Haha that reminds me, have you seen the way Texans have absolutely convinced themselves that everyone is leaving California and moving to Texas? It's like a weird mass delusion that has taken over that entire state.

I got into a boredom induced debate with some idiot on Twitter who was convinced California was hemorrhaging all its population, this might explain where it came from.

The drought doesn't really affect the average person's lifestyle. And it's not like Austin is cheap at all, especially if you want to live somewhere where you won't have a long commute to work and stuff to do. A lot of the companies moving to the Austin area are just doing that because they can pay a decent grip less and still get employees for a while, and some people have to move for that.

Incidentally most of the people who move to Austin and the county it's in recently? They're just from elsewhere in Texas, about 55% of them in fact. California is the next most common origin point, but California is also the largest state, so it tends to dominate state-origin stats for nearly everywhere - California is the most common state for new residents of New York City to come from after residents from the rest of New York.

Yeah, most of the Bay Area people I knew over the last 15 years that transferred to Austin weren't from California to begin with and just wanted a larger house AND modest $85k-$100k tech job. Plus they were almost all about to have kids/had small kids. They basically wanted the same lifestyle which would have taken a $300k+ salary or stock option lottery winnings/east coast trustafarian money to afford somewhere like Mountain View.

From ‘Fake’ Obama Birth Certificate Was ‘Inside Job’ posted by freeper HomerBohn

tl;dr: conservatives misunderstand how photocopiers work and come to unsurprising conclusions

It starts off surprisingly sane, for freep.

quote:

To: XEHRpa
“The very fact that the image is “curled” on the left hand side, while the green background watermark is not curled is defacto proof of a manipulated image.”

Why? The watermark is on the paper that the image is copied onto, and shouldn’t be curled. The birth certificate is (supposedly) photocopied from an official record book, which would be curled because of the binding.

Maybe because a Muslim shadow government was set up with the assistance of several Muslim Brotherhood terrorist support elements under the nose of of the American people. I'm pretty sure the Muslim infiltration is very deep; probably much deeper than we are aware.

Theory?

How many experts have to tell you that the document is forged?

Will this be a "theory" until Jake Tapper of CNN tells you on the air that CNN is convinced the document is forged? Are you waiting for CBS (SEE BS), ABC, NBC, MSNBC, ..... to all tell you simultaneously that Hussein Obama's BC is forged?

It's not theory, anyone with an IQ even approaching room temperature should at least suspect that Hussein Obama has no legitimate BC and this document was forged. Those of us with higher IQ's are pretty sure this is proof Hussein Obama is a scam and that sealing his school records along with the forged BC takes this to the level of jail time for Obama and probably officials in Hawaii for assisting in producing this forgery.

It's NOT consiracy theory, it is conspiracy fact. Most likely to the point of over 99% probability of being true.

I do agree that he is innocent until proven guilty but it looks like time for a trail, an easy conviction and then put Hussein Obama in prison for a long, long time.

That curl is especially strange, isn’t it? It appears somebody used an Xacto knife to carefully cut along the left side and partially along the top, then precisely cause the paper to curl uniformly down, the curl precisely ending at the ends of the top and bottom horizontal cuts. Then the background visible behind the top cut is pitch black — there is no background document or,paper beneath the BC. All those features had to be computer fabricated — nothing in nature looks like that. On the face of it, the curl just screams “fake.”

I think the CIA put Obummer in place as President and attempted to give him a legitimate background by tidying up records like school records, birth records, passport records. Remember Brenner(sp) was the contractor working in an area with access to passport records, and one of the records tampered with was Obummers and the other was Hillarys to make it look more random. And then one of his workers was found in his car with a bullet in his brain (to keep him quiet?). Now Brenner(sp?) is the convert to Islam heading up the CIA. If you saw all this in a movie, you’d think the plot was too far fetched to be believable.

On the certificate, father’s race is listed as “African”
1. “African” is not a race. Lots of people born in Africa are white, Indian, Oriental etc.
2. If they HAD been smart enough not to list race as African - they would probably have put “black” - which would also have been wrong.
In 1961, race would have been entered ‘negro’ ...

soooooo, Joe - find another Hawaiian BC from 1961 that lists race as either “African or Black”

From Why Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Might Actually Stand Up for LGBT Rights posted by freeper Salman

It's an article from the Daily Beast. It quotes parts of Tillerson's support of permitting gay members of the Boy Scouts, as president of the BSA. The excerpt stops right before these paragraphs, which are perhaps more interesting.

the article posted:

On the other hand, Tillerson’s LGBT record at ExxonMobil is poor. True, the company has recently improved its score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (PDF), from 40 in the 2016 guide to 85 in the 2017 guide—but a closer look reveals that the change is illusory.

For years, Exxon was a holdout, its shareholders rejecting non-discrimination protections for LGBT employees 17 times. When Exxon merged with Mobil in 1999, former Mobil employees actually lost the same-sex domestic partnership benefits they had enjoyed for years. In 2012 and 2013, the Human Rights Campaign actually gave Exxon a negative-25 score on the index. An in-depth investigation in 2013 by the LGBT magazine The Advocate revealed a corporate culture dominated by conservatism and machismo.

ExxonMobil’s policy changed in 2015, but only because President Obama signed an executive order requiring government contractors—ExxonMobil being among the largest—to adopt such protections. The company had no choice but to comply, and so its score jumped.

Trump, incidentally, is widely expected to overturn that order on his first day in office.

The whole point of a shadow government is that it's pulling the strings but isn't the actual government. That way they never take the blame, just running poo poo behind the scenes. Important, powerful people would know who they are and would follow orders (often under threat of "...or else") which would then trickle down the ranks. Private Rifle McShooteyman probably has no idea it exists but when Major Brassy Brass McBrasseronson says "do what the man in the suit says" you listen. The conspiracy of a shadow government also would have super secret special forces types of dudes who are in the military but are classified to hell and back.

They don't have their hands on the levers but they have levers on the people whose hands are there.

In the real world that doesn't actually make a ton of sense because it's pretty unlikely a tiny handful of old, white dudes in black suits could have that much control over the entire world but it makes for a good story. It would, in reality, involve a ton of 11-th dimensional chess and prescience. Best we have that comes close is a bunch of lovely rich people who just throw money at the government in return for more money coming back at them.

From How Trump’s win changed my Deep South college experience posted by freeper 2ndDivisionVet

the article posted:

My first election made me question whether I actually have a voice in this country. To be in a red state as a minority student means my dignity felt stripped away. The fact that American voters supported Trump’s hate speech made feel threatened; some of his rhetoric was directed against my black skin. My identity feels more expendable to America now, as if my ancestors had not helped build this country. So I’ve been finding ways to make my identity an integral part of my academic journey, whether that’s by writing an English essay on race or picking up an African American Studies course for the spring semester.

To be a black student on a liberal campus in a red state means I am living a life of cognitive dissonance. My campus, where I feel loved and wanted, is situated in a state where many people have been taught to hate those who look like me. And even some kinds of conservatism, previously rare in my Emory bubble, have seeped onto campus. While I acknowledge the conservative and racist factions in my country, I do not accept them. I am so grateful for the opportunity to study at my school but I cannot turn a blind eye to to world at large. I must defend my beliefs and my rights even more now because the election results ultimately made me more of a minority.

As an African American woman, I have always experienced a certain type of alienation, but after the election, that feeling has expanded. To function on a daily basis, I feel my mentality slipping into one that would be appropriate for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. It is a confusing difference to navigate and one that is more and more apparent every day since November 9. Ultimately, to be a black woman at Emory in the middle of a red state means I am becoming a new type of Freedom Fighter.

Before we get to the horrible things freep has to say, I want you to go back and re-read those three paragraphs, replacing the experience of a liberal northern black woman in the deep south to a conservative southern white "Christian" man in, say, San Francisco. How many of us would dismiss what they'd write just because of who they are and where they are, and what we want society to be.

Let's be better than freep.

OK, I'll say it: I do not respect her skin color, but not in the way she thinks. I do not respect it because I serve a God who is no respecter of persons. I do not respect it because MLK told me that his dream was that his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I do not respect it because Sydney Poitier acted a role where he chided his father for thinking of himself as "a colored man," when he should have been thinking of himself as a man.

I did not vote for Trump because he is white. I would have voted for Allen West, and not because he is black. I am not a respecter of skin color. I am a respecter of competence and an understanding of the place of the United States in the world, and Hillary Clinton had neither, while Donald Trump had both, and that is why I voted for him.

I woke up on November 9 to multiple texts from my friends, telling me to be safe. They had came to the same realization I had: I am a black college student in a part of the country where a a lot of people had just made it very clear that they do not respect my skin color.

There's nothing like a blatant falsehood to keep the irrational hysteria flowing.

The idiotic lies repeated in pieces such as this one are so ludicrous, so unfounded in reality, that it's almost impossible to even carry on a coherent discussion about what really happened on November 8.

What happened certainly bears no resemblance to the unhinged projection which has been emanating from the race-baiting Left.

Eventually, even the most ignorant and dense Social Justice Warriors are going to realize that they've been lied to— not by Trump supporters, but by their "overseers" on the Left. The trepidation being shown by the rank-and-file on the Left is, quite simply, utterly misguided and not congruent with objective reality.

So these sheep are going to eventually have to come to the realization that their presumptions were totally incorrect, and realizing that fact is the first step towards more enlightened thought, and towards resolving the "problems" that, for the most part, are a figment of their hateful imaginations.

This process will be a laboriously slow one, but if President Trump stays true to the spirit of those who have elected him, those who didn't will inevitably realize that they were wrong, and, worse, that they've been being manipulated and used by a bunch of malicious, race-baiting demagogues who worship the false god of identity politics.


The vast majority of Americans are almost entirely post-racial in their thinking, and the sooner the spoiled adults who are still thinking like children awaken to that fact, the sooner we can all continue forming "a more perfect union" together.

So to butthurt Hillary lemmings I say:

Well, since the words "I" or "me" appeared no fewer than ten times in the first paragraph you sort of knew where this was going without reading any of the verbs. I have some bad news for the author. I don't give a crap in hell about her personal identity. She's an American and proud of it or she's not. And she's not.

One can nurture a sense of alienation indefinitely if it makes one feel special, and that's exactly what's going on here, a perpetual child in a perpetual pout. There will never be "justice" as she defines it because it would ruin everything for her. And I don't care to be a perpetual punching bag for her carefully contrived sense of resentment and entitlement.

As to her skin color and being afraid ... she is in Atlanta fer cryin out loud. Try walking-while-white in many, many areas of that city.

I wonder if she identifies with those mall creatures who rioted on Christmas Eve.

The sad part is that this young woman believes this rot. She has been told all of her life that she is regarded as less than human due to her skin color. She has no idea that people don’t give a rat’s patootie about her skin color, but what she chooses to do with her life that will earn her respect. Unfortunately, she is choosing the wrong path, wearing her skin color on her shoulder expecting the world to knock it to the ground.

Get back to the books, honey. Work hard and succeed. Avoid the numbskulls that had rather spend their time whining and rabble-rousing than studying and working hard. Stop rubbing your skin color in every person’s face you meet and you might just be surprised at what you can accomplish.

Safety was on their minds.

Oh puhleeze. This little snowflake is safer among White Trump supporters than she is in many Black parts of the Atlanta area, and if she doesn’t believe that, she needs to pay more attention to the local news about what’s really going on in the world around her just outside her safe space campus.

This SJW Big Lie meme about Trump supporters being a danger to the safety of minorities is complete hogwash, and the growing number of documented fake “Trump supporter” hate crimes is testament to this fact.

What is really shameful are those that have convinced her that this is reality. The media, liberal professors and this President have made a generation of young black people believe they’re such victims of “conservative and racist” Americans.

Here she is, a black woman at university, clothes on her back, food in her stomach, roof over her head and the only thing stopping her career is how much she studies and stays childless out of wedlock. In a historical context she has no idea how privileged she is. Considering historical difficulties, including war, famine, slavery, etc. - she should feel as though this is a great time to be alive. Yet she doesn’t, she believes this is a terrible time.

Not unbelievable but a shame.

Before we get to the horrible things freep has to say, I want you to go back and re-read those three paragraphs, replacing the experience of a liberal northern black woman in the deep south to a conservative southern white "Christian" man in, say, San Francisco. How many of us would dismiss what they'd write just because of who they are and where they are, and what we want society to be.

Let's be better than freep.



I'm pretty sure he'd have a lot less to fear. Last I checked Hillary didn't have well known groups of racists backing her or people that felt women shouldn't have a choice when it comes to abortion, or people shouldn't have easy access to healthcare or want to go kick every other nation's rear end based on religion, resources, or because they said something mean.
People that backed the democratic party have a lot more to fear from this election than a conservative could if it were reversed.

I do find the shifting ideological currents on freep interesting in regards to this. The mainline freep opinion has mostly been racism is bad, conservatives are good. Therefore conservatives cannot be racist. Liberals are bad, so therefore liberals must be racist. That racism is bad somehow even penetrated the thick skulls of these people.

But for some years now I've noticed a growing number of freepers that simply dispense with the above half-cooked defensive bullshit and state quite clearly, Yeah I hate black people, so what?

Tommy Sotomayor is a most interesting “black dude,” worth anyone’s time to watch.

I’ve watched him over the last few years as he inexorably becomes more and more conservative. He’s smart, and funny, and isn’t afraid to laugh at himself.

He’s also a keen and honest observer of A-A culture in the United States, and it seems to sicken him as much as it sickens me. He had a difficult childhood, and has had some very unpleasant experiences as an adult. These have made him passionate about the pathologies of female-centered black family life, and he’s not afraid to talk about it with brutal honesty. Much of what he says is not for children, NSFW, may be disturbing to some viewers, etc., etc.

I'm not much of a follower of the Hollywood celebrity gossip scene, but given Ms. Fisher's accomplishments in that world and the fact that she died at 60 from a massive myocardial infarction, I'm making an educated guess that the primary underlying cause of this was long-term heavy cigarette smoking, rather than LSD and cocaine. The hard drugs scenario over any long amount of time would probably be incompatable with such a lengthy and productive career, a career requiring a good functional brain.

I see that the MSM is making her a poster girl for women's heart disease without ever mentioning her smoking history, which should be the important medical issue here.

We all know about smoking and lung cancer. But the MSM aren’t too quick to bring up the connection between smoking and coronary artery disease, and, in some instances, sudden cardiac death. This is especially true when it concerns left-leaning celebrities, especially left-leaning female celebrities. Women who continue smoking beyond menopause are at particularly high risk.

[justiceseeker93:] given Ms. Fisher's accomplishments in that world and the fact that she died at 60 from a massive myocardial infarction, I'm making an educated guess that the primary underlying cause of this was long-term heavy cigarette smoking, rather than LSD and cocaine. The hard drugs scenario over any long amount of time would probably be incompatable with such a lengthy and productive career, a career requiring a good functional brain.
[Nifster:] She had been sober for many years.


Yup; dumb arguments like she-used-to-use-illegal-drugs-now-she's-dead-so-illegal-drugs-killed-her is par for the Drug Warrior course.

If they told me she had died of liver cancer I could buy the argument. I’ve had friends that had their livers go on them after decades of sobriety.

Heart failure not so much

Airplane ride and yes decades of smoking may have been contributory. But then again we don’t know

This was pretty lol inducing

"To be a white conservative student on a conservative campus in a blue state means I am living a life of cognitive dissonance. My campus, where I feel loved and wanted, is situated in a state where many people have been taught to tolerate those who think like me."

Yeah, poor white bread would get tolerated to death, those damned liberals

Might as well just place him in Canada where he'll really be hated
"I'm sorry sir. You'll have to write your hate message in English and French....eh"

It's an interesting lack of perspective to acquaint "Being told that I can't call gay people fags and beat them up any more" with "Being called a fag and beaten up."

Jesus Christ, what a nice dude, what an honor and blessing it would be to work for this paragon of industry.

Y'know, I just read this one and... hung on it for a while. I know Freep ain't exactly the image of human compassion, but...

It's just pure power fantasy. To demand that much of someone else with incredibly lessened expectations of giving anything in return. This "paragon of industry" is, in truth, anything but industrious. It captures their own greediness against their own laziness. One where they enjoy the benefits of being at the top of hierarchy while doing absolutely nothing to maintain the hierarchy’s health or mutual benefit. They deny there could be any mutual benefit. They would create a situation that is only good for them while being absolute hell for everyone beneath them. They yearn to be the tyrant, and they would happily tell you that.

But in that way, they kind of reveal the point of it all. Throughout all of this is the underlying assumption that even through everything, no matter how educated you may be, no matter the needs that motivate you, not only is all of that irrelevant to them but they don't even want to give us the jobs anyway. To even try with them would be a pointless exercise, and they would happily tell you that.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

This isn't just Free Republic, this is like 90% of online conservatives. From my few incursion into /pol/, I've seen the same mindset. They go on and on about how they're all rich and immune from classicism dialogue and can survive any fallout from racist policies somehow hitting them. The reality? Probably all 15 year olds still in high school who want to be edgy or depressed middle aged people who want to play to delusions of grandeur due to feelings of inadequacy.

It really is just amazing how happily they'd gouge out their nose and both eyeballs to spite the UN.

I don't think Trump or his voters get the UN is rigged to give America power over the rest of the western world.

I do find the shifting ideological currents on freep interesting in regards to this. The mainline freep opinion has mostly been racism is bad, conservatives are good. Therefore conservatives cannot be racist. Liberals are bad, so therefore liberals must be racist. That racism is bad somehow even penetrated the thick skulls of these people.

But for some years now I've noticed a growing number of freepers that simply dispense with the above half-cooked defensive bullshit and state quite clearly, Yeah I hate black people, so what?

Essentially they assume that "racism" means hating every single person of that race unconditionally and advocating for literal genocide. You pretty much have to be Hitler to be a racist. Racism is also based on false information and bullshit. In their minds if you say "black people are inherently inferior" it isn't racism because they have proof that black people are, in fact, inferior.

Ignoring that that kind of logic is what led to black people being slaves and then second-class citizens in the first place. This is also why they consider stuff like affirmative action and helping poor black folks get out of being poor is reverse racism. They believe that if blacks wanted out that badly they'd get themselves out. If they don't they either didn't want it or couldn't do it so gently caress 'em. Then they enact policies that put barriers up, cheer on racial profiling, and disenfranchisement while saying "they should just work harder."

Well no poo poo you rigged the game against them. They have to work harder than you to get anywhere and it's your god damned fault.

Trump and his followers don't realize a lot of things. They were told at some point that x is bad and that's all the proof they need

Desperately trying to equivocate a black woman in the deep south with a white guy in San Fran is the funniest part about this post.

Yes, it's false equivalence, I'll fully admit to that and just say that drunk freep posting might not be the best use of my time.

I have a friend that used to be like this. He inherited a small business from his parents and suddenly he was very into the fart-huffing JOB CREATOR Libertarian mindset. After he hurt his back and couldn't perform the duties of that job anymore, he sold it off and slowly came to the realization that not everyone can do every job and even motivated and skilled people can get completely floored by random, uncontrollable events.

He's an actually tolerable and nice human being now.
