Sounds like 1) he doesn't believe in free speech, and 2) he's never heard of the Democratic Underground. He's has to have a very "tinfoil" view of things to take a bulletin board for a command center.

I was very surprised that Rick makes nothing of 'Column A'. One would think that the obvious conclusion would be to say:

"So until we identify those guys who think it would be a swell idea of children to try homosexuality for a school project, and throw them out of our great party, we will never get anywhere, no matter how much our economic proposals will benefit the average voter.

What was that, Rick? All your biggest contributors are....OK, I see your problem.

Can't Breath

don't...know...what...to...do.

Somebody PLEASE tell me how to think today! I'm desperate. I'll be here, for hours, awaiting word from the FR Gods.

I'm not worthy....I'm not worthy....

What's the deal? Almost 5 years here, and a dollar-a-day FReeper and I've never gotten marching orders. Am I missing something? :)

You have not received your ultra secret decoder beeber. You must apply to one of the Mod's as soon as possible. Explain the hugh and series error that has occurred. I am sure they will take the immediate appropriate action.

should this remedy not prove effective, a letter to Helen Thomas claiming you are the Cheney for President Committee Chairman, asking for a donation, would put you in everyone's good graces.

That is the best I can do for marching orders today.

"Government can help provide us with the basic tools we need to live out the American dream."

The Rats are the true reactionaries in American politics. They yearn for the days before "We the People".

Let's see....

- Union memberships are down from the all time high of about 38% of the workforce to under 15%.

- The AFL-CIO just lost two of it's major memberships.

- The last election busted wide-open-bleeding the notion that a very high turnout of voters would automatically elect the 'rat.

- Rush Limbaugh and talk radio prove daily that libs are useless. In fact, conservatives virtually own AM radio.

- The Internet is chock-full of websites where liberal rhetoric gets hammered daily by conservatives using facts and logic.

- The congressional 'rats haven't come up with a new gullible plan for the masses of asses in over 30 years.

- And with all that staring them in their little rat faces, Freerepublic is their big fear? Hahahahaahahahahah!!

"receiving marching orders"

I haven't received any of those memos....Does that mean I'll be gone on Friday?

To conclude, the war on American liberals is a continuation of the Cold War by other means.

That is defident tagline material.

This guy is still trotting out the same stuff that the Demos started selling in the 1890's.

You're an antique. The last of the Victorians.

If I was a Democrat and wanted to win the Presidency here is exactly what I would do:

No you wouldn't! Because you would long ago have left the Democratic party if you believed that. Of course if you are Hilliarity you could say that even though you don't believer it.

I'll be real radical and go way out on a limb and suggest you go jump in the lake.

There, do you feel better now? :)

Another self-appointed and anointed Washington "expert". I could care less what he has to say.

"Democratic congressmen can do that, for example, by making a credible collective pledge that if you vote Democrat enough you will never pay another medical bill as long as you live.

It's the word "credible" that is the key. You guys lost your credibility a long time ago, and because of this the majority of Americans don't believe a word you say

Oh, I think he meant what he said, "...if you vote Democrat enough you will never pay another medical bill as long as you live."

It's because if you vote 'rat, you won't be able to pay another medical bill.

"....was people not being able to afford to go to the dentist".....this is the most revealing line in the whole screed. The Dummies can only see their opportunities in others misery. If we aren't all miserable there's nothing for them "to do for us". Simply an Ivy League liberal mindset. The Pubbies are smart enough to harness their fortunes to others opportunities and facilitate their acheivements. As long as the Ivy League Marxists run Democratic politics they'll be running second.

**** the donkey. Didn't Peter Gabriel sing that.

No, that was "Shock the Monkey" (In college we'd say "Spank the Monkey!")

I figured I never got marching orders since I haven't earned my decoder ring yet!

Well, you'll have to wait a while. I haven't gotten mine yet. (I did learn the secret handshake, though.)

It doesn't take much to demobilize a machine voter: Just install some doubt that people who claim to be their champions are not really their champions.

An interestingt example of fatal blindness. The fool jsut can't imagine that anyone would vote as a matter of conscience or spiritual duty. No, in his nasty little utopian world, everyone's a part of one sort of machine or another. That's the essence of the Left - they deny what is best in humanity in order to justify their own sick desire for dominion over every aspect of human thought and endeavor. Remember - they don't merely want you to surrender to them - they want (no, they DEMAND) that you applaud them for enslaving you.

"Republicans want you to work for the AMERICAN DREAM, Democrats want to SELL IT TO YOU. "

Republicans work their A$$ off for it and the democrats
try to take the credit for it.
