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.
You, can check out but, you can never leave...
We all feel that way sometimes but, we’re Americans and keep pressing on.
Take a break and see you around...
I agree. I give it about 1.5 stars out of 5 for an Opus.
Hear you loud and clear Codey... dont leave for good. Take a break and check back in from time to time. There’s life beyond feckless pols and even here from good ole FR... the world kinda sucks bad these days—clouds up everything else.
I sometime feel the same way. But give up? Not in my book. What’s next, suicide?
I’ve known for some time that the Illuminati/New World Order was real....and that the political process is a scam....
But I will still come here to watch whats going on amongst the sheeple.
“There is still the chance that a Convention of States can bring the government under control.”
Uh no there isn’t. A convention of AR’s maybe. :-)
I’m sorry, who are you again?
When it comes to a SHTF situation, Freepers will prevail. We have the brains, the skills and the determination.
LOL
And the ammunition. Don't forget the ammunition.
“I give it about 1.5 stars out of 5 for an Opus.”
Oh, come one, he gets less points for lack of entertainment but he at least gets 2.5 stars for heart felt honesty.
You’ll be back, lurking at least. I have the same general outlook you do, but earnest preparation, working to do good, etc. and reading for entertainment and ideas can coexist. Even though there is lots of noise here, it’s unusual to read here and not learn something.
I hear ya. I’ve thought some of the same things myself.
I hope you’re wrong, but can’t say you are.
More men and women have fought for these freedoms than any other country...and to them, I won't let a bunch of pansy assed sissies like the ‘muslim brotherhood’ or ‘black lives matter’ or some ‘bruce jenner’ or some white woman that wants to be black, make me give up....
I'm preparing my family, and we will stand and fight until we die or are killed....that is more than any ‘pocket money filling politician’ can say.....
Carry forward America, I love you!!!
If you stop voting, stop participating and crawl away, you have already lost.
You have forfeited the fight, wimped out, dropped to your knees.
Good luck, but please reconsider your position.
We need your vote and your voice to continue the fight.
Oh...bye Op....I offer this...
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
