Supreme court vote

[guesswho]

Ok, let me get this straight (no pun intended).

I can't take my Wife or Grand kid's to a store and buy a Confederate Flag license plate for the front of my hunting truck or any Dukes Of Hazard toy's with a Confederate Flag on it.  I can't even fly a Confederate flag at a NASCAR race.  But I could go and have Willy removed, change my name from Ronnie to Rhonda and become a role model and stand a chance of getting my own "reality" show.  And a man can marry another man, or a woman can marry another woman, and they can go adopt a baby!    And some people consider this progress?

The Supreme Court overstepped its authority. And whatever happened to Democracy? This is something that should be on a voting ballot to be decided by the American public

This! And it was voted on in many states not long ago, and most states voted to not allow it! The thought of where our country is headed and the thought of how corrupt our government is makes me sick, almost as sick as the thought of a gay couple...

As the song goes,..."The times, they are a'changin'" ladies and gentlemen.  We can either accept that and adapt,...or we can grit our teeth, stick our heads in the sand, and suck it up until we choke on our old attitudes. 

When I was young,...which was quite some time ago,...I used to drive around with my guns hanging in the gun rack of my pick-up.  As I got older, I began to think,...."hmmm, those guns might be giving people the wrong idea of what I stand for". 

Well, I still have my guns, and still do everything I used to do with them,...I just don't have them hanging on a rack where other people will see them and get the wrong idea about who I am because of them. 

What I want others to know about me is that I am a responsible hunter, gun owner, and a responsible participant in our society in general,...and when I get the opportunity, I show them that that is who I am and what I stand for.  But I do it without using symbols that, before I even say one word to them, makes them think that I stand for something that I do not.  I will not ever again run around with my guns in a rack in my truck.  Not because I no longer support gun ownership, but because I do not want the general public to jump to conclusions. 

The moral of this story, for those of you that are still here following it, is that we, as hunters and gun owners, need to choose wisely what symbols and ideas we cling to as the world changes around us.  To do otherwise only hurts ourselves in the long run.

End of sermon (for the moment)

You've convinced me.   I like Women, but to avoid projecting that image I'm going to buy me a poodle and some bright colored spandex and start wearing lipstick.  Oh, and I'm trading the Tundra in for a mini cooper!  Going to put you on my mailing list too!  I know you want pictures.

Wonders never cease.  The times they really are a'changin!  ....And as for those pictures, please hurry them along,...can't wait to see them.  As a matter of fact, you show me yours and I'll show you mine. .....Uhhh, that's another thing I used to say to the women when I was younger.  I've given up on that, too...

I haven't been watching the news.  Did something happen?

[Gooserbat]

Just in case you care you can go to Walmart and buy a cake to look like an IDIS flag but not a Confederate Flag.

Yep, and sponsored by Froot Loops and Lucky Charms.    Oh, and it's an electric car

you saw that garbage too huh.

It is a sad time for our country for sure. It seems that I'm supposed to be ashamed of being a straight white male, who carries a gun, believes in God, kills things to eat, stands with my hand over my heart for the national anthem, supports our troops, and believes everyone should earn what they get. Well I am not ashamed of who I am or what I believe and I refuse to hide it or apologize for it. I have always and will continue to speak my voice at the ballot box and hope that someday things will return to the way our fore fathers intended them to be.

Rant over....

WOW THIS IS GETTING GOOD

I guess the next thing will be a person can marry a dog

Legally, you can now. The case heard before the court was not to legalize gay marriage. It re-defined marriage, so you can marry whatever you want to. I myself prefer Dodge Dakotas...
