OPUS AND OUT

[woofie]

I took some time away from FR and Im enjoying that time immensely.(it just takes an attitude adjustment).

So off I go.

I considered shutting up and simply leaving but since I have been here a while I figured , Hell I might as well say something and Opuses are somewhat of a tradition..... thus the Opus route won

Final thoughts: A professor I had said if you don't agree on terms you are not communicating

And there is not much agreement on terms anymore. The main term not agreed on is "CONSERVATIVE "

On Google FR is defined as :

Online message boards for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. Gather at Free Republic to check notes, plan strategy, and talk about the issues ...

People who gather here now thinK Donald Trump is conservative enough and many people now hate George W Bush for failing to be conservative enough.

Good luck communicating.

since I have been on FR the following has happened....

Bill Clinton and his wife , both lawyers, skirted the law and broke the law in a myriad ways.

And while Freepers (and I) were appalled, most of the American People did not give a damn and continue to embrace them.

Next Al Gore came way too close to being elected President but we celebrated when Bush won

Integrity and honesty were big selling points when GW Bush was voted in. As far as Im concerned GW had them, still has them and the Bush's (now hated en mass) had class, which was a far cry from the previous Clinton years.

Then with 9/11 America (sort of ) woke up and realized that people in the Middle East had declared war on us some time back .....and they were serious.

WE, AMERICA (not just Bush ) then declared war. Overwhelming support was shown by almost all our representatives in Congress.

But after a few years some anti war people convinced Democrats that Bush was stupid and wrong and America should be anti war and they (the Democrats) could take control. It could be just like just like 1968 again

It was smart politics for the Democrats. Donald Trump also was smart enough at the very beginning to know that Bush was stupid and wrong and he is really proud of that. Gradually many more people were convinced of all this (and to my surprise many Freepers joined them).

The end result was the election of Obama

And a lot of Americans have been just fine with that shift, just not me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

God Bless America

Thanks Jim

I enjoyed most of it.

I even learned what the internet was all about because I found FR

Please remove me from FR

You were brilliant on just about every post.

Will miss you.

I feel your frustration.

I hope you come back

[plain talk]

Hate to see ya go. But I do understand. The Trump crowd has kind of taken over the site. Good luck!

Gadsden1st said: "Between the two of them, we have all but secured the election from the establishment."

That's been my take on things. If a Democrat wins in November and appoints a young socialist to the Supreme Court we are truly lost for a generation or more.

There may be doubt about the nominees that Trump or Cruz might select. There is no doubt about what the Democrats will choose. We see the effect on the present Court.

The divisiveness we are experiencing now may come at a price.

Sorry to see you go. Take care.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good riddance.

If you can't understand Trump's support then I can't help you.

Good luck with your life and your future.

Save your password and come back when the civil war begins (if the internet is still allowed for conservatives).

God bless FRiend !

See, these kind of opus’s are not fun. They are only a kick when the person leaving says and uses hateful rhetoric and tells us how we are all a bunch of losers. You were far too kind and respectful - not fun at all.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I still hold that a true conservative must be a person that also has a firm knowledge and love of the Word of God, whose beliefs and actions politically must be based upon that faith. The atheists here do not agree. And they can be quite nasty about it.

[Army Air Corps]

A concise statement of opinion that many shall understand and others shall scorn. I invite you to take a break rather than leave altogether.

[catfish1957]

Have been in Freeper exile for almost a week now, and all my posts are time delayed. I share your exact feelings, and am near the same point in my 16 years as a Freeper.

Seems FR is no longer a place for those who support Ted Cruz.

[deport]

Thanks for the memories. Take care, enjoy your future endeavors and keep the faith
as you see it. Life goes on until the time we meet our maker. May you be blessed.

Are you sure this is a real opus? I couldn’t find any typos.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

LOL

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Don’t go.

[TigersEye]

Spelling - perfect!
Capitalization - perfect!
Punctuation - perfect!
Formatting - excellent!
Tone - polite and respectful!

This isn’t passing the opus smell test.

[Caipirabob]

This is exactly what I've been worried about with all of the mindless insults being hurled all over the place here. We've lost too many good folks needlessly. I can't blame you a bit. Well, best of luck to you. Hope you come back soon.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

The judges have ruled . . . he came in and he isn’t getting out - unless he follows the Opus rules.

[Smittie]

All Bushes are frauds. The biggest mistake President Reagan made was having Bush as V.P., which led to where we are today.

[TigersEye]

LOL You can check in but you can never leave!
