I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the FR forum is top loaded with folks that are not conservatives in the real sense, but revolutionary sepratists who are anti-government no matter who is involved. This venom spewed at the AG and Bush are just examples of the depth of this fact.

I lurked on this site almost at it's beginning and found the anti-Clinton rhetoric to be sensible and conservative. I now find the same rhetoric leveled at the Bush administration. I find this disturbing and I am re-thinking my decision to join this so-called conservative group.

I thought perhaps that a little dissent is a healthy thing however what I am seeing and reading is not just dissent, it is pure hate.

Dude, they're just soccerballing you. Don't worry about it.

pete and Laz are about as right as they come. They just have more libertarian views on this particular subject. It don't make 'em bad. And it don't make you bad, either.

Dig up some trash on the slime press, like I did. They have a harder time kicking your arguments around then. ;-)

No, but when our guys act like boobs (pun intended) we call 'em on it. Actually, I have been holding my tongue on this 'Patriot Act' stuff. There's some very frightening stuff in there. This ain't your daddy's USA any more.

I'm not going to swear out any loyalty oaths to any person. I am loyal only to ideas and ideals. AG Ashcroft is better than Reno in most ways, but I will call him on the ways he is not.

Hey! An Opus! You've got a few things you have to do first:

Start a thread. Title it Goodbye, Free Republic.
Explain you've been here for years, tell us what you've done for the forum.
Explain that things are changed, or management is no longer doing things right, or someone called you a Canadian, or something like that.
Tell everyone that you must now leave Free Republic.
Sneak back under a new screenname.
