2. I hope no one answers the zoo
For one, that was me and my girlfriend's first date and it'd ruin a perfectly good romantic spot for me. For another, that's cruelty to animals. They shouldn't be subjected to that.

48. Back under their rock!!
Like all other 'bullies' they will only rear their ugly heads when they think the power structure will let them get away with it. They have no moral fiber or anything close to 'courage.' they are the perfect group to cheer dropping bombs on people's head while decrying suicide bombings as cowardice.

4. Don't send any more freepers to Florida....
...there are way too many here already. Essentially they will follow their leaders, so pick a nice, isolated spot somewhere like the Tundra of Siberia and let them practice their neo-con form of society there.

I really believe that the Enron corporate bastards, including the * family and its Saudi financial interests, have Texas in a vice grip.

46. I think you are right
This state was not always viewed in the justifiably horrible light it is now. I'm ashamed of who we have chosen for leaders, including Rick Perry, a native who has his nose buried far up shrubito's nether regions (and who would have never been elected 30 years ago).

10. Together
Just stick the whole group together somewhere where hunting is allowed. With all the redneck gun-nuts running around that group, the drunken shooting sprees should start quickly. Let nature do its thing.

6. Other.
I want them to go anyplace that is far away from me. Maybe they can all go to "heaven" to hang out with all the rest of the freepers. Can you imagine what an enclosed space with hundreds of thousands of freepers would look like? How long would it take for them to start torturing and killing one another?

30. I agree...
And they have corporate scandals and monopolistic practices and crony capitalism there that makes the Bush Administration look tame.

No wonder Bush "looked into his (Putin's) eyes and saw his soul."

Fierce nationalism and a political party designed to simply vote as the President directs (they really do have an elected dictator, he gets elected and then has the power to do as he pleases)

12. To the bank, to cash their pay checks. Their kids can go to college.
And when they retire, they won't have to go to a depressing, cheap retirment "home" that rips them off for their last penny.

19. My idea: Re-education camps
Edited on Wed May-05-04 11:41 AM by RummyTheDummy
There the Freepers would be taught to play nice with others and stop hating Americans. Either that or mass executions. I have no preference between the two.

27. Your comments are a bit over the top and extreme
Re-education camps? Mass executions?

As much as I dislike them, how in the world would you ever justify such actions?

Every day I become more alarmed by some of the things I read here.

50. "RE" Education camps??? Are you kidding?
Anyone that is still supporting Bush at this point is way to stupid to be "re-educated."

As far as your other idea...I don't think I have ever seen you post something so extreme or heartless before.

29. Decidedly Other
They are citizens of this country whether we "like" them or not. And this is just the sort of bullshit topic that they engage in that makes them so dangerous. So we emulate the behavior?

If this is a tongue in cheek thread, put it in the Lounge. If its a serious thread, then I'm at a loss for words.

39. Its tongue in cheek serious.
Of course we're not going to carry out, even if we could, any of the choices including "other". However, the philosophy of these (freeper) people, as well as their puppet masters, is anathema to true democracy. I don't believe they will be comfortable if and when this country gets back to its true democratic roots. I don't think there's anything wrong with DUers venting our feelings about how far the rightwing has led us down the path toward fascism.

52. "anathema to true democracy"
"the philosophy of these (freeper) people, as well as their puppet masters, is anathema to true democracy." They don't think so -- and like it or not, what other people think matters. It's part of it all.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with DUers venting our feelings about how far the rightwing has led us down the path toward fascism." Agreed. But fantasizing in public about what is to be "done" with "them" when they lose the WH in November can only inflame the most radical of them more.

33. prolly on my own on this...... once again - lol.......
.... but i think the freepers should stay right here - it's their country too, after all, even if they're mostly evil and suck at running things...

after winning the election, and getting america on the road to re-becoming a democracy, i think we DUers and like-minded folk have a huge task - make sure this shit doesn't happen again - we've had our lil fun with an evil idiot at the reins, but enuff's enuff.... we gotta (a) do what we can to get freeper-style people to think reasonably and hatelessly, and (more importantly) (b) inhibit the production of new freepers outta lil kids.....

but goddam it, they're all americans, and i'll be damned if i support making a "better america" by "purging" the "undesirables". they're all fucking desirable.

I'm going to be nice to them. They all need to move to either SC, GA or Al. There are lots of like minded people already here, they'd have lots of company, they should be happy, and WE CAN JUST FORGET ABOUT THOSE 3 STATES IN ANY FUTURE ELECTIONS!

Gee, they'd be able to fly the Rebel flag, post the 10 Comandmenets anywhere they wanted without any objections, pass almost any laws they want.

I live in Ga., and if we could make this happen, I'D be HAPPY to MOVE!!!

49. It will be the beginning of the end for them
And they will know it. Their ideology will begin to die off. A few will hang on, others will turn to alcoholism and petty crime, some will wind up in prison after joining militia-type groups that attempt violence.

But in the end, it will be their end.

56. Comrade Putin's "Managed Democracy" in Russia or Commie China
Edited on Wed May-05-04 03:58 PM by tom_paine
Really, other than a bit of piffling economic philosophy, our Bootlicking Freepers wouldn;t have to change a thing.

They would still be required to unquestionably swallow intelligence-insulting lies. This they are used to.

They would have to change the name of the person who's boots they lick from "Bush" to "Jiang" or "Putin". If Rush or O'Reichley told them it was OK, they'd do it in a heartbeat without question nor thought.

They would be freer to live out their fantasies of brutalizing or murdering Liberals (in Commie Countries, those the Freepers HATE are on the Right...curious...but they would have no problem with hating Liberals no matter which side they were on as easily as a Nazi would have no problem hating Jews, even his own wife and children.


Yep, Commie China or Comrade Putin's Russia. They'd be very happy there.
