16. HUH?
Have yet to see that any of them agreed with it---Here in texas the Governor thinks that ID is the greatest thing since hard cheese, and wants all the little kiddies in school to be indoctrinated and to become good little christian proles.

Edited on Sat Jan-07-06 06:58 PM by Cocoa
it's a raging controversy there. The opponents of ID even mock the fake preachers and their foolish followers.

Responding to a posting today about an ID club at Cornell Univ.,

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1552575/posts

Time for the Pat Robertson-bots to come out en masse and defend it as their contract states.



to which a fellow anti-ID poster replies:


They may be too busy to get to it today, what with being deployed to defend his indefensible assertion that Ariel Sharon's latest health downturn is punishment from God for trying to divide God's land.

26. they're not moles
and you don't have any inside info. Bona fide freepers disagree strongly with the ID nonsense. Deal with it.

You can let go of your cartoon view of the world and life will go on. Constructing elaborate fictions to prop up the cartoon is a waste of time and doesn't do anyone any good.

28. "Do I have to go to heaven if Pat Robertson is gonna be there?"
pretty good line from a Freeper in a Pat Robertson thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1553282/posts

<snip>

Through a spokesman, Pat Robertson responded to criticism of the idiotic comments he made yesterday.

<snip>

What an utter load of crap this is. As usual with this clown, he claims that the oeft wing took his comments "out of context" to discredit him. No Pat, your pretty good at doing that yourself. And it's total BS to say you were "taken out of context" (a favorite excuse of Robertson's when he makes these types of statements)

Oh sure, Pat, you were just "reminding" your viewers (who are fools for watching or donating one dime to him) about what the Bible says about dividing Israel. It just happened to be at the time you were mentioning the stroke of your "good friend" Ariel Sharon. Gee, I'm sure it was just a coincidence that you also happened to mention the assassination of Yihtzak Rabin, who was trying to make an ill-fated "land for peace" deal. And look at this quote in the original statementQuote:
Sharon was personally a very likeable person. I am sad to see him in this condition. But I think we need to look at the Bible and the Book of Joel. The prophet Joel makes it very clear that God has enmity against those who, quote, "divide my land." God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible, he says, "This is my land." And for any prime minister of Israel who decides he going carve it up and give it away, God says, "No. This is mine."

Hey Pat, why did you decide to use the word "but" I have highlighted above?

The statement put out by Robertson today is similar to the guy who uses the "N" word on a regular basis and when he gets called a racist he says "No I'm not, I've got a lot of black friends". Pathetic.

<snip>

Rappers credo???

PS: Robertson is indeed an idiot.

<snip>

I've defended Robertson before, but it's past time for the man to learn from his mistakes.

He is in a position where people look up to him and where his enemies look for comments of his they can use against him, and against us.

Robertson needs to pray to God for restraint and discernment when he speaks.

<snip>

I think it's funny that in his "apology" he still defends what he said, while calling Sharon a "good friend". This guy's a better double-talker than Slick Willie. At least he ain't gettin BJs on the side (though I could be wrong).

<snip>

I know no one wants to hear this, but, the possibility remains that he could be right! I'm not saying he is or that he should have even said this, but, it's a possibility.


<snip>

He's not right. He's totally wrong on this. Sharon's health and the bad way he took care of his body is what caused this. His negligence of his own health. Nothing else. Who knows how many times Sharon must have been warned by his physicians to lose weight. Pat Robertson is full of you know what! He is NOT God's messenger and has no right to say that is the reason he is in a coma.


<snip>

Do I HAVE to go to Heaven if Pat Robertson and Jan & Paul Crouch are going to be there?

They are all bad children that need someone to tell them what to think, do, and say.

12. Moran may be giving them too much credit, see also:
Edited on Sat Jan-07-06 06:14 PM by Syncronaut Seven
Moron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Originally a scientific term, coined by psychologist Henry Goddard from a Greek word meaning "foolish", and used to describe a person with a genetically determined mental age between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was also once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70 and was a step up from "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and two steps up from "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word moron, along with "retarded" and "feeble-minded" (among others), was once considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, though these words have all now passed into common slang use, exclusively in a detrimental context.

A Maasai Warrior <1> is correctly called a "Moran", not a "Moron".

These are Stalinists, the only difference being that Bush is the object of their unquestioning obedience.

A fool needs a strongman. The brave rely on themselves.

18. I think the Neaderthals were likely well in advance of Freepers.
But then, a slime mold likely is, too.

17. Yahoos
On an intellectual level - mediocrities.
On a political level - fascists with alligator mouth and mosquito ass.
On a religious level - fundie Rapturists and dispensationalists, and those they worship.
On a worthiness level - -3 on a scale of one to ten

It's like a pre-pubescent naughty childs' treehouse gang.:boring:
