Hey newbie, I'm neither an Obama copulator or a doom and gloom. I am merely knowledgable of what is going on with our finances, politics, and social society. Do you think all is rosy and fine right now? We are in one hell of a mess that we'll be lucky to turn around in our lifetime if at all.
I see you still have a spark of life in you. That's a good thing. I thought you were suicidal there for a minute, what with your talk about how "the republic is dead" and all.
I'm not picking on you personally, but when I see comments like that, I just have to wonder what on earth the poster's motivation is for saying such a thing. If all is lost, and the country has died - and there's nothing we can do about it - just what is the point of Free Republic?
Or even living, for that matter? Might as well cash it all in and party like it's the end of the world, if you really believe that. Otherwise, all you're doing is demoralizing your fellow patriots - many of whom have not lost the will to fight.
