Freeway Blog Smackdown of the Moment…

Share article:

From a note we just received from our friend, the Freeway Blogger

“the enclosed, by the way, is what happens when you take down my signs and replace them with a lame “Support our troops” sign done w/ paper and printer…”

He went on to add…

“never fuck with the freewayblogger…”

We won’t.

Freeway (or Mr. Blogger, if you’re nasty) was our guest in the final hour of last weekend’s BRAD SHOW. If you missed the interview, it was a hoot! Go to the BRAD SHOW Archives and scroll on down to HOUR 4 of the 6/11/05 show to give it a listen!

    One republican I would vote for.

    The link is a speach by Ron Paul (R. Texas believe it or not). He is a staunch fiscal conservative believing in a gold standard, and only going to war if you can pay for it.

    "The cost of war is always more than anticipated. If all the costs were known prior to the beginning of a war, fewer wars would be fought. . . ."

    Lets see if my new found linking skills work . . .

    Ron Paul Speach

    Ron Paul is a Libertarian who was elected to Congress as a Republican. He is a perfect example of the difference between a true conservative (he is one, philosophically), one who believes in limited government and fiscal responsibility, and neo-cons,
    who believe in using imperial power to enforce their own concept of freedom (really, it amounts to free-market capitalism) on the rest of the world, absent even a clue about how to pay for it.

    The creature known as buttsnot that frequents this blog…

    this is it’s real agenda: White Nationalism

    http://home.ddc.net/ygg/

    There are no nice words for it. I coined:
    "youphonyism"

    Don’t waste your time with it, unless to verbally abuse it. It isn’t possible to be guilty of ad hominem attacks on a creature lower than a slug, so have at it, then ignore it. It will eventually slither away. It will try to slither back under another name at first. The stench and slime trails are unmistakable.

    Revealed: how MI6 sold the Iraq war
    Nicholas Rufford

    THE Secret Intelligence Service has run an operation to gain public support for sanctions and the use of military force in Iraq. The government yesterday confirmed that MI6 had organised Operation Mass Appeal, a campaign to plant stories in the media about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. more.

    This is one I can get behind. Its a great way to express free speech. We need to get the word out that the Reps and Democrats that voted for this war need to be held accountable. We cant spare anyone, they all must go.

    This made me wonder why Dubya keeps saying over and over ….."America is safer or the world is safer without Saddam Hussein in power". Keeping in mind he is trying to outdo his father’s image-war hero n veteran, lost a second term. Also, a need to find acceptance in his father’s eyes. Lest not forget Saddam threatened his father. He is actually killing two birds with one stone so to speak. Makes a good banner too, I think. "George H.W. Bush is safer without Saddam Hussein in power." Dubya being president may rehash the assassination plot but doubled-eliminating both. Just a thought. I am a disabled (post vietnam)veteran and if I could I’d have already posted it on the freeway.

    From What Really Happened:

    I have probably missed a few scenarios here and readers are welcome to send along their analysis. But I think one thing is clear. We are on the verge of history-making changes in this nation. Whether those changes will be for good or evil will rest largely on what you, as a private citizen, are willing to do in the coming weeks. One of the biggest lies Hollywood puts out in its movies is the myth of the hero. Whether it’s Batman, the Lone Ranger, the Savior, Gandalf, the cavalry riding over the hill, or whatever, the implied lesson is that you can sit on your duff because someone is coming to help you. Well, that is simply not true. There is no hero coming to save this nation. Batman is just an actor in a costume. Superman can do those amazing feats because he’s a computer animation. The Jedi are just a plot device in a screenplay. If this nation is to be wrenched back from dictatorship and restored to a Republic, YOU will have to do it. Nobody can or will do it for you. YOU have to pick up the phones. YOU have to knock on doors. YOU have to xerox flyers for people who don’t get their news from the net. YOU have to talk to everyone around you not only to educate them but to let those who also aware what is going on know that they are not alone. Create your own activist groups. Build your own web sites. Put banners in your windows and on your lawns. Put stickers on your cars. Be VISIBLE. Make noise. Force yourself to be seen and heard. Make the world know what you think of a government that lies to the people.

    Regnat Populus.

    How come no one here talks about the Democrats that lied to us like Bush did?

    Which ones lied to us, Medium Left?

    And which ones sent us into an endless and unnecessary war based on those lies?

    I’m happy to talk about them.

    Very well said #17!!!!! Am working on it now.

    All politicians lie at some point in their poliitcal career #16, seems to become a part of the norm for Washington. #22 hit the hammer on the head so to speak.

    I have a slightly altered one of Freewayblogger’s signs taped to the rear window of my van:

    A Message to TAXPAYERS from Halliburton:
    Thanks for all the money, sorry about you kids

    I believe we need to reach over to those rightwingers who really are having second thoughts, and putting the word Taxpayers in bold always gets right wing attention. Also made one up for the other car:

    RU Still Beliveing Bush?

    The message is that enevitably they will see the light and we welcome them

    Bush is Commander in Chief. It is assumed that he will tell the truth about any case for war.

    Since he lied to the public and to Congress about Iraq, misstatements by U.S. Representatives of either party cannot be defined as lies. They are errors resulting from taking the Commander in Chief’s averments at face value.

    The betrayal is non-partisan. Republicans should be as angry as Democrats. Only the fact that they refuse to concede an issue to Democrats causes them to resist acknowledging the truth…Bush lied.
