Stupid Hoover Damn...

Freepers are not too happy with the idea that the government can do anything right. Thus, they minimize the Hoover Damn after Rachel Maddow used it as an example of a good government project:

Sam Clements notes that those 1930s Dems tried to screw it up:

It was the democRATS who changed the name from Hoover to Boulder because they wanted to smear Hoover’s name. The name was later changed back to Hoover Dam.

Course, back then the Dems were the conservatives, but don't bother him, he's rolling:
traditional1 knows the unions stop anything from getting done:

Hoover Dam was built with non-Union labor, which reduces costs probably 30%-50%, but without the Union Dues to funnel to Democrats, it can't be done the way things are today.
Between Davis-Bacon, and Federal Contract requirements of Union Labor, private companies that are non-Union are not included in the plans....taxpayers will pick up the slack, and donate through this money-laundering to keep the Unions funded, and pay off Democrats who look after them.

is one of many who attacks the EPA:
hattend

All the great building projects of the 30s, 40s, and 50s would never be built today with the EPA guarding the gates.

SF_Redux's joke makes no sense.

maybe they should dam the Ohio River and flood Chicago

Wonder if they'll attack the moon landing next.

Who'se behind the Cain Sexual Harassment charge? Obama!

Freepers have a different version of Occam's Razor. It's not the simpler explanation, it's the one that implicates Obama the most. Thus this Cain harassment thing cannot be cooked up by Perry or even the hated Romney, since it's all lies and the GOP never plays dirty politics.

Texas Fossil knows it's Obama cause Romney is of such good character:

This has the stench of a Dem hit job, by Obozo’s little toadies.

Think about this. It would be a 2fer. Crush Cain and destroy Perry’s candidacy.

Who would benefit? Romney? Yes, but I doubt he would do this, he has a history of friendship with Cain.

Then Who? Why, Obozo and his merry minions.

Howie66
thinks it's the Dems through their secret minion:

[Perry] makes perfect sense to me. The “former” RAT, Rick Perry no doubt still has ties with the RAT party.

Why am I thinking “Mole”?

Loud Mime gives Obama godlike blackmail powers:

Sometimes I wonder if Obama has his own version of the Clinton FBI files.

NotSoModerate finds the smoking gun - Chicago!! Also Clinton.

The Nat. Restaurant Assoc. runs a major portion of their operation out of Chicago... The execs have access to several clubs and other perks paid for by the Association in Chicago as well. They essentially rub shoulders with the Chicago machine everyday, on a very personal level.

I might add that Cain ripped Clinton a new one on national t.v. over the health care law they tried to pass. No doubt the Clinton's and Rahm made a file on Cain using FBI and IRS assets.

Idabilly is not a fan of women, it seems:

Here we go again! Load all these libtard socialist up and send them to mother Russia. I've grown tired of this crap!
"He did this and that" My response: Shut the #@$% up bi'otch!!

Paperdoll jjust goes full Sarah Palin God Warrior:

We must pray for the safety and well being of Herman Cain. He puts on the full armour of God everyday if he is as smart as I think he is.

Crazy Cabinets

Now that Cain has replaced Palin as the vessel for Freepers' every greasy desire, Freepers fantasize about an all Freeper government. Needless to say, executive experience is not neccesary:

The_Reader_David wants Palin:

I’d like to see Gov. Palin as Secretary of Energy (I hope presiding over the abolition of the Department, merging it with either Commerce or Interior, and then taking over that Department).

I know she’s not a “minority” but the left pushes affirmative action for women, too, and her presence in the cabinet would alone make leftist heads explode.

Basing decisions on what would make liberal heads explode is a rather common factor in Freepers' decisions.

SueRae has this modest proposal:

Paul Ryan - Treasury
Bobby Jindahl - Health and Human Services
James Inhofe -EPA or Interior (heads would explode)
John Bolton -State
Darrell Issa -Justice
SECDEF - Petraus

eCSMaster loves talk show hosts!

Merge Depts of Energy, Interior, Commerce and EPA into Dept of Industry, shrink to 1/4 combined size. Sarah Palin to head.

Rick Santorum - HHS
Liz Cheney - UN Ambassador
Bolton - State
Newt Gingrich - Chief of Staff
Joe the Plumber (Wurzelbach?) - Labor

"Department of Industry." Yep, that sounds environmental!
Texas Eagle wants to keep things nonwhite, or Ann Coulter.

Miguel Estrada as Solicitor General.

Janyce Rogers Brown as Attorney General.

Thomas Sowell as Commerce Secretary.

Walter E. Williams as Education Secretary.

Ann Coulter as Press Secretary.

Star Parker as HHS Secretary.

Allen West as Defense Secretary.

Pan_Yan just wants to watch the US Goverment burn:

Secretary of State - Dr. Doom
Secretary of War - Cthulhu
Secretary of Treasury - Ebenezer Scrooge
Attorney General - Judge Dread
Secretary of Commerce - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Education - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Health and Human Services - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Homeland Security - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Energy - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Agriculture - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Interior - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Labor - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Transportation - Position Eliminated
Secretary of Veterans Affairs - Position Eliminated

The Romney Purge

Well, it's happened. Founding Freeper Jim Robinson has banned all the Romney supporters on Free Republic, much like he did for Giulliani supporters 4 years ago.

As with many regimes, everyone compliments the purge, either out of fear of fanaticism. Though on Free Republic, mostly fanaticism.

semantic thinks it's a good, good thing what JimRob has done:

Well Jim, that is certainly a relief. Even though Romney will most likely get the GOP nomination, that simply illustrates why the GOP is dead to most conservatives.

Now if we can get conservatives to embrace the true meaning of the 1A, just like they do the 2A, then perhaps this poor Republic may have a chance.

Freedom of speech mean banning those who disagree!
NotSoModerate thinks this banning is a metaphor for divorcing from electoral reality:

I think the ban is more about sending a message rather than eliminating the message Romney supporters push.

And the message being sent is, in part, this: as conservatives we are taking a stand once and for all against supporting RINO's foisted upon us by the establishment in the Republican Party. They are no longer welcome in this conservative circle because they relentlessly legislate away our liberty after obtaining our votes through bald faced lies.

I think of it this way: If I ever caught my wife cheating she'd be banned from my life, as in divorce. Free Republic has officially divorced itself from the RINO wing of the Republican Party.

Tennessee Nana doesn't much care what will happen if Romney wins the nomination:

What the .... are people supposed to post if Romney wins the nomination?
_____________________________________________

What difference would that make ???

Romney would not suddenly be OURS...

He would still be THEIRS...

We will continue if any to post AGAINST the liberal RINO Romney...

and FOR a Conservative...

Roll over if you want to...

I never will...

arderkrag has an analogy:

Free Republic isn't the market. It's the concept engineer division at the factory.

I had no idea periodic mass purges of engineers was so common.
gwilhelm56 is drunk with power:

**Please add Ron Paul supporters tothe FR Banned list.**

SPIES!

The FBI says it caught some Russian agents trying to get close to Hillary Clinton. Freepers respond by opening a big can of crazy:

sinanju:

The Russkies need to get with the program! The Saudis already have an agent of theirs in Hillary’s bed for crying out loud!

Seem Hillary's assistant Huma is of Arabic origin. Thus she's a spy, as no arab can be loyal to the US.
Blado just hates Hillary too much to be confined to facts:

Roman Emperor Caligula made his horse, Incitatus, a consul, then a priest.

President Bill Clintigula made his wife, Cankles, a senator, then a foreign minister.

With an ass the size of Arabia and brain the size of a pea, Cankles is a world wide joke.

With politicians like these who needs foreign enemies?

Fresh Wind would like to take this moment to remind everyone Obama's gay:

Well, one thing we don’t have to worry about is Obama being seduced by a beautiful female spy.

On the other hand...

Voter#537 knows Hillary is to awful for spies to get close:

Maybe they did get close to the WITCH.
They didn't stay very long. Who could?
Not even the chief master baiter Slick can stay very long.

dools0007world suspected:

I suspected, just from reading the headline, that it was Hillary. She and Bill are traitors. Onada is not a traitor because he is not a citizen. He is an enemy.

StAnDeliver knows mainstream Dems are to the left of Trotsky!

Why would the Russians bother siding up to a known Trotskyite? Madame Cankles is further Left than the spy!
Russia is an oligarchy. This had to be more about business espionage...

Tigen knows CAPS prove you're making SENSE:

The spies were MINDERS to keep those around OBAMA and HILLERY in line FOR OBAMA and HILLERY. Any questions?
OBAMA and HILLERY have done more damage to this country than the RUSSIANS or MUHAMMADANS combined. Any question of that?

politicianslie has come CONSPIRACY FACTS for us:

And the Muslims already have their boy in the White House, our first Muslim President. Imagine, an advisor from the Muslim Brotherhood and the headlines is about the Russians!

It's not THEORY it's CONSPIRACY FACT. They own the Demo Party and the idiot Republican's plan is to try to get power back with the next election.

It won't STOP until the Hangings for treason START.

All class

Hillary Clinton's mother has passed away. She seems to have been rather apolitical. Indeed, 2/3 of Freepers say "RIP" or the coy "no comment." 1/3 are total dicks:

Paladin2 is reminded how he hates Obama:

Did she ever get to live in the White Hut? Tag along on ostentatious “vacations”? Wear a Vietnamese coolie hat?

White Hut. Hmmmmm...

Doctor 2Brains hopes Mom was not proud of her daughter becoming Secretary of State:

This is NOT a comment on the deceased, but Hillary is pure anti-American filth, so I would hope that the deceased was not proud of her.

No one should be proud of Democrats!
When called on his being a dick, Doctor 2Brains responds:

Hey, she pals around with anti-American terrorists and took her thesis “There is Only the Fight” from Saul Alinsky who DEDICATED HIS BOOK TO LUCIFER! Trashing Hillary is ALWAYS called for in every way imaginable.

ALWAYS!
Hillary'sMoralVoid likely thinks irony is a black fly in your Chardonnay.

It is ironic that Hillary’s mom was a pawn in the HillaryCare debates. Recall how Hillary touted her plan as being “Mom-approved”. It is ironic that “Mom” had a nice long life without the “benefit” of government health care. I think her longevity would be less likely with Hillarycare, Obamacare or Romneycare.

Sensitivity switch ON: Comments not intended to offend the deceased, just to point out the irony of the case.

AdamBomb dredges up some old discarded conspiracy theory about Obama's grandmother:

I hope she is being treated better than Obamby’s granny who was on ice for a couple of weeks while Obamby was shredding his birth and college records at her house.

Obama did throw her a tombstone pizza while she was in the freezer, though. Then two weeks later she “died” and they had to unthaw her from the freezer and convert her to ashes.

haircutter is just wondering:

As for Hillary, she has to continue to live with her conscience, wonder how much time she spared for her mom at the end cycle?
just wondering.............

Obama uses ‘Occupy Wall Street’ language in weekly address

Obama is trying to get in on some of that Occupy Everywhere passion. Freepers are pretty sure this makes him Hitler:
The question is, was the invisib1e hand a bully as a kid, or only wishes he was:

dweeb. someone tape his mouth shut.

FreeKeys agrees with the Occupy guys, except he changes the target:

“Crony capitalism” is not capitalism at all. It’s fascism. Making a distinction between wealth creators and wealth acquirers is important — with emphasis on the fact that most politicians and lawyers are the latter.

So CEOs are cool, then.

preamble HitlerHitlerHitlerHitler!

Not Hitler against the Jews. Hitler against the successful.

They are the cause of our problems. THey deserve shame and protest
and violence against them, just like the Jews.

We should go to their homes and confront them.

In fact, Obama is saying, they don’t deserve to live.

That’s the logical conclusion of Obama’s talk.

Disgusting.

Hitlerian.
