What is Common between the Dummies (Democractic Underground) and the Loonies (LibertyPost).

Because they like Kennedy and Kerry. I know it is beyond dumb to love these two guys, but Massachusetts liberals and American liberals consider them their heroes.

[GSWarrior]

What is common? Both represent a small minority of their respective parties. Most people don't lurk or post on policital websites, I'd wager.

I agree - I was arguing with a poster last night regarding Greer being appointed or elected. I had a poster from FL tell me Greer was just re-elected - but this other poster kept insisting that ALL JUDGES are appointed - which is not true.

It's just amazing how ignorant people are about how govt works.

[wardaddy]

I agree.

Liberty Post looks a lot less loony today than it used to and there are some great ex-freepers there.

But, the obsession with FR is bizarre. Clown Posse does that as well.

The irony is that I NEVER EVER paid attention to any of the alternate or banned sites till immigration blew up here.

Now...well...I know where they are. Given pure numbers, they all pale compared to here. That is FR's strength...the sheer magnitude.

Another funny is that if you really want to see where the most contentious threads are for FR on any given day, you can simply go to LP and check out Todd's latest links to where all the action is ...lol.

Great post.

Freepers that I wish were still posting here!

No loss. They were disruptive.

[CyberAnt]

You're welcome .. I just couldn't resist the temptation to vent!!

He is the worst President ever

I think it's simpler than you have put it. For malcontents such as these people, President Bush is the "worst president ever" because he is the current president.

because FR do not ... endorse the StormFronters and the Minute Men project

Equating the two is a vile dishonesty.

[jveritas]

Not at all.

Below is from Jim Robinson:

"Yes, you are missing something. The Stormfronters are into the Minuteman Project up to their eyeballs. They are organizers, volunteers, recruiters and promoters of both Ranch Rescue and Minuteman. Anyone who goes to Arizona for this project will be in the company of many stormfronters. Advise you to actually follow and read the comments found on the links or use google and find out for yourself."

So .. you're saying .. supporting the President is a bad idea .. and because many of us who support him - are somehow empty headed .. and just sychophants ..??

If that is what you took from my post, then your reading comprehension skills and deductive reasoning capacities are nonexistent, and there is no reason to read past that line of your post.

[Sloth]

Erroneous.

[spodefly]

It figures that you would agree with a complete misreading of my post and useless and vitriolic ranting to boot.

[CyberAnt]

And .. as usual .. because you have no reasoned reply - the only thing left is to personally villify or discredit me or ridicule me.

You have told me much more about yourself than you know.

[rhombus]

I know it is beyond dumb to love these two guys

And when Kennedy and Kerry endorse Hillary? Beyond dumb votes again.

[spodefly]

Thank you.

They were disruptive

How so? because they did not just pretend up was down and black was white in regards to the illegal immigration (mostly) situation? Is dissent disruptive? I find that disturbing. Almost, Democrat-like.

[spodefly]

And BTW, if you are sick of hearing peoples opinions, then you are uselessly torturing yourself by attending a place where 'opinions' are the vast majority of the content.

[jveritas]

This is the heart of the CyberAnt post where I totally agree:

My problem is that some people come on these threads and THE ONLY WORDS THAT EVER COME OUT OF THEIR MOUTH IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT BUSH.

Some of us are just get mighty sick of it. Many of us don't agree with EVERYTHING Bush does .. but there is more to life than this constant DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP of BUSH SUCKS.

People who whine the most are usually unhappy because they are ONE ISSUE PEOPLE and when the President doesn't side with THEIR ISSUE then HE'S out of step - instead of just accepting that they don't agree with the President's position.

I hope and I think that you are not one of these people.

I am not one of those people, and my original post should have made that clear. Cyberant wanted to rant, and he took my post as a catalyst to do it, but in doing so completely misread (intentionally or otherwise) the meaning of it.
