In 5th grade, some kid would run around the playground calling other people "furps". When someone finally asked him what a furp was, he said it was someone who farted in the bathtub and then ate the bubbles.

So Sam Adams and Heineken aren't sponsoring the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC this year, because it won't allow any gay groups to march. Freep is having emotions about this! Seriously there are like five big threads about it, what the hell.
None of it is too quote-able, though, most of it is just your standard Freep reactions to anything related to gayness: you have your "urgh just get back in the closet and stop shoving it down our throats" responses, the "our nation is going down the tubes and we must repent and turn to Jesus like Russia" crowd, and of course, the "heh heh turd burgling pole-smokers" posts are endless.

Completely true fact: Gay people cannot metabolize beer. However, they do require at least three fruit-flavored mixed drinks with punning sexual innuendos for names (or one bottle of wine that costs >$50) per day, lest they shrivel and collapse into dust in the light of the sun.

Stuff like this really sets off because it punctures their bubble and the assumption that only a tiny fringe of coastal lib-tard elitist fag lovers actually supports gay rights. Polls showing strong support for marriage equality or anti-discrimination laws can be waved away as the work of the lie-beral media conspiracy, the problem of national corporations deciding that public opinion is on the side of equality is harder for them to rationalize away.

A bunch of them in the threads are still holding onto the "JCPenney is going to go bankrupt because they hired Ellen Degeneres, and the Real American People are boycotting until they stop shoving her homosexuality down our throats" myth. Seriously, any time there's any news in the corporate world concerning LGBT rights, threads fill up with "Oh yeah, because it worked so well for JCPenney "
Meanwhile, in the real world, Ellen Degeneres is rather popular with America at large, and JCPenney is struggling because of idiotic business decisions, such as never having sales anymore. I may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, but the fact that they truly believe that middle America is with them in viewing Degeneres as some horrible, disgusting sodomite makes my head spin. It's one of the biggest examples of just how out of touch they are with the demographics of their own country, of which they claim to be true representatives.

Yeah, that's the essential core Freeper delusion - that they represent the vast majority of Americans that are out there, and any moment now this veritable army of Real Americans will awaken to what's really going on and rise up. They think national and electoral demographics froze sometime in 1953, which is why they get so excited every time there's a public kerfluffel of some kind (remember when they all stood in line at Chic-Fil-A that one day, and it was supposed to spark a Second American Revolution?) and why they believe that every time they lose it's because the outcome was rigged/stolen (ACORN, Chicago thug tactics, media flooded the airwaves with fake polls, etc.) or the candidate/GOP wasn't conservative enough and that vast army of conservative heartland voters stayed home (because RINOs).

As I recall didn't Putin's crony in Ukraine call Diamond Joe shortly before fleeing back to Russia? He's got a lot of experience in foreign policy, it's probably actually the right call to send him.

Amazing: Darwin is suddenly an authority when you think you can twist his work to suit support your viewpoint. A quick run through the CIA Fact Book, PRB, and a few other web sources gives broad ranges of...
"Black": ~15%
"White": ~16%
South Asian + East Asian + Southeast Asian: ~55%
Asian is probably skewed by the blanket application of the term, but no matter how you look at it, whitey is not a majority on this planet.
Also, who the gently caress still says "the natural order?" I can't imagine trying to drag that out as an argument unless I was going for gold in the Irony Olympics. No matter how often they show it, I still find myself being shocked by how fantastically ignorant the Freepers can be. The ignorance is so broad, and so complete, without even the perspective to see where the the gaps exist in their knowledge, that it's tragic on a Shakespearean level.

What does "K.E. N.P. N.C. +12 " mean?

As I approach 71, I have come to realize that I am wise. Free Republic provides the opportunity to share the wisdom to those still wisdom challenged.
Often Wrong but Seldom in Doubt school of economics and investing (the Latin for which, I am told, is "Saepe mendosus, nunquam dubius.")
A major problem with growing old is that at least half and perhaps three quarters of what you know is obsolete and no longer matters.
The graphic is a holdover from the old days when there was a Free Republic Network and several issue related chapters. CCRM was the "Media Chapter" We worked mightily to make folks aware of bias in the mainstream media. Our website fairpress.org is pretty much all that remains of that effort except the universal acceptance of the thought that the MSM can't be trusted and is a propaganda tool of the DNC. The CCRM legacy is a strong antimedia sentiment on Free Republic.
The horseman is Don Quixote de la Mancha........ He is like most of us and me in particular, a conservative. Don Quixote was irritated by the change he perceived as harmful to society. He hated the loss of chivalry. He didn't sit idly by however, he acted. He strapped on his barber basin helmet and buckler, saddled up his horse, gave commands to his squire Sancho Panza and proceeded to go right the world. One of his most famous skirmishes was a tilt with a windmill. I have enjoyed immensely tilting at the White House and elsewhere in Washington in the company of the DC Chapter.
I didn't identify with the good knight until reading about the Grail legends. I learned that the second book of Don Quixote's adventures contains a Spanish version of the Grail legend. I was able to finally read it all through and realized that I and the others in the media chapter and FRee Republic for that matter, have much in common with the Knight Errant.
I designated my self the title.....Knight Errant or for the tagline K.E.
An engineer by training, I also am a scientist by avocation. I work on long projects and studies. I was for 25 years a bee keeper and carefully followed the goings on in several colonies or societies of colonial insects. I worked in the field for 10 years finding, identifying ,and cataloging the 256 species of wild Flowers in Warrior's Path state Park.
My great unpublished work involves Wooly Worms. I have carefully studied the banded caterpillars and have collected hundreds for close observation. The purpose of the 15 year study is to determine if there is a relation between the color variation ant he winter weather.
My other ongoing project is the restoration of the All American Chestnut tree to America's forests. I am a member in good standing of the American Chestnut Cooperators Foundation and oversee the growth and maintenance of numerous new chestnut trees in my local area.
A description of our work is available here: http://ipm.ppws.vt.edu/griffin/accf.html
I liken my scientific studies to those of the 18th century Natural Philosophers. I gave my self the title of Natural Philosopher and the tag line N.P.
I took the title Neo Confederate N.C.after viewing this video.

I took the title D.E after the term was coined by the Looter at TSA.

Haha, occasionally the Freeper thread actually makes me happy. This is one of those times. A bizarre, ancient nerd who quotes Barry Goldwater, holy poo poo.
