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.

I tried to post his lectures on FR but, unfortunately, the Dailymotion website isn’t allowed on this forum.

Yuri told America what to expect and was ignored by media and press and now we are living through the consequences of ignorance.

My point was, and I stick to it, that term limits for elected faces are meaningless, because the elected faces don't set the agenda. The forces who set the legislative agenda are just as powerful at the state level as at the federal level, so repeal of the 17th would have little effect.

The current political/administrative/judicial system is a huge house of cards. It will fall of its own doings.

Thanks for your post reminding us to be faithful.

The slave girl, Hagar, left Abraham and Sarah after her usurpation was recognized and punished. The Lord found her (Genesis 16: 7-16), reminded her He knew her name, occupation and where she lived. His philosophic questions (Where did you come from? and Where are you going?) were answered by, I am running away (from my mistress Sarah.) She was running away from reality. We run away from God before we run away from others. She was able to accept the truth and return when the Lord promised her son would lead a great nation someday. We have God’s promise He is still in charge at the end. We have to remain faithful no matter what persecutions we face. We are on the winning side. The Lord bless us all.

The negative naybobs will reject that interview because the interviewer is G. Edward Griffin. Sad, isn’t it?

The liberals are all about demoralizing Western Civ - see James Burnham's "Suicide of the West."

Repeal the 17A, restore federalism and watch.
Seriously? I hope you don't really think that would be the only outcome (if that) of a COS

There is still the chance that a Convention of States can bring the government under control.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

As a relative newcomer here, I gotta say, as if I wasn’t bumbed-out enough already, now I’m really depressed after reading this thread. I’m gonna drown myself in a couple of hours of sudoku.

I’m thinking the United States has its best years still in front of it.

If we lose, I’m headed to the desert to start prepping also.

In a country where it is illegal to collect rainwater on your own land, that could be a risky option. As much as I like the desert, that would not be my destination of choice.

Thanks for all the good years FR community!

I understand the feeling...but I hope you’ll be back since FReeping is somewhat addicting and perhaps you just need some time to charge your batteries.

That being said, I believe that Free Republic is no place for Defeatists.
