Free Republic

(Comments from Guys from the Dirty Underground) Letting Joe Lieberman rule and laugh and not do a thing about it. Giving that lying sack of shit chairmanships and leverage while folks are dying. I've been keeping my mouth shut around here. I've been through good and bad on DU since 2001, but this was the most disgusting, hurtful thing I've had to witness in politics. Not even that loss to Bush in '04 had me as disgusted as I am now. ---- I started doing this in 2004. Until the dems become the party of the people again, they'll not...

The DU Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest runs on the first Tuesday of every month (er, usually). HOW IT WORKS * If you've got a great idea for a slogan that you think would work well on a bumper sticker, post it in reply to this thread. These DUmmies are totally unwitty! I mean look at their bumper sticker ideas: "Poverty is not a crime. Home Sweet Home, Thanks Capitalism Science is bad, ignorance is good, DUDE, where's my spear? Lettum eat yellowcake. Extremism in the Defense of Liberty DESTROYS LIBERTY" Any Freepers have some good ideas of what should be...

You folks remember a year ago Thanksgiving 2008? Liberals were celebrating, conservatives were commiserating about the end of the world. Well a year later and it is not a very happy Thanksgiving for our Liberal/Progressive friends. Before I brighten your day here's a little comment I posted the day after election 2008 : "Come January Obama’s days of gaining anybody is over. The whole game changes, the demon GWB is out, Pelosi/ Obama is in. Come January their party is over as all cameras are on them. And we reunite after many years in a common cause (finally) with the...

Welcome to the new DU for....., replacing an older edition that first came out in 2008. Given the increasing popularity of P-J Comix's most excellent DUmmie FUnnies, the Best/Worst of DU forum on conservativeunderground, and the DUmpster and DUmping Ground here at conservativecave, it is important that such a guide to watching the DUmmies in DUmmieland be up-to-date in time for the coming mid-term elections. One supposes the first question is, why bother watching the DUmmies, as compared with watching paint dry or changing the air in the tires on the automobile? There are several good reasons for watching the...

Hey DUmmies! If you want the honor of having your thread DUFUed, then be really creative in your titles. The main reason why this THREAD was DUFUed was its title, ""Mr President, do know how many people lived on ramen noodles to get you elected?" No matter how many times I read it, I never fail to chuckle. In fact, the rest of the thread is pretty much anticlimactic although the personal woes posted by the author, DUmmie thunder rising, is also quite FUnnie. This thread has even inspired a new DUmmie description on my part: Ramen Noodle DUmmies. Ramen...

"Fetus wins Nobel Peace prize. Experts see excellent potential based on genetic testing. 'Although the fetus has yet to actually take a breath, the results of our DNA analysis says that, once born, the child will have the capability of speech and is likely to wish for world peace' said researchers about the 20 month old fetus." Great intentions aren't the same as great accomplishments. I wish they'd waited a while to see what he can actually do.

Something shocking here. I actually agree with the DUmmies that Saturday Night Live performer, Fred Armisen, did a lousy job of impersonating Barack Obama's voice. It's really not that tough. All you have to do is snap out a few words, pause, and then speak again. Yet Armisen did not even make the slightest attempt to do this. Why didn't the SNL director point this out? Who knows? However, despite that obvious flaw, the SNL skit last night was hilarious as you can see in this VIDEO. Basically, they had Obama admitting that the only things he has been...

One of the recurring thread-types we have chronicled here at the DUmmie FUnnies over the last five years is the "My Encounter With A Freeper" thread. In a MEWAF thread, the DUmmie recounts an incident in which he or she either 1) converted the Freeper, 2) put down the Freeper, or simply 3) experienced bizarre boorish behavior from the Freeper. This latter subtype--a "MEWAF-III," as we call it in the trade--is what we are dealing with here today, a Freeper Encounter of the Third Kind. It should be noted, MEWAF threads may be more or less fictionalized to make...

Link only. NOTE: INTEMPERATE LANGUAGE, if you know what I mean, so be forewarned.

Enjoy their sweet, sweet pain and lamentations. ... and, for those who prefer to watch KOSsacks suffer and writhe in delicious torment: here. ;)

I don't enjoy Sean's radio show. It's too predictable, and he plays the nice guy too much. Any thoughts?

News that the White House is ready to abandon the "public option" has the 'rats and the DUmp depressed and desperate. In fact, I think a few of them need some "end of life counseling"...

Democratic Congressmen may not be looking forward to the upcoming town halls in their own districts, but online liberal activists at the Daily Kos and Democratic Underground are already passing around ways to possibly triumph over the embarrassing you tube videos of government health care supporting politicians being confronted by average Americans.

Link only.Sickening.

It seems that Obama has finally begun to realize that so-called "bipartisan" legislation is a pointless, silly and otherwise foolish notion when dealing with the Republicans. They are The Party of No. No ideas. No solutions. No clues. And when 2010 and 2012 come, no victories... hopefully. They have tried to stop the obvious destruction of our economic, banking, housing, healthcare and other sectors that they fully allowed to happen starting back in the Reagan years and fully implemented from 1994-2006. The Republicans have failed and are now an ever-shrinking party that caters to the spiritually superstitious, homophobic, racist and...

Someone please alert David Shuster!!

I signed up on DU and tried to intelligently discuss the Honduras situation. You can't start threads there as a new sign up, so I looked for threads that had already been started up and tried to comment. I simply pointed out the facts. These threads were pretty much avoided until I commented, but then the comments came flooding in. These is a synopsis of the responses I got: (mostly from leftist articles and not original thought) -- The actions by Zelaya were technically not in violation of the Honduran Constitution because they did not explicitly call for an extension...

It seems like every time I venture into an Apple thread here on FR, it's similar to venturing over into Democratic Underground territory. Personal attacks abound especially if you start criticizing Apple products or other Apple users for being naive into thinking Apple is everything their clever marketing department represents it to be.It seems like the Mac ping list alerts the faithful flock to defend Apple to the death and that is when the claws come out and it starts to get ugly.

The DUmmies are quickly losing their faith in The One. Why? Because it looks more and more likely that any health care program that is passed will have NO "public option" which are code words for "single payer" which are code words for "socialized medicine." Actually it is becoming increasingly unlikely that there will be any health care program, other than just some meaningless Happy Face plan for PR purposes only, coming out of Congress this year or anytime in the foreseeable future. As Obama himself said, we have run OUT of money. Also the Chinese holds a major...
