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

Please forgive the vanity...

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.

Everything being pushed that most of us are against will come to fruition, with no chance of stopping it. I also realize that there will be no pushback, or moment of "hell no", despite all the brave talk of those behind keyboards. All the big talkers will eventually give up their first and second amendment rights with hardly a whimper.

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.

For my own sanity, I just need to tune it all out from now on.

Question: If all three branches of the federal government refuse to obey the existing Constitution, why would they obey an amended Constitution?
They'll "obey" it because, when the dust settles, starting with the first and 2nd on day one, it will end up being closer to the way THEY (not you) wanted it to be...

When it comes to a SHTF situation, Freepers will prevail. We have the brains, the skills and the determination.


and the firepower.

Did you know yesterday was the Feast of St. Thomas More?

No.

Do you know why he was beheaded?

I'm betting he either pissed somebody off or was in the wrong place or both.

it took AGES for him to be declared a saint in the catholic church.

I'm also betting that didn't help him much after his head was chopped off.

Your negative comment doesn’t add anything to the equation

Was I supposed to be doing that, adding to the equation?

I see clearly myself that it is over for the US,too

Well, Bye.

I’m just standing by for the ferals to arrive at the front door. I think I can take down a couple dozen before they get me.

Good luck!

Read what Sen. Sessions wrote, sounds like he has just begun to fight.

Got to admit I felt like it was all over earlier today, but the thing is life goes on.

I felt that way once.

Everything was going against me.

I just needed to get away from everybody.

So I started to run.

I ran and I ran.

Oh, wait, that was Forrest Gump.

Sorry.

That reality stuff is overhyped.

I’ve been wondering when will the point come that Claire Wolfe’s “awkward stage” is in the rearview mirror.

The majority of the population when our founding fathers fought to establish our great country had the same attitude.

Right you are. The "I give up" toads are ignorant of our revolutionary past and, I think, people of little faith.

Usually when someone writes a vanity saying they are leaving FR the wise @#$’s come out of the woodwork and ridicule the person. Today almost 90% of the replies have started with, “I know how you feel”. This Confederate flag thing has really gotten to me today, and I’m a Yankee. It just seems we are losing more and more of our freedoms every day and we have been unable to stop it. I have been arguing today with liberals on FB and it seems the educational system in this country has created an army of Eloi , spouting liberal, false, talking points. I will keep up the good fight but I am getting weary.

Americans don't quit. Americans hate to lose. Americans hate losing and losers. Americans despise quitters.

Have a problem with that? Go bitch at Gen. George S. Patton.

Codeflier, you are a good egg.

Totally understand your position, especially the need to disengage for awhile.

God bless.

It’s “over” for a lot of countries too. You remember that referendum in Ireland last month?

But if this is the time that Jesus described as the “times of the Gentiles”, then it’s a sign that a very important event is at the doors.

There is another way of looking at whats going on in America....

I’m a Born Again Christian and as I interpret the Bible, It appears that we are entering the LAST DAYS.....that the TRIBULATION is before us....

AND

THAT JESUS WILL BE COMING BACK SOON!!!!!!

Do you know Jesus?

John 3:16

where the states are fully justified in either banding together and sending troops to DC in order to dismantle the machine by force or they are fully justified in banding together and just leaving the Union.

Why waste time giving yet one more chance to fedgov as power is consolidated in DC?

If voluntary peaceful secession is a good idea, why not simply do it now?

Under any scenario, is there realistically going to be a meeting of the minds between the fascist left and small government conservatives on any issue? Wouldn't be better to simply walk away now than try to stay together in a broken system that's irreparably divided ideologically?
