9. and as an English major, I agree.
The atrocities abound.

The thing is, these people won't look in a dictionary even if they have one, because they are never wrong. Not being able to spell shows that they don't read much.

The thing is, Obama is just too successful and popular, and these guys missed that bus. Now they have to be content with sour grapes.

12. Scholiast?
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 01:25 PM by BattyDem
Ok ... I assume that's supposed to be "socialist", but come on! That's not even close! :rofl:

By the way ... WTF is that other sign supposed to mean? "My name is Hope not the Congress taxing hope so stop using my name ..." HUH?!???! :shrug:


On edit: Imagine Freepers playing Scrabble. I'd love to see a snapshot of the board! :rofl:

20. if you flip the sign over...
it probably concludes with "What?!? You think you're better than me?!?!"

Because that's where all freeper thoughts end.

36. Socialism: because it works...
just ask France, Germany and the rest of the industrialized countries.

Do not want everything to be socialized, but somethings like Health Care should be.
