I'm having one hell of a :psyduck: moment here. I just saw a thread about a fire in Peshawar, with no replies, and went to check who posted it. "musarratullah", huh, that certainly sounds Muslim by Freep standards. Turns out he's a Pakistani freelance journalist, and he literally only posts local news about Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Freep. And it's just... what. why :psyduck:

Obviously I had to check how Freepers react to news articles about Pakistan that don't work backwards from the assumption that all Muslims are deviltrash. And I'm sad to say that mostly they ignore it.

My parents have come out and said recently that it takes months to see a doctor in Canada. I'm fairly certain that isn't true, but whatever. What's really interesting is that they say that wait times will go up under Obamacare which I don't disagree with, but they frame it as a bad thing that more people are getting insurance (and the obvious solution is to train more doctors). What makes it super interesting is that they don't identify as conservative, but my dad (my mom doesn't vote) has voted straight ticket R for as long as I can remember. We're not white, Christian, rural, or rich and even they don't think ACA is communism. FYGM at its finest, I guess? :shrug:

Just ask her who she blames if her favorite restaurant is so busy she has to wait for a table.

No one is forcing doctors to take more patients, if they decide to make you wait than that is your doctor deciding he enjoys the extra money more than better patient relations.

Also the Canada thing is semi-true. The waits are longer for check ups but emergencies are still seen right away, same as here.

We in general have a shortage of doctors right now, but that has more to do with artificially limited supply by lobbying from the doctor's association than our healthcare system as a whole. However, there has also been a move from individual practices to open clinic style models, so I know a lot of people who just go for a checkup every so often at the walk in clinic. You can wait a few hours, but you still get seen pretty quickly. The only place where we have very large wait times is for specialists, and that does have to do with out public health care system, but that's because you get placed on a queue after getting a referral from your doctor. The queue has a triage system built into it, so the more potentially deadly or crippling our case is, the faster you see the specialist. Honestly, this seems like a fair system to me, and if we wanted to we could even reduce wait times there even more by subsidizing certain specialist choices to incentivize people to train in them. Our system isn't perfect, but when my Grandma was having serious heart troubles, she saw someone within a week of going to the doctor, due to how serious he determined it was. She got the surgery she needed pretty quickly too, within like a month form that point.
As always personal experience beats second hand family talk, thank you much.

I don't think the entertainment industry can even be taken back, since it's very nature attracts reprobates.
But the media could easily be taken back.

Most of the media (print and TV) is controlled by just a few players (5 to be exact Viacom, AOL Time Warner, Disney, Clear Channel and News Corp). Simply have a conservative billionaire (or a small group of billionaires) buy these out and suddenly overnight conservatives would control nearly all media in the country.

Taking back education is a little tuffer but could be done over time. Unlike the entertainment industry, I don't believe that education is intrinsically liberal, if anything I think education is more naturally intrinsically conservative. But the first thing that MUST be done is to utterly and completely destroy the teachers unions like Reagan destroyed the air traffic controllers.

Speaking of art:

Hell, this is “winning” all around.

On the one hand it’s nice to see a creative, rebel-minded and flag-carrying artist that doesn’t buy into the establishment crock. On the other hand, Cruz got a chance to display class and a sense of humor - that’s a drat fine thing to see in politics.

As far as art in general, it’s truly depressing that art was predominantly hijacked by the leftists to further their culture war. I’d love to see a resurgence of both passionately traditionalist art that celebrates civilization-strengthening themes and values as well as independent (truly rebel) art for all the true individualists out there that live liberty.

Hell, speaking of leftist obscenity masquerading as art, there’s a beautiful Spanish park that was sprinkled with obscene statuary depicting numerous sex acts and fetishes, all because the artist “wanted to piss off the Francoists”. Drawing dicks and homosexual sex acts all over public property in order to piss off a conservative isn’t art, nor is throwing a crucifix in a bottle of urine or defecating on a cathedral’s altar.

It’s high damned time for a new generation of artists to push back and reclaim art - be it gallery art or street art - so I’m happy to see this man doing just that.

Hate to break it to you buddy: the only "bennies" gay people get by "shacking up" together is sex and company.

Good to see the old "I COULD live the rich life like those welfare cheats but I'm TOO NOBLE!!" canard stretching its legs into other areas.

That's the part that made it so bizarre to me; I know Freep, like any website, is not a single person and so two people posting opposite views isn't unexpected or anything, but on Freep I notice people happily posting the whole 'Obama/the Democrats/the left in general are just like Hitler because they want to take your guns/make healthcare slightly more accessible/want you to pay taxes' thing, implying Hitler is bad, but then in another thread you can see people without controversy posting about how the wrong side won WWII. Freepers aren't exactly shy about accusing eachother of being liberal plants so it just seems really strange that comments like that don't warrant any real response.
I noticed that there is very little actual back and forth on Freep despite the smallness of the community and, eventually, I came up with a few hypothesis. One is the fact that you really can't "debate" such bullshit positions without evolving your opinion, eventually you'll come upon some aspect which you haven't thought through completely and you'll have to think it through and change it. That's not what Freep does.

I also think it's a general fear that if you call out someone's bullshit they might call out yours. And you can only cite a previous random poster on the same site who doesn't cite anything themselves so many times.

And three, in general, all bad things are the same and all good things are the same. So, if you mention anything, any actual thing in any actual context it's lumped into either "bad" (Liberal) or "good" (Conservative) so the actual thing is irrelevant and ignored in favor of tone.
"Man I hate _______, why can't they be more like __________".
Here you can see the poster clearly means the first blank to be the bad thing so it's "liberal" regardless of the actual word so every poster can agree. And the second is clearly meant to be bad so it's "conservative" regardless. If called on it the answer will always be "Well I don't mean the ______ part of it! Just the ______ part!" Where, again, the blanks are filled in with "Liberal" and "Conservative" where appropriate.

This is how they keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.

Wow. That is so patronizing and condescending. This is the first time I've ever not laughed at the ignorance in the Freep thread.
i can't even put into words all the ways that makes me angry. "See black people? All you gotta do is try and all white people everywhere will ldove you and treat you like a grandchild!"

These people literally believe that the Obamas were living in the ghetto, wearing grills, blasting rap music, and collecting food stamps like, the day before he was elected.

Well, I'm just surprised to learn that the Obamas are the first First Family ever to spend any public money

Except John McCain, Christine O'Donnell, Sarah Steelman, and like every other loving rear end in a top hat teabagger she's endorsed.

Uh I think you'll find that they said "Republican" and by "Republican" they meant "true Republican" and one of the definitions of "true Republican" is "never loses" :smuggo:

I love that Freep is just a race to the bottom in its rhetoric.
Sandra Fluke speaks out about her friend, a full time student, not being able to afford birth control pills for a medical condition.
Sandra Fluke speaks out about her friend, a full time student, not being able to afford birth control pills for a medical condition.
Sandra Fluke speaks out about her friend, a full time student, not being able to afford birth control pills condoms for a medical condition.
Sandra Fluke speaks out about demands the government buys her friend, a full time student slut, not being able to afford birth control pills condoms for a medical condition.
And then all of Freep agrees that the latest one is the truest one because someone else said it so it must be true and that's the new truth. They do this with every issue and its very special that we get to watch it happen sometimes.

I have no objections to Jeb Bush running for president. He obviously has a wide appeal as a potential candidate. With a Mexican wife, and as a man who speaks fluent Spanish, he would be able to increase the Hispanic vote in the GOP column. On the other hand, many in the Republican base find his position on immigration untenable, and would fight him tooth and nail during primary season. He is also a serious advocate of education reform. His support of Common Core, however, will also find many who are in the conservative ranks objecting, since they fear that Common Core represents educational centralism and having the government ram federal standards down their throats.
Isn't No Child Left Behind a series of federal standards?
Also isn't "less strict federal standards" one of the things the Freeper Teacher specifically mentioned as a good thing about Common Core?

Actually, the error most of us make in disagreeing with these companies is that we fire back with anger. The anger is understandable, but their problem is that they don’t even believe their own message.

This is most of the Right to a T: Liberals don't actually believe in things, we just do it to annoy the Right.
They lack the empathy needed to see things from a different point of view, ergo everyone lacks that empathy, ergo not gays who support gay rights are only doing it to annoy the Right.

Yet another example of their world view:this guy hates kiwis ergo everyone hates kiwis ergo the Left is only serving kiwi too punish and control.

It wants to evolve from a place where gays once picketed to a place where they'll feel comfortable going to eat.

B.S. If homosexuals feel uncomfortable eating at Chik-fil-a, it's because of a stereotype created by the MSM, or themselves, divorced from reality.
