LOL! Amazon reviewer writes like a liberal - very funny satire
The guy clearly is a moron, but he has, I have to admit, managed to stereotype us in a somewhat accurate way - satirically, of course, but this did cause me to laugh not a few laughs of recognition at our own occasional hypocrisy and silliness.

It's the first review, fir "Thank you President *"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/ABH7N3DP7MJMY/ref=cm_pdp_reviews_see_all/102-7584375-1586531

Especially at the end, I had to laugh - it IS stuff I've read people write here. Hell, it's stuff that I've said!

1. I read through some of the other books their, and whats funny is they
say 'hating christians and theocracy' is a bad thing. huh. . . Guess I missed the morality class that said that. go figure. Granted, I don't hate ALL Christians (although, I can't think of anything I truly HATE. Maybe dislike with a fiery passion, but not hate), just alot of them, because they're often extremist facists who want to impose their religion on me.

Of course, this happens with many religions, but Christianity being the majority here in the US, I see more of them than other religions.

P.S. if you're a Christian and aren't a wacko nutjob, than none of that is directed to you. Just listing my personal experience.

9. No offense taken. I can't stand the whacko nutjobs, either.
And they're the only ones who get the air time, so they (like the whacko nutjob islam branch of islam) come across as being completely representative of their faith, when in fact, they are a small minority.

The kind of hypocrites who make shit up, then go find a Bible verse to back 'em up, instead of the other way around, which is how it is supposed to be done.

A true Christian is in no way intimidated by another person's faith or lack thereof.

The rightwing fascist nutjob assholes - they're the ones who are intimidated, out of fear of the unknown, and especially because of the fear of not having control over those people.

Actually, that sounds like she might have written it. I'm going to have to ask her.

5. No, she's an active member of Free Republic.
We agree to try to stay off politics with the exception of making fun of each other for being DUmmies and FReepers.

20. I have no clue.
She's intelligent, relatively open-minded, and yet she's a Freeper. I know she voted for Clinton the first time, but she has never explained how the transition occured.

:shrug:

7. I just can't laugh at something that suggests women get abortion
because pregnancy interferes with their yoga.

Maybe it's because most of the post was about that or maybe

I'm just humourless.

(I know, I know, I'm in the lounge!!! Still . . .)

15. no, i agree
i'm all for laughing at myself... IF IT'S TRUE. But when what they're saying is just right wing propoganda, I just get annoyed. I'm not a fan of bullshit, no matter what the political stance (and I'm sure that saying what I think about some DU "Truths" would get me flamed to idaho and back)

11. Ha! No one can make you feel any way.
You can only choose how to feel.

Nyah.

I said you made me look (and I do know you can't MAKE me do that either)I didn't say you made me feel although you have created a response/desire in me to be a better person in some areas! ;)

14. Right face, eh?
Proof, once again, that it's getting harder and harder to tell the Radical Right from the radically wrong.

I guess RightFace did a face plant in the DU graveyard recently. If only I could piss on his grave, sigh.

I do appreciate, however, his feelings that lefties should be above fighting down in the gutter. Thing is, to fight the rightfaces you do have to go to them, and they are found in the gutter.

16. At least he has shitty taste in music
He calls "Montrose" one of the best hard rock albums ever?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, I suppose if you're an emotionally stunted 39-year-old who's lived in mom's basement all his adult life, I could see it.

This guy is pure comedy!

18. I couldn't believe that, either! Certainly Montrose is underrated,
but he absolutely isn't close to being the greatest, not by any stretch of the imagination.

But then, that's a freeper for ya.
