13. The Kool Aid is strong: Freepers want Bush on Mount Rushmore. WTF?
Well that would be a reason to completely write off South Dakota. :(
Holy crap! :wtf: Read this only if you have a strong stomach:

From an essay by John Reynolds:

After Appomatox, everyone remembered that they had always supported Lincoln, just as (I am told) every Steelers fan now recalls prophesying the triumph of their team in the middle of the season when the playoffs looked hopeless. Such fans, such supporters, are welcome to the party. It is human nature to lose hope in tough times and then to forget that loss when those times change. Nobody would judge such folk harshly, but better still to have been more a simple human, to have been a civilized man. It is the nature of a civilized man to remain undeterred by obstacles in pursuit of his great goals.

There are forty percent, we are told, of such men and women in this war. Aren’t you glad that we can always tell our children that we were in that forty percent and know it is the truth? When we look up at Rushmore and see George W. Bush there, wouldn’t you be glad that before victory was obvious to even a Democrat you saw it coming? These are good days to support the President!

I am proud to be one of that 40 per cent. I have no respect for your opinions, and the reasons I gave in my earlier posts.

Conservatism has many variations. Yours is the "glass is empty, things are crap" wing of conservatism, and you are carrying water for the Rats.

I have nothing further to say to you, and further posts you make will be taken in the spirit which you obviously intend.
