Damn, one freeper post and SO many quotes;
"As if a new global arms race would be bad:

That way we can afford it, and we get more secure, and countries which can not afford it will have to increase freedom to grow their economy to be able to compete."

Let me see; bin Laden is supposed to build nuclear arms without abandon and the US, already acknowledging the fact that it can blow up the world 1,000 times is supposed to re-start its nuclear armament facilities so it can possibly replay history re; the claim that brain dead reagan split the USSR that way? No, wait, it's Iran with their nuclear capabilities. On the other hand, it could be N Korea that we are entering the new 'cold war' with. Or it could be China with its proven nuclear arsenal just waiting for the Yankee imperialists to let their guard down so they can soften us up and then invade us with a billion soldeirs. Or Blair goes renegade...

1. Increase freedom to keep up in an arms race?
Wow, talk about a logical fallacy......that's a new one I hadn't heard yet.

I'd :rofl: if it wasn't so pathetically dangerous to think that way, especially when they are in charge.

9. "Increase freedom" by making laws "against" things
"Flag Burning Amendment", Marriage Amendment" well you get the idea.

3. you know, if DU made as many bald-faced death threats as FR
we'd have been shut down long ago, IMO.

Post after post that is either thinly-veiled, or up front.

Why is it that freepers are always the ones making death threats and yet progressives are the ones who are supposedly dangerous?

4. B/C the freepers are going to be the ENFORCERS
when the new American Order is fully in place. They're the ones who are going to be spying on their neighbors and ratting them out to the secret police. They're the ones who are going to be organizing the lynch mobs.

5. Ironic, isn't it?
because this is, of course, what they accuse dems of doing.

:crazy:

7. That's why these Repugs are so brilliant -
By starting out accusing the "left" of all the things they actually plan to do, they effectively disarm us, at least in the court of public opinion.

6. Not only can we NOT afford it ($9 trillion debt), but what's left to save?
Jobs are going overseas and so is the collective brainpower in America.

Bush and congress (both Repulsicans and Dippycraps, oh this is a bipartisan issue) have wilfully allowed these to happen and until they reverse it, they have no right to complain about the drop in higher education enrollment, which is anything but financially obtainable these days. People DO know the bankruptcy "reforms" and they're trying to get out of debt. After that they may go back for education, but unlike the government THEY need to keep control of their budgets.

Most importantly, and this is inevitable - though Libertarians and similar-minded twits are incapable of understanding this basic truth: People are ultimately authority driven. When we see authority spitting on us, how the hell do you think we'll respond?! We go to great lengths to stop parents from abusing their children; why is nobody defending the American worker from the corporate and political abusers?

And to see those pics of freepers holding up pro-USA signs all the time - they just don't see the big picture. Unless their best friend with the anti-offshoring placard is kept conveniently out of focus? :shrug:
