Previously a tribute to Ronald Reagan

Cindy
Do you REALLY want to know what pissed me off? Ok, here's the list:
This was a thread in tribute to a president that many people admired myself
included.
You spoke disrespectfully regardless of the subtly of your statement what
you said was in poor taste.
You wouldn't do that at a funeral, would you? I hope not... but I don't
know.
You may feel that your comment was not harsh but to people that are grieving
it was.
President Reagan was not perfect we all know that. He was a great president
though and I had a lot of respect for him and Mrs. Reagan. When you came
into the thread with your remark it was bad timing because I was grieving
the loss of someone that meant a lot to me in many ways. He was governor
while I was growing up and the first election I was ever able to vote in he
was the president I voted for.

Ok, so then there is the issue I have taken with your generalization of
Southern folks.
You should BE so lucky as to have neighbors like mine. Your ever so quick
backstep to say that your family came from the south then you tried clarify
that you meant to just insult me.
Well, I can take it, but it is just that you classify people into one group
or another before you think about it.

I am absolutely sick to death of your anti-gun bullshit.
Until you have taken the time to get to know the people and have involved
yourself in shooting sports so that you have an CLUE about what you are
talking about then you have absolutely no business spouting off. If you had
any idea who I am and how I behave while I am carrying a firearm you would
most certainly pipe down. You know damn good and well that I am not the type
of person with a "go blow a hole in someone" attitude. The only time you
ever see me carrying a gun is either locked in a case on the way to or from
the range, out to the back field where I can shoot or if I am traveling
alone. I have taught many children including my own about gun safety and
adults both male and female. I have given all the help I can to anyone who
is interested in safe weapons handling and have handed out literature at our
National Night Out block parties to help folks know what the laws are and
how to protect their children from getting their hands guns and what they
should do if a friend has one. So don't you start talking your liberal know
nothing BULLSHIT to me lady until you have an idea what you are talking
about. It's the few morons out there that commit crimes with guns that give
guns a bad name. No one ever mentions all of the honest folks that obey the
laws and never hurt a soul.  Just because we tease and joke around about
some things doesn't mean we are serious about it. I would say that you have
shot yourself in the foot more than once on this subject.

As far as the rest, lets just talk about stupid, repetitive questions. The
most recent example is "How much would I have to pay in taxes and fees if I
bought a car out of state"? Anyone with half a brain would call DMV, but
nooooooooo not YOU. When someone here suggested you do just that, you got
shitty with them.

I don't spend a lot of time in here these days, I am too busy working here
at the place but I'll tell you, if I still lived in California I would love
to come argue this out face to face with you.

I do not represent what RAMFM is.
I represent myself.
One person with one car, an interest in Mustangs in general and an opinion
that I think anyone is entitled to. Once again you are trying to classify a
group of people by the actions of a single person. You need to stop doing
that. It's all wrong. If you don't like me, fine with me. No big deal. It's
all just words on a computer screen to people that we don't know and
probably never will.

Thank God we left California, and we did because of people exactly like YOU
and your single minded opinion of how the world should be. If it doesn't
suit YOU then it's wrong and you think you need to change it to the way YOU
want it to be.
I say Live and let live until you step on my toes and piss me off. You did
that, you stepped out of place and didn't have the character to admit that
you were wrong and just continued on trying to shove your opinion down
everyone else's throats while acting the wounded little miss innocent.

Bad news. The whole world doesn't work that way. I am not going to put up
with your lip and I am not going to kiss your a.s to shut you up.
Whine and scream and cry all day, I'm still not going to put up with it.

Don't go away, just stop generalizing and use your common sense. Hell, I'm
not here much anymore so just ignore me and I'll go away. Honest.. just
pretend I'm not here.

It's "one nation under God",

Most (99.9%) of gun owners are good people, otherwise we would have a
shooting on every corner of every street.
People who say these things just don't know the facts. Recent studies
in England showed the more gun control, the more violence there was.
Average Joe is dis-armed, and the crooks have the guns now.

If you changed your statement to "Most (99.9%) of legal gun owners are
good people" I would have to agree pretty much 100%.  It is the
illegal owners that cause most of the problems.  

There was also a study done in Australia after they basically outlawed
gun ownership which showed violent crime greatly increasing after the
restrictions on private ownership went in place.  

In Florida when they changed the laws governing getting a conceal
weapons permit to the point where almost any non-convict citizen could
obtain one if they so desired, violent crimes took a significant
decline.  Interesting trends all in all.

    Yes, she really showed her true colors and even got indignant
and  insulting when I said I didn't care to be lumped into her
Southerner definition. I really try to keep the thought that MOST
Democrats are not loud and obnoxious, and do not do things like
generalize and call names such as nickle Moore does, it's just that
the few that are really loud seem like more because they are more
noticable.

> Previously a tribute to Ronald Reagan

I work with a bunch of Liberals and they always spout off the same
wimpy-assed crap. Stop the war, tax the rich, feed the drunk on the bus stop
bench. I'm glad that I don't have the urge to go out and chant slogons for
some dying wood tick. I saw the Environmentalists get a big chunk of the the
oil industry kicked out of central California, and now people are blaming
Bush for all the lost jobs? Is it just me, or was he in office long enough
to cause the Dot Com Crash?  No President is perfect, but the office is
looked up to by children, and I say Reagan was a good example.
I agree with you Kate, and I too will be leaving Cali. I hope the North West
is a cool place for me to find some tracks to race, both my Stang and my
Go-Kart. Also look forward to some fishing and plinking.

Hey Koi!
I was just thinking of you yesterday! We have spent the last few days
working down by the pond and I was wishing you were here so I could have you
teach me everything you know :)

I would love to ask you some "pond" questions!
We even found a clutch of turtle eggs down on the dam, it was pretty
exciting, looks like our pond turtles are makin babies!
We even have one good sized snapping turtle down there, I would say he is
about 15" long in the shell. I have tried and tried to get a good photo of
him but he  is pretty shy.

How about cottonmouths?  Seen any of them yet?  I had a pond behind my house
in South Carolina, and I'd kill 3-5 cottonmouths a year (these are
aggressive snakes - not like copperheads or rattlers - they will try to get
away but a water mocassin is very aggressive and will actually chase
people).

Omg hell yes they'll chase people. I was fairly distant from one... maybe
15ft-20ft.. back at my old house when I lived w/ my parents.. and that
f.cker came straight at me & some friends. Would not stop. I remember
running as far & as fast and I could. It went down a hill & back up another
(a creek) straight after us. Scared the life outta me. I was just a kid..
but still... there have been a few other occurances too, but none nearly as
aggressive as that time.

Down in Florida I saw a water skier fall into a nest of those
beasties.  Poor girl started thrashing around like she was being
electrified.  When the rescue workers pulled her body from the lake it
looked like she had gone through a barb-wired fence she was so tore
up.

They were just here (Virginia Beach) for their 30th anniversary tour
and I got to see them live.  Unbelievable show.

The only thing wrong with a Ferrari is I can't afford one.  It is

If that scares you then stay out of the ocean. A sea snake carries enough

I got my scuba certification in the Middle East.  Lots of sea snakes in the
Arabian Sea and not so much in the India Ocean.  As long as you stayed out
of their way or gently deflect them when they are on a collision course with
you, no problem.  Just don't mess with them when they are making babies.
They get mean then, and will definitely attack!  Otherwise, they don't
bother you . . . . so I don't have any up my a.s!

We killed 4 snakes earlier this spring. Two black snakes and two that were
swimming across the water. Hubby thinks they may have been cottonmouths, but
hit them so hard with the shotgun that there was no head left on one and the
other was kind of hard to tell after it came back up to the surface a few
days later.

Kate,

Black snakes are okay.  They're non-venomous.  And they often eat
other snakes, so I'd keep them around if you live near a wooded area.
Here's some info on them:

---
Racer and Coachwhip

One of Florida's most familiar snakes is the "blacksnake" or, more
properly, the southern black racer. Aptly named for its coloration and
speed, the black racer is common in a wide variety of habitats, most
frequently in brush- or shrub-covered areas near water.

The adult racer is a slender, satiny snake, plain black or slate gray
with a white or gray chin and throat. Maximum length is about 70
inches, but most are 36-60 inches long. Persons otherwise familiar
with snakes are often "stumped" by young black racers, which are
colored very differently form the adults. For a year after hatching,
racers are slate gray with regular rusty brown blotches running down
the back. Black racers shouldn't be mistaken for the threatened
eastern indigo snakes, which also are large, shiny and black. Indigos
are much heavier, have a rusty or red chin and throat, and are much
more local in distribution.

Black racers are nervous, irritable and fast-moving. When given a
chance to escape, they generally do so very quickly. However, racers,
especially juveniles, will not hesitate to bite when cornered. They
also vibrate their tails when they feel threatened, causing some
people to mistake them for rattlesnakes.

Unlike many snakes, the black racer hunts actively during daylight
hours, one reason why they are frequently noticed. The eyes, with
their rich, chestnut-brown irises, are large in relation to its head,
betraying the racer's keen vision.

Part of the racer's success is due to its wide diet; they have been
referred to as "slithering garbage pails." Racers capture a tremendous
variety of animals, including other snakes, lizards, frogs, birds,
rodents and insects. While hunting in open areas, the racer often
raises its head high above the ground, cobra-style, to survey its
surroundings better.

Many of these characteristics are shared with the racer's larger
cousin, the eastern coachwhip. This snake can be over 8 feet long and
frequents dry, open habitats including pine flatwoods, sandhill and
scrub. It's an active hunter and quick to bite in self-defense.
Typically, its head and front quarter of the body are black to dark
brown, which fades to light tan on the remainder of the body and tail.

Got some racers in our garden out back.  They're great in the garden
because they eat what you'd normally want out of there anyway.  Just
have to watch when we're walking around back there.

WOOHOO!  It's a wonderful thing seeing someone stand up for themselves & their
rights.  It seems that the liberal left has forgotten that individual ownership
of firearms AND belief in Christianity/religion (among other things) were the
foundation of our new country.

But, we seem to underestimate the left's goal of a godless and unarmed populace
that they can bend to their every whim.  God help us if Kerry gets elected.

That was a beautiful post Kate!

Thanks Bill,
The unfortunate part is that the liberals DO something about what they want.
The majority of people choose to do nothing and that's how the liberals end
up winning.. I simply do not understand it.

So I'm watching TV news coverage of Michael Moore's appearance at the
Capitol Thursday to respond to the conservative group Citizens
United's request to the FEC to ban ads for Fahrenheit 9/11 as of July
31, and he puffs out his chest and says something like "That's the
difference between their side and our side.  They see something they
don't like and they want to ban it.  We see something they don't like
and we say, just don't go see it."

Too bad I wasn't sipping on something at the time because I could have
done a trememdous spit take.  Imagine, a liberal who says it's HIS
side that tolerates dissent while its the "other side" that wants to
suppress all opinions but its own!

Didn't we just go through a round of protests and boycotts and calls
for the resignation of the UC Berkeley School of Law professor who
authored the memo that the Geneva Convention does not apply to
civilian terrorists?  I mean, the guy's client -- the White House --
gave him a legal point to research, he did the research and he wrote
up his results, and now LAW STUDENTS are saying he shouldn't have
written the truth; he should have lied to his client in furtherance of
some higher principle.  And the penalty for not lying to a client is
that the law school shouyld fire him.

Just the most recent example of many.  But for a liberal to claim that
his side is the side of open discussion and tolerance of dissent, I
couldn't believe it.

Disclaimers, caveats, etc.:

It was wrong to contribute anything to the Reagan thread other than
sympathy and appreciation.

Many conservatives do NOT tolerate dissent.

It was a BIG mistake to invade Iraq.  It has increased the threat of
terror.  It has squandered all the international anti-terrorist
support we had after 9/11.  Its costs will soon exceed $200 billion
and climbing, 1,000 American dead and climbing, thousands more
American wounded and climbing, tens of thousands of Iraqi
non-combatants dead and wounded and climbing, and hundreds of
thousands of new terrorists and those willing to fund them, and
climbing.

It would be a BIG mistake to withdraw now.

He was one of our worst presidents, and his regime was the
most corrupt, indicted, and convicted in our history. His S&L
scam, that lined the pockets of sleazy criminals and thieves like
Neil bu$h is still costing us billions of dollars, and his
sale of weapons to Iran and then lying about it was a very
serious crime. And of course, he funded terrorists in Nicaragua
which was also against the law and resulted in the murder
and torture of thousands of innocent people. The Reagan/bu$h
era was a tragic and regrettable chapter in our history.

-snipped excess subjective history recollection-

All these damn liberals love to cite all the republicans who stated that there
were WMDs in Iraq and FORGET ALL about how their left-leaning darlings (did
somebody say Kerry...?) agreed that there were WMDs there AND supported
invading Iraq.

>Cost of probing Bill Clinton's sex life: $65 million.

-snipped-

Whatever... IIRC he was "probed" because the moron LIED.  If he'd only told the
truth HE could have saved U.S. taxpayers $65 million.

You wanna try blaming Whitewater on us too?

Reality tells me that as long as the left is giving subsidies to minorities,
poor people, etc. they can be as slimy as they want to be and keep getting
plenty of votes from the folks who want Uncle Sam to wipe their butt for them.

If I wrote something that wasn't "trueth", you'd be

As to whether or not your wrote the truth or not is a matter of
perspective & politics.  Some of the things you see as negatives
others see as positives.  I am curious as to what you have ever done
for your country that is noteworthy.

For many hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world living
under the jackboot of communism Reagan was a savior to them.  He and
his policies were instrumental in the fall of communism throughout
Europe.  Pretty damn big accomplishment in my book.  He gave our
military members pride, respect, and proper recognition for their
sacrifices & service as well.

Name one single president who hasn't has his faults or scandals while
in office.  Do you think Clinton will be afforded the same national
honors that Reagan was?  I certainly don't.
