Attn McCain Haters: SHUT Your Stinking TRAP! (Vanity)
skank the sock puppet ^ | 3/30/08 | Cinnamon Girl

Posted on 03/31/2008 8:36:23 AM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how it’s a free country and they have a 1st Amendment right, etc. to yammer on and on about how bad McCain sucks, totally missing the point of my post, again. But I’m here to tell you, in this free country, that in my opinion, you should SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP! To all you ingrates, rageaholics, and self-absorbed punks, WE KNOW YOU HATE MCCAIN. You can give yourself a rest now and stop posting on every single thread the same exact comments. I’m not going to name names, but I will if I have to. I think we all know by now who I’m talking about. The folks who post the same pictures and the same comments on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. We got it. You aren’t voting for McCain. Fine. Time to move on. Yes, that’s my opinion. You have had enough time to accept the reality that John Sidney McCain III, WAR HERO, is the Republican nominee. Some folks on FR have used this time to learn more about Johnny, realize that he isn’t as bad as they thought, grow up, act like adults, and get in gear to vote for him. Some of you have decided not only to beat your collective dead horse everyday, banging out the same tiresome gripes about McCain on every thread, but you’ve also gotten increasingly VITRIOLIC. I’m talking about the following trash:

1. Saying McCain isn’t really a war hero because (insert stupid lie here.)

2. Declaring that McCain urged the U.S. government to leave other POWs back in Vietnam (for what reason would he do this exactly? Don’t bother, I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.)

3. Insulting other FR posters who like or support Johnny by using profanity, vulgarity, and name calling. YOU ARE DIMINISHING FR with your hostile posts—this kind of stuff belongs on low rent leftie sites like DU, or Daily Kos, not FREE REPUBLIC, the shining star of conservative websites.

4. AND FINALLY, the filthiest load in the McCain Haters’ verbal trebuchet: wishing, hoping or praying that John Sidney McCain III would come to some misfortune which would prevent him from living to be President. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DISGUSTING. How can you wish that a decent, G-d fearing man who suffered and sacrificed out of love for this country, who, BY THE GRACE OF G-D, survived five years of torture and imprisonment only to return to service in the military—how could you wish him anything but a long, long life? Shameful. And don’t DARE try to suggest that you are any better in moral character or principle than the angry liberal scum who wish ill upon President Bush or our troops. If your definition of “conservative” is to rage daily and most repulsively against our next President, then please call me a “right wing Reaganite traditionalist” because I want no part of your scene. I realize that some talk show hosts like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity don’t like Johnny, but I don’t recall hearing them praying for his untimely demise. No, that is the talk of the dregs of society, not adults who have their act together.

And just a heads up to all the McCain haters: I am ignoring your tirades henceforth. I can’t stop you from posting your garbage, but I certainly don’t have acknowledge it. Basically, the point of posts from people who like Johnny these days is to share daily news: tracking polls, statements he has made, who he is touring with, speeches he has given, leaders he has met with, etc. What is YOUR point? To seek out people to commiserate with? To insult fellow conservatives who’ve decided having a responsible leader in a time of war trumps giving the GOP a spanking? To try and rally others to joins the haters camp?

Are you going to do this for the next several years? If so, the best advice I can give to the non-haters is to wade through the rage and seek out the decent and the productive on FR. Do not waste your time debating the haters, because they seem to thrive on self-righteousness and rage. Try as they might, they have given absolutely no GOOD reason to allow a dem to win the presidency. Their continued daily rantings about why they hate McCain, on EVERY thread about him, only serve to define their insanity.

I seek out those of like mind. G-d Bless John Sidney McCain III.

P.S. McCain haters, please review the link in order to familiarize yourselves with the sound of Skank's voice so you can hear his directive in your head when you are about to post something vile.

Glad to see it. And I appreciate the “reminders” you’ve posted. We all need to see this. Perhaps it will help some search their conscience and realize that McCain’s “support” of the military depends on which way the wind blows.

Like it or not, we will have a moderate or liberal as our next President.

What moderates are left in the race?

Wow, I was going to give in and support McCain (with nose held) but now I think I don’t like him OR Cinnamon Girl. She’s not very pleasant, is she.
Gee, hope all McCain supporters are not like her.

Actually, I’ve always liked Cinnamon Girl—I don’t appreciate her recent brownshirt behavior (YOU VILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN OR ELSE), but usually, I like her posts here. Since the attacks on McCain non-fans started, though...not so much.

The (almost) funny thing about posts like these, though, is that every time I start to think maybe I might hold my nose and vote for the varmint, someone comes along and posts something like this--and reminds me of why I shouldn't. The post pretty much embodies McCain's stance on the 1st Amendment. Unintended consequences, I guess...

I know having McCain be President will suck, which is why I opposed him in the primaries. But I also know he is actually qualified for the job and his opponents aren't qualified to be dogcatchers. I have friends who will serve in combat under the next president, and so I have little use for your pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.

*****************

That's my position as well. I would like nothing better than to have Fred as our nominee, but he didn't receive enough votes, and then chose to drop out. As much as I detest McCain, I see the alternative as being worse. Possibly much, much worse.

With much regret, I plan to vote for McCain.

Stalinist... statist. Not a real MAJOR difference, as the end result’s the same... and McLame is about as big a statist as they come. And it did READ well!

Thanks for the info. You DO keep up on things, even the unpleasant ones. After Kissinger stabbed my brothers in the back, I avoided even looking at his name. Writing off about 2400 men was so over the top, I would personally see him tried as a war criminal. Then, were it up to me, he’d be introduced to a nice, long SLOW hot bath in a tub of boiling oil. McLame would be right next to him for stopping the enquiries into live sightings which MIGHT have brought some guys home alive. McLame is not qualified to be a test rat at a bubonic plague factory.

So, according to you, we are “dying slow deaths” and she should love our tears.

What is actually 'dying slow deaths' is conservatism. I have to assume that those that are happy with McCain are happy that conservatism is going away and liberalism is taking over. Otherwise, they must be extremely ignorant about the man.

However, other than the Bible and other religiously inspired sources, there is no historical evidence that either Abraham or Moses existed. That does not negate their existence.

Forget John McCain. Remember the Hittites!

If I may paraphrase a line from F.F. Bruce, every time the Bible is suspected of historical inaccuracy in terms of ancient sites, civilizations, and biblical characters, and accuracy has been vindicated by some inscriptional evidence, it may be legitimate to say that archaeology has confirmed the Bible.

"As a matter of fact, however, it may be clearly stated categorically that no archeological discovery has ever controverted a single biblical reference. Scores of archeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or exact detail historical statements in the Bible."
Nelson Glueck, Rivers in the Desert, (New York: Farrar, Strous and Cudahy, 1959), 136.


The excessive skepticism shown toward the Bible by important historical schools of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, certain phases of which still appear periodically, has been progressively discredited. Discovery after discovery has established the accuracy of innumerable details and has brought increased recognition to the value of the Bible as a source of history . . . As critical study of the Bible is more and more influenced by the rich new material from the ancient Near East we shall see a steady rise in respect for the historical significance of now neglected or despised passages and details in the Old and New Testament."
William Albright, The Archaeology of Palestine (Middlesex: Pelican Books, 1960) 127­128.

The more they did up, the better. Here's an intersting example

Appendix - The Ebla Tablets

In 1964, Dr. Paolo Matthiae, professor of Near East archaeology at the University of Rome began to excavate Tell Mardikh in north-western Syria. It soon became clear that they were excavating the ruins of the ancient city of Ebla. In 1975, as the dig progressed down to Early Bronze Age levels, a remarkable find was made in the form of nearly 20,000 clay tablets which constituted the royal archives of the city. These tablets date back to the middle of the 3rd millenium BC, almost 4,500 years ago. They are written in Sumerian wedge-shaped cuneiform script which is the world's oldest known written language. Deciphering these tablets, Professor Pettinato, also of the University of Rome, found the language used to be what he called Old Canaanite' even though the script was cuneiform Sumerian. This very ancient language is closer in vocabulary and grammar to biblical Hebrew than any other Canaanite dialect', including Ugaritic; this therefore gives evidence as to the age of the Hebrew language.

This mass of information from Ebla will take years to digest but already it is very exciting. The city was a large one of 260,000 inhabitants; it traded widely over the known world at that time. A flourishing civilisation existed with many skilled craftsmen in metals, textiles, ceramics, and woodwork. It existed 1,000 years before David and Solomon and was destroyed by the Akkadians in around 1600 BC.

To date, only about one third of the Ebla tablets have been translated. Already, however, Eber has been named as one of its kings. Eber was the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Abraham (Genesis 10:21). Could this Eber, King of Ebla, be the same Eber of the Bible? Other names found, later to be used by biblical men, include Abraham, Esau, Saul, Michael, David, Israel and Ishmael. The supreme god of Ebla was called Yah', a shortened version of Yahweh'; so, some residual knowledge of the one true God was left at this time before Abraham. Another god was called El', short for Elohim', used later by the Hebrews as the generic name for God.

Tablet 1860 names the five cities of Genesis 14:2 in the same order, i.e. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. Up until the discovery of the Ebla tablets, the existence of these biblical cities was questioned; yet, here they are mentioned as trade partners of Ebla. This record predates the great catastrophy involving Lot when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.

Also included in the archive are very early Canaanite creation and flood stories which very closely resemble that of the Bible. This is not surprising as these people would have descended from the generation after the flood and so would have had a common history of these events!

These tablets provide much evidence of early life in Syro-Palestine and give a rich background to the lives of Abraham and the Patriarchs. It will be truly amazing once the excavations are completed and the tablets fully deciphered.

That said, I mostly agree with your characterization of the choice, with the added hope given a McCain loss that conservatives in Congress will feel freer to fight against the President's agenda if that President has a (D) after their name.

Exacly. Like the numerous Senators that followed Bush over the perverbial cliff when he was pushing amnesty. Likely, many would have NOT followed that liberal agenda if it came from a Democrat president. But, at the very least, when the House Republicans balked at backing it, Bush and Rove villified them. McCain would do much more, since he is a much nastier person. At least with a Democrat in the WH, the conservatives in congress won't be attacked by their own party for sticking to principles.

Has anyone seen these kinds of lines in their cities and towns for food stamps? Or, are these numbers reflecting the number of illegal aliens taking advantage of US benefits?

Here, it's only the illegals. With constructions jobs gone because of the housing mess, we 'get' to support them with free handouts now. I 'thank' McCain for encouraging this mess.

What is actually 'dying slow deaths' is conservatism.

I disagree. What's dying a slow death is a very particular brand of conservativism. Let me be clear: I don't get to define conservatism, nor do you, nor does Jim. It is a consensus, with some principles agreed upon. Yet, even those principles change. It is the nature of politics.

It's hard to vote for someone who is not interested in keeping his promises.

Most candidates wait until AFTER they're elected to break their campaign promises. I think this shows his disdain for conservatism. He can't even keep up the charade until November.

No wonder you want McCain... he's against the First Amendment too. It's called Freedom of Speech. You ought to read up on it.

Now that is an excellent point.

I've been enjoying this thread. The thing I love about most Freepers is that when told we can't do something, we go out of our way to do it if it fits in with our ideology. Liberals are the exact opposite and would just follow along, IMO.

I appreciate your post. I absolutely hate where we conservatives find ourselves in this election. Yes, McCain PROBABLY is better than either of the other two potential candidates, but there is really no way to know what he will morph into should he become president. I say that as a former Arizonan who once both supported and voted for McCain only to have him say, do and vote for all of the things that so many have vilified him for. He has earned the animosity so many here and elsewhere have expressed.

Trust once lost is almost impossible to regain and that is the problem with McCain. Reminds me of a quote from Jackie Brown:

Ordell Robbie: "You can't trust Melanie but you can trust Melanie to be Melanie."

Change "Melanie" to "McCain" and that's the dilemma we conservatives have to vote for or not.
