Enjoyed my years engaging in discussions on Free Republic, but I am done. Time to face reality.

If a sober sane, third party emerges I am with it.

I am also supporting Ted Cruz for President and keeping my R registration for now.

I not staying home, I’m just not being sucked into supporting the GOPe in my voting even in general elections. I will write in if I have to........

Its sometimes good to spend time away praying meditating and so on. I like to get away from here for some time outs myself, but not a complete time out.

We all seem to know how the new world order wants to rule the planet but they screw up so much they will never get the job done at least not while Christians are on the planet.

Amen, brother! Lots of smack talking on the internet. People, me included, say things on the internet we’d never say in person. It’s why we post using screen names.

We are of the same frame of mind. However, as things worsen it will be good to have a forum to glean info and ideas from other like-minded folks. I will remain here, although I see the political handwriting on the wall.

Every time I start feeling down like that, I just cruise over to DU for a few minutes. Those people are so pathetic, it makes me feel much better. Don’t try it a home.

FR doesn’t at all. Just waking up every day with another bombardment of freedoms lost , a lying, complicit media, and spineless politicians gets too much, sometimes.

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.

 

IF (big if) you are correct with regards to your second paragraph, then why are you losing focus on your first paragraph? Yes, there are indeed a "great variety of topics" to discuss here at FR. And they do not all deal with the social and economical illnesses you speak of. Learn to ignore and pass over the (many) threads out there that you know will only serve to push your buttons. (I'm saying this for my benefit as well).

Case in point (for me) is these stupid Confederate Flag stories. Has the whole dam country (and FR) suddenly gone ape-bleepy over the Stars and Bars? WHO CARES? I ignore them. Tomorrow there will be a new and different "crisis". Try and learn to keep a proper perspective on what is truly important, and ignore the drivel.

Sort of reminds me of a little child who decides to ‘run away from home’ and is back for supper.

You are probably very annoying to be around in person

Pretty much. It's about the same, either here or in the real world.

True story.

But I'm endearing as hell, so I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” - Thom. Paine
