My partner, whom I do and will love always and forever, might be considered a masochist. While watching or reading Murdoch media to get a peek inside the republican peanut shell can occasionally be intriguing or even amusing - trolling into the world of the freeper seems like ... well... masochism. My partner is drawn to Free Republic like a moth is drawn to a flame: incessant visits to that site even though the result is always dismay or fear. It kind of falls into the same realm as watching the television drama 'Criminal Minds' only without the resolution at the end.
Criminal Minds takes the extreme edge of sick-minded people, profiles them, and then captures or kills them. I hate the first part, sick-minded people, and love the rest. The problem with the freepers, as I see it, is that they qualify for the first part of the TV show but no one is profiling, capturing, or rendering them helpless by the end of the trolling episode. Visiting the freeper site tends to leave my partner with sweaty palms and the question, "Is it just me or does this terrify you too?" (partner won't even watch Criminal Minds)
Help me and my partner out please.
Below the fold is the article from the freepathon (they are trying to raise money for their site - voluntary taxation? - ). Please let me know how you would answer my partner's question and take the chance to respond to the freeper post here because you certainly wouldn't be allowed to respond there -not a very inclusive site.
Thanks.
Obama to rule by executive order? Bring it on!! [FReepathon thread XIII]

My FRiends, it's becoming more and more obvious every day that Obama and the Democrats are out to purposely destroy America. They're using crisis mode to piece by piece dismantle the constitution. First it was the too big to fail crisis that led to the unconstitutional TARP program, the feds unconstitutionally taking over private sector corporations, the unconstitutional bailouts and the unconstitutional trillion dollar porkulus package. Follow that with the unconstitutional federal takeover of our healthcare system and his unconstitutional bypass of the senate's advice and consent function regarding presidential appointments (czars). Then it was thumbing his nose at the congress by conducting and continuing war in Libya without congressional approval.
Now, his multi-trillion dollar big spending programs have led to a so-called "debt crisis." It's not a debt crisis, it's a spending crisis. And it's now clear that the president has no intention of working with the congress to decrease spending or use a constitutional solution to the debt. He has avoided stating any plan to the American people because he has no valid constitutional plan. Instead, he plans on invoking (twisting) the 14th amendment by executive order to raise the debt limit by presidential decree. He plans to completely ignore the constitution and bypass the U.S. Congress!
This would be the constitutional crisis of the century. We ain't seen nothing yet. This would make Nixon look like a Boy Scout and the constitutional crisis of the 70's a church picnic. If Obama does this, political blood will flow in the streets. Impeached or not, this will be political suicide for Obama and the democrats. Bring it on!!
And still, the Republicans are falling all over each other trying to come up with a bipartisan plan to solve the "debt crisis" when all they really need to do is pass a budget that gets spending under control. We don't need higher taxes, we don't need an increase in the debt limit, we don't need a balanced budget amendment and we don't need wimpy spending cuts that are scheduled to take place some time in the future. And we sure as hell don't need to bend over for the democrats. The Republicans control the House and the House controls the spending, the taxes, the deficit and the debt.
So, control it, already! Hold the line! Reinforcements are coming in 2012! Do not retreat, do not surrender, do not cave, do not make a deal with the devil. Congressional deadlock would be far better than capitulation or continuing down the current bankruptcy path. Worst case, no debt limit increase would force spending cuts.
In our current crisis, government is not the solution; government is the problem. --RR
This is no time for the Republicans to lose faith in conservative principle or go wobbly. Please call or write your congressional reps and urge them to hold the line!!
And if Obama dares trying to rule by executive order, let the games begin!!
TEA party America will not stand for a dictator!!
God bless America.
Long live Liberty!!
