General Petraeus or general Betr...wait

Freepers have their ideals, but they are really all about hating or loving people. The hate is, of course, stronger than the love. Sarah can do no wring, except when she endorses the hated McCain.

The best way to get on the "love" list is to have someone they hate disparage you in some way. Thus Petraeus, a military man previously maligned in an ad by move-on back in the day, is a Freeper hero.

S0 what to do when he says some troops might be put in danger if that random church of 40 people holds their Koran burn? Freepers love hating Muslims! But they love Petraeus! Oh noes!

(To be fair, some few Freepers think the Koran burning is petty crap, but Free Republic's brief moments of sanity are not any fun)

Joan Kerrey thinks insults lead to learning:

Muslims are never going to like us. Why are we concerned when their ideology dictates our overthrow and conquest?

I’m surprised that our generals even consider political correctness in their quest to defeat the enemy. War, especially, is not the time for worrying what the enemy thinks of us.

The more our free speech insults them, the better. They need insulting and they need to learn that we’ll defend that right at all costs.

Tagurit thinks if we don't burn the Koran, we're basically going to go Sharia:

So,,,Are we supposed to do as they say, or tell them where to go?
Bowing to their demands is admitting defeat, and the beginning of succumbing to shariah law.

BURN ‘EM IF YA GOT ‘EM!!!

Hugin thinks not insulting Muslims is a bigger threat to the troops than insulting Muslims is:

With all due respect to the good General, political correctness is a much greater threat to our troops than Americans burning Korans in Florida. Jihadis bomb Christians as sport in that part of the world, but we mustn't antagonize the backwards, moon-god worshiping pedophiles, because it my interfere with our brilliant plan to make them love us and want democracy.

PAR thinks building that Mosque is the same as burning Korans.

Wonder if the liberals who cite the constitution to defend the 911 mosque will also defend the right to burn the quran? I am sick of the whole world kowtowing to Islam for any perceived slight. Let the chips fall where they may, then deal out any necessary punishment to radical muslims swiftly and harshly.

Screw diplomacy!

mastervisa thinks war is simple:

The heck with these bastards. If you can burn the flag you can burn what ever you want!! FREE SPEECH !! Petraeus needs to go kill people and break things and not worry about free speech. Get your helmet on and go shoot people!!

Free speech means you must do stupid crap!

Tzimisce's a regular or I would think this was parody of Freeper know-nothingism:

Laugh.

Aren't we fighting the Taleban because they do evil, rotten things?

So if we don't burn the Quran, they'll be nicer to us?

This guy is/was leading our troops in battle? Are you serious?

They're building a mosque at Ground Zero and we're worried about their feelings?????????

In the face of this overwhelming stupidity, why am I unemployed???????????????????????????????????

Note: there is a longer thread that got pretty heavily edited by the mods, I think in favor of the sane folks, for what it's worth.

Obama cuts the wrong taxes

Obama proposes a tax credit for business research. Freepers predictably line up against it:

COBOL2Java hates research:

So...give tax breaks to business efforts that don't pay off for several years, and penalize current activity by closing breaks that are helping right now. Yeah, that's the ticket!

rep-always just knows this hurts capitalism:

What the heck is this? What invention in the name of stick to the american people and capitalism is this imbecile coming up with now?

Mygirlsmom knows that research secretly means liberal stuff:

"business research" = fairytale pie in the sky green technology crap.

Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid! just thinks this is stupid:

Can Obama be more of an idiot? Does the MSM really think this last minute load of crap will get them re elected?

ThunderSleeps knows tax increases are coming:

I will 100% guaran-damn-tee you that hussein increases taxes on companies far more than the "break" he may give them on research. This is a sucker ploy, just like when they crowed about trimming all of 17 million from a budget just before blowing 700 billion on porkus.

RC2 has this opus:

These fools have no idea what they are doing. Or do they?

To accomplish these plans, they will have to borrow more money from other countries. The borrowing, spending must stop and tax relief needs to be given to all Americans. You can’t tax the wealthy and not expect the middle class to pay for it.

The wealthy will simply increase the price of their goods and the middle class will pay for it.

Everything this admin has done has failed. Which means that they don’t know what they are doing. In the process, they will totally ruin this country.

"These fools have no idea what they are doing. Or do they?......they have no idea."

UnwashedPeasant knows who is behind this policy:

Soros does a lot of really important business research that needs to be subsidized so it can stimulate the economy. Why all the skepticism?

It's a Trojan horse tax cut! It seems all conservative and all, but if you like it you're helping Soros!

Monday potpourri.

caww knows why some Disney employee wanted to wear a headscarf - it was a victory headscarf!

Keep in mind to Islam the scarf the woman wear represents Islams victory over a country and submission to Islam...when they wear them in our country and if our politicians wear them in the Middle East. This is why the scarf is such a huge issue for Mulims...same as their Minieretts...it all denotes submission to Islam.

Swede Girl on Obama's new carpet:

Barry’s looks to have an African touch, and it looks more like a den than a formal room. Not sure if Michelle had a hand in this, because it would be so much worse than it is. It would have mismatched patterns, colors, and themes, and it would deliberately assault the senses if Michelle had designed it. The woman has no taste whatsoever. That being said, the room isn’t as bad as it could have been.

left that other site analyzes the "The arc of the moral universe is long" quote

What “arc” for example?

Do “arcs” lead upward to a higher justice?

Or downward to depravity?

The NATURAL motion of the arc is downward, towards entropy, and oblivion.

Yes, MLK was totally into entropy.

TheClintons-STILLAnti-American on why black people don't love Glenn Beck, it's cause other blacks don't let them!

Blacks are not ALLOWED to attend events such as Beck's without risking being ostracized as "Uncle Tom's".

That's the biggest reason there are not many black people there.

They're REQUIRED to line up behind those of similar skin color and the whites approved by them, and criticize everyone else.

Some "progress".

ohioWfan takes solace in the Lord, not that things will turn out but that Obama will get his.

If I didn't have the Lord, I would really be afraid about the future because of this punk boy king. But I know he will pay for his sins and his crimes in the end, and that keeps me going.

Psalm 144 has a plan:

*IF* we do take the GOP out of the Rockefeller Republicans’ hands, the pot can be kept simmering with legislation that would restore liberty and prosperity at a rate and to a degree that BO cannot tolerate in his Leninist soul. He vetos, vetos, vetos, to the increasing fury of the electorate.

Examples:

Authorize real domestic energy production (drill here, drill now);

Repeal Health Control, extent Congressional health plan to the entire populace;

Abolish the EPA, the Department of Education etc., and cut in half such monstrosities are BATF and the State Department;

Abolish public sector unions;

Defund all extra-governmental entities such as ACORN, the NEA, and all unions.

He would veto each of these. Do it monthly. Reveal him as the statist parasite that he is. He won’t win 2012, except Detroit, DC, Chicago and Philadelphia. Crushed like Carter.

Just keep trying to abolish the Department of Education over and over, and the US will totally come around!

sbMKE:

Name one Muslim Revolutionary war figure.
One Muslim framer of the Constitution.
One Muslim WWI hero.
One Muslim WWII leader.

One prominent muslim leader before the 1960s counterculture movement.

It's almost like they were a marginalized minority!

mojo114 manages to blame Obama for Arizona Governer Brewer's massive brain fart in the debate:

What the Feds are doing to Arizona is overwhelming for her and her staff. Not to mention the cost that the citizens of Arizona must end up paying to fight for their rights.
Governor Brewer is, no doubt, exhausted.

Liz enumerates the Hollywood agenda:

THE HOLLYWIERD CREED (they do believe in something)

1. Christians are evil.

2. Women are to be valued only for their cleavage.

3. Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.

4. Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem no matter the cost.

5. The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution.

6. Standardized IQ tests are racist; racial quotas and affirmative action are not.

7. Conservatives are racists; everybody knows that Black people can't make it on their own without big-buck government assistance programs and Hollyweirdos to proselytize the message 24/7.

8. Abortion is a natural right. The Founders just forgot to put it in the Constitution.

9. Normal sex is perverted. Threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are just new ways to get a thrill.

10. Moral indignation is a liberal's standard strategy for endowing our output with superiority.

11. Victimization is our basic belief by which we blame and find others responsible for our own personal failures, then expect taxpayers, deep-pocketed individuals, or the courts to bail us out. It feels good to be in the throes of "victimization" and either A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) playing victim, D) commiserating over victims, or E) creating another class of victims to bleed over.

12. It's a liberal's duty to treat Middle America in the manner of raising mushrooms, that is to say, keep them in the dark and feed them lots of horse manure.

13. Capitalism creates oppression; government creates opportunity.

14. The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming value. Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".

I like how #3 and #4 are directly contradictory. And #11 hates victims even as #12 claims victim-hood.

Saturday Pix

Sane Presidents hate their own ideas.

Is this about the debt? What's with the bionic arm?

ACORN Training?

The Kennedys: all about urine.

Obama is the real slaver!

And the First Lady hatred continues.

Cause Obama's color is kinda like poo, get it!

Ungrateful American People!

So many traitors! I only recognize Valerie Plame and John Kerry.

And of course Obama, the angry traitor.

Hyperbole much?

Allowing flag burning is like Hitler!

ExTexasRedhead responding to a US District Judge overturning a flag-mutilation law due to freedom of speech:

We’re truly living a nightmare. Now, we know how people felt in Germany in 1932-33.

We all hate Fred Phelps, but Ptarmigan thinks he's basically a serial killer:

Fred Phelps, what a rotten scumbag like Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and Osama bin Laden.

Muslims go home!

It's funny how in the end all bigots sound the same. You can start talking about fancy genetic intelligence predispositions, or about the flaws in a decentralized religion that has not had a reformation or whatever. But in the end, it reverts to the same nativist yawps:

Charlespg

go back your freking holes islamasavages

blam

Go home you POS people!

airborne

They are intentionally trying to incite violence.

goodnesswins

UH....YOU idiots CREATED the HOSTILE atmosphere....on 9/11! Now....go somewhere else....like back to your Muslim country...which we are NOT!

What to do with Pallis

Freepers know what to do with Palistinians.

Farmer Dean

Just feed their corpses to pigs,collect the feces and air drop it onto the next Hamas rally.

Tainan

I’m not quite so violent. First, drop pamphlets telling of the salvation of Jesus and ask that all who have received Christ as their savior and want to denounce violence forever to leave the area.

THEN carpet bomb the rest.

IMR 4350

Napalm em. Cluster bomb the survivors when they scatter.

Here's another idea from someone that is as far removed from religion as you can get.

They want to build a palace to a pervert everywhere they go, bomb a cross into ever city that opposes us. Let them rebuild when they submit.

4 year old terrorists turn into 24 year old terrorists. Why wait?
