It is time. My opus
Self | 1-28-2013 | melas

Posted on 01/28/2013 8:10:56 PM PST by Melas

While the title says it all, I thought a goodbye was in order.

While I've been a FReeper for well over a decade, I must declare that it is time to part ways. While I have the greatest respect for a great many of you, the days where I can in good conscience remain silent about the issues that set me apart from the rest of FReeperdom have past. For clarity, or perhaps catharsis, I'm not entirely certain which, I'll lay them out on the table an call the ZOT™ down upon myself.

The racism: I just can't handle it anymore. FR has become increasingly racist since President Obama took office, and enforcement has dropped. Now, not a single crime can be reported with an "amish" comment, and I've yet to see a post express embarrassment or shame when lo and behold sometimes the perpetrators turned out to be lily white.

Homosexuality: FR is on the wrong side of history on this one, and I'll just leave it at that.

Mostly though, it's the hate. More and more posts reference violent solutions to political disagreements. Some subtly couched, others make no pretense. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I read in the morning paper that a FReeper murdered a federal bureaucrat or a federal judge.

I've learned so much, from so many of you, and for that I'm grateful. I genuinely and truly wish all of you well, and sincerely hope you all live out the rest of your lives in happiness.

Melas

I don’t recall Melas supporting either abortion or pederasty.

“Now it’s pretty much an echo chamber of religious fanatics and angry reactionists. I don’t post much either anymore.”

Hmm, Liberals use those words to describe a Christian and a believer in the constitution and our God given rights. Maybe it’s a good thing you “don’t post much either anymore.”

Say Melas, could you rewrite your post — this time as a conservative, if you can?

I have enjoyed your posts over the years. I understand and respect you and your opus. Best of luck.

I expect you will always be welcome to return to FR.

I could spend two hours typing how President Obama at least appears to be quite the racist and a jerk himself and posting about it isn't being racist.

yes, you could... i would agree with you! :)

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Moderates, compromisers, bi-partisans are no Conservatives. The US is financially broke due to liberal economic policies aka Socialism. The US is morally broke due to liberal social policies aka Fascism. Protected class rhetoric and class warfare are used to buy votes for more Socialism. History says that Socialism always fails, always. So why do you feel the need to compromise with Socialists who are doomed to assured failure. The Democratic party is a fascist criminal enterprise designed to take your life, liberty, and persuit of happiness. The party of DEATH. There is a wrong side of history but FR is on the right side.

Hate? Really? Go spend some time at DU. None of us are happy with the systematic destruction of the constitution or the American way of life and what you call "hate" is frustration and anger at that. There is a facebook page with over 3000 "followers" cheering for the assassination of Sarah Palin. You see anything like that here? What did Sarah Palin ever do to deserve that? Did she pass any legislation to destroy your rights? This is war Hoss. Sorry to see you bail out on the side of truth and freedom.

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, “Peace! Peace!” — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” ― Patrick Henry

Apparently you haven't learned as much as you thought you had.

Wrotsa wruck in yer search for knowledge that matches your beliefs. I'm sure some one somewhere will sucker you in with sweet words that you so desperately want to be truth.

What a crock. And racism? Let me guess, you define it as disagreeing with the marxist in the White House. Since he's half black wouldn't that make me a half-racist? Seriously, you sound like a kindergarten kid that got picked last for a team.

OK. Why is it that graciousness in the face of agreement escapes you? Pointing out my grammatical error make you a bigger peson? My only regret now is having thought of you as a serious human being. I will not make that mistake again.

And in 1775 you would have walked out of the pub and moved to Canada. The greivances listed in the Declaration of Independence are minor compared to our tyrants today.

But I'm sure you agree I shouldn't be able to buy a 100 watt incandescent light bulb.

I’m relatively new here. I don’t post that often, but I constantly read different threads throughout the day.

All three of your assertions are false.

First, while I’ve seen the term Amish used to refer to inner-city thugs, I was never really alarmed by its use. At the end of the day, white males are the one demographic now targeted by all other demographics. This latest election is just further proof of that. Every single minority demographic (blacks, Hispanics, Asians, homosexuals, Muslims, single women, etc) all joined together to vote for a man who wants to undermine the Constitution. Most of these groups have conflicting belief systems (ie Muslims and homosexuals), yet they vote together in their desire to hamper white males.

As for your second point, you clearly aren’t conservative. History won’t be on our side? Why do people like you act like homosexuality is some new phenomenon? Homosexuality has existed since the beginning of time. It was wrong back then, and it’s wrong now. Even if you don’t believe in God, homosexuality is against the laws of nature. Two males will never produce a child. And please don’t point to homosexuality in nature as a rebuttal. Number one, you will be using animals, without morals or a conscience, to justify your position. Number two, if two animals do engage in pure homosexuality, they will never spread their seed, their lineage will come to an end, and by default, they will be considered Darwinian failures. You honestly can’t call yourself a conservative, while calling for an acceptance of homosexuality. They are pushing their agenda on 5 year olds now, but to you, a pathetic excuse of a conservative, that’s acceptable.

To your last point, I haven’t seen anyone advocate violence on this site. However, when discussing the potential of gun confiscation, posters have brought up their intention to resist.

No one on this site wants violence. We all have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc. We hold strong to our conservative beliefs because we want our loved ones to grow up in the same country of our fore fathers. We believe that our country is the greatest in the world, and we’re proud of our heritage and our ancestors. We believe in the Constitution, we believe in unalienable rights, and we believe in a God who bequeathed these rights unto us. There are progressives who wish to undermine these rights.... If the day ever comes, when our backs are pushed against the wall to the breaking point.... Do you expect us to cower in the corner with you? Or do you expect us to stand up for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

There’s also the extra layer that conservatives don’t blame black violence on black genes or inherent blackness. Not any ones I’ve ever talked to, anyway. We blame government, mostly—the War on Drugs or the Welfare State and affirmative racial politics, depending on how libertarian you are—and the general decline of civilization.
