Is this the most insane freeper post ever??

The dark sky movement was invented by Stalinists to bring communism to America.

Dark sky towns are targets for criminals and gangs who can easily break into businesses and homes under cover of the Stalinist ‘dark sky’ movement.

Property owners cannot light their own back yards, the dark sky Stalinists will use the force of government to fine them if their lights are too bright, or soon,if they are incandescent.

Dark sky streets and highways are lit with useless ‘energy saving’ bulbs that don’t produce enough light for it to illuminate the pavement directly under ‘dark sky’ light fixtures.

Dark sky footpath lights and business lights that droop and point down, also have the same outcome. Not enough light to light the pavement, and the amber dull color isn’t good enough light to perform any task outside.

That’s the dark sky movement. Its not some romantic or nostalgic idea, it has its purpose just like any soviet inspired social engineering scheme.

Are you on crack? No, seriously... Are you on crack? That has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. You would actually seem smarter if you admitted to smoking crack before you posted that.

The “dark skies” movement has nothing to do with Obama, Stalin, or any other boogeyman you’ve got running around in your skull. It’s about reducing stray light in the night sky; nothing more and nothing les

1. Woah.

[Silent3]

2. It's nice to know at least...

...there's some insanity insane enough that one Freeper will call another on it.

[FSogol]

3. Was the responding Freeper banned? The original Freep sounds like Glen Beck.

Wonder if he tests his whacked out theories on Free Republic before uttering them on his show?

[leeroysphitz]

4. I knew it was the gubmint! Even when it was the Stalinists. n/t

5. 'Dem Freepers are sceerd of dar own shadow.

6. "You would actually seem smarter if you admitted to smoking crack before you posted that."

:rofl:

So they are policing their own, now, over there? Remarkable. Or was hedgetrimmer banned, lol?

[tavalon]

8. I suspect Hedgetrimmer may be a troll in their land

Probably one of our folks. He sounded kind of intelligent.

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. Which one of you jokers wrote that?

Cuz that is gold. Comedy gold! :rofl:

[Enthusiast]

12. OMG!

I love my energy saving light bulbs. Far from useless, they seldom seem to burn out, the light they emit is more pleasant and as strong as any incandescent, not to mention much lower energy use. That guy is a regular Glenn Beck head freeper nut case.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. No. Not Stalinists. Vampires, freeper, vampires.

The dark sky movement was invented by vampires.

Sheesh.

[cali]

14. .....

:rofl:

[NoPasaran]

15. Stalinist vampires

The scariest kind!

[Motown_Johnny]

29. Stalinist Lesbian Vampires

23. No no no. We'll go over it again. The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people

under the supervision of the reverse vampires...

We're through the looking glass people.

16. I just lost a few IQ points for reading that

17. Maybe in response to this article from yesterday

Island named world's first 'dark sky' community
February 1, 2011

The Channel Island of Sark has been designated the first dark sky community in the world in recognition of the lack of light pollution that allows clear views of the stars at night, officials said Monday.

The tiny island, located west of France's Cotentin Peninsula and about 130 kilometres off the south coast of England, hopes the designation from the US-based International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) will help boost tourism from star gazers.

"Sark becoming the world's first dark sky island is a tremendous feather in our environmental cap, which can only enhance our appeal," said Paul Williams, chairman of the Sark government's agricultural committee.

The island, which is 4.8km long and 2.4km wide, has no cars and no public street lighting, but local residents and businesses have also made an effort to reduce the amount of light spilled upwards.

26. F*&k! He's onto something!

:sarcasm:

[Jester Messiah]

18. Fairly insane, but "most insane"? There's some ferocious competition for that title. [nt]

[gratuitous]

28. I know!

You start designating one post as the most insane, and the rest of them take it as a personal challenge. Sure, it's funny as hell, but there may be unintended consequences.

[OnionPatch]

19. Everything is a conspiracy to them.

It would actually be pretty sad if they weren't such selfish, hateful MFers.

[lapislzi]

20. That's 45 seconds of my life that I'll never get back

But it may have been worth it for the sheer outlandish hilarity.

Remember, freeps: just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean we aren't out to get you.

[Johonny]

21. That's insane, freepers take meth not crack

[Kablooie]

22. Actually there IS a dark sky movement in Tucson, for real.

But it comes from astronomers. There are some large important telescopes on nearby mountains and there has been a movement to decrease the light pollution from cities in the area.

24. Betcha he has guns /nt

[distantearlywarning]

25. Well, at least one of them over there has half a brain in his thick skull

:crazy:

[Motown_Johnny]

30. that was my first reaction too, but then I figured it must be a troll

[Hell Hath No Fury]

27. Dad?

:D

31. Have you been drinking the fluoridated water Mandrake? Seriously are you on flouride right now?

Better check your precious bodily fluids - that fluoride is turning your brain into a brick. Dark Skies is about enabling the Grays to move around freely inside NORAD air space, hastening the inevitable Liberal Commie take over for One World Government under the Gray Alien Galactic Imperium.
