lexington minuteman 1775 leads with the circular firing squad. Also, bonus Holocaust ref!
Unless GOP comes up with conservative canidates with spine. I will no longer be voting for GOP canidates. We might as well have the Al Frankens of the world representing us and all the evil that goes along with that.
The parallel I see was during the lead up and during the war. The church in Germany stayed silent to the HOLOCAUST except for a small group called the CONFESSING church.I don't see much difference here.
GOPJ brings in a recent meme:
Minnesota is the new Southside Chicago.
Makes total sense!
In a similar vein, Night Hides Not invokes the Savior:
Are there any balls left in the Republican Party?!
They're buried in the frozen tundra of Sarah's backyard. McCain did his best to give them away, and Sarah snapped, "if you don't want them, I'll take 'em!"
She'll guard them safely until 2012.
An uncomfortable metaphor? You betcha!
johncocktoasten has a much more exciting metaphor:
Republicans are prisoners in their own minds. The are prisoners to their “rules” and “collegiality”
Democrats are the equivalent of Orks from the Lord of the Rings series. Zombies that march unimpeded toward their objective, acquiring power and using acquired power to acquire more. When one is struck down, they just put another one up and keep rolling.
Orks aren't zombies! Also, I like the whole "if we throw out rules we get stronger" idea, even if it is kind of the opposite of Lord of the Rings' theme. Anarchy equals power!
fortunate sun already has a spectacularly petty plan!
The strategy if Franken is seated in the Senate is to blizzard him with
correspondence and tie up his phone lines from second 1.
lormand is pining for the fjords. The hot, polluted fjords:
This crap would not fly in Texas.
Texas - What America used to be
Muggy, polluted and unhappy?
I'm pretty glad these guys can vent their rage onto the internets, rather than taking to the streets or having their klan-rallies.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is lormand saying that they don't count everyone's vote in Texas? Because I'm pretty sure that Freepers LURVES them some democracy (well, in theory anyway, not so much in practice, apparently).
O yes absolutely: the real problem with the current Republican party is that they're just too goshdarned -civil-, not willing to really get in there and fight dirty, you know.
ReplyDeletebut by all means, yes, Freepers, you nurse those grievances. Don't vote! Stay in your bunkers! It's much safer in there, yes.
