Its already starting, morons bringing politics into a hunting/fishing outdoors website. They cant keep things separate, thats what turns me off, people cant keep thier opinions to themselves. no matter how you feel about the president, you feel compelled to infect all this propaganda on a hunting website? pathetic
Didn't mean to 'turn you off', but unlike you most folks who post on hunting and fishing websites are very concerned about what's going on right now in this administration...and to try to separate hunting and fishing from politics, since these rights are under attack, is not only foolish but impossible as hunting and some of our constitutional rights are inextricably linked. But then again, living in fairyland world is what this president would love us to do...just go away and he'll take care of all of it. Yeah, right.
And, if you'd pay attention, other posters on this site have expressed the same concerns. There are a number of freedom-loving citizens here who happen to see 'the forest for the trees' you might say. And they've seen it for some time now.
If you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend everything's rosy, you indeed have that right. But, if you think you have the right to infect this site with insults just because you don't agree with what's posted, you're dead wrong. THAT's what's pathetic here!
Couldn't agree more with David. We and our lifestyle are under attack. If we sit idly by and do nothing we will lose. Democrat or republican, makes no difference our freedom is in danger, courtesy of the wackos that are running this country. I just hope we survive this bunch of kooks.
David, Im not saying youre not entitled to speak your opinion. I really just am fed up with people and all thier lies. From everybody. And what im really sick of, is people who believe something just because of what thier buddy said or some stupid email thats circulating the internet. I own a computer network business, and i dont hear anything more from my customers about how Obama is going to take our guns, or put serial numbers on bullet casings, or tax us $50 per gun. If you believe that trash, YOURE AN IDIOT. My whole arguement is this, put up or shut up. If youre not going to help fix the problem and just complain about it and himhaw, than shut the hell up. I mean no disrespect and Im not speaking directly at you, its just like thechamp said if we sit idle than we lose, just that, do something or shut up. Because 75% of all the crap you hear on the news and from emails and heresay, its complete phony. Im not on anyones side here, but ill tell ya, Mr. Obama isnt just going to come in and wave a wand and fix all the crap Bush screwed this country up with lies and corruption. If what he does scares you, than stand up for what you believe in and do anything you can to change it. Mobs of people dont change anything by just sitting around the campfire bitching about whats going on, they act. And the fact that what you believe in is not what Im against...its the constant complaining from people who just want to split the country apart. Thats all this does, join Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity in the fight to tear this country right down the middle. Nobody wants to hear others complain and wine about whats goin on. Thats why Obama got elected, because he was the one talking about the change, im not saying hes going to do it, but thats what people want, change not the same old complaining with no solution. Like I said, i mean no disrespect but you voiced your opinion and said I have my head in the sand? I just cherish the time that I dont have to listen to this crap, and hunting is the major one where I get away from all the garbage of the world. Ill be on this earth for 90 years at the most, and there is little chance of me changing what the world is or will be, im just raising my kids, working my craft, and enjoying my time here, put up or shut up.
I beg to differ...let's deal with facts here and not emotions, and leave all the name calling off the table, OK? I'm no idiot, and neither are the vast majority of folks who differ from you. Frankly, your post doesn't make a lot of sense because its all over the place. So we're going to take it from the top.
Let's start with Obama's stated positions on the second amendment - link here. If you want to debate point by point on these quotes, or any of Obama's quotes on this subject, line by line, I'd be happy to. Fact of the matter is no government has the right to dictate if and when its citizens can defend themselves. And, this guy is pure-d dangerous when it comes to his opinions of government and the governed. Hence one of my reasons for posting the video.
Next let's go with microstamping which you say is trash...its included as a provision of the CIFTA treaty (Spanish acronym for Inter-Amercian Treaty Against the Illicit Manufacturing and Trafficing in Firearms, Explosives, and other Related Items) which Obama supports. Ficticious? Read here.
And the next 'trash' item of higher gun taxes? While Obama hasn't proposed anything (yet) this is an example of what he did in Illinois, link here. There is every reason to be concerned about what he will do in this arena.
There's much more I could add to these, but at least its enough to show that this 'trash' you speak of is anything but.
Now, let's address your statement about putting-up or shutting-up. Most of us don't go on this site to brag about the phone calls we've made, emails we've sent, petitions we've signed, or meetings we've attended when it concerns pending legislation, not to mention the candidates or organizations we've contributed to, or even helped campaign for. But, I can assure you that 95% of the people who frequent this site have done these very things, some several times over. That's what responsible citizens do. And you talk about fixing the problem? When it comes to the Second Amendment Obama's policies ARE the problem and most of us ARE trying to do something about it. And, part of doing something is telling and informing others - whether it be on this board, on the airwaves, or face to face, because we're sure not going to hear about it from the mainstream media...they have their own agenda, and their level of bias has been proven again and again (examples here).
If I were to take your comments literally are you saying then that anyone 'complaining' about taking away Constitutional rights is somehow tearing the country apart? What? If true then I guess the colonists should have just shut their mouths and let the English run over them, right? By the way, do your homework...the war for American independence started over gun control, at Lexington.
Am I making this up? Am I lying? Am I just believing this stuff because Limbaugh said it? You be the judge. I'm willing to discuss ANY issue you want to bring to the table when it comes to Obama's position on the Second Amendment, as well as his unconstitutional views of government. But, whatever we do let's deal with FACTS.
I'm genuinely sorry that this grieves you...frankly I'm sick of it too. But, its from the standpoint that I'm disgusted that any legislator DARE infringe on my family's right to keep and bear arms, and therefore our right to defend ourselves as well as hunt. And, I want this right kept for my sons and their sons. Therefore, it's worth sticking-up for.
Franklin said "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.". My questions to you are these: What have you really given up in order for you, as you put it, to just "get away from the garbage of this world"? and, If you simply try to avoid the conflict we're in right now, what will you leave your children by avoiding it?
He will be gone in 3 years, I doubt he'll do anything about it by then when he's too busy getting us out of a hole that Bush put us in. After that, there will be another Republican moron to work the system and get paid like the rest of em. Since you are all about facts, and you are so knowledgeable, why dont you RUN for president and change this country instead of being another armchair quarterback ? Here's a fact for ya, this country was built on Freedom. And now its turned to GREED! Everyone is out for themselves, and if you are worried about Obama taking your guns, worry about all the other assholes that took all your(our) money with the wall street bailout. Theres a fact for ya, heres another one: WITHOUT MONEY, YOU CANT BUY GUNS. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Lemme see some links to some of the shit your perfect president Bush did while he was in office, but ohh I forgot, hes so great because he didnt say nothing about the second amendment? What the hell is wrong with you SHEEPLE? You head is buried in the sand.
Bwahahahahaha!!!!! LOL And where are all your facts from? FOX news? or some dumbass who doesnt like Obama either who wrote that article? I dont see any references to anything>? Just dumbass websites like GUNCONTROLKILLS.COM? hahahaha youre funny man, really funny. You typed up that whole article and put some one sided facts in there? get some facts that arent from hillbillies in LA and thier views on Obama and guncontrol. Youre too funny man. Gimme a break.
David, ignore the infidel. While his head is buried in the sand we will rejoice in our freedom granted to all CITIZENS of the United States of America. We understand the Constitution and that its purpose is to RESTRICT the powers of the federal government. We understand the SA is not about hunting at all. We also understand 12 trillion dollars is a heck of a lot more than 3 trillion. We know that the libs/feds have their eyes on our guns, investments, retirements, homes, farms, gold and silver. When they come after these it will be th SA that freedom minded AMERICANS will be behind in full force. Besides both 41 and 43 were wimps. Give me Reagan anytime.
You're right. We can only hope what happened yesterday in Virginia and New Jersey is an indication that the rest of the country is waking up to what you just said.
Lord help us, we really do need another leader like Reagan.
Oh, and Mike? Facts are still facts regardless of what website they come from. I don't hear you disputing or refuting them...so far when confronted with errors in what you've said you've just changed the subject which originally, if I remember correctly, wasthe 2nd Amendment as well as Obama's view on government, which are directly related.
For the record, Obama's anti-gun stance while he was a US Senator has been well-documented. If you'd like I'm sure there are a number of sites I can reference - that one just had 'em all in one place. Thing is, you have to go to these 'LA hillbilly' sites, as you call them, because the CNNs, NBCs, and CBSs of the world don't report these type of things. So much for the media's take on 'fair and balanced reporting'.
And, if you're getting your information from just those sources no wonder you say the things you do.
BTW, if you vote as well as you analyze people you have another reason for concern. I don't watch FOX. I saw this video on Youtube then linked from the FOX website because I had some of the same concerns.
