Just kidding. We'll be here when/if you decide to come back

Please forgive the vanity...
Over the years, I have really enjoyed participating in Free Republic discussions on a great variety of topics. Even when there was strong disagreement, Free Republic brought me a sense of connection with others that always seemed to have a purpose.
Unfortunately, I now see clearly that it is over for the US. The constitution has no meaning and we are essentially under mob rule. There is no party to turn to and all the politicians are in collusion to game the system. I think we have reached a stage where this is all going to unravel economically and socially much faster than most people think.
Everything being pushed that most of us are against will come to fruition, with no chance of stopping it. I also realize that there will be no pushback, or moment of "hell no", despite all the brave talk of those behind keyboards. All the big talkers will eventually give up their first and second amendment rights with hardly a whimper.
I am basically going to disconnect, discontinue following politics, and quit voting. I refuse to be Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football any longer. I will now concentrate strictly on my own preparations with my family for when this all goes belly up. Honestly, at this point I would rather it all just go ahead and collapse sooner rather than later.
For my own sanity, I just need to tune it all out from now on.
Almost there myself. I have had the tagline for years. It’s not a Republic anymore. It’s the nicest division of a global corporation.
Bye.
There is still the chance that a Convention of States can bring the government under control.
2/10
I liked the conviction and the apocalyptic tone at the end. Otherwise kind of ‘meh’ in terms of an Opus.

OPUS!
Good luck to you. I know how you think.

I love these goodbye threads. Every web forum has a number of these. They always end with the guy coming back the next day ;-)
Be that as it may, information is still your FRiend.
Question: If all three branches of the federal government refuse to obey the existing Constitution, why would they obey an amended Constitution?
Nothing quite like the quitting on America when she needs you the most.
I know exactly how you feel. I’m about at the same point. Hate to see you go.
You gotta do what you gotta do. Me? I’m staying until the bitter end. And I want to go out with an empty magazine, a broken sword, and blood under my fingernails.
Well we are doing that too but in the meanwhile why not snark a little on FR? :-)
A lot of people here are thinking the same way...I spend more time in the garden and less with people...take care of immediate family, cats, and spend more time listening to Christian talk. This nation needs to repent, but it isn't going to...
Taking off just in time to miss the upcoming Freepathon.
Nice timing!
