    Alright if you use FR for your news, it’s time to cough up $5 per month, and opt for the E thank you to save money.

    All FR is asking for is $10 (minimum).

    There is no minimum per se.....
    The options are: $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100.00 And 'Other'.

    FReepers use that 'Other' option to donate anything from $3.00 to $1000.00 depending......

    The point is this.......
    Every Dollar Counts.....

    IF Only 25% of all of FR's registered users would donate just a couple of bucks each quarter the days of the freepathon would be over and FR would have a surplus....

    Considering the "News" available at FR as well as insightful commentary, only $5.00 a month is a bargain basement price!

    Jim! This has to be one of the best, If Not THE BEST, posts by you!
    It should be an all time classic of FReeperdom!






    My FRiends, it's becoming more and more obvious every day that Obama and the Democrats are out to purposely destroy America. They're using crisis mode to piece by piece dismantle the constitution. First it was the too big to fail crisis that led to the unconstitutional TARP program, the feds unconstitutionally taking over private sector corporations, the unconstitutional bailouts and the unconstitutional trillion dollar porkulus package. Follow that with the unconstitutional federal takeover of our healthcare system and his unconstitutional bypass of the senate's advice and consent function regarding presidential appointments (czars). Then it was thumbing his nose at the congress by conducting and continuing war in Libya without congressional approval.

    Now, his multi-trillion dollar big spending programs have led to a so-called "debt crisis." It's not a debt crisis, it's a spending crisis. And it's now clear that the president has no intention of working with the congress to decrease spending or use a constitutional solution to the debt. He has avoided stating any plan to the American people because he has no valid constitutional plan. Instead, he plans on invoking (twisting) the 14th amendment by executive order to raise the debt limit by presidential decree. He plans to completely ignore the constitution and bypass the U.S. Congress!

    This would be the constitutional crisis of the century. We ain't seen nothing yet. This would make Nixon look like a Boy Scout and the constitutional crisis of the 70's a church picnic.

    If Obama does this, political blood will flow in the streets. Impeached or not, this will be political suicide for Obama and the democrats. Bring it on!!


    And still, the Republicans are falling all over each other trying to come up with a bipartisan plan to solve the "debt crisis" when all they really need to do is pass a budget that gets spending under control.

    We don't need higher taxes, we don't need an increase in the debt limit, we don't need a balanced budget amendment and we don't need wimpy spending cuts that are scheduled to take place some time in the future. And we sure as hell don't need to bend over for the democrats. The Republicans control the House and the House controls the spending, the taxes, the deficit and the debt.

    So, control it, already! Hold the line! Reinforcements are coming in 2012! Do not retreat, do not surrender, do not cave, do not make a deal with the devil. Congressional deadlock would be far better than capitulation or continuing down the current bankruptcy path. Worst case, no debt limit increase would force spending cuts.

    In our current crisis, government is not the solution; government is the problem. --RR

    This is no time for the Republicans to lose faith in conservative principle or go wobbly. Please call or write your congressional reps and urge them to hold the line!!

    And if Obama dares trying to rule by executive order, let the games begin!!

    TEA party America will not stand for a dictator!!

    God bless America.

    Long live Liberty!!

    You're a 1-bit brain with a parity error

    You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

    You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

    You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world.
    An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

    I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.

    You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

    You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.

    May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you.

    You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

    You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease. You are a puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool.

    You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

    You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.

    I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid.
    Your writing has to be a troll.
    Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on.
    This is an epiphany of stupid for me.

    After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything.

    Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult.

    If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

    Laugh not! I am become cursed by the mystery of "½".

    I trod where wise men fear to go. Now I must pay for my indiscretion.
    Everything I touch now becomes "½" what it was before.
    I petted my dog a few times today......
    Now he's the size of a mouse......
    I am now in mortal fear of going to my bathroom......
    I haven't urinated all day.....
    I'm terrified to do so......The thought of the probable outcome in mortifying.....
    Need I say more?

    Yes! You are right! I'm already haunted by guilt! It is terrible!
    Woe is me! What must I do to redeem myself?
    Only today I wrote a check and the "½" was found 'mysteriously' appended to the date, the amount, and even my signature when I went to cash it!
    I am cursed!

    I can't answer that. I "retired" (not really,lol, I'm just way over 65).
    I live way out in the boondocks on the old family ranch.
    I'm more or less in the "middle of nowhere" in south Texas.
    Years ago I lived in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. It was good.
    I don't know about now though.
