Breaking...

[wizr]

Secret Service officer subdues a man who set fire to his possessions...
Is that a euphemism for "family jewels"?

'Tis the Season...."Chet's nuts roasting o'er an open fire..."

You signed on here today. You are overplaying your eager innocence. IMO, you're a troll.

And Jesus never said "love thy neighbor even if he is different from you and even if he has a hand grenade stuffed in his crotch."

Are you back again? Back on the "No Racism" on FR "trying to understand" routine are you. It didn't work well on the Cheney thread where you got banned either. Get a life troll.

I suppressed it until that post. ROFLOL.

As the mother of a burn survivor I feel a little ashamed at my laughter.

In the navy, fires are classified as:

Alpha: Any combustible, such as wood, clothing, etc.

Bravo: Fuel fire

Charlie: Electrical fire

Delta: Magnesium (aircraft brakes) fire

So when a person catches fire, such as this dude in front of the WH, he is called a "screaming alpha!"

wizr, they'll be bringing him up on charges of openly burning trash without proper permits.

[azhenfud]

Knew-un's always catch it. If you survive, good. If not - a ZOT.

[MonaMars]

Lol. One of my favorite flicks.

How so?

"I just wanna find out what conservatives are like."

You seem very sincere, John. If you keep reading and posting here, you'll soon find out that conservatives generally have a good sense of humor and love to laugh. So when a thread like this is posted, people go for witty, quick one-liners designed to make people laugh.

Freepers aren't racist, and you'll find that out pretty quickly as well. If people post something out of line, there will soon at least one person to point that out to them and call in a moderator if it's bad enough.

American conservatives are generous with their thoughts and prayers towards their political "enemies"--when Bill Clinton had bypass surgery, nearly everyone posted wishes for his quick recovery. Same thing with Melissa Ethridge's breast cancer. Freepers might disagree with people's ideas but they don't wish them physical harm.

The original posts you complained of (one down, one billion to go) might *seem* racist. Perhaps it can better be termed "religionist."

Yes, post 9/11, many Freepers and conservatives have become suspicious of Islam. This is because the "religion of peace" keeps providing evidence that it is not peaceful, and yet gruesome beheadings and suicide bombings are met, generally, with silence from Muslim organizations. We keep hearing it's only the fringe that is violent, but the silence is defeaning.

Ok, I'm new to this website

Then I guess you missed the thread when Rachel Corrie, aka Saint Pancake, got squshed by the Israeli bulldozer. That thread was really flat.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but I sure don't see evidence that he received burns covering 30% of his body. His hair and beard seem to be present and I don't see any burnt clothes.

Very informative...I tried not to laugh.

If you want to find out what conservatives are about, perhaps you should read threads instead of posting. Then I suggest you take a trip across the Channel and hop a train down to Ramstein. I'm sure there are a few wounded soldiers who would love to fill you in on the beauties of conservatism.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Did security have weiners and marshmallows ready?

[IStillBelieve]

Wow.

[Dionysius]

Where are the marshmallows?

[Bluegrass Federalist]

Here's a good one from DU: That's not happiness from the Freepers, "....That's the hellish discomfort of shrunken souls who know that absolutely nothing they believe in is worth dying for."

There are a lot of things I would die for. I cannot think of anything worth walking up to the White House and setting myself on fire to absolutley no effect other than earning the scorn and derision of the people inside. What a maroon.

I think the Dims passed a plank in their party platform that banned any type of humor.
