Is this an opus??

The best one I've read in awhile. Plenty of multisyllabic verbiage, includes all the appropriate -isms (fascism, liberalism, Marxism), the "sorrowful disappointment" at what the forum has become, the obligatory "we'll crush you like bugs" line, etc. In short, all the components required to assemble a fine opus.

I give it a 7.2. I would have scored it higher if not for the subtle lack of continuity, absence of color (none of the obligatory references to sweaty knuckle-dragging jingoistic fundamentalist neoconservative mouth-breathing Neanderthals)and the "born-on date" of the author being less than a year.

Alas, ferret, we hardly knew you. Enjoy your travels down the flowery, freshly groomed path of righteous correctness you have chosen. Fare thee well . . .

I have 'em.

For once, we agree ;-).

Overall average based on a 4.0 scale: 1.2 (rounded to ZERO, since it's a liberal anyway...heck, that's what fascism is all about right?)


If I may be of any more help PBRSTREET, please, don't hesitate to ask. Note though, my hours of operation for such tasks are 9-5. Yes, even Opus graders have lives! hehe

"The FR calls for the establishment of a dominant group

FR works for Freedom. That is the absence of a dominant group.

"fascism"

Is socialism. That's what you advocate.

"we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor before it destroys what we collectively hold dear; The United States of America as we know it with our Constitution as is works now with it's checks and balances there to prevent Fascist and totalitarian entities from taking us and the world on the road to incredible destruction and human misery."

You are talking about crushing Freedom and installing your facist regime. That is what will establish your stated conclusion, not Freedom.

[Time is now]

This unfortunate doesn't have a clue as to what facist means.

[Neets]

For once, we agree ;-).

ACK!!! We must NOT have agreements!!! We must crush this thing!!!

[sauropod]

Thank you. You are the first person on this thread that correctly identified what fascism is.

"you can own your own property, but I'm gonna tell you what you can do with it."

I hate it when liberals don't even know what the meaning of the word is they seek to use as a perjorative.

[Petronski]

That is a national outrage!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Yes, even Opus graders have lives!

I am shocked! Opus-grading being the critically important function that it is, I was certain that you were on call 24/7.

[Bluntpoint]

This guy probably thinks Shemp was a good fascist! When we all know nobody could beat the real facsist!:

Member since June 2003.

Yea, right.

[FormerLib]

Gonna crush us, eh?

[Bluntpoint]

Want to get real outrageous? Slip this in your goat's sweet feed!

"Another FReeper took this all too seriously and suicided."

I hadn't heard that. Who was it?

[thoughtomator]

I just come here to get the news... I don't see what the big deal is...?

[Neets]

I don't think it is fair or correct to insinuate that that Freeper took his life because of FR or his computer....I understand your intent..but none of us, his wife included, know why he did what he did.

[sauropod]

No disagreement here.

[Neets]

I got the goods.

[FourtySeven]

I am shocked! Opus-grading being the critically important function that it is, I was certain that you were on call 24/7.

I'm semi retired.
