America: just one Puerto Rico from becoming fascist.

Much like DC, Puerto Rico has it's periodic bouts of thinking it'll become a full state, with Senators and everything. Freepers assume this is yet another precursor to fascism.

Lera has some data:

Every single Puerto Rican I ever met loved socialism

Para-Ord.45 knows what is happening:

Open borders, felons voting,Puerto Ricans voting...

Totalitarians need votes NOW, November is coming fast.

Vince Ferrer thinks every time is a good time for Civil War talk!

Odd that our last civil war was also preceeded by years of the free state/slave state territorial games that are being recreated in the census, immigration reform, now statehood issues.

upstanding has predictions:

within the next couple of years, we're likely to see the US expand to 52 states in order to ensure communist control over the federal legislature... any bets on when America's Mussolini and his compliant media is going to launch the campaign to pack "expand" the Supreme Court?

muawiyah wants to make separate states out of all the cities, to cement Republican control.

carve out New York City/Longisland as a state giving us two new Republican Senators, AND carve out Chicago, giving us another couple of new Republican Senators, and maybe carve out San Fran/Sacramento/Hollyweird/Beverly Hills as a new state, and that gives us another two Republican Senators.

That's 6 new Republican Senators, and most of the worst lot of Democrats find themselves cooped up in states that cannot finance themselves.

That's more fascist than what Freepers think Obama is doing!

Mobilemitter goes wit hthe old standby - the rape analogy:

like asking some young teen age girl, "Do you want to continue being a virgin?" Well, most probably don't. However, some may be thinking about marriage,some maybe thinking about some cute guy in college or perhaps the 'love of their life' which they have yet to meet. You see, that question lets you just....fill in the blank with whatever CHANGE you might be dreaming of. Much like Obama did with his election campaign.

Imagine the surprise on the young girls face when the very next week a guy shows up to rape her. Yep, she is no longer a virgin. Maybe not exactly what she had 'hoped' for....but hey, this is the way you get things done today's progressive politics.

European Civil War

Freepers analyze the results of the Greek economy. It is not optimistic for Greece, but it is optimistic for Freepers' bloodthirst:

Marty62 predicts the "euro radicals" are gonna start akillin'

So it’s really a WORLD crisis. Not just GS. HUMMMMM..this kind of stuff can get REALLY ugly fast. and everyone knows that euro radicals are not adverse to killing people.

myknowledge blames the "global elites."

The globalist elite banks have thrown the Greek economy in the toilet by design so that they can financially enslave it. That’s why.

qwertypie thinks Socialism is all addictive. Except for Medicare, I'll wager.

Socialism is a drug disorder. Besides getting people hooked, it distorts reality. Goods and services cease to be necessities or luxuries, and become rights to be paid for by others. When the pipeline fails, the addicts go bonkers.

ichabod1 is gettin kind of a war boner thinking about it:

I heard some in Greece are saying “We gave the world Democracy. You OWE US!”

Looks like the less equal animals are rising up against the pigs. There Will Be Blood.

Rutles4Ever is even more excited:

If you think things got ugly in Greece, just wait.

I don’t say this lightly: This kind of economic destruction could lead to war.

And I mean war in Europe. Civil war. Revolution. War between states.

This could unwind real quick.

rcrngroup basically has a wargasm.

Once capitalism collapses (in Europe & very soon in the U.S.) and the productive tax paying sector has all but been squeezed into oblivion, then who is going to pay the taxes & all the entitlement programs & welfare programs & bloated gubmint agencies & bloated gubmint pensions?

Or maybe that will just be the start of worldwide anarchy & Armegeddon!

Oh my stars and garters!

Freepers are all atwitter over Obama saying how many nuclear weapons we have. Just that. Just the number. But to Freepers it's treason!

originalbuckeye is sure this vital info will lead to serious results.

This REGIME is going to get us all killed!!

MarkL demands results now!

I’m sure Chia-Head in North Korea will announce that the Norks are cutting back on their nuclear arsenal as well, and Iran will immediately stop their nuclear weapons program, in order to sit around a campfire and sing Kum_Bay_YAH with President Obama and Secretary Clinton...

originalbuckeye sees this as all part of the treason.

That was my first thought the day after the election in November 2008.

‘Now all our enemies will know all our secrets’. Too sad to think about.

JudgemAll blames Obama's racism:

Treason and racism and race card. They hate America, America the white or what not. It is obvious who they work for.

The black and foreign Nazies are on the rise again. I am surprized no Hitler is yet surfacing from Europe yet.

sport....yeah:

We are dealing with the most evil and perverse that ever breathed. That others have seemed to be more evil and perverse is only because they have hhad more power than these do at this point in time.

Thatcher reelected in UK!

To sum up Freepers' reactions to the hung parlament election in the UK: Thatcherthatcherthatcherthatcher.

Steely Tom starts off:

Margaret Thatcher’s elevation to Prime Minister in 1979 was the first sign, for me, of hope during a most depressing time. The press here in America had not so much as mentioned her name before he election to high office, which only made it seem more sudden and shocking when she began to be heard publicly, a down-the-line conservative who made no apologies and took no grief from anyone.

Let this story be the same sort of harbinger for us, 31 years later.

Later Freepers just drop that last attempt to tie in with current events entirely.

manc:

I know about maggie and she was great, she broke the unions especially scargill and the miners and that is why most hate her , well that and the likes of the BBC lying as usual.

Jim 0216:

What a time that was. Thatcher, then Reagan, the culmination of a never-before-seen (in many years) nation-wide prolonged corporate intercessory prayer in many churches for this country and the world. God answered those prayers with this really pretty miraculous time with people like Jeanne Kirkpatrick in the U.N. also.

I hope our prayers now can avail like that now, but with an added end of abortion-infanticide.

Frantzie:

Anyone remember her telling RINO Poppy Bush not to “Go Wobbly.”

Cold Heat comes in for a little on-topic:

Hopefully tomorrow is a new day but the Tories are too soft.

For the most part, they are right wing lefties compared to our politics. Unfortunately for GB, they have submerged themselves in socialism.

We can't afford to do likewise. Who would then protect the lefties from the Bear?

The Bear? Russia? Wow, it must really be 1979!

Tin foil time!

Some explosion at a Texas refinery has Freepers spinning all whatever their pet conspiracy may be:

hoagy62 points out that comspiracy theorists were crazy

Didn’t a few FReepers discuss this very scenario back a couple years ago? How many foreign-born people are now truck drivers?

justsaynomore lists all the explosions in the last month, and that spells conspiracy!

I’m sure it’s all a coincidence /sarc

Then you have the attempts at NYC, Philadelphia, and the exploding bag just this week...

tiredoflaundry gives readers a choice:

Eco or Muslims terrorists?

historyrepeatz points out yet another issue: no bodies from the explosion!

The driver of this 18-wheeler is MISSING. Just like the 11 oil rig workers are “MISSING”. What’cha gonna say now you anti-coincidence people? I’ve got my shiney new TIN FOIL HAT ON AND I’M PROUD!

historyrepeatz again:

By the way, we are under attack.. As we have been since the Clinton era.. Not enough people are stepping back at seeing what’s happening.

Ditter tries for the best:

Oh dear the driver is missing, that looks bad. But it might be only that the driver is Mexican and they run like h*ll when they are involved in an accident.

The NY idiot bomber

The latest bomb scare followed the usual trajectory (Step 1. Assume he's Muslim. Step 2: be angry about lack of profiling. Step 3: We should nuke wherever he's from!) And this fourth step isn't new either, but I've been traveling so this is where I came in.

I guess this guys was on a plane and taxiing before it turned around. Never mind that there are like 10 hours in the air you can divert an airplane, or that we may not know the whole story. Freepers know who to blame: every liberal they can!

purplelobster assumes this is Obama's fault, and he's blaming someone else!

Barry fumbles again. Rather than just admit that he screwed up again he gets out the teleprompter and blames the airline. Barry’s need to present himself as infallible is the overriding concern. His bumbling reaction to this is much like his bumbling reaction to the oil spill, where he takes no steps to fix the problem, but simply enjoys pointing the trademark Barry Guilty Finger of Shame.

BOBTHENAILER knows the FBI is full of sekret Muslims. Behind every tree...

an F.B.I. surveillance team that had found Mr. Shahzad in Connecticut lost track of him — it is not clear for how long

they must have stopped for prayers to Allah

Skip Ripley is such a victim!

Look...the Federal Government can’t track allll of these international terrorists. They have to devote a substantial number of man hours and resources to keeping an eye on those tea party crackpots.

K-oneTexas:

Lapses? I seem to remember ‘lapses’ with the Shoe Bomber. And ‘lapses’ with the Underwear Bomber. Others come to mind too.

Napolatano is as bad or worse as Janet Reno or Jamie Gorelick before her.

Uhhh shoe bomber was Bush.

353FMG has the usual question:

Putting all kidding aside, has anyone ever considered whose side [Napolatano] may be on? She is a RAT, you know, and RATs are not pro-American.

freekitty sums it all up:

It’s real simple. The simpleton in the WH let him on the plane.

Pray the gay away

The latest anti-Gay crusader to coe out as gay is this George Rekers character. Freepers' reactions are predictable:

a fool in paradise deflects:

And yet the Left still believes that Barney Frank is credible and deny that his rentboy executive at Fannie's sexual favors played any role in his handling of the banking crisis:

a fool in paradise again, defending hypocrisy:

A sinner can be sinful and still acknowledge that it is a sin.

Homosexual activists deny it is a sin at all.

BenKenobi on how gayness is like an addiction:

That is true, but a sinner, especially coming free from a gay lifestyle is basically the same as an alcoholic. He can’t have any exposure to it.

rogue yam takes lessons from this whole thing:

Whenever a homosexual gets caught masquerading as a Christian conservative the leftists trumpet this as a lesson about Christian conservatives.

What it really is is a lesson about homosexuals.
