Trolled Free Republic For the First Time And Learned Some Shocking details

Last edited Wed Sep 19, 2012, 04:57 PM - Edit history (1)

1. They are a bunch of racist , homophobic and misogynistic modern era KKK gathering (No this is not really shocking)

2. they actually believe that FOX NEWS Leans to the left .Like seriously .Here's a quote

Without Fox, Drudge and talk radio, I get the feeling we would be watching a narrative where the economy would be in full on recovery, unemployment is dropping and Obama will have created more jobs than all other presidents combined.

If you think about it for a moment, we witnessed and attempt to destroy free press in America, and the left cheered for it. All I can say is Gob Bless Rupert Murdoch, Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh. They are the only thing standing between us and Pravda.


3 And even though they believe they are going to win, they are dismayed and horrified that Obama still has this much support .wondering why he isnt 20points behind

4.They Keep repeating the phrase "Real america " we need to go back to "real america "

5. I used to think the website layout here was archaic , but after going to http://www.freerepublic.com/ their layout like their ideologies and polices are meant for the 1700's

brainwashed people in France and England and Australia actually helped the Nazis round up Jews in their country to send them to thier deaths, thinking they were going to be sent to work camps. WTF?? It's the same kind of mentality and brainwashing that so many Americans are victims of right now because of their racist attitudes. They can't see that they are being used. It is tragic. Really tragic!!

> 50! How did you survive that.

Smaller words: 7 bit bytes. Only used it a few times before we got the miracle of miracles - a TI acoustic coupled modem! 300 baud baby!

Then I went back to grad school. We would log onto the university mainframe at 6:58 AM since the connect-time rates were so high after 7 AM (and you stayed at your login rate no matter how long you were on). I would login, go back to sleep, wake up at 10 or 11 and start typing endless Fortran/Pascal/Algol. And this was not long ago - my roommate & I used a MacIntosh (128K RAM, no hard drive) as a terminal.

That Mac, plus printer & external 400K floppy drive cost $2400 (student discount price). This was considered a Holy Bargain.

I bring up this Ancient Computer History because apparently the repigs over at LeechStateColor website use it

Well, if Eastwood were actually running for some office, his degenerate views on homo-marriage would mean more to me. It would indeed cause me to withhold a vote for him. But since he’s not running, it’s a rather mood point.

hahahahahaha... a mood point. Does this mean that the dumb ass is bipolar, as well as homophobic? And no doubt owns a rifle or ten? I can just picture this jerk in his wife beater shirt, three teeth in his head, spouting his wisdoms.
