Impressive, Laz. I didn’t realize you were so articulate.
Another freeper put it very very VERY well. I will quote his eloquent words, adding a little for clarity, and make it big and bold so people see it:
Ive been surprised that seein the country come apart at the seams every day for the last three+ years hasnt caused more crackups on Free Republic before now, frankly.
Maybe the younger ones just dont see it as clearly, but folks in their 50s^ (like me) have seen it turn just about completely to shit in comparison to what we grew up in.
The reactions and crackups (like that thread, assuming thats the cause) are going to throw lots of normal middle of the road FReepers for a serious loop in the days and months ahead. And the "shooting, riots, voter fraud and purposeful crises" part hasn't even started yet ..
I reply:
Impressive Laz, I didn't realize you were so sober
And If I can't joke with you, I'll start typing my opus ...
