1. They only talk about "liberal hatred"...
...and the thrill of shopping at Wal-Mart.

That's about it.

2. I wonder how much overlap there is between the Freepers
and religious fundies. The fundies aren't worried because

1. God will provide.

-or-

2. The rapture will come first.

I think the real struggle in politics today is between rational thought and superstition.

PS, there are capitalist reasons to perpetuate the dependence on fossil fuels (for fossil fuel companies).

3. Hopefully they'll read it and begin to know more....
They need to be aware. Maybe it would change their thinking! Or maybe I'm just wishing for the best, huh?!?! lol

4. I'm sure to them it's a "conspiracy theory"
Anything that's a fact that they don't like gets labelled a conspiracy theory.

They're insane, no joke. They're utterly delusional.

6. Yeah but some of their extreme right militia types
believe in a lot of conspiracy stuff don't they? They seem like the ones to believe more in conspiracy theories. I guess anybody can mold their ideas to fit some forms of conspiracy theories.

10. I agree
It's either God will provide, the rapture, or there will always be more.

Those conservatives who DO believe in Peak Oil, however, don't hang out at free republic, because those who believe in Peak Oil view the Iraq War as suspect and give more credence to LIHOP/MIHOP, which is a death sentence for your FR account.

5. In some way
when she starts vomitting blood, and the freeps run wild with fear, they will finally see the madness they caused.

The environment they don't care, cuz Jesus is coming and if he's late? Well our loved ones in the future are left with exploitation, pollution and no clean alternative energy sources.

8. They don't believe it will happen.
Their mantra is "the free market will provide". They can't even imagine the upcoming scenario.

But, really, what can you expect?

9. They don't care. Greed is the priority for them, as they try
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 11:30 PM by Zinfandel
and disguise it, rationalize it and point fingers elsewhere...all for everything they lust for...

11. Nope.. They talk about how "dreamy" Sean Hannity's eyes are
and how "proud" they are of dumbya & the missus, and how DUmb we are, and of course they still plagiarize and copyright-infringe on almost every post..

They brag about how big their new boat is, and about how smart their kids are..

They are expecting the apocalypse any day now, so they have no environmental worries..:(
