Well, it “is” based in California . . . and it is kind of like a hotel . . .
You'll be missed!
Interesting viewpoint.
Did you know that if you take all the letters in your title, you can spell out the word “rutabaga”?
There are a fair number though. Lots of missing names, but a fair number of old-timers.
I took a few years away too - albeit not out of rebellion or even negativity towards the site. It was a bit of a start at how things had changed though.
I remember some of the grand libertarian/conservative debates and discussions, where like a Federalist Paper at times people defined their beliefs, and recognized that there were different favors of Conservative, but that we were far closer to each other than to the opposition.
Not that there weren’t flame-wars...
Yes, but not with only the letters in the title.
I can take all the letters in your screen-name, and spell out the word “pumpkin”. ;)
Sorry to see you go. I’ve been here about as long as you. When things get bad, i just read the articles and skip the comments.
Yeah, but I’ll bet you were some kind of spelling bee champion or something.
I was always the first kid out in the spelling bee.....
“Your word is ‘anonymous’.”
“Anonymous? Can you use that in a sentence, please?”
“Sure. ‘The anonymous lives in Africa’.”
“Hell if I know how to spell that, then.”
Saved me some time because the principle, or principal, was right their or there.
You shouldn’t go. We’ll all be complaining about Trump soon enough. And I’m for the guy.
Take a break....and do come back!
You don’t have to leave. You can come over and stand by the cotton bales for a bit.
I don’t post much either. But stay Woofie! This too shall pass! If you decide to leave, I will miss you my FRiend. Either way Godspeed!
Buh bye!
Just when Cruz starts winning some states?
George hisself said he was a 'compassionate' conservative, obviously distancing himself from the standard conservative...
In my view Rubio, Romney, McCain and a host of others are not conservative...While a Trump supporter I realize that Cruz is a conservative...I also realize Trump currently is at least as conservative on some issues, more conservative on others and less conservative on even others...But then we all get to chose our own definition of conservative...
Since every Republican out there classifies himself as a conservative the word needs to be thrown away...It doesn't mean anything anymore...I've seen so many arguments on who is and who isn't conservative on these threads it makes my head spin...
Again as I see it, FR was based on the belief in a HISTORIC Constitutional Gov't...That historic gov't would be a pro America gov't...
I an others on FR believe our gov't has walked away from that historic document and practice...We believe Trump wants to get us back there...That's why we can be FReepers and still support Trump...
I don't believe we have taken anything away from the mission of Jim Robertson and Free Republic...
But do as you will...
+1
Good luck and success for your future. May we all see improvement in the country’s future. Regards,
Sorry to see you go Woofie, but I understand how you feel. I signed up only one day after you, and I no longer recognize this place.
It's been tough lately, and I will confess that certain people on both sides of the schism have been forfeiting an awful lot of respect and credibility by their behavior. Others were never better than that to begin with. It's a big forum, and it hasn't been a family for a very long time, but there's family in it and it hurts to see that part of it broken by the part that really doesn't matter all that much.
Been an honor and a blessing to have you around, FRiend. Go with God, and if your path takes you back here there'll be a key under the mat.
