Dear Freepers, Are You Okay?

By Sniffles

We cats are worried about our right-wing friends over at one of the Internet's most paranoid places, Free Republic. Their server has been down for more than a day now. If we can't read them, how will we know whether they've succumbed to post-2012-election malaise? (Like some of their colleagues on the lunatic fringe.)

When you try to visit Free Republic, the message that comes up claims that repairs are underway and the outage is "nothing sinister." But we cats are sure there are Freeps gnashing their teeth in remote corners of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, convinced that it's sabotage by liberal Commie devotees of the Kenyan-socialist-Nazi-abortion-loving-homosexual agenda.

Speaking of that last one, this ad was the reason we cats wanted to spend time with our Freeper friends. We know they hate Colin Powell. And goodness knows they hate Obama. But what are they saying about Dick Cheney and (gasp!) Laura Bush?

Oh, Freeps, please come back!

(UPDATE: It's Thursday, and Free Republic is still offline. This is terrible, especially since Laura Bush just asked to be cut from the Respect for Marriage ad. We need our Freeper fix! We're going through withdrawal, and it isn't pretty.)
