Freepers: Why Do They Hate America?
It always amazes me how low their opinion is of Americans -- here they are cheering that more lazy "what's for lunch" American workers will be out of work.

Jesus, what the hell is wrong with these people. Do they want EVERYONE to work for WalMart pay and benefits? Yeah that's the Bush "booming economy" for you....more crappy jobs, less good ones, less benefits, more profits for the super rich 1%. Yay!!

4. Yeah, People Should "Compete" With $1.21/Day Slave Wages.
That's wonderful. Don't they want THEIR folks, their kids or whatever, to have a decent job?

7. Any time I read/heard union bashing, I immediately tune out.
Pisses me off to no end. Idiots haven't a clue what unions have done for American workers. :banghead:

2. I believe it is religious in nature.
You know, the "all people are worthless p.o.s. sinners" religious viewpoint. They tend to believe that humans are inherently evil until they utter the magic prayer and tithe 10%

6. They don't have any views of their own
Only what Uber-father Bush and his cronys tell them, through Fox and Hate radio. Makes it easy to believe one thing one day, and the opposite the next.

5. Weird group, alright. You know, the biggest anti-government,
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 10:44 AM by Stirk
anti-labor rights republican idiots I've ever known have been life-long government employees. My brother-in-law is my favorite example. He's in his mid-40's now, and the man has never earned a penny in the private sector. He's been sucking the public tit all his life, but he's the first one to honk on about the miracles of the "free market".

He was in the Air Force for a few years. Then he got out and got an office job with the state. He's been shuffling between various meaningless desk spots for years. He'll even brag about not having to actually do anything.

Give him 5 minutes and he'll start bitching about lazy people and "marketable skills". Incredible idiot.

8. Did you ever see "falling down" with Michael Douglas?
Most freepers are like the neo-nazi scumbag that he offs in the movie. Ignorant, bigoted, yet thinking that what they are doing is somehow "patriotic".

That scene produced what was one of the all time best lines of his ever in that movie: "No, I'M an American, you're a sick asshole."

11. The littlest Freeper. When the Freeps Chinese boss...
tells him that he can't have the day off, in a future not too distant. When they are reduced to considering the "make money out of your house" signs on the telephone poles to make the rent on the apartment they live in when the real estate bubble breaks, then and only then will they understand they supported a party that really never gave a rat's ass about them. Then they will go to the mailbox to find that their grandma's check is delayed because the corporation that mailed it had a computer glitch in Bangalore.

12. They don't hate America. They hate Democracy.
These are the same people that were:

Tories in 1776.
Nationalist in 1930's Germany
McCarty supporters in the 50's

Truth be told they have nothing but contempt for Democracy.
