2 weekend freeper stories

I just had a freeper encounter at a "family" cookout. This guy is no relation directly. He is a major freeper fundy idiot. A 300-pounder SUV-driving, repuke voting, anti-choice shitstain of the first order. The hostess (my sister) and I have numerous family members who live along the worst-affected areas, from Mobile to Gulfport-Biloxi to New Orleans to down the Delta from New Orleans, so Katrina and its aftermath was the main topic of the day. My family are all fine and gathered in Mobile. (We are very lucky!) They are all repukes, but have done a 180 and blame the bushturd for the devastation, poor response and for letting the disaster become so much worse.

This clown kept asking the group leading questions on all the RW talking points, which I headed off by telling everyone what really happened or is going on. He kept trying to deflect blame from Bush, to blame the victims, to blame local officials, to blame Clinton. It was absurd. He was extremely ill informed, so it was easy to make him look like an idiot. After four tries to preach his putrid puke bullshit to the group resulted only in him being shown to be a fool, he didn't say another word.

I've been avoiding these vermin for a few years, so I had forgotten how stupid and ignorant and bigoted they are. They know nothing but a few Limbaugh-fed talking points. call them on their lies and they either resort to screaming or they shut up. Limbaugh and Insannity predigest this bile for them, regurgitate it down their gullets and they swallow it hook line and sinker. Repukes, indeed.

When he realized that no one believed him, this asshat shut the fuck up.

I realize this is an archetypal fought-the-freeper-and-won story. Sorry.

Yesterday, I was house-huntintg with my daughters. I'm losing my house and most of my life savings due to the Bush Enronomy, so I'm moving way down.

We visited one place that was obviously the home of a freeper. (The reseidents leave while we look at the houses.) Coulter books and rabidly racist and ignorant RW tomes littered the cheap furniture. Upstairs, Faux News was blaring on a TV in the bedroom. I changed the channel to MSNBC. I debated C-Span or PBS, but settled on a station he might not have noticed was different from his usual pablum. I restrained myself and did nothing else. A few, um, juicy ideas did occur to me, but I let them go. Turd is asking at least 25% more than his little dump is worth.

If the remote is handy, can use the parental controls to lock out Fox News? Bet they would have a hard time figuring out how to "get it back".

:evilgrin:

is a brilliant idea

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

Picture freeptard calling the cable company because he lost Faux. Picture cable person coming out to explain his remote to him.

:rofl:

I was discussing the whole shebang on another forum ripe with right-wingers. When I started discussing disaster planning and execution I was attacked left and right, the problem is that I know what I'm talking about since I did disaster planning for 10 years for my home country before moving to the US and trust me, I blame Biush for alot, but the only thing he can be blamed for is slow response time, but that is just a minor part of it. The main problem is the incomptence shown in action. I have seen so much shit that I could write a book about how not to plan for a disaster just based on this single event.

I'm apalled by what is happening, but the main cause of the problem is the US social and politcal system. It wouldn't have been any better with democratic president, the problem lies much deeper than politics. It has to do with the lack of planning and resources to avoid problems like the ones we are seeing.

Take a look at Holland, nost of the country is beneath sealevel, but they have, through an enormous undertaking over the past 50 years, made the country as safe as possible by investing huge amount of money into preventing the type of breaches seen in the flood-walls in NO. Yes, it is flood walls and not levees that broke. The levees seems to be fine.

Cleaner exhaust and quieter, air-conditioned - And we were wondering why someone didn't send some Max busses South for Katrina survivors' use.

He works for a software company and he trains newspapers all over the continent on how to use their new/upgraded software.

He changes their homepages to Common Dreams a lot, and sometimes changes the priority keywords on their AP feeds :)

Shhh....don't tell ;)

I've been thinking about members of the "Great Generation" (GG) quite a bit lately. My Dad is one, but he is the opposite of those GGs I see when holding signs on a street corner with my friends. My Dad is a Populist of the classic Labor/Mid-western Bohemian, Conservative Catholic family man stripe.

Today a fat man, over 60 years old, and riding an expensive motorcycle, waited for the light and berated us, ending with "get out of America." I asked him several times, over his bitching, to Please Volunteer and go to Iraq to help our soldeirs there who need his support. I don't expect this to work, but I do it loudly enough, and politely enough, for everyone in a quarter block to hear. He went on about how he served in WWII. I ended with "So is everyone to sacrifice everything for your ego?"

I'm sorry he had to drive off then, because I'd really!!! really like an answer to this question: Why is is necessary for subsequent generations to proove to previous generations that they, the GGs for instance, did not sacrifice in vain? Why do they, GGs for instance, need others to establish the values of their own lives for them? Can't their actions stand on their own merit? If their actions can't stand on their own merit, then why are they engaging in such actions? Don't you think the children of this country belong to themselves? Or are they to be somekind of reward you think you deserve for something that you assume any "decent" person would commit suicide for, without even asking them!!!! - nor encouraging options. The very essence of the Oppressor that's what Some of the Great Generation seems to be to me . Spoiled, crazy, fat, impotent old men and their old-barbie wives. Who assume that all that is good is exactly like them.

almost religious elevation of military to the saviour of Earth. What is wrong with this country to have such a view on the military?
What really pissed me off was when the media started calling everyone in Iraq a "hero". A hero? For doing their job? Then I'm a freaking hero too! I do my work every day and I do it damn well too, but I have never considered myself a hero.

The worshipping of the military in this country is sickening. And it's the same from both sides of the aisles...

I always tell them my grandfather's brother's didn't die in WW2 for them to tell me to leave and/or shut up.

to have been in WW2. It ENDED 60 years ago.

the board tonight. Peace
