why can't the freepers admit their leader is WRONG?

[Stop_the_War]

Seriously! If Shrub took a huge shit on the White House lawn, the next day freepers would be applauding it as a "bold shit" and an "inspiring shit"

[Kikosexy2]

1. Guess..

their shit don't smell.

[walldude]

2. Because they live in fear..... n/t

[Emboldened Chimp]

3. We can admit Clinton was wrong on several issues...

Why can't they do the same?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Self-criticism is a sign of maturity and enlightenment

Self-criticism is the key to progress, through the process of thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis. It's part of being a progressive indidivual. It is the opposite of stagnation and conservatism. I have always thought that conservatives have been largely defined by their inability to criticize themselves or those who represent their ideals.

And I agree with you about Clinton. I have often hated many actions of Democratic Presidents and have been vocal about it. Maybe this factor is why Democrats aren't as cohesive as Republicans.

[NewJeffCT]

4. no, they wouldn't

They'd blame the accident on Bill Clinton somehow. Because of him, the WH has lost dignity & respect.

[shadowknows69]

6. uh no, that was nixon

[Ian David]

14. Start a thread on things Clinton did wrong?

1) Monica Lewisnsky (He could have had someone MUCH better).
2) He fired Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders.
3) Exempting SUV's from emissions goals.
4) Don't Ask Don't Tell.
5) DOMA.

My guess is he had no idea just how bad some of those would turn out.

"Don't Ask Don't Tell" must have seemed like a good idea for a guy who "didn't inhale."

[yankeedem]

32. Not thrilled about NAFTA either

but I would give a lot to have him back. At least 100,000 Iraqis and 1,500 soldiers would still be alive. Not to mention 3,000 WTC victims.

[Ian David]

38. With all his faults, I'd still take him back. He could even have Monica

[htuttle]

5. If they could admit mistakes and used logic and reason...

...then they wouldn't be freepers anymore, would they?

[jdj]

7. because to them there is no such thing as wrong. God can't be wrong.

If you believe dubya was annointed by God, and God is infallible, then whatever happens, you have to believe that is right and just. So if you say God talks to you and tells you to put a frog's head on a chickens body, this becomes the right thing to do regardless of the effect on the former frog and chicken, because God told you to do it.

[atreides1]

15. Maybe that's why I'm the way I am

I have never believed that God was infallible, the human race is the best of example of that. The Old Testament shows that God was not above using a believer to point out to Lucifer how much faith we humans had in God. He told Abraham to sacrifice his son, and stopped him right before the knife was plunged into Isaac. God took everything from Job, even the lives of his wife and children, which in my opinion was unjust, just to prove to Lucifer how even after all of that, Job still remained faithful to God. Sometimes when I read parts of the Old Testament, I cannot help but wonder at how God was really not so great as he was arrogant.


I also know that God has a sense of humor as well, if you don't believe me just look at the duck billed platypus.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. You should check out gnostic christianity

You would fit right in.

[opihimoimoi]

8. They seem unable to COUNT

Under Bush...we will work longer and Harder....no over time pay unless over 50 hours....is that advancing>>> no it don't....

WE had a surplus going but Bush did away with that due to the give a way tax cut he implemented.... guess who wins on that one?? It ain't us guys...

and on and on... we don't seem to count the many ways the dude is doing it to us.... guys, we gatta learn to COUNT...at LEAST THAT...

[OrlandoGator]

9. ...and Freepers would post pictures of the shit on their cubicles.

At least in my office they would.

[musette_sf]

11. and say they can see Jeebus' face

in the rising steam.

[kiraboo]

31. LMFAO! Sooo evil and soooo true. n/t

[datasuspect]

10. does it really matter?

what difference would it make for them to admit they are wrong?

the entire project of reactionaries for so many years has unrepentance as its hallmark.

these people think selfishness is a virtue.

[AlCzervik]

12. Their own personal Jesus n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

13. They'd say "GW doesn't take shit from anyone....He leaves it"

Hahahaha...Hey! I'm a spinmeister!

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Because they are as arrogant as he is.

[Contrary1]

18. And The Dim Son would be carrying on...

about the "hard work" involved in passing it.

[ET Awful]

19. And a week later, Newsmax would be selling Bush Shit replicas

for $19.95 (and that includes a free copy of Anne Coulters latest book).

[librechik]

20. the koolaid concession on the WH lawn

is paying dividends. If you want some ice cream, I understand Shrub left something for you there, if you are willing to scoop it up yourself.

[Just Me]

21. Because they have no substantive self-identity or worth!!!!

Their self-value is co-dependent on "stuff" and others.

Without an extremist in the house, they'd just be another extremist.

27. Hi WTheClouds!

Welcome to DU! :toast:

[indepat]

24. They will, if ever in their opinion, he were ever wrong.

[against all enemies]

25. You mean the "Healthy Lawns Initiative"?

[Contrary1]

28. Oh my...

More "terra*ism" to deal with! It's the "White House Lawn Crisis".

[against all enemies]

30. Kids better be careful during the Easter egg hunt.

[proud patriot]

26. thinking for themselves ....hahahahaha

that'll be the day they stop voting republican

[Cleita]

29. Strange also that many Germans would never admit that

Hitler was a monster. They refused to believe that Hitler did the atrocities that he did, no matter what they saw with their own eyes, nor what proof and evidence were presented to them. Many went to their graves believing he was their savior.

[solinvictus]

33. Bankruptcy..

Wait until masses of the lower income Freepers are unemployed and can't file bankruptcy anymore. Where's their God-ordained Chosen Boy then? What they fail to understand is that Freepers at the grass-roots level are nothing more than pawns likely held up for ridicule by the leaders they worship. I imagine Rove and company see them as slack jawed, unwashed yokels who are stupid enough to drink the Kool-Aid and even praise the flavor as they die.

[Melynn]

37. Yeah, I think that Rove and Bush just laugh at Freeper types.

I too, have thought that Rove and Bush just laugh at their Freepers supporters.

You can almost see Bush with a smirk on his face saying to Rove, "we really screwed our cracker base with this bankruptcy law. We better give 'em another round of anti-queer Jesus bullshit to keep them happy".

[Ian David]

39. It's like my Republican friend told me about his own party

"The Republican party is run by a few thousand very wealthy men who are only concerned with their financial best interest. They manipulate poor, ignorant people into voting against their own best interests by getting them agitated about non-issues like gay marriage."

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Didn't you know?

He's Jesus' brother! So therefore anything he does is seen as godly and right and you can never question the great King.

[KG]

35. cause idiots think other idiots are geniuses.

[Kansas Wyatt]

36. Because they are followers.

They are afraid of being wrong about following a dipshit, they just cannot bring themselves to admit that they have been led by a dipshit, and they are not capable of any independent thought on their own. They just keep ranting from the script for dipshit minions in hopes that all turns out well for them.
