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

Thanks for all the good years FR community!

[MattinNJ]

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.

I liked the conviction and the apocalyptic tone at the end. Otherwise kind of ‘meh’ in terms of an Opus.

OPUS!

[x1stcav]

Good luck to you. I know how you think.

[pepsi_junkie]

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

[miliantnutcase]

I love these goodbye threads. Every web forum has a number of these. They always end with the guy coming back the next day ;-)

[Berlin_Freeper]

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?

"I am basically going to disconnect, discontinue following politics, and quit voting."

Nothing quite like the quitting on America when she needs you the most.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I know exactly how you feel. I’m about at the same point. Hate to see you go.

[IronJack]

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? :-)

[who knows what evil?]

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.

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!
