It was election eve 2012 and the Free Republic site was the most optimistic site onthe internet, Romney was going to become the next president and all seemed right with the world.
Then the Next day happened and it became the most depressing place on the internet as Romney lost and all we had to look forward to was the next 4,8.12,16 years of Obama and nothing pure socialism and the kulak round ups.
So I decided to leave FreeRepublic as I was getting too dperessed.
Today I log into FreeRepublic, because it is like a drug and I was joesing quite badly and what do I find out?
Obama is all of a sudden fiscally responsible and talking all about how he will now respect individual god given rights and how he is going to sit down with the conservatives and agree to all thier budget ideas!!!! He is even going to stop sending money to countries that hate us and is going to embargo the muslim brotherhood!!!
Wow!!! Everyone here at Free Republic is agreeing with the president as well becasue he is finally making sense, he even signed into law a bill that would give conservatives free ponies!
I am depressed because I was looking for a place to be unreasonably angry about the loss of my rights and I for the FR site and it is like the pages are crapping out rainbows and lolipops!!!
Wow. Dodged the ZOT there.... :p
my wife and I were talking about the govt giving away free phones over the weekend. What’s next? Free cars.........GM of course.........
Are you logged on? And where’s your skittles? You *must* have a bag of skittles, and a piece of coal ;).
LOL! Something told me to go back to my postand check - thankfully, I listened to myself. ;)
You should have come back the day Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.
Funniest day in FR history.
“...and think the whole world has gone insane for a day.”
I feel like that most days.
LOL. Did no one bother to notice that you’ve posted stuff every day for the last week or so?
I went no further back.
Happy April Fools day to you as well.
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
I didn't notice that.
But while you were away the rest of the country decided that Anne Hathaway was the source of all our troubles, so we're all working together on that.
Not the case at all. I, for one, remain completely incorruptible. No pony shall tempt me, no bushel-basket full of skittles, no limitless EBT card good at the liquor store, no Medicare sex-change operation, no white tutu wedding between me and my boyfriend at the National Cathedral and on your dime, nosirreeBUB! Well, OK, only a little tempted. Well, a lot, actually.
If this was true, it's certainly not any more. I've been thinking lately that FR has become one of the more negative ans pessimistic sites on the Internet. Just go down the list of posted articles and see what fraction take a negative tone about something.
Granted, conservatives have quite a lot to complain about right now, but is it really a good idea to just be a site full of glass-is-half-empty whiners and complainers? Isn't that what liberals are supposed to be like?
It's probably not even healthy or conducive to a forward outlook to expose oneself to a constant stream of negativity.
I hadn’t even thought of April Fool all day and forgot it was even April1st-—— until I got to your 5th and 6th paragraphs, and I said ?Huh? Then it dawned on me.
Good one!
And glad I wasn’t caught!
I’m off my feed . . been sick with a virus for over 4 weeks now. Usually get my husband with a really good April Fool joke; but ever since I got him good year before last on 4/1, it’s been downhill ever since. . . thought I had him this morning, though. Told him the cat had dragged in a rattlesnake on the back porch and screamed and hollered. Almost had him; but he happened to remember it’s 4/1 and called me on it. - The trick year before last was one where I did an authentic looking form where he was notified by the “AUTHORITIES” that he would be required to move our rural mailbox back from the road several feet because it was breaking local rules. He really was bummed out about it; then when I finally hollered, “April Fool’s”; he was SO relieved because it was going to be such a job moving. Since then, my jokes fall flat; but, never fear, the day isn’t over yet! :o)
I picked the wrong day to stop drinking
I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines.
