Been watching the FReepers for 9 years. Never seen 'em so dispirited. [View All]

I used to go over to Free Republic for the outrageous idiocy, and admittedly there was a lunatic energy there. Whether fueled by hate or belief in Saint W., it was energetic. Now they are reduced to dreary idiocy challenging global warming, the Civil War, and most of all evolution, and whether the Earth is more than 6,000 years old.

Oh sure, there is still the occasional thread as to whether gay people should be fried or "saved" (then fried), and whether Iraq is the greatest war in history, or merely ONE of the greatest wars, but basically it's just not nearly as interesting as it used to be when they loved George W. Bush unconditionally as the Fuehrer, and felt that perjury about sex was the be all and end all of the Constitution.

Luckily, Rush is still out there to tell them that they remain interesting, and that they are right to march in lockstep. But for the rest of us, there is a certain ennui. Am I wrong here?
