Acquilae posted:General Sherman definitely said it best that it's always people who have never fired a shot or heard a wounded soldier screaming are the ones always calling for war, sending soldiers to fight, and reveling in the glory of it. It's pathetic how it's always people like Freepers who seem to be so pro-military and yet can't see the harsh reality of war. The Death of The Ball Turret Gunner - by Randall Jarrett From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

put a kettle on posted:I think that Freep goes crazy over poo poo like this not so much out of wanting to gently caress her so much as a frustration with how bland she is. They are just so hungry to hate her and she has given them next to nothing to latch on to, I mean, they still talk about that "first time I was proud of my country" bullshit from 2008. It seems like they have been driven so out of their minds about Michelle Obama's inoffensiveness that any discussion about her on any topic results in the same white-noise hate constellation of comments. Like permanently cranked all the way up to 10(11). FREEP is a hyper paranoid echo chamber where being banned for not being in lockstep is an absolute possibility so, if you don't write MOOCHelle or MOOchelle, or "Wookie", someone will shriek like the Body Snatchers and try to get you banned to prove that they are more Conservative than you. If you're not oozing burning white hot anger every second of every day you're obviously a pussy LIEbrul and will be banned.

JediTalentAgent posted:I'm assuming they mean Hillary is secretly in control of Obama. It's part of her scheme for a secret 24 years of rule once she 'officially' runs for President in a few years not just secretly being a puppet master Bill and Barack. Valerie Jarrett, probably. The  types fixate on her as one of the secret masterminds pulling Obama's strings. Jarrett, Holder, and Obama himself tend to be the three senior administration figures that generate the most bile from freepers. It's almost as if there's some trait they share that absolutely loathes...

They were always supporting McConnell, how could you ever support that LIEberal commie RINO homonazi that was running against him to steal away the precious vital fluids of the glorious Tea Party? Then ban everyone who hasn't heard that the guy they were supporting 100% lost.

Psychlone posted:The Death of The Ball Turret Gunner - by Randall Jarrett Suicide in the Trenches - Sigfried Sassoon I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum, With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go.

It's pretty obvious to me that in her mind, if she says it enough times out loud and posts it enough times, it will happen. Almost like one of those daily affirmation things. She is desperate to see her fellow Trun Patroits (not her or her loved ones of course) rise up and murder everyone that doesn't identify as a Tea Partier while she cheers from the sidelines and crams hot dogs and popcorn down her disgusting fat gullet.

Anyway after hearing on the news this morning that our former governor Bob McDonnell and his wife will be tried for federal corruption charges (and their request for separate trials was denied), I wondered if Freepers had anything to say about it. Apparently, no. The only articles I could find relating to McDonnell were from two months ago talking about his staffers lobbying on Medicaid, and from January back when they originally pleaded not guilty.
