Hee hee. Freeper exposes himself on WSJ editorial section
I shudder when I read the WSJ editorials but what I really get creeped out about is the reader responses. One of today's articles was titled:

"God and Good Government
Are American soldiers doing the Lord's work in Iraq? You bet."
http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/bminiter/?id=110006055

I didn't even read the article and just went straight to the reader response section to check out all the freaks drooling and cooing over the article like they always do. There are usually one or two sane readers who respond, but I should have known that the entire rest of the readership is the free republic members. I can't believe that never dawned on me before now. Here's the proof:

"The Best
Neil Gustafson - Raleigh, N.C.

Best editorial on the war I have seen. You should print this is the WSJ paper for the world to read! I would love to post this on Free Republic but rules prohibit."

Hee hee.

Here's another one -- note how many religious words she manages to squeeze into 2 sentences:

"God Bless America
Barbara Wellborn - Jackson, Miss.

Thank you for this article about our military doing the Lord's work, even if they aren't aware of it at the time. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you and OpinionJournal.com and God Bless America!"

Freeper for sure! Somehow, I feel better now. I guess all along I thought that the responders on that board were real people and it scared me. Now that I know they were only Freepers all along, I will probably sleep better at night.

1. Once freepers are exposed
you know that you are dealing with a radical fringe element and not a real normal person, there is nothing normal about a freeper. :puke:

2. Rationalizing is an act..
that will absolve completely all personal responsibility. We do it all the time, everytime we count the soldiers killed in Iraq we completely ignore the number of Iraqis killed there.

Are they so inhuman they don't even deserve a number?

3. IMHO you're equating being rationale with being...
a hypocrit. Hypocrisy is an irrational act. And it should be enlightening to everyone that the evangelicals are among the most blatant.

4. Bombing the shit out of "your enemies" is doing the Lord's work! I knew
that these people only listen to soundbytes and fake Christians such as Rudeass Limbaugh and Sean Insanity. The Lord always told us to pray for our enemies, not bomb the crap out of them and force Christianity on them. (Sigh) I guess as long as we are not being invaded and bombed by some other nation with a different religious belief and being forced to follow it, I guess all's good and well in the world.
