It is time. My opus

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.

If you scroll through Melas’ posting history you will see that he/she/it essentially admits to being an atheist.

Good thing...the violence and condemnation of sodomite sin in the Scriptures would make him/her/it cry like a baby.

[spacejunkie2001]

all I can say is, glad you’re gone. What a misfit you are to stay on a conservative site all these years and not be one; and then accuse us of racism??? pathetic.

[who knows what evil?]

Similarly the use of "Amish" (though it's used in a tongue in cheek sense here on FR) is likewise off base. For the most part, the actual Amish are law-abiding, hard-working people who may annoy some when behind one of their slow-moving buggies. But sullying those mostly good people, even in jest with a wink and nod, by using that term as code is the height of being politically correct in our language. Can we not be honest and use the term black, white, Mexican, Asian or whatever is apt when it applies to feral thugs? And when the Amish turn a city into a shooting gallery as black gangs did this weekend in Chicago, let me know.

I couldn't agree more with this post. What is wrong with the TRUTH? People are so frightened of being referred to as 'racist' that they are AFRAID of speaking the TRUTH. If an African-American is responsible for committing a crime, then let the TRUTH be known.

"Many "racists" disliked Jackie Robinson when he came up to the majors merely because he was black. But, when they saw him play baseball they, however grudgingly, acknowledged him."

A whole cloth argument which is irrelevant in the racist discussion.

Jackie Robinson had SKILLS in the career he CHOSE, and moved forward. He was not "planted" via Affirmative Action in a job he had no qualifications for. It's ALWAYS the use of such mis-fit analogies in defense of "Diversity" that clouds the issue that if the Continent of Africa, in nearly ALL of the countries there, having been led by Blacks for 100's of years, have hardly moved forward since the beginning of time, simply put, because the Black intellect of the vast majority is NOT up to the task of innovation, creativity, self-respect, MORALITY, etc. Hundreds of years of lack of progress, and we want to foist that on Amerika, to show our "big tent" sympathy?

If you want to live the American Dream; JOIN THE values-based, Christian-based philosophy that it was FOUNDED UPON; re-make your OWN Country if you want something different....but then, we've allowed the minorities to dictate our Direction, because it's "PC", and we're "empathetic" and not "Racist". Soon, 20 million criminals who broke into what used to be our Home (the former USA), will join the ranks of the Progressive Utopians, living on handouts from the remaining productive Americans and their future lineage who will pay for their lifetimes, too, to buy the votes of the great un-washed and parasites.

Deal with it.

[beandog]

I agree with you.

Another non-spittle-on-the-lips freeper gone. He's wrong on the gay thing but dead on right about the racism and open hatred increase here.

Comments like, "All blacks are suspicious...they kill" are left standing by the mods and applauded by the sheets.

They are a small minority, maybe twenty in all, but they have become increasingly vocal.

Any Conservative minded Black American who spent a week here would run.

All blacks are suspicious...they kill"

Don't believe it. Which thread? Start digging or quite the slander.

BTTT

Thank you. There are, as always, several on the money responses throughout this thread, but yours, FRiend, gets right to the core of them all.

May God keep watch.

Hate to see you go, but I will make note of this comment: "More and more posts reference violent solutions to political disagreements."

We are way, WAY beyond political disagreements at this point. There is precious little room left for political discourse and discussion. Anybody that doesn't recognize what may need to be done to restore our constitutional republic is either blind or has an alterior motive.

[wtc911]

I don’t give a crap whether you believe it or not. It’s a quote from a long-time freeper on a Zimmerman thread. And the mods let it stand.

Find it or shut up.

Herman Cain got more support on this web site than he got anywhere else. You are a BS'er with a axe to grind. Take somewhere else.

Now, not a single crime can be reported with an "amish" comment

Yet, I notice the "amish" comments tend to be true FAR more than not.

[Lazamataz]

Oh, look, it's Free Republic's Race Troll, wtc911, who delights in making stuff up about Freepers OUTRIGHT, and then disappearing when called on it.

Tell me, if the comment you allude to offended you so, did you hit abuse on it? If you did not, why not? And can you -- at the TINIEST minimum -- at least FIND the wtc911-offending quote?

Meet us halfway here: Prove 0.00001% of what you claim. KTHXBAI

[central_va]

I know how hared it is to find old threads, I am still looking for the thread where wtc911 admitted to fornicating a sheep as a college haze ritual. Still looking....

FR has become increasingly racist since President Obama took office

This is bull. There are many things wrong with the FR but this is not one of them.

[wtc911]

KMA. The truth doesn't rely on your acceptance of it. And, the support for Cain from one segment of Freepers has nothing to do with the naked racism of other freepers.

[Bigh4u2]

I decided to do a Google search of the phrase:
“all black youths are suspects - they kill” that you have posted on your profile page and claim it was posted by a ‘Freeper’ and the ‘mods let it stand’.

Well, It seems you were right.

There was 1 instance of the quote showing up from the search, and guess what???

YOU were the Freeper that posted it.. right on your own PROFILE PAGE..

Be seein’ ya!
