No problemo beckysueb,
I have noticed that it seems as if the Free Republic website has been infiltrated by elements who don’t seem to subscribe to the tenents of what this site is all about. I first came to this site several years ago and participated in various forums, but quickly grew tired of all of the bickering. I then took a couple of years off from accessing the Free Republic Forums until the Virginia Tech massacre occurred last month (I was curious about what the intense response would be).
What really surprises me is the large influx of new Free Republic members who seem to be here only to agitate others with far left or liberal viewpoints ... I thought that this was a Conservative Issues Forum. I’m not a conspiracy theorist or a paranoid individual, but it seems like there is an infestation of some type going on.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion. It just sort of amazed me that Freepers are no longer on the same page. And what is the worst is that anyone who tries to stand up for whats right or has a different view is called names and made to feel like a jerk. I took a break from FR for awhile, too, but I came in one day and got hooked all over again. I guess its time for another break. I just think that some people are so misguided and if we can touch even one person then we have done good.
