Fraid you’re preaching to the choir on this one.
Nothing has changed, other than we have a man in the WH who has finally outed the media, the left, the DNC, China etc.
The GOP politicians, i.e. Bushes, Ryans, Romney’s etc never had the courage to do this, AND STILL DON’T.
After November 3, I think you’ll see Trump and Barr getting order restored esp if we can keep the Senate, retake the House.
Excellent post!
The remedy is in Zachariah 1:3. Join Franklin Graham prayer march in DC tomorrow, 12 noon.
Every part of that email is quite literally true. It is beyond scary.
Once upon a time, folks had to work pretty hard just to keep up, much less get ahead. They didn’t have time for damnfoolery.
Despite that, folks still got into trouble sometimes.
Nowadays, we are insulated consequences of our actions. It is really hard to starve no matter how you behave.
So things have gotten worse. People can believe all sorts absurd things and it doesn’t impact their ability to survive.
That is what we seeing here.
Should be...
That’s why we have Free Republic, so we can get a dose of sanity from time to time.
The Ministry of Propaganda has convinced half the population that their upside down world is reality.
For decades the GOP has worked to meet the left halfway on destroying the country.
The other half finally have a champion.
It may be too late, but I’m not giving up.
Nowhere else to move is there? I recently moved to NC from CT and thought I’d get some peace of mind with people that had conservative beliefs. Boy, was I wrong.
The Democrat party voted to reject God, America turns to worshiping freedom and everybody wonders why His blessings fade.
I have lived around the world, trust me only where God is respected is it worth it to live.
Voting has its consequences.
What a sad paean to the new world of 1984 double think.
I feel as if the common man is being tested. The left is basically saying, “we’re taking your nation. What are you going to do about it?”
I believe that after the election we will find out if we have the stomach for it like our founders did. We’ll see.

Have We Gone Crazy?
This guy pretty much nails it.
I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.
But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life—so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can’t justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves...
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care for illegals is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
Not my words but accurate and disturbing!
I’ve been saying it for a while... We have become a very sick society.
I hear you, and I agree with you, and I’ve thought exactly along these lines, and I’ve struggled with the actual best “way out” of this. It seems to me that there are two ways, but they are in tension, and which way to go depends largely on what your end goal is. The first is to stand and fight; not literally (unless you need to), but to oppose the forces that are taking over the country. This would likely be done on a local level, as you have the most influence there. This path, if you choose to follow it, does not end and it is fraught with all manner of conflict. It’s hard to live on this path, but some people are cut out for it.
The second path is to “drop out,” as I refer to it. You’ll recall Timothy Leary’s mantra from the late ‘60s: Turn on, Tune in, and Drop out. Well, Leary was a revolutionary of another stripe, but this mantra can be revised for our purposes: Turn OFF, Tune OUT, and Drop OUT. What does this look like?
Turn OFF: Cut off the channels of insanity that are flowing into your life from the sources of greatest chaos, namely, the media of all kinds. Stop interacting with strangers over devices/screens. And, yes, sadly, it means to stop reading the Free Republic. Stop watching TV altogether, or at the very least, record any programs you want to watch and skip all commercials. Basically anything created in the last 15 years is going to have some leftist bias or agenda (yes, there are exceptions), so choose wisely.
Tune OUT: This is similar to Turn OFF, but tuning out is more for situations that are not within your control. Let’s say you go to the grocery store and someone is in the parking lot pushing their agenda; you just tune them out and move on. Do not engage, debate, attempt to refute, or in any way sanction their position by interacting with them. I think a big part of the issue we have now is that we actively entertain the most ridiculous ideas that the leftists throw out. We actually attempt to consider the idea and whether it has merit; this is a fatal mistake. The mere consideration of it provides a modicum of credence to the idea, which it does not deserve.
Drop OUT: This means to live in a community of people who, at least, will leave you alone, and at best, hold the same values as you do. This may mean moving to a remote or sparsely populated location. Disappear from the dying, chaotic society altogether, if you can.
I would imagine there are many who would disagree with the second path on the basis that it’s essentially avoiding the “real world.” Others would disagree with “handing the country over to the left” without a fight. I understand both of these criticisms, but for some, the first path is madness and would lead to a nervous breakdown.
I would wager some would say I’ve created a false dichotomy here; what about the third path?? Isn’t there some middle road where you just keep living like you always have? Well, friend, most of us are on the so-called “middle road” right now. My analysis says that the middle road is ending in a fork, and I can see the fork just up ahead. There is no middle road after that fork. You will have to choose, and so will I. I still read the news and FR, but I know the day is coming when I will have to choose one or the other.
...And just where are you going to go?
“Very scared for my grand children.”
As am I.
And moving to a safer place...whether a safer state or even a safer country...is out of the question right now. The grandkids are relatively close, and convincing Grandma Moovova to move further away for our own personal safety ain’t happening. I told her I’d give it until the upcoming election and then we’d have to make some series decisions if Trump loses. His winning probably still only gives us four more years of safety.
IMHO, that evil thing is Satan and he's having a ball. God's response will be awesome and potentially terrifying.
