Are your freeper friends/relative/neighbors saying we will all unite...

[XanaDUer]

behind *?

(Not sure if this is the correct forum)

Anyway, I got to thinking about this from another DUer posting that her parents said that they voted for * and that the country will unite behind * and heal.

I myself cut off contact with conservative relatives (long story) and I guess I scare too many RW neighbors for them to come up to me to say that to my face.

Are they saying stuff along this vein to you guys? :wtf:

I think they don't get it-we hate * even more than they did Clinton.

I am not uniting with any of them. I don't want them reaching out to me. I don't want to heal.

What is the vibe out there?

[smirkymonkey]

1. The next repuke that says we need to "unite and heal" gets

their face smashed in by me.

[XanaDUer]

2. Are others experiencing this?

Talk about out of touch with about 50% of the population.

[mmonk]

3. Uniting

with ignorance, fear and hatred is impossible for me. I do relate to hate now, though. I hate them everyday from when I first wake up until I lay my head down at night.

[tnlefty]

4. Don't know. I won't talk to any of them yet. I hope to be visiting VT and

scouting out home prices, etc., during Thanksgiving. The fact that we planned to be away during a holiday looking for a place to move should be a big indicator that I no longer wish to live in this state. I've had a few people tell me that "Your Mom would freak if you moved away".

All I know is that I care too much about the future of my kids to remain in this regressive area. Perhaps if she, my brothers and basically all of my other relatives thought more about the kids in this country and world, I wouldn't be considering moving away with the kids.
I'm not in the mood and I really feel that she voted to directly fuck up the type of future her grandkids will have.

[Cleopatra2a]

5. We talked about this at work today,

but not about uniting behind bush, but uniting amongst ourselves. We said it was a great election fight, almost all of us came in very tired. We're military, we Kerry supporters were very out-numbered. Only one person gloated, but we all hate him, so it didn't matter.

[MattBaggins]

42. Bingo I will unite with my fellow americans

I will rally around my countrymen but I will not rally around the "great uniter".

[MichiganVote]

6. After the closed door campaigning, loyalty oaths etc, by Bush

Hell no, I won't unite.

[ibegurpard]

7. Anyone who says that to me loses a few teeth.

eom

[cynatnite]

55. Fuck them and their tin god shrub n/t

[jdj]

8. I can empathize, I'm ready to leave

I regret ever renewing ties with my family, (in 2000) it was a horrendous mistake.

they have been okay so far, but I know they are gloating like hell behind my back.

[funky_bug]

9. Unite and heal?

They are too busy being asshats right now... but as soon as one says "unite and heal" to me, I'm going to unite my heel with their face.

Fuck them! The Talibornagains can have their commander. My husband is applying for dual-citizenship in Italy, and we're giving the country four more years of blood, sweat and tears. If America blows it again, we're out of here.

My 13yr old daughter just came home from church and told me that she's going to hell... at least that is what she was told... "Anyone who wanted Kerry to win is going to hell anyhow, so why should we care?"

Fuck! I go from sad to pissed to resigned to depressed and back to pissed.

[XanaDUer]

14. What a heartwarming, X-tian story!

Just evokes a real Norman-Rockwellian image to me of a young girl being harassed by good X-tians!

[XanaDUer]

16. I' m looking into dual citizenship myself.

...

[lawladyprof]

31. I already have it and will be getting it for my daughters--eom

[XanaDUer]

32. Fortunately, I have a grandparent born in the Emerald Isle

thank god for that old mick. Shit.

[despairing optimist]

10. No justice, no peace, no unity

Hitler wanted peace and unity too. I wonder what the freepers' Final Solution is so that "we" can live all together as one happy family.

[October]

11. I don't want anything to do with these guys

Unite??? No thank you. Their idea of uniting means for us to go along with whatever they say/do.

[gratefull4u]

12. I got a text message from a idiot * supporter

4 more years I called right back and left a message saying that I was happy that * would be held responsible for everything that happens, no more blaming Clinton. I expected him to support * by joining up to serve in the military. I told him that if he did not do this he would be just like his cheer leading, draft dodging, short hero. Later when he pulled in from work I went out and asked him why he proud to be identified with the right wingers, he can't stand them.
I just kept making fun of *, he was embarrassed, as he should be for voting for that looser. I will probably never feel the same about this person and I would not have done this to him if he didn't egg me on. I will never, ever get behind * for any reason. I can't stand his voice. I wish aar would quit playing clips of * talking, I have to keep running to turn the radio down. Ridicule people who voted for * it feels so good.

[arewenotdemo]

51. Got that. Ridicule not only feels good,

it may actually do some good.

Shame the motherfuckers. If nothing else.

[XanaDUer]

54. Why enable their insanity?

The ridiculous deserves ridicule.

[ejcastellanos]

13. Got that, "We have to unite," from brother in law

I told him I'll show Bush as much support as he did Clinton.

He said, "I supported Clinton more than you do Bush."

I told him I supported Bush after 9/11 on Afghanistan but Bush squandered it. He had a country that was more united than it has been in 50 years and Bush threw that all away for Iraq.

[XanaDUer]

15. I think the RNC is afraid

actually, and sent out the message about talking about "uniting", "healing", and "coming together" behind *.

Because half the US hates his guts.

Mel "Fetus Fanatic" Martinez said something today on the local news (FL) about "reaching out" to those who did not vote for him.

Personally, I would like Mr. Martinez to jab a long pointy, curarae-pointed stick up his rectum and to keep going until it comes out of his mouth.

[leesa]

17. Never. I will fight this immoral bastard until he is behind bars where he

belongs

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. No. I haven't allowed a freeper to open their mouth in front of me.

:hi:

[XanaDUer]

21. Hey yourself!

I scare them. I'm a New York City by way of South Florida loudmouth in the wisteria-draped South.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Great mental image there!!! It's good to see you!!!

:toast:

[shrike]

19. A 'fuck you' to them

They've done their damndest for 12 years to tear this country apart. And I'm supposed to unite behind them and heal??? FUCK YOU!!!

[212demop]

20. they're gloating

checked out some of the freeper boards today (yes, it was very masochistic of me) and they are writing hateful, hateful things about us, referring specifically to our boards over here at DU and their joy at our misery. One post looked promising, with a subject line about this being a chance at conciliation, but it turns into a really juvenile, spiteful rant like everything else they put up there.

Forget it. All we've got, literally, literally, is the filibuster. Otherwise, any power we wield must come from outside the system. It won't be pretty.

[XanaDUer]

24. Ah, but the Postman Always Rings Twice...

If he misses you the first time. ;)

Gloat away dearies. But remember, you're stuck in this country, too.

[lark]

39. Just deserts

I got into it with a woman at my work. She was all happy and gloating about what a great day it is for America. I told her she wouldn't think it was so great when her daughter gets all her OT cut and loses her college funding and her Healthy Kids insurance for her son. Told her I hoped she would enjoy going broke trying to take care of them because they could no longer take care of themselves.

Hate Repugs!!! and HELL NO, he is not MY president. I absolutely loathe that little Texas creep.

lark

[XanaDUer]

41. And make sure she knows you'll rub her face in it

:hi:

I know I will. :)

[OhioChick]

22. It's Pissing me Off....

Arguing with a Repuke on another board....the whole * won fair and square thing and the nation isn't dividing, but uniting. BS

[Thurston Howell IV]

23. Winning means not having to say you're sorry

I get the feeling that this talk of uniting will last a day or so and then the knives will be unveiled:
From adamyoshida.com

"So, George W. Bush won. And he's done so by a solid margin. The Democrats' attempted coup managed to last all of eight hours. Not only is the President the first candidate to win a majority of the vote in a Presidential Election since 1988, but he also won more popular votes than any other candidate in history. The Democrats spent months telling us that high voter turnout would equal a win for them but, as it turns out, when 60% of the electorate showed up at the polls it translated into a Bush lead of nearly four million votes. In short: take that, you sons of bitches.
The Democrats are now talking about how this is a signal that Bush should 'bring the country together'. Translated into American, this means 'now that you've won, you should surrender to us.' The hell with that. We've won. Winning means not having to say you're sorry... Those who didn't support Bush can go and perform a certain anatomically impossible act. They lost, now they can sit in the back of the bus. Thank God Almighty."

[devilgrrl]

25. No they aren't - they know better than that.

I will never back that dim witted son of an asshole!

[guitar man]

26. None have had the nerve

To get anywhere near me yet. It's kind of amusing that I'm the lone liberal in the Oklahoma bunch of the family, but they all know I'm the meanest sumbitch among them in a fist fight, as some have found out the hard way. They know the only "healing" any of them would be doing is after a trip to the emergency room :grr:

[XanaDUer]

27. I myself can perform a verbal evisceration that could stop an ox in its

tracks.

I *may* receive one last desperate e-mail from a well-intentioned simpleton relative about the importance of getting behind * to "fight terrorism" (yawn), but I may not...

[keyzersoze13]

28. Conservative Calls for Unity

A Repuke at my office told me today that the unity of the nation is entirely up to how willing the Democrats are to roll over and accept Republican superiority. Looks like they're getting off to a great start on this whole unity thing. :eyes:

Four more years of this. I think I'm going to get off to an early start on drinking heavily.

[XanaDUer]

30. It's not looking real good.

The unity thing. Oh, well.

[5thGenDemocrat]

35. Which begs the question

Why is unity such a virtue?
Fuck the Repukes. I'd rather have a Civil War.
John
And the sooner the better.

[Julien Sorel]

33. If Kerry had won, would they be talking about unity and healing?

[XanaDUer]

38. Ah,

No. Let me extrapolate here:

"tho s ee fuking babie killing aborshist tree huggiibg bbastards cheeted and stole the el ecshun form a good CCHristiiiaan man like buch and GGOd wiill punish us again like HE did on 911/..."

Stuff like this.

[arewenotdemo]

53. Good stuff.

Espeshully fuking.

[XanaDUer]

60. Lol.

God is in the details.

[Samantha]

34. Yes -- a Republican attorney walked up to me today and said

I think the Country will get behind our President.

I immediately started thinking, where have you been the last four years? Do you really think half of this Country that despises Bush* is now going to come out in favor of a war with Iran? Do you really think had the shoe been on the other foot the Republicans would today be saying, sure, I can get behind freedom of choice.

I don't know what Kool-Aid 50 percent of this Country is drinking, but I want to know, much less want a taste.

[XanaDUer]

44. Does he have draft-age kids?

I'll bet that will snap the Kool-Aid grin off his little face real fast.

[Eye and Monkey]

36. it's a code word, and to me indicates the calm before the storm

by late January, those who do not "unite behind **" will increasingly be labeled traitors, subversives, enemies, (insert code word of choice here). It'll ratchet past that point, too.

[XanaDUer]

43. They may, but it won't work

I feel a large swell of dissent is growing.

Like a raisin in the sun...

[Eye and Monkey]

46. I hope you're right, 'cause I'd like to add to that swell

and help push it into creativity.

[XanaDUer]

48. History has shown that, under similar circumstances,

there have been and will be.

[Eye and Monkey]

57. Well, yeah, and it has also shown the other side, too

Matter of fact, I've seen it up-close. I served in humanitarian assistance programs in the Balkans several times thru-out the '90's.

So, you see, I really DO hope that there's enough of the right kind of groundswell to curb the worst tendencies...

[XanaDUer]

61. I hope so as well.

...

[DemonFighterLives]

37. I just can't get into their uniting bs

* is the most divisive pRes ever and he has no ideas whatsoever that could be supported by a thinking person.
I cannot ever stand to hear him gloat or watch him smirk. The next 4 years will be Underground, I'm sure.

[gordianot]

40. No surrender.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

45. None of them dare call me right now.....

n/t

[DenaliDemocrat]

47. I will unite

NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL. FUCK BUSH. I WILL STAND TO THE LAST AGAISNT HIM

[NightTrain]

49. No; they're too busy gloating over their "victory."

Cocksuckers!

[arewenotdemo]

50. 51-48

What that tells me is that Kerry almost won the thing. Yeah, we all think that it SHOULD have been 99-1, the right way but the fact that it wasn't is simply proof that evolution demands TIME.

Someone here recently pointed out that the fundies were actually beginning to enter their tarpits, and I replied that I just didn't see it, given the popularity of Gibson's Torturama and the Left Behind fantasies. But after hearing how empty the churches in Europe are now, can Amurica really be 3 generations behind the Europeans?

[XanaDUer]

52. Almost half the country hates his guts

HATES him with the same visceral reaction some conservatives had to Clinton.

There will not be uniting.

[mulethree]

58. re-elected by 3%

I don't think a president has been re-elected by such a small margin since Wilson back like 1916. They either win big, or loose or they don't try for re-election.

[Zorra]

56. Fortunately, I live in another country and don't have to deal with that.

99% of the people here hate Bu$h.

As far as I'm concerned America is no longer the USA, it is the DSA - the Divided States of America.

Maybe I'll start wearing a hat that says "republicans suck" so that no fascist will ever be tempted to "reach out" to me.

[derbstyron]

59. I DID unite after 2000 and 9/11; I WILL NOT unite this time.

Fuck them and everything they stand for.
They are destroying this country and they are murderers.
They can all burn in hell.
