What to say to anti-American Freepers
You know the kind: "America has freedom of speech, but anyone who criticizes our president in wartime is a traitor."

Your response: "Korean Air offers one-way service to Beijing on modern airliners starting at only $609. Since you hate freedom of speech so much that you accuse people who practice it of treason, you will be happier in a nation that doesn't have it. If you'd be so kind as to show me your credit card, I will be happy to make your flight arrangements."

And for the record: I checked Travelocity; that's a valid price.

2. What do you say
if you are walking down the sidewalk on a sunny day, and there is a large pile of canine feces in the middle of that sidewalk? Is there any reason to have a discussion with it? To debate it? To argue with it? No. Walk around it, and enjoy the beautiful weather. It's a sunny day. We're going to kick bush out of the White House. It's happening. And, yes, we do need to watch our step, because some neighborhoods have piles of dog crap on the sidewalks. But just walk around them, and ignore them when they try to start a fight.

3. Dog crap isn't a freeper
Dog crap never got in my face.

Dog crap never called me un-American because I hate George Bush.

Dog crap never told me I should be sent to Guantanamo because I didn't support invading Iraq.

Dog crap doesn't write letters to the paper claiming we're traitors because we dare to speak ill of George Bush during the war he started for no good reason.

How dare you demean dog crap by comparing it to a freeper?

4. tell them to watch their back. We're onto them.
Why speak with them in any other tone?

They are the enemy.
