Wil we be FReeping? Let me know. I'll be there.
Good Freeper, you! :) (And thank you!)
This stinks. This really stinks. I guess the HeraldSun doesn't have spell-check.
Anyhow, who in their right mind would pay for this?...?
Hey, you people, "Shut Up and Sing" (Laura Ingraham)
Womyn and,er,ahh,...Womyn.... Presenting...FRUIT...OF...THE...LOOOON!!!
Fruit of the Loon C and TM of Flora McDonald, we thank you and love you.
Sorry. Should have kept reading down the thread.
LOL!! The main thing is that GMTA!
Chapel Hill and Carrboro are the San Francisco/Castro district of North Carolina. There will be lots of earnest socialists available.
I used to live in The People's Repbulic of Orange County. Every time I had to deal with county officials, I left their office cursing at the top of my lungs, ready to start the revolution NOW.
They made me get an exit visa before I could move my mobile home one county south of there (where I live now).
From data I'm getting from locals -- CARRBORO is loudly liberal.
The most inflammatory statement by the jury of conscious was as follows
There is widespread opposition to the occupation. Political, social, and civil resistance through peaceful means is subjected to repression by the occupying forces. It is the occupation and its brutality that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.
Yep. Pathetic, ain't it? Must be nice to invent your own moral high ground and then stand on it, as they have done, complelety unafraid of treason prosecution in their own country because of our powerful fifth column and ACLU. Why this act of financing terror was not prosecuted under the Patriot Act I do not know. All I know is that God never forgets.
During the days immediately after 9/11, the town council made a restaurateur remove his "God Bless America" sign from the balcony.
I live near the people's republic of Carrboro and would very much like to "Freep" the pinkos.
Keep me posted.

Their language is totally Orwellian. We need to recognize that and use it against them.
Thank you NC Freepers and friends. You did great work last night!
