I'm a little concerned....

[JimThayner]

umm...I'm a little concerned about some stuff on this website. why do we call democrats 'rats? they call us "repugnants" I think we're above that kind of childish namecalling. I think we're coming down a little too hard on the liberals too. I'm an Independent, and I try to find the truth. well, the TRUTH is that 90% of the time, conservatives are correct. why do i voice opposition? Aren't we above all this stuff that the democrats do? I think we need to prove to America that WE are controlled, clear thinking, intelligent, and sophistacted people. NOT people who go and cheer and jeer at the other side. my suggestion is this: Instead of going out to cheer and geer at the democrats, we should go out and do community service projects, hand out fliers, and do stuff to help the community. THAT is what will separate us from the democrats. WE spend our time living what we chant about, the democrats spend their time chanting all the time. Talkting instead of DOING. I think we need to go beyond a "political party." I DO believe that the liberals will destroy our country if not stopped. However, i don't want us to destroy it in the process of trying to stop them. Lets show them up: do work for others, and such. Organize relief for disaster victims. (headlines: FreeRepublic first on site rendering aid to distaster victims, liberals shocked at being shown how much jerks liberals are" Spend less time and money on trying to talk the liberals to death with reason (obviously that won't work). Spend time DOING. My father knew California State Assemlyman Brian (B.T.) Collins since they were in Boy Scouts together. Look up BT Collins. he was a POPULAR Republican in CALIFORNIA! He spent his time helping other people, and used the phrase "is the world any better because you were in it?" I would like to offer my own version: "Is america better off because of the Republican Party's majority?" What do you all think about this? BTW, don't worry, I'm not a liberal. jim

Well done, brief and to the point:

We call the Democrat's, Rats because it is true.

... Republicans acknowledge the very real probability that Hitlery is the antichrist and her looks are hideous enough to revive the old jokes about shaving the dog's butt and teaching it to walk backwards because it's so ugly.

Oh, that's good...LOL!!

You'll find alot more reasoned and intelligent debate between the members of this board than any place else.

Take that to the bank.

Why is it ALWAYS up to us to be civil?

Because, in his heart JT knows that to ask a Democrat to be civil is to ask to have your head handed to you.

JT, you ask why some call Democrats RATS; let me answer with a question of my own: :

What do you call people who practice on the credulity of the naive and the ignorant?

[Irene Adler]

""They took the gloves off a long time ago. The left in this country hates America, hates Western civilization, hates free enterprise, hates freedom and hates the Constitution. They have declared war on everything we hold dear and stop at nothing to wage it."

"That, my friend, is ridiculous, and it's that kind of willful blindness and demonization of others..."

That, my friend, is truth, plain and simple. Have a gander at DU.

[madrastex]

I just HATE liberals.Most liberals are demcRATS. QED.

[A Navy Vet]

"We have a chance to convince people, but not if they trivialize our message, because they can't see through the invective. One of my friends, who is a moderate, has type-cast FreeRepublic as a bunch of loons and if you have a preconeption of "right-wingers", then it is easy to see."

Thanks, I was just getting ready to make that point. Exhibiting the childish and boorish behavior of the left is nothing other than feel good for our side. Smart, personalized, condensed (soundbites) promotion of our ideals is more effective than standing toe-to-toe in a shouting match. The moderates walk away shaking their heads and don't vote.

[antidisestablishment]

I quit discussing religion here a while ago. (Talk about flames! LOL)

But I can make an exception this time because your Bible must be missing a couple of verses:

• Romans 9:13
  As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

• Hebrews 1:9
  You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions."
• Revelation 2:6
  But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Seems like Jesus hates some things. And that is not even getting into the numerous "gentle and kind" speeches toward the Pharisees and Saducees. Jesus was not one to stand for people who abused their positions. Seems to me he even got angry and took a whip to a bunch of them. Hardly what I would consider moderate.

And, yes, salvation is available to all. But those who are not saved are going to hell. And that includes all the people who are National Democrat Party icons--every one of them has sold their souls to the devil himself.

I'm more interested in YOU telling ME why you are so "concerned" that we act like human beings and vent frustration with humor, just like human beings, because we ARE human beings.

Perhaps this thread would be better titled :

WHY DOESN'T THE FORMERLY SILENT MAJORITY GO BACK TO BEING SILENT???

Nice dream you have, but ......... And Ann Coulter is never vulgar or crude. You just don't like what she says in plain English. Doesn't fit your ideas about how things really are.

Well if they're that bad, Irene, I guess they should be rounded up and either thrown in prison, deported, or killed. There goes half the country. After that's done, you can start setting your sights on who remains to determine who is less than pure. Ultimately, it will just be you. Enjoy.

[SwinneySwitch]

I call them DemonRats because I think they are led by the prince of darkness, satan himself! The Rat is only there to resemble the democrats party name.

It had to be done.

Q. Why are Democrats called RATS?

A. In the 2000 campaign Bush/Cheney produced and ran a 30-second (900 frames) commercial criticizing the Gore/Lieberman prescription plan, it would allow the bureaucrats to decide rather than letting you decide. The last frame (1/30th of a second) had the last 4 letters of the word "bureaucrats" in it. The commercial ran for about two weeks with no complaints, then the Gore camp had The New York Times run a front page story about Subliminal Bush.

Since then we have called Democrats RATS. Fitting.

First & foremost the rats in the media will never willingly give you favorable coverage secondly you will find that freepers in all walks of life from a to z but as soon as it is discovered that they are conservative then the PC facism starts . We are in a fight to the knife & the knife to the hilt with folks who will not stop at anything to achieve /retain power even the sexual exploitation of small children!!! If you want to try playing by the Marquis of Queensbury rules you will find yourself literally ground into raw hamburger.

"Well if they're that bad, Irene, I guess they should be rounded up and either thrown in prison, deported, or killed. There goes half the country."

I didn't say that; you did. I don't care to have words put into my mouth. Those are NOT my beliefs, and it is frankly dishonest (rather like the libs.) for you to imply that they are. How very clintonista of you.
