Freeper Madness about flying the flag on President's Day

To Fly the Flag or Not ?
VANITY | February 21, 2011 | slef

Posted on Monday, February 21, 2011 10:45:21 by BenLurkin

Mrs. Lurkin asked me if we are going to put the flag up today. It used to go up on every Holiday. I became less consistent starting back in the 1990s though, and today, sadly, something seems wrong about the very thought of doing so.

I refuse to fly The Stars and Stripes while the America-hating muzzie usurper sits in the Oval Office.

I hoisted mine on February 12th (Lincoln’s birthday), and will again tomorrow (Washington’s birthday), but I don’t want my neighbors to think that I have any respect for Øbongo.

FLY IT! Not for the President we DON’T have, but for the Presidents we MUST have, despite him.
FLY IT- because Obama hates it.
FLY IT- because he would replace it with the flag of Islam.
FLY IT- because you still have the freedom to do it.
Fly it- in defiance of all those who would see it gone forever!

Wow, just wow!

Idiots
I didn't like Bush but I still put the flag out on holidays. The flag is more than just a symbol of who happens to be president.

One would think some of these idiot armchair patriots would get that.

understanding who our opponents are and what they think is an important part of developing plans to defeat them.

8. Just another example of why Obama shouldn't engage in "bipartisanship"
The Republican party and their supporters despise him and want to destroy him. They don't give a shit about America abd they desperately want Obama to fail.

Working with these people is foolish.

11. I used to check on the freepers from time to time, but since anyone and everyone
at the site who was capable of independent thought has been purged, it's like entering an echo chamber. They get their talking points from JimRob and run with them, like they are in a contest to see who can make the most ridiculous statements. Their ignorance is showing.

12. Not too different from DU conversations during the Dubya years.
Only difference is more racism from FR, but everyone should expect that.

21. I disagree with this. I can factually justify 99% of what DUers wrote about Dumbya during his tenure
Dumbya WAS a usurper. I can point to statistics that say that Gore really won Florida. I can cite evidence that Ohio was possibly stolen as well in 2004. On the other side of things, the Freeper claim that Obama is a usurper is based on insane birtherism that even many other insane Republicans like Ann Coulter have said is garbage.

The rest is similar. I say Dumbya is a criminal because of Iraq and torture. I can talk through those points and use factual references. What have the Freepers got to justify their schtick? Nothing.

23. OK... I don't disagree with any of that, but I was talking about something else.
I'm not gonna look up a bunch of old threads (too lazy), but I remember lots of threads about not wanting to fly the American flag during the Dubya years.

Usurper? Yep.
Gore won? Yep.
Ohio in 2004? Hell yes. I'd even suggest that the 2004 results in Ohio were more fucked up than FL 2000.

But I wasn't addressing any of that. I only made the point that the FR conversation was very similar to things that I saw here. You can make all the distinctions all day, and I'd probably agree with you.

13. I'm not surprised at all...
I often wander to freeperville to see their latest crazed outrage. I saw a thread where they were calling Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Karl Rove, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, and others "RINOs" because they aren't birthers.

16. Apparently none of these clowns are smart enough to realize
That if they really wanted to make a statement, they could fly the flag upside-down.

Even the Koch Brother's know they are no more than a sack full of useful idiots.

I don't think usurpers take power by winning elections.

20. Flag obsessors are no better than Muslims who cry upon seeing a depiction of Muhammad
And yet those "Murkans" feel superior to everyone...like atheists, gays, the French, Muslims, etc. and are obsessed with the red, white, and blue like teenage girls and Justin Bieber (who's called America evil because of our lack of universal health care). Yet they have the nerve to hate on Muslims for being oversensitive regarding the Muhammad cartoons and accuse liberals of being elitist snobs. Ugh.

Oh, that "notaliberal" comment just destroyed the irony meter right there. And "Obongo"? Totally. Not. Racist.

Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 11:17 PM by boppers
"If I had a "don't tread on me" flag, I might fly that one...but I don't. "

... because "Gadsden flag" is too hard to spell.

edit: oops

25. Oh my.
Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 11:17 PM by boppers
It's mis-spelled a few ways in the first fifty responses, so maybe "don't tread on me" is, indeed, easier.

Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 01:08 AM by AsahinaKimi
Since there probably isn't one, I am sure the FREEPERS will probably design one.. just to have something to hate on.
