I'm not familiar enough with you to know whether I'd call you an "unappeasable" or not, but the term, at least as I use it, has nothing to do with President Bush.
I use it to describe those who never find any action by the government strong enough or decisive enough. At least as it concerns their pet concerns.
The "nuke Mecca" crowd is part of the unappeasables. Those who seriously suggest mining our southern border or killing anything that moves along there are "unappeasables."
Of course, they also oppose what the government did at Waco or in the Elian Gonzalez case. Rightly so, IMO, but it's the whole mindset that the government is never right, whether it is too lax or too heavy-handed.
If you're a professional political bitch, you're an "unappeasable." It's shorter than typing "professional political bitch."
Literally. The polls show we are weary of the government's airport security "band-aid" approach; looking for things.
We and the idiots in the government takke notice of the kinds of weapons the terrorists use..sharp objects, liquids that can be combined to make explosives. In reaction, we ban nail clippers and toothpaste and shampoo.
When in hell is the Homeland Security going to take note that all the terrorists are men of Middle Eastern looking descent?!
I heard it on Foxnews. Posted to this point three times now. A Foxnews segment had a clip of Bush leaving an event and Bush was asked a question and used the phrase. Another Freeper witnessed the clip and posted here about it.
Why are there so many here ready to believe the worst about a great President? DU and dim plants are actively doing this sort of thing all over the web. I have a copy of their "blast fax" requesting Anti-American, islmofacist-loving lefties to do such things. Don't fall into their trap!

You keep trying to redefine the term so that it only applies to one's feelings about President Bush. I've already rejected that, and I reject it again.
I'll just use Islam.
He might talk in "folksy" manner is a better way to put it.
George W. might be the greatest leader since Ghandi and Churchill. He also could be the biggest idiot since John Rocker.

We want answers now!
The truth is, we won't have the answer for 25 years. We can't wait that long. When's the next post?
Nope just using Bush as an example. Your initial definition that ""unappeasables" accurately describes those who will never be satisfied, most of whom are not fellow Republicans "and your claim that "this thread is filled with "unappeasables"" lead me to question what you meant because that statement is on its face patently wrong. This thread focused on a single issue so a broad sweeping indictment by stereotype is not appropriate since there is little indication anyone here fits your description of always taking the position that the "government is wrong". (In fact I can't recall ever finding a FReeper with that perspective no matter how much I disagreed with them on a single issue.) The perjorative use of a stereotype is an ineffective argument on the point of this (any) thread and a tactic usually used to derail logical debate. Just wondered why you chose that tactic instead of debating the issue.
Who said "Wonder how the bots will handle this potato..." before I ever made my post?
You should be the last one taking me to task.
Touche' at least I don't have to wonder now..
