Dear Jim and Freepers:
I am deleting Free Republic from my computer. Free Republic was an Oasis for conservatives to share their views and thoughts in a rational, respectful and thoughtful way. I enjoyed the exchange of ideas and perspectives.
Very sadly, it has turned into a place for irrational ravings, slogans, mob mentality and cheap plagiarism. I’m not putting all into those categories as there are some fine folks here, but as evidenced by the Trumpbots taking over threads, what used to be a wonderful forum for ideas and thought has turned into a sad parody of itself.
I know, don’t let the door hit you in the ass, but I won’t be here to respond.
Regards to those with brains left here.
Dude, the hubub will be over in a few weeks. If Trump wraps up the nomination early and then starts aping Bernie Sanders, FR will come to its collective senses. If Trump campaigns in the general election as a conservative, same deal.
