Freeper concern, asks: "Does Anybody Have Some New Coping Techniques?"

My apologies for posting this ramble, but it's positively erudite for the Freepers. From "Mountain Mary":

It is a beautiful fall day in Colorado: but I am sitting here trying to decide whether my symptoms are more anxiety or depression, or both. FEAR, for sure. Sometimes this all seems like a dream: how there could exist the real possibility that a Muslim Socialist with ties to a domestic terrorist and an America hating pastor, can be on the brink of becoming our next President: not to mention his inexperience, dishonesty and far left liberal ideas. I find myself being afraid for our country: for our liberties and the democratic principles that we hold so dear. I made the mistake of watching George Snuffalufagas this morning. He and the libs on his panel talked briefly about the election but they kept saying "when"(he takes office) instead of "if" when they referred to Zerobama. Newt(yes, our NEWT) predicted a McCain loss unless something turns around and soon. George Will, who seems to have abandoned his Conservative beliefs of late, just looked depressed. THEN, they went on to other topics..just like there wasn't really anything more to say about the election cuz it's OVER! I want to ask you Freepers what coping skills are working for you right now: Mine are the following: 1. Turn off the MSM, and unfortunately, that includes Fox News, with the exception of Fox and Friends in the am, Greta(she's had great exposes on ACORN), Hannity and Colmes and Huckabee. O'Reilly is totally losing it: he told Laura Ingraham the other night that he has no problem with Obama, not to mention his abrasiveness and the way he uses his hands all the time is creepy. 2. Listen only to Rush, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and Hannity on the radio. 3. Exercise: it gets the endorphins going. 4. Prepare and eat comfort food: I made soup today, 5. Stay on Conservative or Republican websites only. 6. Do something useful for your local McCain/Palin campaign: Make the dreaded phone calls, distribute lit, yard signs and the like. it will make you feel good and you can hang out with like minded people. I would like nothing better than to see those pearly whites of Nobama's disappear in anger and disbelief. And Mabelle has her dress already. Wonder if it can be returned to TJ Maxx! The lobster and champagne at the Waldorf Astoria is what really got me: The BO's are already celebrating! a $350 lunch. Makes me want to hurl. Please advise me of any other techniques you freepers have for getting through the next two weeks. But don't suggest drinking: I gave it up! Thanks, MM :)

Hard to believe she gave up drinking. But, the best response there:

Just call people who disagree with you "moonbats" and the stress goes away.

You know...

Pretend you're right, freeper.

The freepers believe everything they hear on hate radio, so of course they're terrified.

was posted on fr. But, it's satire and it went right over their heads and they believed it.

Any idea where it originated?

and read the comments. :rofl:

Here's a good one re: Michelle's room service bill. Never mind that they've made lots of money on the books!

It’s nothing compared to the bills Obama, Pelosi and Reid are going to be charging against the US in the next couple of years.

The original was here: http://penetratinginsights.blogtownhall.com/

but it's been pulled.

Horrible images, all photoshopped for highest shock value.

Must disinfect my puter now.

:puke:

I can't even grasp how their minds work.

it's impossible for me to fathom whether their minds work at all.

ALL of them!

with so few operational brain cells.

That would explain their being cold-blooded, but begs the question: why aren't they more often seen sunning themselves on rocks, instead of wallowing neck-deep in ignorance in their parent's basements? :+

:toast:

But, then again, I'll drink to anything...

:toast:

getting in her car and starting it up ... but don't tell her to open the garage door ...

She has no idea how much her life is getting ready to improve under President Obama.

are people in america that are that GD fucking stupid.

:evilfrown:

WE...We..We'll have Jobs and Health Care and ...Oh...Me...Oh..Me...

It's over. There are no coping techniques that will help. Things will never be the same. Misery is all you have to look forward to. I would recommend you end it all.

:shrug: And the thing that I always find is funny is both them and us think the MSM is aginst the other side.

I know logic isn't their strong suit, but why would a Muslim be in a pastor's church? :rofl:

It's amazing how they parrot the talking points.

If it's Rev. Wright, that's all they talk about. Now it's Bill Ayers.

Anything - ANYTHING - they are coached on becomes the subject du jour at Free Republic.

Whew. They would make good concentration camp guards.

thanks for pointing that up!

I wouldn't call her erudite, as she is obviously very limited and under-informed. She likes to scare herself and she is quite good at it.

We have no time for the likes of her. We will work on fixing this country, from which she too will benefit in the end, but she won't see it.

A veeeeeery long sabbatical on a deserted island may be the answer for Mary.

Turn it off!

You'll feel better....

That is who they are: Live in their echo chamber, and let their reich wing radio/television hosts tell them how to think, while those hosts take their millions to the bank.

Nice job if you can get it. This incredibly gullible woman will never get it.

I'm sure there's still enough depleted uranium there to take care of them,and I imagine they can get it for a fairly decent price.

who speak SPANISH.

"My advice to you is start drinking heavily."

Take the only way out, while the rest of us get health care, a strong economy and peace through President Obama.

a nice oleander and castor bean salad.

a dying kult and all of that?

I mean, if Rush tells them to do it, won't they do it?

ooooh, sad widdle freeps! it actually makes me sad to read them. They are so misinformed...and now they are all upset over nothing. What a waste of good air.

with McCain's multiple homes, cars and airplanes? Seems like selective outrage to me...

I laughed today when my daughter came home and told me about the car she had seen with a homemade sign in the window that said 'Sarah Palin is our Joan of Arc'. Here I thought she was their Queen Esther.

How many times have they ridiculed us and said that Obama was our Messiah, but none of us have said that that I know of. Now they claim that this dimwit from Alaska is their salvation sent by God. Oh, and georgie boy was too. I find it hilarious that every one of their leaders are somehow sent by God, but if we believe in the guality of our person then we have a Messiah complex.

Another thing, Obama was exotic because he was from Hawaii, but palin is all American because she is from Alaska. Huh? Why she can even see Russia from her front porch, how foreign is that?

We should start a thread on palin with all these things presented in fake outrage and see how long it takes them to react to it. Just joking.

knowingly, then plead for help. Beyond ridiculous.

He complains about the champagne and cavier because, I guess, it's extravagent, but then claims Michelle bought her dress at T.J. Maxx, which would be very frugal of her. So, I guess he thinks they should celebrate with Mountain Dew and Ritz crackers with cheese from a can....and Michelle should wear a designer haute couture gown????? I'm confused......

I don't get it when Mountain Mary repeats what she heard on RW radio about far-left liberals. I know what a far-left movement / organization is, because like many folks I was far-left back in the 60s. All Obama has discussed is a small move to the left. It might seem like a big change, given the hell of the last 8 years, but Obama's program isn't even what is viewed as mainstream in most European countries; much less a real leftist politic; much less a far-left agenda.

I wish Obama was more like Kucinich, but I voted for Obama in the primary and will vote for him again in the general election. There is much to like about Obama, even if he isn't and never will be far-left.

but this brilliant, educated, calm, collected, loving father and husband scares them?

Yeah, whatever Freeps. Suck on it. Your guys have been DISMAL failures.

I found the perfect escape yesterday. My brother secured permission to hunt my neighbor’s (owns about 100 acres) property next to mine.

He made a perfect lung shot with a crossbow on a buck about 8 a.m. yesterday. My brother followed a blood trail, which stopped suddenly. We combed the woods for hours (I live on a Tennessee mountaintop, and estimate I hiked about eight miles, straight up in some cases). When that blood trail stopped suddenly, we combed every inch of the area, couldn’t find another trace. I had thought about going to a mowed TVA power line not far from here, but we followed conventional wisdom the buck went straight downhill, to the lake. I also believed the buck would go for brushpiles, to hide from predators.

After near exhaustion, I finally suggested we check out the powerline. There lay the buck, right in the middle of the mowed area. Then it was time to butcher it, and the satisfaction of knowing we will eat under any circumstances.

I learned some good woodsmanship skills, worked out muscles I forgot I had, and never once thought about the election.

I have done my part emailing, talking, voting early, taking former non voters to vote, etc.

Today, I had to work the muscles again, so I dug up a bunch of plants to take inside, as it’s supposed to freeze here. Excercise is good for the mind and body, I need to do more of it.

Also, don’t believe everything you read/hear from the MSM. I’m having a hard time believing Americans would elect Obama (but we do need to get a handle on the voting fraud underway). Of course, if it happens, I’ll live with it and work to change things four years from now. I remember the Carter years, and how it led to Republican successes for many years. Sometimes we just need a wakeup call.

WTF? Is this animal torturer planning on taking his venison into a bunker? What the hell?

What a weird response that was to a weird post.

The Freepers grow more insane by the day.

It's been ringing for 8 long years. What, are you deaf??

(I'm getting the distinct impression that I'm being followed.)

:hi:

Waking up to find John Mcain flicking his little forked tongue would certainly cause me to have an aversion, and lord knows, I'd lose an arm!

(don't pitch 'em if you don't want me it hit 'em!:rofl:)

I'd only be too happy to keep throwing you strikes. And maybe an occasional curve ball...

I either have to hit it out of the park or strike out, 'cause I'm too dang old to run the bases!

Speaking of old, I do believe I'm going to have to take a little nap now, since it's waaaay past o'dark-thirty.

Thank you so much, I have so enjoyed this. Perhaps we'll do it again sometime?
Ta Ta!:hi:

Sorry about the late response. I'm afraid I had already succumbed to nap time before you took your last swing. Perhaps I need to invest in some Geritol if I'm to keep up with you.

Agreed, though. This was definitely enjoyable. I'd be disappointed if we didn't reconvene soon.

Good mornin' to you!
:pals:

What's in the fucking grape kool-aid they're drinking.

And how can he be a Muslim AND have an American hating pastor. Pastors run Christian churches

:grr:

The Freepers are fed so many talking points by Rush/Hannity that all they can do is spew them out in a nonsensical fashion.

Extraordinary what ventriloquist's dummies they are.

Is she thinking about the opulence of the Al Smith Dinner -- sponsored by the CONSERVATIVE Catholic Church?

Of course, perhaps she doesn't think of Catholics as REAL Christians either?

here... I'll pack it for you.

:evilgrin:

SUCK IT, FREEPER!

:rofl:

Hey, it works for Rush. :shrug:

if that piece of shit website they use allowed members to post pictures. I dunno, maybe they can and they're just too stupid to figure out how to do it.

These people are so far beyond stupid.

Eating lobster - yeah, there's a real Muslim for you.

Duh.

If it seems impossible that there could "exist the real possibility that a Muslim Socialist with ties to a domestic terrorist and an America hating pastor, can be on the brink of becoming our next President: not to mention his inexperience, dishonesty and far left liberal ideas"...

then maybe it is.

No, I'm not telling you, Mr. and Ms. Freeper, that McCain will win: that's all but mathematically impossible. I'm telling you that a) he's not a Muslim, though there would be nothing wrong with it if he was b) he's not a socialist, though again socialists are pretty conventional mainstream people, and we might do well to try out some socialist policies, for a change c) he has no ties to active domestic terrorists (unlike the Palins), and only weak ties to Professor Ayers, and Professor Ayers is a very mainstream education expert these days: you know, people do change over time d) Reverend Wright isn't anti-American (though he is pretty flaky at times): listen to his sermons in their entirety, with an open mind, and maybe you'll discover this e) Obama has more experience than many of our past Presidents, and has learned more than most do during his years of public service f) Obama has had his moments, where his campaign has exaggerated some points, but he does not have a track record of dishonesty g) he doesn't have far left liberal ideas, but I and others are hoping he can be persuaded: it's those ideas you fear that have historically been the most successful when dealing with economic crises of this type.

I'd do the opposite of what you're planning to do: stay away from right wing media, and immerse yourself, with an open mind, in neutral and left-of-center news sources. I'll bet you could even find a home here, at scary ol' DU, if you come here with an open mind and an interest in learning what the right wing media never told you about (a couple hints though: don't announce yourself as a freeper -- some people will jump on you immediately even if you're hear to learn; and don't come here to argue with us, because DU is not a place for that.

And if all else fails, revisit this post a year from now. The world hasn't ended has it? Things have not gone as nightmarishly as you thought they would, correct? Perhaps the ideas you have been holding have been wrong. Be open to that nagging doubt, and try again to look at the world without the right wing media's filter. Really, the world is not as scary as you think it is. Just take a peek.

The best medicine for coping with life is the truth.

Unfortunately, considering them requires an open mind.

(I especially like the very first point you made, about how if it seems impossible that blah blah blah, then maybe it is. That's an idea just barely simple enough for a highly functioning freeper to grasp.)

For a few years. It'll be nice and quiet, she won't have to watch the news, and there'll be no Muslim socialists there to disturb her. Of course, she'll undoubtedly have to shave her head, and give up her SUV, but that's a small price to pay for peace of mind, isn't it?

Hey, I'm a Buddhist! I prefer to remove people from the gene pool non-violently.

10 most hated/feared, dreaded ubiquitous "other" list.

their poor weddle heads would actually explode.

Oh, and the extra health care is going to be downright intolerable. :rofl:

how did she ever cope during Clinton's Administration....or wait, they didn't, thats why we had Bush.

at least 8..

How about you get in your truck and head down to the nearest liquor store to pick up four cases of Coors. Be sure to turn on Sean/Rush/Neal/Mark/Michael/Rusty/Laura on your drive!

Then, upon your return, pull into your garage and close the door. But don't turn off the engine! You wouldn't want to miss a word from these giants of modern American political thought - and you wouldn't want to run down the battery either, now would you?

Then, see if you can drink all the beer!!

:puke:

But then I have to live among some big dummies also. :puke:

That's good for "coping".

Certainly shortens the coping period, anyway.

when freeper heads explode :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

"5. Stay on Conservative or Republican websites only."

I guess that's why I've seen the name "Mountain Mary" over at "The Confluence", "TexasDarlin", and other PUMA litterboxes......certainly they fall into the "Conservative or Republican" website department

I hope it consumes them the way our RIGHTEOUS anger and REAL fears have consumed us for the last eight years. May theirs last a hundred years, and may they all be dry bones by the end of it!

There's no chance of that happening because THERE'S NO SUCH CANDIDATE RUNNING.

Learning can be a very relaxing experience.

Seek Professional help!
:crazy:

The very definition of a Freeper. They have lost all critical thinking skills in their echo chamber. Same crowd that brought Hitler to power.

They should've "enjoyed" it while they had it. Now it's time to undo this bullshit that has been dragging down our nation since Reagan.

Hey Freeps! Whats up? Guess what? We put up with Shrub for 8 freakin long years. Soon, it will be your turn. The O-Man will be your prez whether you like it or not. So, My Freeps, break out the oxy con and numb yourself cause change is coming.

Critical thinking is not their strong suit, to put it mildly.

We liberals are far nicer to them than they are to us.

Apparently Mountain Mary is losing her brainwashing, and needs to turn up the volume to 11. surely a diet of only Hannity, rush, and Fox & Friends, along with only rightwing websites, will make everything OK. She'll come out of it very informed indeed.
