Moran Alert at FR
Which, I realize, is tantamount to issuing a Hamburger Alert at McDonalds, but still, I wanted to share this:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1177714/posts

No need to follow this link: I'll summarize. The post is titled "The Bravest People In The Wolrd." These are, it turns out, the people of America and "Briton" - the people who, according to the author, "hate violence and abuse" - but emphatically does not include the people of "spinless" nations like Spain.

Yes, those notoriously spinless Spanish - when will they get with the program and spin things properly? And when will the Freepers learn even the basics of spelling, syntax and logic?

1. Freepers don't want to learn
I've decided. Most of the time, they are only interested in foisting their agenda on others, regardless of the merits or even logic.

2. Freepers need to rewatch "The Lion King"
It's easy to understand, cartoon and all and as Mufasa says "BEING BRAVE DOESN'T MEAN YOU GO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE"

Hey, can you help me with the origin of the word "moran" we say maroon

6. there's a picture of a freeper
with a sign saying 'get a brain morans' - but technically the freeper was probably playing of the name of Jim Moran, a democratic congressman - but hey, it's still funny.

9. Typical Bush supporter. "Rednecks for Bush" I always say.
They stand beside the "Wealthy Business Men for Bush" next to "Jesus Saves - the End Is Near for Bush" folks. What a contingent of either uneducated and/or immoral and/or psychotic jackasses he has on his side. Damn to I despise those folks - all of them.

5. "Republiholics" Coining the phrase.
Since I've decided talking to this type is just like talking to an alcoholic. Your wasting your time.

8. having a idenity crisis
"afraid of what their God would do if he knew their idenity"

They ain't the "Spainish"?! :wtf:

Yes, America and "Briton" are courageous standng firm and tall and erect... blahblahblah.

If you're not worried about the American system of education (or lack of it), this should serve as a warning.

14. Maybe they don't have spell check
on their site. Honestly, I suspect a lot of my posts would look pretty horrendous if it weren't for the nice admin folks at DU providing me with a spell check option. Maybe my posts DO look as bad, and everyone is just being polite and not saying anything.......
