with greater skills. A minimum wage of $10.10 will only make that issue worse and push even more of the least skilled individuals OUT of “minimum wage” jobs, as employers will pick more people now already earning the $10.10 because their greater skills can obtain it anyway. Why hire someone with the least skill level for $10.10 when people with greater skills are and will be available at $10.10? They won’t. Thus, the ranks of the permanently unemployed will just expand.

Abortion laws are changing EVERYWHERE on the state level.
Abortion law is not really an issue at the Federal level because their IS not Federal Law authorizing abortion. Just an overreaching SCOUTS ruling declaring a “right “ to one.

I agree with the essential reality Paul expresses here, but he seems to be a little too anxious to reassure voters he's not a 'right wing wacko'.
Maybe he should spend a little more time assuring everyone he's no leftwing wacko.
After all, thats what we're being governed by today and how well is that working out for everyone.

The Supreme Court has its power only through convention and tradition. There’s nothing in the US Constitution that says they have final say on what the constitution means. Additionally, Congress and the president abide by the Supreme Court rulings mostly because they themselves love the federal power grab! Do you think the SCOTUS could truly stand down Congress and the president if the other two branches were adamantly opposed to a ruling? Probably not. The courts get away with all sorts of nonsense because it tends to take political heat off of the president and Congress!
So, what’s my point? Congress and the president, if they had the will, could easily reign in the courts. They do have impeachment and appointment power should they have the will to use it. They could simply refuse to follow the courts, because the courts have no enforcement power. The fact that they don’t simply adds more credence to my point that Congress and the president don’t act because they secretly like what the courts do!
I will grant that some politicians support Supreme Court rulings out of fear of the chaos that could ensue if the court was simply ignored. However, I really do believe most politicians secretly like courts to act as super legislators. I’d love to see evidence to the contrary and try to keep an open mind, but if politicians were truly opposed to all the anti-constitutional nonsense spewing from the courts, why isn’t there more outrage and condemnation of the courts from our political leaders?

Yeah, it's just another example of how Freep doesn't understand the cause-and-effect principle. Yes, in no way would obliterating the two largest economic centers in the country affect the "heartland"!
Well that's not what I mean. If you detonated two smaller EMPs over both coasts, all of the heartland would get fried by at least one of them, and some parts would get hit doubly. And if the strikes weren't done at the same time, additional things would be hit by the second EMP that would have been by happenstance shielded from the first EMP.

These are people who think that Texas or Alaska seceding from the United States would somehow get to keep all that wonderful military equipment they're borrowing from Uncle Sam, so it's no surprise that they think they can function without the rest of the country.
Well last time around the Secretary of War intentionally dispersed the regular army on the eve of secession and moved many arsenals as far south as he could so that the Confederates could more easily seize them. They probably figure something similar will happen with CWII.

Torture is totally fine guys.
That part of training was called "resisting torture"
It's not even that bad, really. If you've ever sneezed, you've been through worse.
I really try not to get angry at the Freep thread, but I just want anyone who publicly argues that water boarding isn't torture to put themselves through it and see what they think. At least Hitchens and Mancow put their money where their mouth was and did it. And surprise, surprise, they came out of it with a different perspective. And that was in a controlled, non-threatening environment, not after having been abducted and taken halfway around the world.
It's just so blindered and ignorant and hateful that it gets a visceral reaction from me.

Presumably the idea is that the EMPs would be much lower to the ground, and therefore with less effect, other than, you know, crippling two major economic nuclei.
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and still placing the EMPs high enough to be able to do any damage at all to electronics int he areas they purportedly hate.
It's among many reasons that EMPs have never actually been deployed, effectiveness of them requires you to be willing to mess up a very large area in order to get any effects.

We already know Freepers are cowards who, for all their calls for revolution, would never instigate/participate in one. I've seen people outside of Freep also advocate for CWII and armed rebellion against the federal government/anyone who disagrees with them politically and they keep saying "It's coming, it's coming", yet it never does. Obama only has a few more years left in office, guys! Better hurry up!
Also, I'm guessing in 20 years max, Freep will no long exist because its user base will have died off.

One of the few things John McCain is still right about when he opens his mouth is being against torture, because he actually was tortured. I'd take his opinion on the subject any day of the week than some shitstain's who has never been through it and yet is convinced that waterboarding isn't a big deal.
It's incredibly ironic that McCain's VP pick is so pro-waterboarding. Unleashing her upon the country was the worst mistake he's ever made.
