*** ALERT *** FR preparing to launch its SECRET WEAPON
A Week without Conservatives
01/17/09 | Philistone

...

The Obamalefties think that they can just take us for granted. Think that we will just continue producing stuff and allowing them to take it and distribute it anyway they like.

Let us choose a week and simply stop producing for that week.

We need to decide on a week over summer. If you can't afford to take that week off, then simply do what the French do - a "greve de zele" (work slow-down, which is pretty funny since they can't actually work any slower than they already do).

Don't pay your bills for a week.

Don't go to work for a week (or see above if you can't afford it).

Don't buy anything for a week.

Don't fly a plane, operate a nuclear plant, enforce the law, harvest food, repair a car, design a computer chip, treat a patient, sell a house, arrange a mortgage or any of the thousands of other things that we do that gliberals take us for granted for.

Stop.

We're on strike!

124. That reminds me of a Simpson's episode

good luck, freeptards

However, 3 of them just don't want to go to work for a week and will use this as an excuse and another will use it as a cover up for an affair.

Dumb when we did it in France in 68??? Society changed for the better. Was it idiocy when they did a general strike in Denmark 2 years ago??? They only had 5 weeks paid vacation before now they have 6 weeks paid vacation. When was the last general strike in the USA??? What is the minimum legal amount of paid vacation for a person once they have worked a year in the USA???? Where is the idiocy in all of this?

their master plan is to give us all a week in which we don't have to deal with Freepers at work, at the store, on an airplane, etc.

Sounds GREAT to me! GO FOR IT! :hi:

44. The only Freepers I met during the campaign were laid off Countrywide
employees and retired people. I guess it's hard to strike if you are already laid off. Had some of the Freepers gone on strike a few years ago (and never returned to work), our economy would be in much healthier condition. We wouldn't have the mortgage melt-down. We'd all be better off if they were the ones being laid off.

11. Boy I sure hope Freeps don't have nuclear plant jobs...
Don't treat a patient. lol. That's further proof of their vision for health care in America.

Don't fly a plane. lol. They're not the types that save 150 lives by landing flawlessly on a river.

Don't enforce the law. lol. They're the types that raid a family home and beat up brown children because they're maybe "illegal."

Don't harvest food. lol. They don't care about human necessities like food, clothing and shelter.

Don't repair a car. lol. As if they'd know how.

Don't design a computer chip. lol. As if they'd know how.

Don't sell a house or arrange a mortgage. lol. As if that's possible in George W. Bush's America today.

32. Why read that stupidity?
I mean, that argument is idiotic on a number of levels. It can be summed as "My team did not win so I'm taking my ball and going home."

The person who wrote that is an angry moron. Republishing their stupid rant only validates the nitwit's warped and dumbass perspective, which is, I suspect, a minority view.

Most people, even if they don't agree with Obama, wish him well. They want him to succeed, because they want our country to succeed. This person's attitude is out of the norm, even for those who don't care for Obama and didn't vote for him.

152. Why read it??
Perhaps we read it like we glance at the headlines of the "Weekly World News" or the "Globe" tabloids in the supermarket tabloids as we wait in line to check out We then pick the tabloid up, read a few quick lines, chuckle and then put the tabloid back (well most of us anyway!!). Same here, entertainment purposes only.

BTW, I did glance at the "Globe" tabloid in the supermarket a few days ago. The headline was "Obama appoints alien as Mars Ambassador". I'm series!! And why was this NOT reported in the MSM?? I'm mad as hell!!

36. I'm gonna mortgage my house and use the cash for "Put Options" in CheerleaderPorn & CHEETOs!!!
If the FReepers actually go a week without spending money,
I'll be a freakin' Billionaire.

Seriously though, those idjits inhabit the SADDEST 'echo chamber' EVER,
don't they?

We're in the middle of a MAJOR DEPRESSION. For every FReeper-held job,
there are ten thousand better-qualified unemployed folks desperate for income,
and willing to take the job for less money. We all know that.

And their big plan is "let's all skip work for a week- That'll show 'em!".

I really have no words to adequately explain just how horrifyingly STUPID
this idea is.

When looking at this idea, an idea like a stunted brown weed
drawing sustenance from a puddle of tainted muck in a vast,
error-ridled wasteland of dry & windblown DELUSION beyond my ken,
I feel like that early Astronaut who was asked
to describe what it was like to view the Earth from space...

He said something like "I'm an AirForce pilot, one of the best AirForce pilots;
and when it comes to vision, reflexes, or 3-D navigation, I'm just about
the best that's ever been...
But if you really wanted to know what it's like to see the Earth from space,
you should have grounded me from this mission and launched a POET."


If we really want to know just how truly BAD this Freper notion is,
we're gonna hafta launch a POET.

Or perhaps convince NanceGreggs to offer her opinion.

39. A week without conservatives? How about an eternity **without** wingnuts?
No wingnuts...a country of peace, prosperity, no national debt, an huge ramping elevation of the U.S. in the world's eyes. No hubris? A world where men and women treat each other decently. A world where white men no longer run the tables. A world where no one individualcan be a king.

That's not long enough to have an effect. I'm thinking they should "go on strike" (how union-like) for a matter of years, or perhaps forever. Just imagine a world without crazy right-wing extremists. My God! It would be like heaven.

Re The Obamalefties think that they can just take us for granted. Think that we will just continue producing stuff and allowing them to take it and distribute it anyway they like.

A Day Without Immigrants: Making a Statement

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1189899,00.html

"They may not have agreed on whether to skip school, take the day off work or refrain from all commerce today, but the hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors who turned out in major cities across the country on Monday clearly conveyed their message that immigrants are essential to the U.S. economy and deserve the right to continue living and working here..."

heh

"Don't pay your bills for a week." Same as every other week if you are a freeper type.

"Don't go to work for a week." Same as every other week if you are a freeper type.

"Don't buy anything for a week." Steal it like Bush and Cheney would do.

80. unemployment last a year, with funding for 6 months.
So you'll be on unemployment for a year, but you'll run out of funds in six month and pull a zero check. After that you can get an extension, which might give you another 3 months of funding.

was the laziest man I've ever seen. He was a goldbrick. His error rate was atrocious. Even though we had a perfectly good urinal, he'd pee on the toilet seat. He got caught not paying for snacks, and would call in sick after holidays when we knew the mail would be very heavy. He would also call in sick the day before or after his vacation. Rainy, or extremely cold days he would call in sick. He hate unions, refused to join them but enjoyed the benefits and protections of the union. He wouldn't deliver mail if it meant climbing steps.

111. Get Freepers and Fundies OUT OF THE WORKPLACE.
I had a Freeper/Fundie Office Manager. She would make us say a prayer in the office in the morning..although I'm sure this was illegal in a Public Building.

She had 12 Rottweilers she kept in cages on her porch.

She would run home each day at noon to clean the dog crap and turn on the fans for the dog cages.

When I suggested she let the dogs out in the yard to poop... she looked at me with a blank look?

This woman was a "Senior" Administrator for a large County Court System. Does this give you the warm "fuzzies"?

140. "Don't pay your bills for a week"
The stupidity is simply mind-boggling.
I hope they don't pay their credit card bill during their strike week.

"Your new rate is 28.99% due to late payment."

One week from now, when the small percentage of them that are actually employed suddenly find themselves in the unemployment office, I will laugh until I turn blue.

160. They have the whole idea wrong.
It's not that one needs to stop producing, that will never work.

The real way to succeed is to just drop out of the Captitalist system entirely. Work only for yourself or barter. Refuse to work for anyone else but yourself. Produces copious amounts of goods for yourself and your loved ones. Refuse to pay taxes into a system that is based upon a war economy, or one that uses a broken monetary system such as the Federal Reserve.

The Freepers are sold on the bill of goods that they have to work for someone else all their lives, when it reality, they are only enriching the already wealthy.

When I saw my excellent job in the IT Industry disappear overnight to the likes of Satyam while Enron was raping California with manipulated Electricity shortages, I came to the realization that we were all getting screwed in so many ways it was ridiculous. To actually SEE that we are the ones responsible for allowing this scam to continue is pretty devastating, but it develops a knack for looking at the big picture.

The Freeper call to action has several points wrong, I offer corrections based on the original points below.

1. Get rid of the need to pay bills. Thats right, get out of debt.

2. Work for yourself. Pay yourself first, just like Trump and Kiyosaki. Don't be a wage slave and earn After Tax dollars. The Corporation doesn't, why should you?

3. Don't buy junk! Your purchases will drop to almost nothing but essentials. Buy organic food at local Farmers market. Don't prop up Monsanto, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, AT&T or any other huge mega Corporation until they start paying their fair share.

4. The Freepers don't harvest food, the immigrant labor does. They may truck it to the plant and dump it into the big vat with the other chemicals, but that's about it. The Chips have been designed, and they were designed for the Military in the first place. We are feeding off the leftovers. If you operate a Nuclear plant and decide to stop operating it, then you need to go to jail, especially since the Goverment subsidized it and made it possible in the first place. If you fly a plane, make sure you get paid a good wage to do it.

Most of all, don't pay taxes to a Government that spends $700 Billion a year on the War machine unless that stuff actually works for all of us. It does not, I can assure you of that.
