LOL Look at what Freepers are opposed to:
From the first page of the Free Republic:

-snip-

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

3. That is the one that had me laughing the most. . .
I am not sure if they are saying that they are against homophobia or for it.

4. I love it:
"pro-freedom", then they promptly slam every group under the sun that doesn't have a red, white and blue bottom that gets wiped with red, white and blue toilet paper. Sheeesh!

5. in the words of one great philosopher...
"Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus."

6. What is government-enforced atheism?
That's so bogus. It's right-wing codespeak for "the government won't let me use its resources to push MY religion."

Yet they sit at their computers while there's a war going on and pretend to be veterans.

11. wait a minute....
the don't believe in liberalism? they don't believe in the economic theory emphasizing individual freedom from restraint, based on free competition and the self-regulating market? i suppose, because it was omitted, that they're OK with communism then?

12. Pro-Constitution? They wouldn't know the Constitution if it...
jumped up and bit them on the ass!

Seriously, I would bet that if you were to poll them on things in the Constitution or Declaration of Indpendence and whether they agreed with them, they'd denounce it as some kind of communist plot.

14. They are also opposed to "need for cognition."
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 02:26 PM by Redleg
Why do they need to think when they can instead rely on their sorry-assed stereotypes and cognitive short-cuts to make sense of the world.

They didn't say they are opposed to alcoholism. Does that mean they support it?

30. There was something the other day where some of them wanted...
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 03:12 PM by LoZoccolo
...to end public funding for...parks. One guy talked about privitization of our national parks! I am so not kidding, though I am tempted to think it may have been some of us going over there starting some junk to see if anyone else would come up and agree!

I mean, parks! Doesn't it kind of seem unpatriotic to mess around with stuff like the Grand Canyon or our really cool mountains and forests and stuff?
