While Freepers
initially rallied around the Duggers, they've since backed off, and are largely content to condemn them as creepy cultists who they never liked. Hence their reaction to
dware:
This has been heartbreaking to see. The Satanists wanted to get rid of them, and they got their wish. The only winner here is Satan, plain and simple.
Don’t blame or give Satan any undue credit here. The Duggars sinned and it’s their own fault. Had they dealt with this years ago by proper channels this would have not come back to bite them in the a$$. The tried to hide it as Numbers 32:23 says “ and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.”
Yet they'll break out the tin foil rather than believe white biker gangs can fight:
Tupelo:
I am afraid this is looking more and more like a “Branch Banditos” or maybe a “Bandito Dravidian” affair.
fwdude's list gets derailed by a metaphor:
I’ve already banned the display of the American Flag on my property over what it’s become and currently represents.
The reasons for this are several:
1. It has become a fetid, rotting carcass, unrelated and bearing no resemblance to that great, godly Nation founded by our Fathers.
2. The rotting carcass is infested with maggots that are moving the carcass, but the carcass itself no longer has any life in it.
3. Pledging allegiance to this parody of a once-great nation is enabling the parody.
4. It represents a nation composed largely of mindless parasites, whose only concern is its next meal off those who are productive and moral.
5. Its head, and those who installed it, are enemies of the moral, the rational, and the sane.
Crusher138 seems to think the State is involved in baptisms and communions:
When it comes to Gay "Marriage" I am mostly hacked off at the cheapening of the sacrament of marriage. Image if people said...
"Yeah, I ate a huge communion at the Casino Buffet the other day."
or
"Went to the aquatic center yesterday before work and did ten laps of baptism."
Just like eating doesn't make it communion, and getting wet doesn't make it baptism, two people pledging to love each other doesn't make it Marriage.
PA-RIVER may be the last person making this laughable argument:
When marriage becomes a gay parade, heterosexual men will lose all respect for it. This will result in a loss of respect for women. Without respect for women, there is no respect for family and children. They go hand in hand.
Deagle makes the same anti-speech argument fascists have been making since freedom of speech was a thing:
Sorry, but that is what it will come down to. Democracy or Sharia Law. Your choice.
Sounds undemocratic I know but sometimes (like Germany) there are times for choices and now is the time to ban those that want a different government. Bringing them here will only exacerbates the problem as long as they want a different government. Eventually, that leads to revolution doesn’t it?
max americana has sympathy for exactly one illegal immigrant:
My aunt was an illegal alien. She applied for citizenship because she was damn tired of living like a criminal. From illegal to citizen, and she did it properly from lawyers to showing her paying taxes via ITIN so she wasn’t a bum to the system like these “Americans” who EBT their way to living.
This is how it should be, make it extremely hard like we do in Canada where now there is a much stricter quota system in place this year.
rfreedom4u wonders why liberals let Hillary Clinton continue, what with her being a Democrat and all!
Strike 1: She’s a democrat.
Strike 2: She’s a Clinton
Strike 3: She’s a liar.
Strike 4: Clinton body trail.
How many strikes will libs give her?
Talisker is sure Hillary only looks shocked:
She hiding a huge smile with that hand - she was watching Gaddafi being raped to death per her orders by the future members of ISIS.
Taxman says what they're all thinking:
Hitlery is a LIEberal!
LIEberals LIE!
Therefore, Hitlery LIEs!
About everything!
napscoordinator thinks American imperialist John Bolton is too internationalist:
I’m not likely to vote for any politician who had anything to do with the UN.
Thank. I won’t either. Supporting such a terrorist organization should make all Republicans shutter. But yet they are ready to give him the keys to the White House? Hard to believe.
Once again
HomerBohn has put off America's death until the next election:
Fact is that upcoming is the most IMPORTANT time EVER in the history of the United States of America. We cannot elect another Democrat to serve in the White House, and more importantly, the SKANK Hillery Rodham Clinton. If you think things are bad with this Black/White ISIS supporting Muslim President in the WH today, wait until these American Idiots elect Hitlery. Talking about the SHTF, we will be kissing the US goodbye forever. 12 years of Democrat Marxist leadership will NOT be a good thing. We MUST prevent this from happening AT ALL COSTS, even if it means a RE-Revolutionary WAR.
Mr. Jeeves's Asian wife is one of the good ones:
I was lucky enough to marry an Asian woman who had lived here a long time, already become a citizen, and had not become Americanized at all. She doesn't watch US television and considers white American women lazy, fat, surgically-altered golddiggers...so she doesn't have any single American friends to negatively influence her. And since she's kind of a dragon lady, her single Asian friends do whatever she tells them to. :)
On the other hand, I've seen the other side. The two of us have watched the process unfold as a friend of ours married a Philippine woman and brought her to the US over the last three years. We even gave her a job in our company. But she became Americanized at an alarming rate - so much so that our friend wants to move back to the Philippines with her before any more damage is done.
It's unfair to blame women as a group - the Gramscian-Hollywood culture in this country has become so toxic that it requires great strength of character for a man or a woman of any background to overcome its influences and remain an independent thinker.
Gramscian!
V_TWIN is hilariously dumb:
“New guidelines on how officers were to interact with the public, especially blacks, were often imposed”
Sounds a bit like sharia law to me.
Keep on keeping on,
Red Badger!
I still believe Vince was killed either in the WH or in the parking lot.................
unlearner exhorts Freepers not to fall into name calling, that's Obama's thing:
Personally, I think derisive terms about sexuality are unproductive, too. I stick to calling same-sex sexuality “homosexual” generally. Otherwise people just get caught up in name calling rather than persuading.
The left persuades through appeals to emotion. The right usually appeals to logic and reason. It is important to show the faulty logic of emotional appeals by demonstrating that the plans, strategies, and actions of the left tend to make the problems they claim to address worse.
You want to help the poor? Good. Embrace free markets. You want to help homosexuals and others with sexual identity issues find peace? Good. Embrace religious liberty. You want citizens to get a good education? Good. Minimize the role of government.
Keep in mind that part of Obama’s strategy has been to keep us continuously agitated with one outlandish action after another. Seems to be working pretty well.
While anger toward Obama is well deserved, we do not need to allow it to take us off message.
Organic Panic is incensed by Gloria Steinem visiting North Korea, having made up her agenda in his head:
Gloria Steinem doesn’t want the North to become a free republic but the rest of the world to be more like North Korea. Juche for all!!! She will be lamenting how bad things are for women on US college campuses and how Hobby Lobby is forcing women to remain barefoot and pregnant while proclaiming how wonderful women are treated in NK and get free birth control.
If it is a real protest against the government, PLEASE take Moochelle. She’s due for another tax payer funded vacation. Lena Dunham and Sandra Fluck should tag along as well.
The collapse of the arguments about gay marriage lead to gibbering, like
knarf's:
I ask only for the homosexual to point to where it came from
Prove your genesis
If you are not on an evolutionary chart of some kind ... you can't be a member of the human race
If you CAN point to your origin, you were hetero-sexually conceived and birthed
If you were hetero sexually conceived and birthed, you have a gender and an identity
If you claim neither ... you choose to ... claim ... neither
It's a choice
They weren't born queer ... they chose queer.
Graybeard58 hasn't met any gays, so they do not exist:
I had understood the gay population of the U.S.A. is 2% of the populace, which I believe is too high.
Just based on personal observation, I agree with you, too high. Again, just my own experience, I don't know even one self professed queer. Stretching the old memory back, I cannot remember ever knowing one.
Ann Archy sees only gayness and death:
We were just in Ireland a few days ago, and the Pro-Gay "Equality" signs were EVRYWHERE, and I mean EVERYWHERE, which maybe means that Ireland IS dead, just like our once fine country is dead. God help us all.
Oy. My heart goes out to
EQAndyBuzz's daughter. This might explain why EQAndyBuzz has been particularly strident on Freep lately.
My 21 year old bi daughter and I had this conversation last week. Using facts I explained all this to her. Monday night there was a McDonalds commercial on with someone named Max Greenfield. Apparently he is in some show on Fox. The commercial flat out appeals to girls and gays.
And I said this out loud. “This commercial is sooooo gay!” My daughter called me a homophobe and said she no longer feels safe in my house. Needless to say, as much as I love her, she proved my point. She is moving out.
Too much drama.
I'm traveling back home to NY this week, so there will be a bit of filler from my archive of evergreen stories, but I'll do what I can to mix in contemporary stories (I'm looking at you, Palin not-wedding!). And if something big breaks, I'll be sure to give you the Freepers' hot-takes!
