"Then where would you go to find a group of like-minded people, standing for the values and principles of conservatism."

Real translation: Then where would you go to find a group of people who slavishly agree with Jim Robinson and tolerate no opposition to his god Donald Trump.

"And it's now more important than ever that we keep our internet communications channel well funded and in fighting trim!!"

Fighting trim? The freeper’s who once actually fought by marching on the naval observatory during Bush v Gore or occupied the corners adjacent to the Walter Reed hospital against Code Pink are long gone, disgusted by the “Pajama warriors” who are content with their snide comments and insults substituting for thoughtful debate. Although I have not been registered on the site for a long time I have been a lurker since 2000 and have commented through my wife. I was at the Texas Capital in 2000 in support of Bush against Gore. I posted sexual predator alert signs on lampposts outside where Bill Clinton spoke. I freeped Hillary outside her house in 2003. I poll watch against voter fraud. After action reports from protest freeps were an everyday occurrence. Now freepers pretty much sit on their asses.

No wonder that FR now has constant freepathons. Its members won't put their money where their mouths are or like obamaites want everything for free.

Freepers used to denigrate Democratic Underground for the intolerance it showed. Now FR is no better.

"Like our nation, our forum has never been more divided."

FR has brought that division upon itself, substituting insults and barbs for reasoned debate. How Democratic Party-like.

Now new sites are being created that oldtime freepers are flocking to. In 2013 I wrote a vanity titled “Is Free Republic worth saving?”. Sadly I'm afraid the anwer is no.

I assume this will be my final post as I expect to be banned for expressing an honest opinion

try listening to limbaugh for decades and having to turn him off more often than not because of the corner (between globalist establishment and high information audience) he’s put himself in!~

at least jim robinson and freerepublic haven’t been revealed as globalist establishment shills (erick erickson/redstate, glenn beck/theblaze, etc.) and proven a haven for the high information crowd!~

I am glad that this site isn’t clogged with choking ads. Breitbart almost qualifies as a denial of service attack.
It is one of the best sites out there to gain situational awareness or the day’s events.

You are just whining because everyone isn’t piling on for St. Cruz.

I agree with much of what you are saying, and I hope the silly season will end soon. FR should be able to tolerate support for more than one candidate (I voted for Trump six days ago, but I can do that and still admit that Cruz is a great conservative). FR should not have descended to the level where the Cruz-Trump debate centers on personal attacks. That lowering of the dialog is a big loss for these forums. The solution from here? I’m not as optimistic as I’d like to be, but I’ll continue suggesting that we return to facts and drop the personal attacks.

Yes, Cruz is still running against Trump even though Trump wants him to drop out. Yes, Trump is using name-calling as his means for criticizing Cruz. Still, we could do better. Trump will need those Cruz voters in November, and they really do have as many options as the Trump voters have. They may well stay home or vote third party in November if this keeps up. I suspect there are paid Hillary trolls stirring it up in the hope that they will take one of those options.

I hope FR and the rest of the Republican Party will wise up in time.

So let me get this straight: we’re nothing but a “group of people who slavishly agree with Jim Robinson and tolerate no opposition to his god Donald Trump” and it’s we who are being rude? How does that work, exactly?

“Then where would you go to find a group of people who slavishly agree with Jim Robinson and tolerate no opposition to his god Donald Trump.

I think you’ve made a fantastic decision to leave. I congratulate you!

First, your statement is false.
Second, you made up something and believed it.
Third, you made up something, believed it and acted on it.

Dude, you live in your own reality.

Surely, there are safe zones out there where you can feel comfortable.

I wish you well and some maturity too.

“Real translation: Then where would you go to find a group of people who slavishly agree with Jim Robinson and tolerate no opposition to his god Donald Trump.”

Well, the vast majority of people here on FR support Donald J. Trump, so it doesn’t really matter now does it? We all agree with Jim Robinson so there isn’t any “slavishness” involved at all. Quite frankly, if the reverse were true, I’d be looking for another outlet myself, because I could not, in good conscience, spend my time on a group who stood in opposition to my personal beliefs. I will continue to support Free Republic because the people here comport with my views, so if that’s not your cup of tea, you need to move on to one of those “other sites” to which you claim people are “flocking.” On top of all of that, FR is a whole lot more than just the current election. On a myriad of issues, there are substantive discussions here that help me to better undestand all elements.

I’m at least taking a break. I’m fed up with knee-jerk insult replies to comments which the insulter (often an unfamiliar name) obviously didn’t even read what I said, just lead off with an insult because that’s the way we do it now.

And I’m tired of hearing about how we have to be like the left to defeat the left, and how social issues don’t matter. I’ve seen Christians, and Christianity, insulted on this forum, something I never thought to see at FR. That’s my line.

Yeah, I know, don’t let the door hit me, yadda yadda yadda.

Please spare us, just go away. You must not post much because you are not in any way familiar.

We didn’t need your opus, just disappear like people that have an ounce of self respect do.

We ain’t all that into you.

Get it?

It is not Free Republic’s fault that the GOP, Cruz, Talk Radio, and Fox News turned out to be frauds.

Does this post mean that because you are unhappy with Free Republic your lack of happiness will shut down a forum with thousands of members?

Interesting concept.

For starters, let's get down to basics......

Now that you understand let me reply to your Post....
Click the Pic



You're a 1-bit brain with a parity error

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world.
An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.

You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.

May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you.

You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease. You are a puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool.

You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid.
Your writing has to be a troll.
Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on.
This is an epiphany of stupid for me.

After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything.

Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult.

If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

I note that as late as last week there were still plenty of Cruz supporters posting and giving as good as they got.
