Spotlight Friday: HiTech RedNeck

HiTech RedNeck

This guy has been on my spotlight list for well over a year and a half, but he waxes and wants. See, he has this one awesome trick - he calls fellow Freepers Satanists. But he'll go for long stretches without doing so.

Such is not the case at the moment, luckily. So prepare to be amazed at the demon haunted world of HTRN.

With many Freepers, it seems clear they were assholes first, and then kinda figured out a faith that required being an asshole and now abide by it fervently. But HiTech RedNeck is so stubborn and zealous, and randomly takes empathetic anti-Freep views...I almost think he lucked into a faith that taught him to be an asshole.

Regardless, he's mostly standard small government Freep, with perhaps a bit more understanding for the poor than the average. And an awesome habit of dramatically invoking Satan all the time.

How Obama got so clever:

I think Barack Obama is listening to hell. Hell is cleverer than he has shown himself to be.

Rooaaaar:

Isn’t it an adage (though not a requirement), the court follows the election returns? Well, now it can. Looks like the door just came off of the conservative cage. Rooooooarrrrr.

Prideful atheist Nelson Mandela:

Mandela could have been gracious and turned the glory to God... which would have been a segue to racial harmony... but did not. He was selfish and wanted idolization.

A Freeper's parentage:

What’s Perry’s plan for dealing with this FEDERAL issue — will he try to undo this embrace of homosexual behavior in the military or NOT?

You heckle like your father, Satan.

Sex should bear the awe of God

Human sexuality was created by God and it was intended to bear the awe of God. What’s happening is that the awe of the devil is replacing that. God can still win but He has to be asked into the situation. God won’t force Himself down the throat of stubborn sinners.

Some Herm Cain-related logical gymnastics:

Herman Cain was a nice guy. Maybe a bit too nice. Herman Cain gets called a skirt chaser? I think it’s more like a few troubled women were chasing his handsome pants, were rebuffed (even if politely), and the proverbial fury that hell hath not like a woman scorned kicked in. And they expected his wife to have been told... get real! If you’re a loving hubby are you going to tell your wife that unstable women are chasing your pants? And give her all kinds of anxiety and jealousy attacks? No, you’re going to refuse the women’s advances AND keep it quiet to the wife unless it gets so ridiculous that they begin involving her too.

Jesus loved vigilante justice:

If more decent citizens were volunteer soldiers (if that’s what having such a weapon makes them) in the troubled cities, these cities would soon become far less troubled.

Gay newlyweds are satanically happy:

They look like they ate happy juice or something. This is satanic, pardon my French.

Sarah Palin!!!!!!

Like her own Savior, the slain Christ, her resurrection will seem to come awfully quickly on the heels of her “death.” She’s already consulting with the big boys. She has taken a lemon which was partly of her own inadvertent creation (she never imagined the ethics laws she championed would be abused in such an egregious manner) and turned it into, not just lemonade, but something heavenward of ambrosia.

Gay's are encouraging gay suicides:

Wonder what it is like to be a “fag” on the other side of the tracks. Do their companions deliberately withdraw from them when they are “rattled” by “homophobia” simply to produce another sympathy loss for the team? Usually Christians under fire will easily be able to find spiritual support in their communities.

Only God can shrink government:

I wish I had some wondrous insight on how to get the government to be smaller.

Well, actually I do. As always it’s through God. People underestimated God while overestimating the government. We’d need a revival that would make the Great Awakening look like a sleepy slap at an alarm clock.

I used to be skeptical about hell fire approaches, and am not quite so much any more,

Selfish Jews, not all going to Israel to end the world...

Jews like to live abroad because they are trying to strike a balance between personal comfort and God. When that tradeoff becomes untenable they will return.

There is no luck but God:

And to speak of luck is to deny the divine. I do not deal in the cards of luck.

Homosexuality is addiction to rageaholism

This is the simple answer; the complex one is that by the time the person comes to accept the idea that intervention is needed (their life is so goofed up by then) there can be a horribly thick web of sinful habit. Enjoying rape-like acts (giving or getting) is quite likely intertwined with “rageaholism.” The sex gives a kick and the anger gives a kick.

Lets honor MLK, even if he did plagiarize from a white preacher:

Even if nobody would canonize King for his personal life as a whole, it’s worth note that he did bring “I Have A Dream” to the fore. So what if it was borrowed (which in fact it was, word for word, from a white preacher decades before). The important thing in the context is that it was asserted.

Careful, fellow Freepers, don't start to hate blacks - they might be Christians too!

I would warn you be careful how you focus your attitude. You looked like you were starting to despise the black people.

And despising them is largely how this problem happened. The first chattel slavery case in North America was by a BLACK (not a white) slave owner. Hardly an auspicious way to get the institution in the door! But Satan accepted it and the white people compromised with Satan in the wake of it.

We should have expected “Christian” morality out of them from the first. As GWB put it, the problem is the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Calling out noted madman Yosemite, who cites the Old Testament to kill all the gays:

You have an excellent question, will we obey our Heavenly Father?

Well the first thing on the agenda is to verify that what we are dealing with IS our Heavenly Father and not the Counterfeit From Hell who would negate every grace of Christ Jesus on the way.

You’ve looked a whole lot like you are dealing with the latter and calling it the former.

You can’t pull the Law into the picture unless you adopt the WHOLE Law. I didn’t put that in the bible, God did. We DO have to play by His rules even while hating what He hates.

One can understand the Baltimore riots, but MLK wouldn't:

One can even semi-understand the desire (though not the choice) to riot, given the usual wall of silence that goes up in such an egregious situation. Trouble was, tempers were already rubbed red hot by the demonstrably bogus situations of Trayvon and Ferguson. And they didn’t even bother picketing the police station where it happened, or the mayor’s office... they just smashed, burned, and looted. If you “riot” at EVERYTHING, then guess what, pace Dr. King, nobody bothers listening to that “voice” any more.

So much for "A riot is the language of the unheard."

Ethiopia, now there's an awesome place to live:

I would say that the well being of Ethiopia tops black Baltimore. There is more to wealth than dollars and cents.

No one really built that by themselves:

Everyone can complain that someone else’s profit was at their expense.

A gay marriage amendment is good politics:

A state marriage standard amendment is one obvious retort to this. And it may be further helped inasmuch as the Gaystapo will not be able to stop itself from being obnoxious... because it is never any more satisfied than hell itself is and because Christianity will not shut up.

Satan's school sounds rad:

I mean either someone boldly sticks his neck out for the truth and gets blasted by you for being a suicide, or else is more lukewarm than this and is thus a “lesser evil.”

I suggest you cancel your lessons in Satan’s school, OK?

Fun with Clinton minutia

It's a story that I missed, until Free Republic picked it up. A plane carrying Bill Clinton had a failure of one of it's four engines and had to land in Tanzania.

That's the entire story.

Freepers turn that into a grand old time. It's funny, with Obama their taunts and insults are vitriol, devoid of any joy. But with the Clintons? It's like a party - no one is going to remember this thing tomorrow, so go crazy! And they do.

They may hate Obama, but the Clintons are Freepers' true nemesis.

LeoWindhorse doesn't know how to party:

too bad it didnt crash and burn

bmwcyle, though, knows what's funny for Freep:

Hillary found with airplane parts.

YourAdHere is nostalgic for old conspiracy theories:

Ron Brown irony?

AnnGora believes nothing:

Strictly a publicity stunt. The timing is perfect: “Clinton faces danger while on a charitable mission.” Puhleezz...

realcleanguy knows who has affairs!

he must be on his way to meet up with another woman.

uglybiker sees your Clinton is horny, and raises you some folksy dialect!

Well, ah was thinkin' about all those old National Geographic magazines I usta have.... you know, the ones with al the afercan pitchers in 'em?
Ah jus' thought ah'd stop in an' check 'em out!

GeronL is too crazy for fun:

Human trafficking

lapsus calami's imagination boggles:

Oh yeah - ivory, diamonds, gold, opium, underage girls - the possibilities are endless.

yefragetuwrabrumuy makes an unconventional choice in his fiction:

“Request an emergency landing. We are dangerously low on cocaine.”

Cyman jumps on the Hillary will murder Bill yuk-yuk-train:

Same mechanic that Hillary arranged for Ron Brown. Heads up Bent One, you are a liability

haircutter likes his fun bitter:

ANOTHER FAKE AND PHONY INCIDENT...

Never trust the Clinton's or obama’s...they arrange and plan every thing to happen for publicity...their polls are dropping and they are concerned and worried....

Y I P P I E.....love seeing them scared...

by the way, Is Hillary in hiding??? more bad news about the FOUNDATION...TYPICAL CROOKS, CHEATING THE SMALL GUY, BOOZING WITH THE TOP DOGS...

Jim Noble also with the Hillary murderer jokes:

The same focus groups that laughed at “Granny Clinton” were really sympathetic to “Widow Clinton”.

Bill had better watch his back.

Clinton is helping the Developing World? Well then, Liz will hate the Developing World!

I don't seem to remember anybody asking the impeached disbarred Clinton to roam the world throwing money at these corrupt hellholes......where they defecate in their drinking water, and still don't understand why they are disease-ridden.

Way to overwhelm the buzz with that pure spite, Liz.

Delusions of failure

Another one from a few weeks ago whose quality makes it evergreen.

America's warships turned back Iranian ships with weapons for rebels in Yemen. Freepers, however, do not live in a world of sufficient nuance that Obama's military can do anything right, especially where Muslims are concerned. Like the opposite of Fox Mulder, they want to disbelieve.

So enter conspiracy and speculation. Freepers have their extreme narrative, and just manufacture a smokescreen of facts that keeps them from looking too dumb in still sticking to it.

Lil Flower finds some minor differences in press releases, thus proving nothing is real:

The article you link to says it ported on Thursday and the article for this thread said they left on Thursday. It’s impossible to offload all that cargo in less than a day. The sources at the Pentagon say they turned around Thursday.

They couldn’t even get their story straight between them and the State Dept.as to why our carriers ships were even over there?

I frankly don’t know who to believe but I know I don’t trust anyone in this damn government.

DoughtyOne starts with grudging acceptance, but quickly turns to the much more comforting paranoid speculation:

Despite himself, Obama may have actually accomplished something decent.

On the other hand: Obama, “Eh, thanks a lot you guys. I look ever so much more ‘not the turd’ of the U. S. right now.” Ayatollah: “No problem brother...”

nicmarlo cannot believe Iran fears the US:

Exactly. They aren’t afraid of our warships because they know the ‘commander’ in chief is really the clown in chief who’s afraid of his own shadow and would never issue any orders to the military to attack.

ozarkgirl is sure this is a ploy by Iran's vast navy:

The nine ship fleet was a ploy to distract the US ships - wonder where the real arms are.

Diogenesis is so crazy he skips directly to believing crap he made up:

The Iranians completed the weapons transfer
and are heading home, protected by the Obola Hussein,
the undocumented First Moslem of the White Mosque.

dware is conflicted between loyalty to the Navy and paranoia:

Interesting. Every fiber of my being says there is no way this would have been an escort mission, but I ain’t putting nothing beyond Obola and crew.

treetopsandroofs does not take kindly to a Freeper with actual naval experience:

there's no way these ships docked, offloaded those weapons and left in less than a day. Hence, they turned away before they could do this. Simple deduction my dear Watson. The first report was bogus.

I asked “Why should we assume he has done anything of benefit to us now?” and you told me.

Yes, trust First Citizen Obama.

Elementary... or is that not a condescending enough reply to you?

VanShuyten knows the True Facts:

You should look into how third world ports work.
A gangplank and a hundred coolies is all that’s needed.

Carry_Okie exhorts Freepers to exercise more imagination:

LOL, you apparently lack imagination. Think of the mischief to be derived with Somalis and Boko Haram cruising through Aden on their way to Mecca! Think of the arms sales to the Saudis. Think of a final battle over a stupid rock in the Kaaba!

Now that's payback. Diversity is our strength!

Ain't it fun? (not)

Obama bucket joke outrage!

This year's correspondents dinner was rather dull compared to previous years. But Obama did make a joke about the list he has that rhymes with bucket list. The FUBO goes on suspension, and the Freeper language police are on the case. Obama's race turns out to be very important, somehow.

don-o is totally offended:

Classy.

So is Cincinatus being super low class?

And we have a name for him that rhymes with “grass mole.”

When Obama tells jokes, ken5050 knows what he's really doing:

He's debasing the office...but if we call it what it is..shuckin' and jivin'...well, you know what happens..

MrB thinks a white Obama would be impeached.

[”Take executive action on immigration? Bucket! New regulations? Bucket!”]

When will Congress put a stop to his lawlessness?

They won’t ‘cuz he’s ‘black’.

subterfuge only knows one dorky black guy:

What a dork. The man-child makes Urkle seem sophisticated.

ladyjane is too innocent to get what rhymes with 'bucket'

What a disgusting pig we have for a president.

It took me about three minutes to figure out what he was saying. And statements like this just roll off his tongue.

don-o thinks not cussing is super important:

I have to think that there are millions like you for whom the F word is NOT as natural as breathing air. Sad to say, there are quite a few who post here, who seem to think it is the absolute best verb or modifier in the world.

ilovesarah2012's hate is never far from the surface:

Saw a few clips on the news this morning. Reminded me of how much I utterly hate the man.

vpintheak knows Christians never even joke about swearing:

This is from a Supposed Christian man. Right....
So ashamed of our Country these past years.

rey is FURIOUS Obama rhymed 'list' with 'list.'

What a moron. A word does NOT rhyme with itself. A rhyme is of different words, usually having endings of similar sound.

Simply repeating a word is not rhyme.

Here’s my poem, actually more of a limerick about Obama:

Pig, pig pig pig pig,
Pig, pig pig pig pig,
Pig, Pig pig pig pig.

Great, huh? Smartest president ever, my eye.

Disambiguator sees more proof of voter fraud in this joke somehow:

people elected and re-elected this guy.

Voter fraud elected and re-elected this guy. Some Americans are pretty stupid, but I find it hard to believe that 53% of us are really that stupid. Especially the second time. I could be wrong about this, though. :^(

al_c finds arrogance in scripted jokes:

I have never seen such arrogance in a president as long as I’ve been alive. What a pathetic worm.

Jade Helm is too crazy for Freep

So, why is Free Republic skeptical of the right-wing tin-foil fest over this year's iteration of the regular military exercises in Texas? It's all over the right wing media, it has Cruz, the TX governor, and both Paul's on board. It's exactly what they're talking about when they talk about any how black violence is Obama's martial law plan.

Yet Freepers are going the "this isn't a conspiracy, it's about accountability" rout.

Maybe in these days of Freeper hipsterism, they don't much like conspiracies that aren't locally grown?

rockinqsranch's paranoia seems basically under control:

I don’t like Obama. I don’t like the military exercises ongoing, but I don’t think even this administration of his is stupid enough to start gun grabbing piece meal around the country. Word would spread, and it would become more difficult for them to do so.

Billthedrill is also skeptical, but explains that the government's contempt for conspiracy theorists is very sinister:

I do think the thing has been blown out of proportion a bit, but I also think the attempt on the part of the media to relegate legitimate concerns about the matter has a little more mockery in it than is supported by fact, and if you don't believe me, I'll leave comment to the Cherokee, the Nez Perce, and the Sioux. There is absolutely nothing wrong with citizens demanding an accounting by their federal government. There is nothing paranoid, nothing misplaced, only an absolutely justifiable requirement that the federal government be accountable for its activities.

I highly doubt this is either any takeover or a dress rehearsal for it - the personnel are entirely wrong, for one thing, for another, it would be so far out of bounds of the U.S. military that it scarcely bears considering. This is not about paranoia, fantasies, or post-apocalyptic fiction. This is about accountability. If the federal government is dismayed about the very existence of people's concerns, then its personnel might benefit from asking themselves why it is.

Even Lazamataz, whose been into the martial law bit lately, settles for a rather modest 'it's getting us used to government forces:'

There is ONE troubling issue, though, that Travis McGee points out: This also could involve 'conditioning'. Right now, we are shocked when we see convoys of military vehicles on domestic roads. We are alarmed when troops are moving around towns in full battle rattle. We are frightened when military helicopters hover and military aircraft roar overhead.

However, enough of these sort of training exercises, and we will become conditioned to these sights and sounds, and we do not sound the alarm at the appropriate time.

batterycommander traces this back tothe Civil War:

I think that there is still a general resentment of the Union’s reconstruction period in Texas and other places in the South that leaves a sour taste in the mouths of southerners. This occupation in the civil area by the Federal forces seems like it could lead to that type of occupation. Texans are suspicious of Obama’s motives with good reason. The BLM occupation of private ranches and mines in the West lead one to think that Obama is becoming a dictator, and he has his eyes on the Texas border and other Texas areas and he is attempting to subdue a stubborn people who still believe in God and the Second Ammendment.

WhiskeyX just generally endorses conspiracies:

The problem with conspiracy theories is that real conspiracies are quite common and the deliberately faked conspiracy theories designed to deceive and the tinfoil hat mistaken conspiracy theories which deceive and mislead are even more common than the real conspiracy theories. The problem faced by the ordinary citizen is having the means and talent to accurately distinguish between the real and the not real conspiracy theories.

lonestar67 argues that liberals can't be anti war AND not paranoid about these exercises:

What I find fascinating with regard to all those mocking Governor Abott is the privilege of their hypocrisy.

When US troops deploy outside our borders, they are baby killers, kill women and children, massacre civilians on and on.

When US troops detain or hold order outside our borders they engage in torture and inhumane cruelty to pretty much all they encounter.

But when the Fed government orders a deployment of special forces to Texas, then there is absolutely no reason to suspect anything.

It highlights how the only true evil the Left believes in is the American conservative.

Similarly, police in our country willfully want to kill innocent blacks but there are no risks from a large federal deployment of special operations forces in texas.

The sense of selective outrage and moral reasoning privileged to the Left is ridiculous.

dp0622 loves that Ted Cruz is on the bandwagon:

It’s like he’s one of us. Asking the same questions we ask. Wanting accountability. He rocks.

Paladin2 learns wrong things:

I just learned that Texas is larger than Alaska. (And 2x Montana which seems like a big place)

Evil, evil Loretta Lynch.

This is a story for over a week ago. Usually, when I get behind and stories get stale, I abandon them. But this is too good to pass up.

The new AG's confirmation was held up procedurally, mostly to be a thorn in Obama's side - there wasn't much bad to say against her other than that Obama liked her.

But Freepers are not constrained by facts, and require a noble rationale for even the pettiest actions. Which leaves them with empty partisan bluster about how evil Lynch is.

ealgeone just wants revenge for things that happened 30 years ago.

She shoulda been “Borked”.

Uncle Miltie doesn't seem to understand how irrelevant the right's knee-jerk anti-Obama attitude has made them:

largely uncontroversial nominee

Yeah, right.

Liberty Valance knows what's next:

And Eric Holder laughs all the way to the Supreme Court.

To be joined by Obama, I hear!
And then no black people will be sent to jail ever.

Repealthe17thAmendment thinks the Senate should have held out for an AG who was going to indict Obama for continuing Bush's drone policies:

Yeah, on the day that the president admits that he killed innocent people and takes full responsibility; the GOP approves an attorney general that will not hold him responsible.

tpmintx hates it when the leadership bows to political necessity:

McConnell Sold out!

McConnell Sold out!

McConnell Sold out!

McConnell Sold out!

Am I clear?

Ted Cruz was the lone absence. conservativejoy knows who to blame!

I wouldn’t doubt that McConnell knew that Ted had a flight to catch and a commitment he couldn’t miss and delayed the vote deliberately. They stood around scratching their behinds for three hours!

stephenjohnbanker is also unhappy the new AG won't impeach Obama:

D.C. Republican leadership is guilty of treason.

This woman told the whole Senate that POTUS is above the Constitution, and they confirmed her.

mulligan, too:

The 56 should be in jail. Un-American idiots, all of them.

freedumb2003 heard she was black. This allows a number of conclusions:

A racist inept lawyer, just like the predecessor — what could possibly go wrong?

Sarah Barracuda did some research in right wing blogs, and found something damming from decades ago!

These 6 Republicans who voted for her are SCUM pure SCUM..they could have easily done 5 minutes of research and found out that Lynch was part of a group in college that was anti Israel and Pro Palestinian..so either these Republicans didnt care to do the research or they flat out don’t care..and either way both make me sick

panaxanax also just fills in his preferred hobby-horse, and throws in some racism too.

Thank you for posting the names of the Republicans (traitors) that voted in favor of placing yet another one of 0bama’s anti-gun affirmative action idiots to a position of authority.

This is last straw #1270 for sport:

She has admitted that she would violate the law from day one. This is one more insult and screw you, we will do as we please and you, by god, will do as we say from the politicians. And if we take it, we deserve everything they do to us. It makes me sick.

CivilWarBrewing's gut tells him all about her:

"uncontroversial!!! anti 2nd amendment, pro civil forfeiture, pro ILLEGAL amnesty, said illegals have as much right to jobs as us!!!"

You omitted "anti-Semite" and regular old whitey hater. She strikes me as one of those 'black theology' types.

CivilWarBrewing then takes his delusions to their logical conclusion:

The GOOD NEWS is, after many months of screwing up as our new DOJ AG, I THINK HER DEPLORABLE ACTIONS WILL HURT HILLARY’S CHANCES AT GETTING ELECTED. The best man for the job is a female? Lynch’s pathetic stance on issues will HURT Hillary!

Rodentking also equates black with racist:

Once again, we have the futility of voting demonstrated to us. We send “Republicans” to the Senate and they vote to confirm a fringe racist dedicated to the overturning of the Constitution to be the Attorney General of the United States. Yes, elections do have consequences, no matter what happens the government controls all and we move closer to the Fourth Reich.

ColdOne predicts worse than Holder:

She will be worse. Holder was confined because Obama wanted to get re-elected. Now no one is stopping him. She will have a grand ole time breaking all laws, making whitey and tea party Christian types pay for all the sins of the founders.

Major Matt Mason wants to take it out on some poor Congressional interns:

Even though the vote is a done deal, no harm in burning up the phone lines to the Senate GOP to inform them that they are truly a bunch of worthless, lawless losers, and that those that voted 'Yea' that are up for re-election in 2016 will be challenged. It's time to go on the attack against the RINO's.

Diana in Wisconsin is just pure frustration:

Well, I guess I’ll be sitting out his next election. Jerk! Time for Feingold to swoop back in. Aarrggghhh!

Lazamataz makes a promise he will never keep:

I’d be fine with Cruz running as an independent. I couldn’t possibly care less about the GOP at this point.

I go one step further: If Cruz runs as a Republican, I can't vote for him.

The Republican brand is as -- no, MORE -- poisoned than the Democrat brand.
