There's a significant portion of fundamentalists who basically only tolerate Jews because they are, as I've heard it, 'bait for the Jesus trap'. Because the Second Coming as described in Revelations requires the presence of Jews in Israel, Jews must be okay, and must be aided against the Palestinians.

Which just sounds to me like they're going for an absurdly specific win condition in a card game. Like they're not even going for Exodia, they're going for one of those weirdo win conditions nobody's even angled for as a joke.

There's a great line in "Don't mess with the zohan" where a Palestinian American sees white Americans being racist to a tanned skin Israeli American.

Especially since the majority of blacks (not all, but most), use that same expression with each other. Double standards suck. I'm a white female. I don't use that term, and when I worked in Corrections, and black inmates would call each other that in my presence, I'd tell them not to say it in front of me. I can remember when the standard and accepted term for blacks, was "colored." Then in the late 60's and early 70's, the accepted term was African-American. I said "colored person" one time to a young college student who was interning at the Dept. of Social Services where I was working back then, and she snidely said "Oh, what color were they?" The accepted terms for blacks have changed repeatedly over the years: Colored, African-American, black, person of color, etc. I wish they'd find one, and stick with it.

In my experience, too many black people in service positions are filled with resentment for having to work.

Some are filled with animosity towards white people, who they have been taught to hate.

This appears to be more common of black women than black men.

They do not provide the usual pleasant interchange with customers that is required in service jobs.

They will needlessly annoy people and provoke them.

I’m sure some of them have never been taught good manners — but that is no excuse.

It is still required in dealing with the public.

It makes everything more pleasant for both parties to a conversation and transaction.

For the customer, a nasty service encounter violates all the rules of civilization.

People are supposed to try to be nice, even more so in a commercial setting.

In the current Black Lives Matter anti-white hysteria being propagated by the Left and the media, expect more of this.

Of course the poster of the opus hangs around in his or her death throes for days replying to the opus thread, provoking the usual "so GO already" responses. And most opus posters are thought to still be on FR posting under new nicks anyway. Most opuses are written in the following form -- "So-and-so called me a name and I've had it with Free Republic". This is where a FReeper, in a pique of rage, goes on a rant about how FR has changed since they first came onboard, and the flame wars are out of hand, yada, yada, yada. They must announce it to everybody that they are leaving, and aren't coming back. One FReeper, who is a bigtime pol in (deleted), does this every 6 months or so.

1. If your post mentions Ann Coulter, you must post a pic of her.
2. Female equivalent to the Ann Coulter rule. The Bibi (Netanyahu) and Bill Sammon's rule. Followed by the word THUD in bold. "Thud" refers to the sound made by Freepettes when they hit the floor after swooning over various males of the species.
3. Maureen Dowd (MoDo) is accompanied by Catherine Zeta Jones (because actor Michael Douglas dumped her for Zeta Jones).
4. Posting of Catherine Zeta Jones are usually followed by a post of a Maureen Dowd pic
5. If your post mentions Michael Douglas, you must post a pic of Catherine Zeta Jones.
6. If your post mentions Ann Coulter, you must post a pic of her.
7. Helen Thomas - Whenever any of Rules #1 - #7 are invoked, it will sooner or later become obligatory to post a pic of Helen Thomas. I think this was instituted as the FR equivalent of spiking the thread with saltpeter...
8. If Helen Thomas is mentioned, a picture will be posted. Groans usually follow. See also Helen Thomas in Freeper Pictures/Images.
Unconfirmed polls indicate that rule 7 (followed by rule 8) is the most hated rule by male Freepers. (thanks NonLinear and dinasour)

NWO - New World Order. A phrase that originated with George Bush the elder. It is generally not regarded as a good thing, because it is considered to smack of world government and subjugation of American interests and independence. In NWO discussions you will often find co-references to the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers and others, all shadow organizations said to be secretly working to implement one world government -- and a socialist/communist one to boot. On such threads you will also find references to:
OIC -- Office of the Independent Counsel. (The office which Ken Starr held during the Whitewater investigation.)
POTUS=President of the United States. TRIPOTUS - Treasonous, Rapist, Impeached President Of The United States. DIRTPOTUS - Disbarred, Impeached, Rapist, Treasonous, President Of The United States. DISTRIMPOTUS=The (soon to be) disbarred Raping Impeached POTUS. FLOTUS=First Lady.

its because they KNOW if they say it(least in a vaguely public place) then they are the baddies. they like the veneer of defensibility. also i assume freep has some rule against saying it even if its not enforced.
yeah it's all about plausible deniability. they aren't racist so when they say blacks are genetically inferior to whites they're just being factual, name one racist thing they ever said :smuggo:

Their Clinton hatred is legendary. They hate the Clintons more than they hate Obama, and they really hate Obama. They hate them more than they hate Biden, and unlike Clinton, Biden defeated a sitting Republican president they actually liked. Not just liked, loved.
