one of our local radio guys said it took 4 yrs of carter to give us reagan so maybe the bright spot is 4 yrs of obama will give us a real conservative in 2012.

if there's anything left of the country by then. my fear is he'll import so many illegal aliens that he'll get the country well beyond the point at which a large enough percentage realize they can vote themselves the money the rest of us makes that the socialists will be unbeatable by then.

Jim:
We can roll over and play dead like they unfortunately have done in other Countries or stand up and fight. I for one choose to do the latter. We'll regroup and go forward from here. Thank God there's still enough real people in this Country with the fortitude to do so.
IMO we have become fat,bloated and far too complacent in this Country. We thought we were safe and isolated from extreme socialists and these demagogs only reared up with their "changes" elsewhere. So get ready for a four year long enema which should prove to be a catharsis for all.

Mark,

Good post. In case you missed it, King refers to it as "dialectical materialism", which is the basic philosophy of communism. He claims that ALL "free" societies repudiate it:



Life on Mars, right here on earth. It's amazing that so many have been brainwashed to the point that they don't know what non-collectivist thought is.

You're right, it's a chameleon that goes by many names. Because of that, I prefer the term "collectivism". It's the greatest threat modern man has ever faced. Our country was the last bastion against it, and it fell tonight. God have mercy on us all.

Gentlemen, you have a new President.

This forum wisely avoids party politics most of the time so I hope this will see us return to discussing our common ground- old guns.

I have friends of all political persuasions (always have had) and respect their differing points of view, especially those who are thinkers and have considered the issues individually and educated themselves about each issue rather than instinctively rail against everything outside 'their camp'.

From my viewpoint as a non-Republican, non-Democrat outsider, Bush has been an embarrassment on the world stage and America's estimation in the world has plummeted under his inept administration.

I hope that Obama presides over a regeneration of your great country and suspect that your worst fears are just that - fear. They will not manifest themselves as many of you think. I think 'Mom and Apple Pie' are safe enough and just hope that American policy is now conducted with a little more intellectual rigour by a man who is clearly intelligent and informed.

McCain gave a dignified speech and many Republican big-hitters on the radio here concede that Obama has the potential to be a great President. I hope so. Be optimistic and look forward with belief in your nation.

Dig,
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Given Obama's views and history, a little fear may be a good thing, even for his fellow party members. I hope that provides the balance.

Best wishes to our new president and may he surprise us all with the job he does. God bless America.

And back to the topic of this thread, God bless Dan Cooper for running a fine firearms company, being a great small business contributor to Montana, and for standing up for his civic beliefs.

Once again, he picked a winner.

Smart money says he'll be back in charge in under 90 days, which happens to coincide with the end of Montana's many fabulous hunting seasons. I've always wondered how I might "resign" for the hunting season....

Maybe I'll ask for help with that from these board members some day!

P.S. please please please run Sarah Palin against Obama in 2012.

Presumptuous, ignorant, and insulting, Dig, but I have enough respect for you to assume that you intended it well. I wouldn't expect a Brit to even begin to understand, and you clearly don't.

If our new President elect does a good job, nobody on Earth will beat him for a 2nd term in 2012. If he doesn't, he'll be out. Actually I'm pulling for him, but I got my doubts...Geo

Sorry if I offended you Nitro -

I meant to say; "I only like people who agree with me on absolutely everything, never listen to other people's points of view and refuse to learn through informed debate with others of different political instinct or experience because they think they are right instinctively and don't want to consider any alternative.

Oh, and I hope you all go to Hell in a handcart now that you have a Marxist loony in charge. We all look to China for inspiration now anyway."

Just joshing, as I said, I meant no offence I have too many American friends to wish you ill.
