Because I don’t think these loyal liberty-loving Freepers are quite as loyal and liberty-loving as they make themselves out to be. I think they have a personal investment in a very bad outcome for our country.
They have accepted the premise that America is doomed and that we might as well throw in the towel and hope for a disaster to cleanse America of its sins.
While I understand this impulse, I think it is extremely misguided and defeatist, and I think it is unbecoming of this forum. I don’t think it is at all conservative except in the most depressive and defeatist sense.
That said, it’s your forum and you set the tone. I will hereby bit my tongue and avoid these sort of threads.
bit = bite
They are liberty-loving people. And I’ll tell you what. If we don’t soon get a handle on the Marxist/Islamofascist wannabe dictator and his dull-witted Marxist/fascist thugs like Napolitano and Holder and they are successful in building his personal civilian army as he overturns our constitution, we are going to be in for one hell of a fight. They are determined to transform America into a totalitarian state and they are well on the way. Our congress seems powerless to stop him.
The stack of military awards, medals, and citations I've been awarded suggest otherwise. I didn't literally shed blood for this country to see it go down the crapper.

We just see the signs of the times and are keeping oil in our lamps. If you are seeing different signs so be it.
