10/19   Freepers pile on Dubya
        http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1505696/posts
        \_ Naahhh, looks like the usual ass-licking of the GOP power brokers
           to me.  Sometimes this stuff is so over the top it almost reads
           like parody, or even Bush slashfic:
           "Whether it's the mass media or the obstructionist Democrat
           Senators, the Islamic terrorists or natural disasters, the leaders
           of the various 'minority' groups or the homosexual lobby, the
           abortionist fanatics or the RINOs, even leftover Clintonites in the
           Pentagon, FBI and CIA, there is always something standing there,
           furiously attacking or opposing the President at every turn. Yet he
           stands up and faces it all with courage and tenacity. Where will
           anyone find a better man out there?"
           \_ I hate the freeper whining so much. "We only control TWO branches
              of the government. Daddy promised us THREEEEE." Internally I
              translate everything that "stands in their way" (liberals,
              democrats, Clinton, etc.) to variations of "the Man" just so I
              can listen to it without slapping them upside the head. The
              above quote slightly translated for my sanity: "Whether it's the
              corporate Man or the obstructionist Man, the Bible thumping Man,
              or natural disasters, the leaders of the various 'majority'
              groups or the Missionary Position Only lobby, the anti-abortion-
              ist or the Oreos, even the leftover Man in the Pentagon, FBI and
              CIA, there is always something standing there, furiously attack-
              ing or opposing the President at every turn. Yet he stands up
              and faces it all with courage and tenacity. Where will anyone
              find a better brother out there? Slap mah fro!" Yeah it doesn't
              work. I still wanna slap a freeper around.

                \_ They will only be happy once we live in the Christian
                   feudal corporate state, with 90% of the population slaving
                   away in vast polluting factories or off fighting in endless
                   wars, while they enjoy the most sinful pleasures on top.
                   We're not there yet, so they whine.
                   \_ Not slaving away in factories.  Serving the upperclass
                      on their enormous estates/ranches, and in their shopping
                      centers.  And those that serve the rich will be the
                      lucky ones.  The rest will live in 3rd world conditions
                      without health care, public services, police protection,
                      public education, or hope, in places where the
                      upperclass never has to see or deal with them.  And the
                      upperclass will say:  "They deserve that, because they
                      don't work hard enough.  They're stupid and lazy.  In
                      this country, Under God, you get what you deserve!"
                      That is when the freepers will be happy.
                      \_ I don't know why you put no healthcare in the future
                         tense.  Most of the people I know from highschool have
                         no health insurance now, and I went to an upper middle
                         no healthe insurance now, and I went to an upper middle

        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself

        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

View Replies To: freedomdefender The money paragraph ... Once again there's a family in crisis, and it's conservatism. He can let it break up, or let it wither under his watch. Just as he learned at 40 that to keep his family he had to become part of so mething larger than himself, he should realize as he approaches 60 that he has to become part of something larger if he is to save his adminis tration. And that "something larger" is a movement that has been buildi ng for half a century, since before Barry Goldwater. The president woul d be well advised to look at the stakes, see what's in the balance, jud ge the strengths and weaknesses of his own leadership, and get back to the basics of conservatism. View Replies To: Cboldt "Look at the acrimony and insults on this board. Those are the voices of the GOP lashing out against conservatives." Those voices of conservatism who line up with PEG don't represent me. View Replies To: Cboldt Noonan: It was 1986, and George W Bush had just turned 40. he had been drinking too much and it was damaging all spheres of his life, including his family." But since I've been readi ng Noonan for about 12 months, I know that she doesn't have much more to add. View Replies To: DTogo I think Rove is way to distracted because I can't believe he would let th is kind of stupidity happen if he was calling the shots on this one. Those voices of conservatism who line up with PEG don't represent me." Well I don't think he's done a very good job because now our party is spl it. And now this mornin g I read that there's an arrest warrant for Tom Delay. Those voices of conservatism who line up with PEG don't represent me. My observation, cynical though it be, is that the GOP power base is miffed at those who object to the Miers nomination. The WH and the G OP have been insulting those who object to the nomination. So, the GOP can adopt the label "conservatives," and I'll be content with being a far right, cynical, elitist, sexist religious bigot. I'm apt to lapse into misuse of the label sometime in the future, but that will just be an old habit dying hard. View Replies To: freedomdefender Bush may not be the best or the brightest President in US history, but he's doing an excellent job overall, especially considering the perpetua l opposition he faces every day. Whether it's the mass media or the obstructionist Democrat Senators, the Islamic terrorists or natural disasters, the leaders of the various 'min ority' groups or the homosexual lobby, the abortionist fanatics or the R INOs, even leftover Clintonites in the Pentagon, FBI and CIA, there is a lways something standing there, furiously attacking or opposing the Pres ident at every turn. Yet he stands up and faces it all with courage and tenacity. When you consider the state of the world, troubled as it is today, and th e great moral decline in America that has led to the legalization or fos tering of every 'deadly sin', the Clinton messes left for him to clean u p and the terrorist attacks on the WTC, the Pentagon and how they advers ely affected our economy, how can anyone realistically expect one man to turn it all around or to never make a mistake while trying? I think Miers was a mistake and I've said so a few times on FR, but so wh at? and for all we know Harriet Miers could turn out to be a great Supreme Court Justice. View Replies To: Cboldt I don't speak for anybody but myself. But I am extremly offended by those who try to make the argument, as PEG does, and as I've seen you do, tha t the "base" is divided. I'm watching and talking about what I consider "the base". And it NEVER i ncluded Peggy Noonan, Bill Kristol, David Frum, John Fund, or whoever el se tries to insert themselves into importance. Which is all this column of PEG Noonan is attempting to do. The internet has usur ped her little Opionion Journal piece. View Replies To: MargoRobins Well I don't think he's done a very good job because now our party is spl it. And now this mornin g I read that there's an arrest warrant for Tom Delay. I've posted on this board every day since 1998, and I haven't seen even h alf of the people who are here now bashing President Bush. If you don't want to be part of the party, that's your business, but President Bush h as done more for this country than any president in history. If you had so much against him, you shouldn't have re-elected him. View Replies To: A Citizen Reporter I don't speak for anybody but myself. But I am extremly offended by those who try to make the argument, as PEG does, and as I've seen you do, tha t the "base" is divided. It's the kook fringer unappeasables, who are of no value to the party (in fac t, they HURT the party) who are being unreasonable. View Replies To: TheCrusader Think of it as a child that is running toward a heavily trafficed st. Do you try to stop them before something happens that will have a lifetime of consequences? Up to now there have been scraped knees and bruises, (School bill, Illegal Immigration, overspending, etc. View Replies To: Blackirish FR Poll: After a couple of weeks of research and intense debate, have any minds be en changed? Do you approve of the president's nomination of Harriet Mier s to the Supreme Court? View Replies To: Stellar Dendrite For a "base" you folks sure have more recent "sign up" dates. Wonder what ever happened to all the "Republican" Bush opponents from the 1999's? View Replies To: McGavin999 but President Bush has done more for this country than any president in h istory. George Washington comes to mind but don't let me "logic-up" you delusion. View Replies To: A Citizen Reporter Hyperbole got Ann Coulter nowhere. Well I'm sure you see that I am openly mocking the insults that some in t he GOP are throwing toward people who object to this pick. I was mocking Noonan too, in my post 3 And I agree with you, that her pa ralleling of the fallout of the Miers pick to his admitted bout with alc oholism is a cheap shot. Noonan could have found a more friendly way to chide the President. At this point in the Miers affair, I'm just letting my hair down ... Well, anyway, I'm just releasing a little steam, and I don't want you to take it personal. See, even my temporary little sign off is a pseudo-ran dom combination of GOP insults, and honestly, the insults do make me lau gh. View Replies To: A Citizen Reporter I would think that question is not out of line, since this is Forum forma t, no matter how long one has been here. For that matter, how long do you think is enough time to ask that questio n? View Replies To: DTogo Now might be a good time to dump Rove and replace him with Peggy. Rove has a 98% winning percentage (or perhaps higher) for his political c lients. Both senators of Texas and the President of the United States. None of whom have lost an election while Rove was their consultant. Who was the architect behind the Republican takeover of Texas? Whil e he operated here, every elected office at the Texas state level was se ized by Republicans. Who designed the strategy for increasing the number of Republican seats i n the US Congress each of the past three elections. Suc h a political feat has rarely --- if ever --- been accomplished in the h istory of this country. One final question: Are liberal prosecutors working feverishly to indict Peggy? Could it be because she matters little in n ational politics? Coul d it be because she has never been involved in defeating a liberal democ rat in anything? He has amassed a si gnificant, winning track record in the political life of this country's history. It will be a long time before some other political consultant w ill top his achievments. View Replies To: McGavin999 LOL - Guess you weren't around for Reagan. Many conservatives, including myself, don't think too highly of President Bush. We overlooked alot for one reason, to realign the courts with strict constructionist judges wh o understand the limits of the courts power. With the nomination of Miers, President Bush has frustrated a significant percentage of his base and we have decided that no - we aren't going to overlook his poor leadership any longer.
