RE Recollections:

They’re wonderful and at the same time, as I sat there writing them, it was ripping my heart out of my chest...

It’s almost like looking at a Ghost Town... you see it for what it once was, and now all of the familiar faces are gone, replaced by rot and decay.

It’s kind of painful... and this thread and the wonderful posts that others painted just drew me in immediately.

Yeah people... All you Freepers posting your memories on this thread. All you good people who look back and see things that are gone, like watching an old black and white television set with rabbit ears... something’s still there, but it ain’t what it used to be.

I miss everything you do too... we’ve had it forcibly taken from us while we were going about our daily lives, raising our kids, paying our bills, caring for our aging parents... growing gray ourselves.

We were lectured about being “tolerant” and “sensitive” and “non-judgemental” and look where it got us.

Here. Now.

Tolerating the intolerable, being judged by the freakshow, and having OUR sensibilities - OUR traditions, cultures, and morals denigrated, mocked, and demonized.

Somewhere along the way, it seems we forgot how to be “A People”, and believed the bullsh*t that the left spouted about us, our past, our heroes, our traditions, our culture - OUR essence as Americans.

Or maybe not “believed” them so much as we just didn’t pay attention to what they were doing.

But as long as ONE of us remembers it... as long as one of us is here to tell the story of Us... it isn’t gone.

And as long as one of us keeps that FIERCE Americanism in our heart..

As long as as one of us remembers that OUR flag looks different from every other flag on the planet for a reason...

As long as one of us remembers that every freckle-faced kid from Philly, Boise, Sheboygan, Omaha, Trenton, Butte, and a hundred thousand other towns and cities across this country that went away and never came home and left a weeping mother, wife, sister, and grandmother behind them - died so that there would be a place that others could run TO...

As long as ONE OF US remembers and has the courage to stand up and SHOUT that OUR way of life IS and always has been exceptional... then THEY haven’t won.

I love this place... love the whole damned IDEA and IDEAL of this place... And they can’t EVER have this place for free, nor painless.

Yeah. I know. Sounds corny... But I’m serious.

You have a way with words. It is your duty to write. This post is as good as the other one - now you’ve got me in the fighting spirit!

It is your duty as a Patriot to write! Remember Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine!

You need to read this. If you’re like me, you’ll end up with a lump in your throat!

It's a fait accompli, sorry to say.

The Founders created the most utopian nation in history -- based on Judeo-Christian morals and ethics. God truly blessed America. However, that nation they created and we once knew is dead. No longer does the Lord bless her; As a matter of fact, America is now accursed.

The ONLY alternative remaining in a divisive hodgepodge of misfits, leftist loons, whores and traitors is in creating a neo-confederacy -- united and rooted in the Founders ideals, traditions, and heritage. Yes, by necessity that means a Judeo-Christian ideal and ethic must be observed and respected, and Constitution "re-calibrated" in accordance to the Founders' original specific intent. The movement of people and lines of demarcation of a new republic would present a problem, but should be negotiable. Rogue cultists and the perpetual entitlement/parasite/victim class need not apply....

...Otherwise, may your chains set lightly upon you in the NWO's Neo-America, a vassal-state which is to be subservient to the UN.
