Questions from a new guy

[trezic]

I was just wondering what some of the abbreviations meant. Here's three I can't figure out to save my life.

Freeper?

DINO?

n/t?

Thanks

[riverwalker]

1. ok

DINO is democrat in name only
Freeper is play on Free Republic a blog of RW loonies
n/t is no text like no message other that your title so people don't click on it.

[Union Thug]

2. here ya go

Freeper: Free Republic Drone... The epitomy of dumbed down conservatism.

DINO: Democrat in Name Only. Think Lieberman

N/T: No text (there is no other text in the message)

[Warpy]

11. Freeper: someone who frequents the Free Republic web site

which is sort of an online insane asylum for the barely literate form of lunatic. Freepers run the gamut of the pimply teenager who is angry at the world and rebelling against his more sensible parents to Federalist Society type lawyers.

They're dangerous only because of the alliance they've managed to forge with the religiously insane. (see CINO: Christian in Name Only) Were it not for this alliance, they'd have been firmly marched back to the lunatic fringe where they so rightly belong (pun intended).

3. Freeper is...

a poster at www.freerepublic.com the antithesis of decency and common sense. a DINO is a Democrat In Name Only, similar to RINO, or CINO, Republican and Christian equivalent.

More people need to know what these letter stand for. Project for a New American Century. Check them out. This think-tanks ideas (more or less global domination) could be put into effect if America were to experience a 'New Pearl Harbor.' This was written prior to 9/11 and their ideas are becoming reality. The group is comprised more or less of * administration officials and advisors.

[fnottr]

14. Freeper is also used as a more general description of a right wing nut

They don't nescisarrily have to post at freerepublic.com, but that is where the term comes from (actually it's what they call themselves).
