Good points. After being involuntary confined to hospitalization with television the only medium I was shocked to see how easily one can become deluded by the trash that passes for news - something I would NOT have recognized without years of Free Republic and the general wisdom and insights of it’s members.
Free Republic is a vaccine against ignorance and purposeful propaganda. It’s also an island of sanity in a reality where I have to check too often to see if I’m reading actual news or the Babylon Bee. My sincere thanks and appreciation to you all who’ve expanded my knowledge and awareness over the years with your contributions, help and different perspectives.
Hope your hospitalization days are over, and you are now enjoying good health. I’ve been here a long time as well, and I’m not about to let ignorant people chase me off. If a person can’t get a laugh-a-day on Free Republic, then they’re doing something wrong. And we can all use a good laugh every day.
Preach it!
