Apparently this never got posted here because of the limitations of probation, so here you go:
So...here we are...18 years. Mostly good. Clintons a Liar, Dr Raouls costumes, AppyPappy's daughter singing the National Anthem, Kristinns wonderful reporting. The repugnant lies of Classy Green Eyed Blonde and DeepInTheHurtgenForest. The surreal cryptic posts of quidam. The lib trolls like Eschoir. The March for Justice? Heady times. They really were. Fighting against a President who had the gall to look us in the eye and lie to us.
But the last 9 months? Absolutely unrecognizable. A lot of great FReepers run off. And most of the ones doing the chasing have no idea of any of those people or events that I referenced above, have no idea of FR's history.
And for what? A two bit carnival barker who has backed every liberal cause that crosses his path. A man who is the very embodiment of a crass know-it-all liberal New Yorker. A man who has spent his life supporting everything that, at its founding, this website has fought against tooth and nail.
I get it. Y'all want to win. You want someone who will stick a shiv in the GOP. I want the GOP gutted too. They are lowlife scum who are selling us down the river. But, for some of you, your desire for revenge is being invested in a man who has lived his life with values completely antithetical to your own, completely antithetical to the constitution you once said you revered. And for the rest of you, you're probably hack trolls and faux conservatives who wouldn't know a conservative value if it walked up and kicked you in the ass. There have actually been some "conservatives" on this site who were A-ok with Trump becoming a dictator...as long as he's their dictator (true statement...look it up).
Another former long time FReeper has been banned for having the temerity to post Jim's OWN WORDS where he highlighted what a disaster Donald Trump is. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2706770/posts?page=109#109)
Every time someone has the guts to espouse a point of view that is contrary to St. Trump, they are set upon and the calls for banning ensue. And yet no one, including JR, will ever answer the question....what has he actually DONE that caused you to reverse your opinion of him?
And I know...the trumpeters are now going to wail and gnash their teeth saying they were set upon first...that all the bannings were justified. Those mean old Cruzers were making the poor Trumpeter snowflakes MELT!!!! Perhaps take a step back from the kindergarten playground arguments and face things head on. In my own case, I challenge anyone reading this to go back and find my offensive posts. I will tell you what you will find: I used the word trumpeters....sorry, it's shorter than writing "trump supporters" every time. And you will find the occasion when I called dynoman a troll because, rather than answer a question about Trump, he would snarkily post more of his ridiculous pictures. And in point of fact, ultimately he recognized that he WAS trolling and we then engaged in a conversation. And you will find over and over and over again my appeal for someone, anyone to tell me what Trump has ever DONE in his nearly 70 years on the planet that shows he has a sincerely held conservative belief. Keyword is DONE. I get lots and lots of excuses, was even told to "watch The Apprentice, then you'll see". That's it. (For the record, none of you has answered the question....not one).
So what caused my banning after 18 years? I told Jim that I thought he was going to regret his backing of the charlatan and that he was abdicating the principles upon which FREE Republic had fought for. Apparently FREE means something different once the Trump worship kicks in? Meanwhile disgusting pieces of human refuse like GPH can post things like this about another long standing FReeper and somehow doesn't get banned:
"2ndDivisionVet is a pathological liar and moral degenerate." -GPH
And right now all of you sycophants are sputtering, "but it's Jim's site." Um, no it's not. It belongs to everyone who has posted and reveled in the FREE exchange and discussion of beliefs. If Jim fell over dead tomorrow, the idea that WAS Free Republic would continue. Free Republic was about an idea that we can win when we advance conservative, constitutional ideals...an idea that has been profoundly corrupted and abandoned here. Jim is just another man who puts his pants on one leg at a time. And like all men he can be wrong...and holy crap, go back and read the archives and see how far this site has fallen....he's wrong.
And in the meantime, every manner of despicable attack on staunch conservatives has been lauded and encouraged. Everyone of you who claims to be a conservative and aren't just here shilling should be ashamed of yourselves (it's just a job, right BFAC, you liberal hack? Oh and for the record, drop the pretense....you aren't black, and the closest you've ever been to being an army captain is you saw one in a movie once...rumor has it the female part might be true though, right Pamela?). All of YOU are the reason the country is slipping away. Yes, you! You place such low value on your alleged principles, the ones you've been thumping your chests about these many years, that you will cast them all aside for the guy who whispers sweet nothings in your ear that, "yes, he will still love you in the morning". In case you still languish under your misguided delusions, here's some reality for you: there will be no wall...there will be no conservative Supreme Court justices (don't hand me any BS about that list "he" posted, there were so many disclaimers thrown in there as to render it meaningless)...there will be no gutting of the GOP....instead there will be deal after deal after deal. He has no principles so he will have no second thoughts whatsoever about selling those things down the river. Enjoy your art of the deal. As I believe liberalism to be the cause of all that ails my beloved country, whose uniform I was proud to wear, I vowed to never vote for a liberal. Donald Trump's lifelong actions show him to be just another lowlife scum liberal....truly: #NeverTrump, #NeverHillary...I will not blindly vote for one liberal statist over another liberal statist.
And I know, now you will all post your snarky little comments, reveling in your self perceived superiority and the echo chamber that Free Republic has become. Enjoy it. It will be fleeting. Because, in your arrogance and desire for revenge all you have done is condemn all of us and our posterity to a post-Constitutional America. May our posterity forget you were our countrymen and may your chains be a millstone.
Who is this ******* axeslinger?
I started visiting FR in late 1998 and started posting early 1999. I never heard of this arrogant Neanderthal.
Quite opinionated, isn't he.
................... roger, Sir.
Great post. Agree with every word.
He joined on 5/15/2016.
A towering, godlike intellectual colossus, envied by men and worshiped by women... in the comic book he writes in his head, while working the deep fryer.
I give it 8/10.

You missed his whole point.
FR was once much much more than a “chat room.”
We did things that really affected life in America in a positive way.
We weeded out the kind of miscreants that look to control the debate here now. FR was respected globally.
Much has been lost over the past year.
Chat on!
.
Maybe you could use it as a template. If things are so bad now, what point is there to remaining?
Who complain about Trump but yet had no problem with Ted parading around with that nut, Glenn Beck.
I was just about to throw a fit about the ‘chat room’, too. FR has been the place to leak what needs to be leaked since inception. Our currency is our reach, when not at war with each other. If we can take down Rather, Inc, and survive the LSM’s retaliation, and survive the 07 Rudy war, then maybe in November we can put it back together.

>> “If things are so bad now, what point is there to remaining?” <<
We’ve been through lows before. We can overcome.
we better understand that divided the left conquers...
UNITED we stand....
and that means to go ahead and push your view point but not attacking so viciously freepers that don't agree...
Trumpers have won...they've run off other candidates....
you'd think that was enough...
but no....now we're attacking Rush, and Levin, and Beck, and all the faithful freepers who have been here for close to 2 decades.....
the enemy is us....
Always remember: loonies invariably attract (and join forces with) other loonies.
;)
The he!! It doesn’t!!!
Good, thorough opus.
Sounds like you need to start an alternative forum to FR.
How about Cruzlem’s Republic?
I think a few already started that one. It’s where they get briefed.
I’ve been here for “almost two decades,” and I can’t think of any bunch besides some on religion threads that deserve “running off” more.
They were political Luddites insisting one using sword and pike tactics in an age of firearms.
