I was told one day by a preacher to find God, before he found me. Went pheasant hunting, today. It’s all good. Heavy, man. ____________________________ Must have been one heck of a pheasant hunt. Swing, and a wiff. Best, Ted ___________________________________________________ Per usual. Don’t know what to tell you, Ted. Maybe try ice fishing. _____________________________ Might head up to the VFW today and scream at the TV with the other (mostly) SE/SW Asia government pensioners. ((Bit chilly in A2 today))

John, I'm a conservative on very few issues because the R's oppose every action we need now to maintain a livable future. As hunters, we can set aside questions of gun control. We're in no danger of losing hunting firearms. What we're in eminent danger of losing is habitat, our own and that of the game we love. In my hunting lifetime, I've seen major declines in fish, birds, and big game though the latter are doing well here now. Access to hunt is in steep decline, much of it due to declines in agricultural landowners being replaced by hobby ranchers and summer people who want to own five acres of prime winter range. On the whole, I'm fed up with dog-eat-dog, hatred- based politics, and the main source of that has just announced his 2024 run. The Dems don't do everything right, but they do try to address the big issues instead of pretending things ought to go on as if this were still 1950. You are brAin dead...

I sincerely hope Dave Weber does not delete this Off-Topic Political Thread, or ditch my post. There is a very important lesson for Gun Owners who frequent this, and other firearms websites. When a devout Liberal Left activist like rocky mtn bill makes a post praising any so-called Republican or Conservative, then you'd better do some Fact-Checking, because you can bet your best double gun that it is dishonest and disingenuous at best. Don't take my word for it, or his either. Do some searching yourself, and you will see that Michael Gerson has spent several years repeatedly denouncing and attempting to undermine Donald Trump, and the entire MAGA Movement. He has told outright lies about Trump, and about many of us here. He has accused Trump and his supporters of pernicious and persistent racism and bigotry. He has claimed that Trump's only goal was to destroy the entire Republican Party in order to satisfy some sick and selfish needs. Take a look at how this RINO Gerson has misrepresented Trumps phone call to Ukraine President Zelensky, and argues that it was grounds for Impeachment Circus #1-- https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190927/the-process-of-impeachment-is-now-inevitableThose of us who have eyes to see, and who do not have our heads firmly planted up our ass know better. We took a leap of faith and elected Trump, and most were not disappointed. He did something politicians rarely do. He kept most of his campaign promises. Trump kept inflation very low. He kept energy prices historically low, and made the U.S. Energy Independent, unlike the total disaster Biden, who is sucking the Strategic Oil Reserve dry. He renegotiated unfair Foreign Trade Deals, and brought a lot of Industrial Production back to the U.S. by lowering taxes and regulations that drove jobs away. He kept our Southern Border secure. He got NATO countries to start paying more of the enormous defense costs they were dumping on the U.S. He kept Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and our other geopolitical adversaries in check, and kept us out of costly and deadly wars. He increased wages and minority employment. He did all this and much more in only four years. And he did it all while under constant and withering attacks from Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Left Press. This does not sound like a self-absorbed man who set out to destroy the nation and the Republican Party. Very important to most of us here, but not at all to rocky mtn bill and the other Liberals who support anti-gun Democrats... Trump actually respected and protected our 2nd Amendment Gun Rights, and supported our NRA. Trump gave us THREE pro 2nd Amendment Supreme Court Justices, while Biden and his predecessor Obama gave us THREE anti-gunners who lied about their respect for the Gun Rights of law abiding citizens. That is the only reason our Gun Rights are not in imminent danger right now.... No thanks to Billy and other gunowners who vote Democrat. This is not the first time that rocky mtn bill and other Liberal Left Democrats have attempted to mislead us. Billy bashed Trump literally dozens of times here, and told us how bad for the nation he was. He said the same about every Republican President for as long as I have been here. He joined his Liberal Left Brethren in telling us how they were nothing but evil racists who were hell-bent on destroying the environment and stealing our Social Security and retirements. Funny we don't hear them now... since Biden/Democrat policies have gutted over 20% on average from 401-K's, and the dollars we have left are worth less and less every day as costs continue to rise. I am surprised that John Roberts has attempted to reason with Billy. I gave up on that long ago, and just throw the Bullshit Flag when I see him drop a steaming pile: Yep

Funny you mention that. As of January, I’m not a Teamster, either. Well, except for collecting the pension. Relax, homefries-you ain’t on the guest list. Best, Ted __________________________________________________ Anywhere.

Don't give me any of that "They're not after the hunters." crap. They are after the hunters, and all guns, now including police guns. Anyone who ranks gun control as anything other than our #1 problem with liberals, doesn't understand that "gun control" is likely to cost you your life or freedom. Maybe not next year, but some day. Gun control should be your #1 item when picking a political party. Everything else is way less important.

Don’t agree with what happened. If it makes you feel any better, the one I’m counting on is the U of M pension, which, was in pretty good shape prior to Brandon buying off his cronies, who, I happened to pay dues to. Just look at it as ROI. To me. Best, Ted ________________________________________________ That you pay for.

Gun control should be your #1 item when picking a political party. Everything else is way less important. This cogent reply from eightbore is a good rebuttal to rocky mtn bill, and to Billy's silly reply to John Robert's question about why he supports Liberal Left Democrats. And really, that silly reply from Billy also helps to explain why Billy is here to eulogize the Trump hating Michael Gerson. In his mind, there is not one good thing to say about Trump and Republicans, and not one bad thing to say about his anti-gun Democrats. The crap about the environment, game bird numbers, and access is nothing but a red herring. Game bird numbers and hunting land access did not plummet under Trump, and it has not improved under Biden. The Green weenies cannot even explain how eliminating the internal combustion engine can help, when every electric vehicle must be plugged into an unstable and insufficient power grid. They ignore the requirements for huge Lithium mining projects that will naturally consume and degrade wildlife habitat. They ignore the fact that the electricity to charge batteries largely comes from fossil fuels and nukes, so there will still be global warming and pollutants. When it comes from huge wind and solar farms, that takes habitat and threatens game and hunting land access too. And right now, we have over 2.1 million electric vehicles that pay zero fuel taxes to help pay for highway and bridge maintenance. So poor people who can't afford expensive EV's get to subsidize the rich folks who own them. So much for Democrats looking out for the poor minorities. Ha! But this Liberal mindset is the same insanity that makes them unable to see the Democrat's continual efforts to gradually take away our 2nd Amendment Rights. Billy knows damn well that many Democrats would like to outlaw bolt action hunting rifles, because the ammo they use can penetrate police body armor. But he still votes for them even though they want to take the guns and ammo he himself uses. And it's the same insanity that causes them to defend the lives of convicted murderers, pedophiles, and rapists, while fighting tooth and nail to keep an imaginary Constitutional right to kill innocent unborn babies. You can't fix it. There is no cure. All you can do is call them out, and help others to see their foolishness and dishonesty. And here, the motivation rocky mtn bill had to start this Off-topic admiration of a Trump and MAGA hater is a perfect example of how the Liberal Left operates. I hope nobody is fooled... especially by those who cloak it in fake civility. The Biblical warning about wolves in sheep's clothing is still valid today.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
