Iv read through the thread, and it seems like FREEP is getting worse, or has FREEP always had the same jet engine scream of ignorance and hatred to it?

I just ask because the amount of ignorance these freepers put on display is throwing me for a loop, I just cannot wrap my head around some of these peoples statements. Especially that one comparing people killed during Henry VIII's reign and Jim Crow.

They've had a lot of ideological purges within the last couple of years so a lot of the more moderate (for Freep, that is) users have been kicked out and only the ones that are batshit crazy enough for JimRob remain.

Also it should be noted that these are the types of people that genuinely do not see a problem with Jim Crow laws. It's not even a matter of them hating black people, it's just they don't have a problem with the idea of a minority population being treated as second citizens, provided it's not them of course.

Precambrian: Apr 30, 2008

2012's craziness came as much from Mitt winning as Mitt losing. As Freep switched from one flavor of the month to another, Jim Rob made it clear that there was a party line, one that would shift without warning. Ron Paul supporters were purged, being behind the times could get you banned, and quoting the time Jim vowed to abstain rather than ever vote for a Mormon RINO like Mitt Romney was right out. They could handle Obama winning, it was easy to blame someone else for that, but Jim and Freep cannot handle losing. That's why they'd immediately ditch the loser when they lost, then come back to them later as sainted victims of injustice. It was so blatant and artless, though, all but the most spineless Freepers saw that this was hypocritical bullshit and either left or ~~spoke up~~were banned.

At the same time, there was a growing crowd of suck up toadies summoning Jim to any thread that seemed to dissent. I only remember Manc and Savagesusie being in the group, but they're enough to let you know: they were crazy. If one of them saw anything out of line, they'd summon the rest of them to bully the dissenting voice. If it was bad enough, they'd suck up to Jim Rob and beg for a zot. Jim would eat it up, he had built up a cult where he was always right, always praised, and capable of absolute social power in his domain.

They're authoritarians--is it any wonder that they descended into in-fighting and asskissing until they'd alienated all but an inner circle of sycophants?

Freep has gotten worse but at the same time you have to remember that the website is frequented by the kind of people who saw a charming white guy from Arkansas in the White House and formed militias lest Bubba send in the UN's black helicopters to take their guns. Because he's a democrat. Of course a black man in the white house is going to drive them into the deep end.

Have they always been allowed to say 'negro'? I don't remember seeing it until the Trayvon Martin case, which to me was the tipping point where they stopped saying "I'm not a racist" to saying "yeah, so?" or veering more into race realist bullshit. Being told by the law that their dreams of gunning down a feral for being uppity were a-ok really set them off.

"Negro" used to be memory-holeable, but right around the time of the Trayvon Martin shitstorm it became acceptable. Funny, that.

Also, I need to hurry up and invent some kind of system before 2017 that allows me to be paid every time a Freeper says "slut" because that's basically their n-word for women and it's going to start seeing a LOT of use here pretty soon.

If Hillary gets the Dem. nomination, expect jokes about PMS and handwringing about false rape accusations and biotruths to take the place of jokes about ghetto thugs and the knockout game; even moreso if she wins.

Also, don't feel bad for them, because their ideology is destructive, and it isn't nearly as dead as you may hope. There's plenty of young people who feel like they do; they just aren't posting about it on freep.

Yeah, but the problem with the race (and lgbt and gender)-centered bigotry is that it reinforces existing bigotry against entire social classes. When you're using slurs like "ghetto" or "chimp" to complain about a black president, you're reinforcing the use of those slurs against all black people and perpetuating a culture of racism (edit- and this kind of thing certain isn't restricted to one website or aging demographic). Whereas jokes about Bill Clinton's philandering aren't perpetuating a culture that systematically oppresses cheating white guys, as a class, in the same way that black or gay people are oppressed. The same goes with jokes about Hillary Clinton's appearance or PMS or whatever -- they both draw from, and reinforce, stereotypes that harm all women. There's nothing you could say about a milquetoast straight white guy that would contribute to the oppression of straight white guys across America, because it doesn't exist in the same way that oppression of racial or sexual minorities does.

Yeah, quite possibly, though there have been studies that show a significant number of white people hold views that run parallel to what you see on freep in regard to race relations: black people are the real racists, racism is over, etc. Or the percentage of republican voters who claim to believe Obama's a Kenyan muslim. Scott Walker's chief of staff sent a bunch of emails that would have been right at home on freep. And let's not forget all those things young people were posting on twitter and facebook after the most recent election.

Equating "people think blacks are the real racists" with Free Republic's views is like equating Obama's support for a minimum wage hike with a proletariat revolution. It's not even remotely the same thing.

No, they lost; but they are going down kicking and screaming the entire way. The Tea party is imploding, Republicans are eating each other, and young people are becoming more and more blue every day.

Eh, I disagree that it's that big of a leap. And there are other things I mentioned. If you read the article I posted, it would seem like Walker's office had plenty of people that would fit right in. You can also find tons of freep-like posts made by young people on facebook calling Obama a traitor and using racial slurs.

I agree that this sort of ideology is undoubtedly becoming less tenable to express in public, but that it is "kicking and screaming" on the way out, and that it isn't confined to a few aging holdouts. Not to put words in your mouth, but do think it's probably just that you're somewhat more optimistic and I'm somewhat more pessimistic about the popularity of these views among non-minorities?

At the pride parades the gays display a great deal of nudity. They defecate and urinate on each other. They perform actual and simulated sex acts on each other. They celebrate perversion.

And you�d force someone who doesn�t want to participate in those activities to attend and support them? You certainly are not a conservative.

These people will really freak out when Arizona turns blue in the next decade. I live in AZ, and while our Governor is crazy and the state breeds prepper nutjobs, it is slowly changing. Immigration reform will really speed up the process, if it ever happens.

Fun fact: I pointed out to some conservatives that Texas and Arizona will likely be purple or blue in the next ten years, and that the Republicans will be unlikely to win the Presidency if/when that happens. Their solution? Literally stated that it would be time for gerrymandering and splitting electoral votes. I was somewhat expecting a "yeah, time for the GOP to lighten their message" and ended up with another double-down on being assholes who undermine Democracy for "freedom."

The whole silent majority stuff is so deeply ingrained in their political psyches they can't quite let it go, even when the "death to America" type stuff starts to creep in. The synthesis of the two trends seems to be lots of SHTF/RAHOWA type muttering, which is kind of a tacit acknowledgement that they don't have the numbers but they have the ammunition. To wit:

Sure, it was �music� but it represented more than that. I expect to see more of these incidents as we go deeper into the clogged toilet that is Obama�s America.

What if the shooter was a black female and she felt threatened by a car filled with white boys making lewd comments? Would she be justified in shooting it up?

This is just so loving weird. Like, they just assume that nobody can truly enjoy rap music, or feel comfortable acting flamboyant. No, obviously anyone different hates their own mannerisms too, but they affect them on purpose just to stick it to fat old white men. I feel like next they're going to say that gay people hate gay sex, but they do it just to spite God; or Mexicans don't understand Spanish either, but they pretend to just to rebel against America's One True English Language.

I guess it's just Freepers projecting their own spitefulness and hatred of everything onto everyone else. It also explains why they talk about burning tires for fun on earth day. Everything they do is spite. They will stink up their own yards and houses just to annoy one environmentalist...so obviously anyone who puts a dick up his butt grits his teeth and grins at how disgusted a Baptist would be.

Their opinion isn't so monolithic, actually. Read their thread, there are actually several folks defending Lincoln, calling people Neo-Confederate revisionists, bashing slavery, and generally giving me some hope for humanity.

There are also excellent examples of every kind of deflection of critical thought possible.

This is the most ironic post I have ever seen from the increasingly insular Freep forum.

Replace "play their rap crap so loud" with "post their white supremacist bullshit" and delete "Not because they like it.", and you have Freep.

In fact, let me just do that.

While he's never held an elected office, he HAS run - and held appointed positions, too.

quote:

In 1972, Takei was an alternate delegate from California to the Democratic National Convention. The following year he ran for City Council of Los Angeles, finishing second, losing by just 1,647 votes. During the campaign, Takei's bid for the city councilman's seat caused one local station to stop running the repeats of the original Star Trek series until after the election and KNBC-TV to substitute the premiere episode of the Star Trek animated series scheduled by the network with another in which his character did not appear, in attempts to avoid violating the FCC's equal-time rule. The other candidates in the race complained that Takei's distinctive and powerful voice alone, even without his image on television every week, created an unfair advantage.

Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley later appointed Takei to the board of directors of the Southern California Rapid Transit District, making him part of the team that initiated and planned the Los Angeles subway system. Takei was called away from the set of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1978 to cast the tie-breaking vote for the creation of the Los Angeles subway system. He served on the board from 1973 to 1984.[22]

I'm kind of surprised to see the different reactions to the proposed military cuts. You have some people who think this is Obama disarming the US military so his personal army of communazis can take over ( :tinfoil:

) but you have others genuinely supporting this as a good move.

Seriously, how is this 2005 Freeper not zotted?

quote:

�America has been strong because our military was strong�

Ummmm, no. That is fascism defined.

We are strong because of our individual abilities and our collective ability to put those talents and resources to use if need be. We cannot, and never should, define our strength as our military. Our strength is ourselves and our resources.

We were �weak� by your standards prior to WWII but we were actually strong because we could assemble to fight and we did.

Anytime a nation defines herself by her military she is a fascist state.

Yes, Jesus Would Bake A Cake for a Gay Person

quote:

To: xzins

I disagree with his opening premise. Jesus would not just bake a cake for a gay person. Jesus would offer that person the bread of life IF AND ONLY IF that person repented of practicing homosexual behavior.

Reference the woman at the well. Jesus called her out on her adultery/fornication and showed her how to get eternal life. There is no salvation (cake) without repentence.

I agree that the baker should bake the stupid cake and SELL it to the homo couple.

But, don�t invoke Jesus in this. Jesus would bake them a cake and then say, �Go and sin no more.�

We aren�t allowed to even tell men who lie with other men as if they were women that they are sinners anymore.

If the homos refuse to hear the truth, then Jesus would also tell us to kick the dust off our shoes and get out of there!

The basic premise here is a false one. Had the baker simply been asked to bake a cake, I doubt they would have refused.
However, they were asked to make a wedding cake. In Christianity, marriage is a sacrament. Thus, the were asked to help make a mockery of a sacrament, thus committing sacrilege. And Jesus would not take part in sacrilege.

Equating salvation with a piece of cake is at the heart of the logical fallacy in your argument. Jesus fed loaves and fishes to a mass of people, some of whom were surely unsaved. I agree with the author, he would give them cake, just not gay �wedding� cake.

To: xzins
The problem isn't so much the sinner, as we all sin and are required to repent. The problem is explained in Lev. 18: 22. If we, as a nation recognize sodomy as legal, in our country, then we defile the land God gave us and the LAND will vomit it's people out. There has always been sin, and more especially, sodomy, but sexual sin such as sodomy and bestiality cannot be condoned. The sexual sins have different effects added other than just as a sin against God. Adultery and fornication are said to be sins against your own flesh. A sin such as stealing or lying is said to be sins against God.

God not only destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He destroyed their lands also. Even plants and animals do not live there today. What we are doing today endangers everyone, not just the sinner involved.

Romans 1:32 explains, after listing a pretty complete listing of sins, if you condone these certain activities, you are just as guilty as the sinner performing the sins. If you condone abortion, which is murder, and sodomy, you are a participant in said sin, according to God. Why wouldn't he destroy you and your neighbors if He judges THE LAND as guilty. It involves more than just a sinner repenting for stealing or lying. A homosexual can repent for his sin, but the land also MUST repent, or be judged.
