Blessings to you and your family. Let not your heart be troubled. God is in charge. As Jesus assures us, a sparrow does not fall to the ground without our Father in Heaven knowing about it and the very hairs on your head are all numbered. We are citizens of the kingdom of our loving God.
Selects favorites. I wonder what's going on at Free Republic today...Doh!
If I go that way ... I'll be taking a lot of them with me ... never give up Never surrender
Eat a Snickers. You get a little depressed when you're hungry.
God Speed and God Bless, Keep your Family Safe in the sure to be turbulent times ahead of us all.
Hush. Common sense has no place in that discussion.
Don’t let the Bums get you down!
more than one way to “go Galt”
You will be back.
“I am basically going to disconnect, discontinue following politics, and quit voting.”
I did that for a few years. I’ve only recently started engaging again.
The few years I dropped out were pretty productive and my blood pressure stayed low.
One other thing I noticed, after dropping out and then returning, everything was about right where it had been when I dropped out.
I’m hanging in a bit longer but it’s looking like I’ll either not vote or vote third party again.
This is all just theater anyway.
Good luck friend.
Free Republic is a community of all sorts of people, including (so you know,) many influential men and women of all faiths in politics, media, science, and even government.
If you believe in the Almighty, you believe in individual liberty. If you ever believed in America, you must still believe in the reality of hope as expressed at Valley Forge.
I can’t promise you America will ever return to her promise, but if you believe in liberty, and you believe in the reality of hope,
Free Republic, like that smoky old hall in Philadelphia, is the place to stand and be counted among fellow patriots.
When Walker is elected President and libs are imploding next year you should come back.
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.The Abomination of Desolation is not even in Jerusalem as yet. I do not know what your faith is, or if you have any, but this proverb seems to say something about you, with all due respect.
Proverbs 28:1
For my own sanity, I just need to tune it all out from now on.

Take care and good luck with your future endeavors. I find it best not to take
things to seriously that you find on websites. Structure your life to meet
the challenges as you see them for yourself and your family. May your
future help you find peace.
The part of me that agrees with you was once very small. But, it has been growing steadily since January 2008, and has quickened its pace recently.
It’s less than halfway now, but gaining. Hope for a national reality check is still there, but fading.
Hang tough.
A republic is to our current nation-state
as a dirigible is to a blimp. The former
is a compartmented airship while the latter
is a big bladder.
So take my advice: turn the TV off, stay off the 'Net, and decompress for a few weeks. Read those books you've been putting off. Get back in touch with those strange people you see around you (I believe mine said they were "family" or something like that. Who knew?)
We're in this for the long haul and nobody is giving up on the dream. Well, I'm not. Best to you.
