The Turbo is spooled up in Freeperville

Well, well, well......

The Supreme Court ruling has produced some tasty treats in Freeperville. Question: How does a Freeper seek revenge for the supreme court ruling on healthcare? Answer: Just fire the liberal employees.....

Here's to many expensive lawsuits!

We have a small production office and after today's decision by those putrid traitors on the SC. We will fire our obama-worshiping employee. Hey, it's not my fault. WE CAN'T AFFORD HIM now after the decision. I hope for the worst on those scums on the SC and this POS p-resident.

We were actually saving this clown for November as therapy if Odumbo manages to win again.

Believe it or not, I saw a couple of threads in 08’ the night Odumbo won and some owner Freepers did exactly that. I am not sure sure if they went thru with it.
The day after the 0 won I went out to the parking lot and made a note of all the 0dumbo bumper stickers. It took about a month but I rid my operation of all of them.
I later sold out and retired.

I was thinking of the incredible number of "sightings" that happened after Obama beat the shit out of mclame and caribou barbie. For awhile every puke skidmark on free republic was the chief in charge of firing dumbocrats at work. They didn't even bother changing the dates on the posts they stole from each other to "prove" that it was having an effect.

It's very common for RW losers to claim to be business owners on the internet. When they pull the "I'm gonna fire all my liberal employees" they have just outed themselves.

8. It's amazing how quick they are to undermine capitalist theory
Tue Jul 3, 2012, 08:36 PM
Jul 2012

Capitalists are suppose to be concerned with profit and loss to the exclusion of all other things; after all, morals and emotions and feelings are not something that fits in a ledger.


And yet... these conservatives, the guardians of capitalism and the free market, are willing, even EAGER, to disrupt the smooth operation and profits of their companies in order to punish people for their political beliefs, their race, their religion, and their sexuality.

"I'm going to fire the guy with 10 years experience and intimate knowledge of my organization because he's an Obamabot; the guy I hire at half the cost will cost far more in profits than the wages I save, but he's a TEABAGGER!!!"

anti-Obama slogans on their only outdoor sign, fronting a major road. I keep wondering how they can run a business on the basis that they will only have anti-Obama customers, and let the rest of them drive on by down the road and shop elsewhere.

They are a hardscape-supply outfit, selling various kinds of stone, sand, mulch, bluestone, etc. The economy for landscapers and builders is not all that great around here, took a major hit and has not recovered. There are plenty of places to go to get the same materials, wholesale and retail. Places that don't advertise their politics one way or the other.

I can't figure out whether they have made a business decision that the anti-Obama position will actually be a selling point for them, or whether they have just allowed their political rage to get the better of them. This is SE PA, right near the line between Chester and Lancaster Counties, where one county will go for Obama, and the other for Romney, barring a miracle.

that regularly goes after Democratic politicians, from local to national. A guy down the road went a whole extra mile and a half away to find competition just because of it.

I think you have to be stupid to publicly support candidates as a business and and totally moronic to vilify opposing candidates.

it makes it easier to ID who to do business with and who not to do business with.

If they b a pub, they don't get my business at all and I even go out of my way to encourage others to not do business with them either.

and the proof is they brag about how fucking brave they are. I work for Republicans. One put up a stink about my posts here a while back. The OWNER, a lawyer, agreed with me that he cannot (according to law) interfere with my posting as long as I do not slander the people or place of business. And as long as I don't block Fox news from the internal network (which is what started the whole mess).


I won. A smart Republican IN CHARGE who trusts me with his business doesn't give a shit if I belong to DU.


These ASSHOLES at Freeperland are so clueless I'm surprised they can find their keyboards.

Many of them actually seem to be convinced that Romney is going to clean Obama's clock come November. The only poll they trust is Rasmussen and they discard pretty much EVERY other one which shows Obama in the lead.
