What has happened to Free Republic? [What difference at this point can it possibly make?]

Posted on 03/17/2016 3:13:11 PM PDT by katwoman5779

Since Obuma was elected to POTUS, I have been coming to Free Republic to get news, opinions and a few laughs. Most of the serious posts were bemoaning the out of control government and what could be done about it. "Oh Whoa is Me!". Then along comes a constitutional conservative. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a constitutional candidate running for the GOP nomination. This man was elected by conservatives to go to Washington and stand up to the elites that no longer listen to the American people. He didn't go to Washington and "fall in" with the crowd. He went there and stood up to them just like he said it would - calling a spade a spade. I'm sorry, but I don't understand how otherwise intelligent people can fall for the likes of Donald Trump. This man was donating to the same people we were fighting to throw out of office the last eight years. Suddenly he is a conservative after years of joining with the liberals to promote big fat bloated government. He is not an outsider. He has been greasing the palms of the slime bags in Washington for 30 years. He can't even define what conservatism is. Wake up America. You are no better than the sycophants that suck up to Obuma. You can't see that Trump is just pushing your buttons with his rhetoric - just like Obuma pushed his sycophants buttons. The hate I see on Free Republic for Ted Cruz, Mark Levin and all the other great conservative leaders remind me of liberal websites. It is disgusting.

Bears repeating.

A lot of people have been on this forum for a lot longer than that and post even less. How many times you post has nothing to do with how much of the content you personally absorb.

I just happen to be a big mouth so I post a lot but certainly don’t hold it against anyone or their opinions because they don’t.

I agree. I will be voting for Trump and working for Trump hard if he is the nominee.

The ultimate goal is defeating them. The time is critical to beat them.

But this thread is about FR not Trump or Cruz or whoever.

The point is many, maybe a majority, have turned on conservatives and have ridiculed, belittled, shamed and attempted for force them off this forum. Frankly, it’s been incredible to watch what the average FReeper has turned into (myself too in some cases I must admit).

But yet I have great hope, because, just like the Bushes, eventually we tossed the stars off of our eyes and questioned how we were hoodwinked and refused to remain quiet.

Those days are coming again.

First lesson, Jeb is gone, Rubio is gone and the ruling portion of the GOP is struggling to stay in power.

If you can accept that, you will feel comfortable with the new FR. If you are here to promote the Old Guard, the greatness of the Bush Family, you might want to turn tail fast.

Just some very friendly advice.

Why hold the convention at all? Supposedly the people have spoken, let’s declare Trump the nominee and let him take it from here.

Cruzers have principles? They don’t even show up for his live rally threads. But they sure pound Trump 24/7.

We have no idea what Trump intends to do, we only know what he says on any given day. I guess that we can only hope that he will do what he says.

I have a question for you. Have any of DT’s businesses contributed to making America great again? Are they the kind of businesses that you want? Why hasn’t he gotten into mfg since the first time he talked about becoming president almost 30 years ago? (1988 on oprah) What effect did his businesses have on Atlantic City and other towns where his endeavors were the mainstay?

http://www.roncaskey.com/articles/Donald-Trump-on-Oprah-25-Years-Ago.php

Do you remember that in 2015 right after he announced his candidacy that he said he with oprah would make an unstoppable team? Since he takes no ones advice, maybe we should really listen to him.

http://deadline.com/2015/06/donald-trump-oprah-president-candidate-george-stephanopoulos-video-1201445689/

Did you know he testified before a Congressional committee on the economy in 1991? He said the incentive to invest was taken away under Reagan in 1986. He wanted the real estate business helped and funded Frank Dodd who was partner to the real estate bubble.

...Right now I want a mean bastard as President and that mean bastard is Donald Trump.

LOL. And I'm sure that you would agree: that bastard must be smart enough and experienced enough to get the things done that need to get done!

#361 You mean good construction type jobs that Donald hires illegals to do because he’s to freaking cheap to pay American Workers decent wages so he can fly around in a 767 and live like a Arab Oil shiek and donate to Democrat Politicians and policies?

Hardly someone I’d trust to put anything above his own self serving motives.

You need to go read Vox Day on the difference between logic-based arguments and emotion-based arguments, and when each one is effective.

"Let’s get it over with."

Man, I am so happy to hear that. However it turns out.

As always, please be clear on the official choice so us old-timers don't inadvertently post something forbidden.

Sounds like you're gettin' ready to make the call:)
