Using your own property is "squatting" now? (more Freeper Madness)

Look, it's another FReeper FUnny!

Damn, I love making fun of those clods! No major website has had as many users who are as consistently wrong as Free Republic, and they can be funny when they lose.

Did you know that using your own property is "squatting"? It is according to the Freak Rethuglic brain trust.

Mississippi continues to mismanage the Hurricane Katrina aftermath by trying to use zoning as an excuse to force hurricane survivors out of their temporary cottages. Usually these cottages are on residents' own property.

If the EPA forced some big landowner to stop storing barrels of toxic chemicals on their own property, the Freepers would be the first to cry "property rights!" But it's a different story when hurricane victims have to use cottages on their own property until their homes are rebuilt.

Here's what one Freeper said about the hurricane survivors:

"Sorry, no excess compassion for the new 'unqualified homeowners' who never actually contributed to the costs of any of their tents ..."

They never contributed? Then what the hell were they paying taxes for? They paid taxes precisely so the government could function, and they could receive services. If they can't stay in their cottages, then the government should never have charged them taxes.

The Freeper went on to say:

"No squatters rights, IMNSHO."

Go look up 'squatting' in your 'Charlie Brown's 'Cyclopedia', Freeper person. The survivors are living on their own property - so how can it be squatting?

The Freeper caps off with this gem:

"Have we really passed the tipping point in the USA?"

Well, yeah. When right-wing kooks think hurricane victims using their own property is "squatting", I'd say we're long past the tipping point.

Keep entertaining us, conservos.
