Who? You must be imagining things, Bush only had one term then it was Clinton who was the most liberal commie ever, then nothing else happened, then Obama did 9/11ghazi and was the most liberal commie ever.

Crossposting this from CSPAM (post in CSPAM!), because good lord if this woman isn't a Freeper, she might as well be.

quote:

In a living room in western Pennsylvania, the Republican National Convention was on TV, and Melanie Austin was getting impatient.

“Who’s that guy?” she said, watching some billionaire talk about prosperity and tolerance. “Prosperity and tolerance? Forget that sh--.”

She lit a cigarette. Her boyfriend, Kevin Lisovich, was next to her on the couch, drifting to sleep, a pillow over his head. On the ottoman was her cellphone, her notes on the speakers so far — “LOCK HER UP!!” she had written — and the anti-anxiety pills she kept in a silver vial on her keychain.

She was a 52-year-old woman who had worked 20 years for the railroad, had once been a Democrat and was now a Republican, and counted herself among the growing swath of people who occupied the fringes of American politics but were increasingly becoming part of the mainstream. Like millions of others, she believed that President Obama was a Muslim. And like so many she had gotten to know online through social media, she also believed that he was likely gay, that Michelle Obama could be a man, and that the Obama children were possibly kidnapped from a family now searching for them.

It only gets crazier from there, and I could have quoted more or less any section from it. Seriously, everyone in this thread ought read the whole story.

From Insiders say Donald Trump is 'disgusted' by Chris Christie posted by freeper monkapotamus

It's an article from the New York Post, so take it with as many grains of salt as you need.


I find it odd that Trump has more ethical scruples than Chris Christie. I'm not sure if I'm prepared to believe this, and I'm not alone.

I'm not inclined to believe it either, but on the other hand Bridget Kelly is a reasonably attractive woman, and Christie is a debatably-ambulatory hefty sack full of medical waste. It's not hard to believe Trump would favor the one he could creep on over the one that he holds in contempt.

Agreed. Didn't help that a lot of the early histories of his presidency, and the war itself for that matter, were written by Southerners who ~*for some odd reason*~ didn't seem that objective in their treatments.

I'll never forget hearing it called "The War of Northern Aggression" when I went down South for the first time. You shot first, dicknoses.

I was fortunate enough to be able to take a Civil War seminar with Reid Mitchell when I was in grad school (he did a year as a visiting professor at my school), and he remarked that, as a Louisianan, he himself had had hopes of being able to explain things back to all the Lost Causers back home when he'd first started his career, that the main problem was that they wouldn't hear such talk from a Yankee, but might from a fellow southerner. He also admitted that, in retrospect, it was a staggering naive thing to hope for.

Normally, I'd say that I can't wait for the day when Freep realizes they've been had and Donald Trump isn't actually a Machiavellian genius, but they're so loving stupid they would never admit it.

Much like they did for W, they will suddenly remember that they never really supported Trump, claim they were always uneasy about him, and yearn for the day when the GOP finally nominated a True ConservativeTM to lead us from the liberal darkness.

Some will likely go even further and claim Freep was always behind Cruz, who would have been the right choice if only the people's voices were heard.

"Helping people gets in God's way." I just...I can't deal with that. I seriously cannot loving deal with something that is so goddamn literally the opposite of what Jesus preached. I know we talk about Freep believing the opposite of Jesus' words but this cannot be any more of a direct opposite of the teachings of Jesus.

The only one I know of is it Exodus where it states that if you knock around a pregnant woman who then loses her child you get fined, unless she dies from it then you get sentenced to death yourself. And technically, I think you have to have a buddy help you beat her up before it counts.

He's permanently wheelchair-bound due to muscular dystrophy, and I believe he had one leg amputated and had another amputated or nearly amputated due to diabetes. I wonder if he got his chair through Medicaid?

Tricare. He's a Navy vet, the benefits from which are totally different from those the lazy moochers take advantage of to rob HARD WORKING TAXPAYERS etc etc.

His mental decline, which mirrors that of freep itself, really does parallel how his health went precipitously downhill back around 2001-2002. It's really weird to compare how relatively non-insane the place was in the early W years as opposed to now.
