My last political post

Now that the elections are completed and President Bush has won and the Senate and House both have a Republican majority, I hope that our next four years will see some changes for the good.

There shouldnt be any more excuses that this or that bill couldnt get passed due to the oppisite party blocking it, this should be a time in which this Republican party shows that it has the fortituide to make changes for our country that will make a positive impact for the good on all Americans from the rich to the poor.

I hope that given this great new chance that we see them even bring about some changes that the Democrates have been pushing for as well, as they also have some agendas that I feel can help this country.

I look forward to a resurgenece of pride to our country, a joining of ranks and a commitment from the Majority and Minority to make not only a better United States but a better World.

We should all use this oppurtunity to make sure our elected represenatives know our wishes and desiers, many have become politically motavated with this election but now is not the time to cease the fight, but now is the time to turn the burners up and let them know that we will be watching and will expect them to be like good cream and rise to the top.

I would hope that we see more resources spent toward developing alternative fuels, we are but on the cusp of this new technology and it can and will lead us toward a more prosperus future with out being shackled to an area of conflict in the Middle East.

I hope that we see our country leaning toward a more practical and eviromentialy friendly construction practices, one that can make a home not only more affordable but more energy efficient.

I hope that those in our country that see the hunting and fishing communities arent the savages they think but just another needed niche in the eco-system.

I would hope that this great country can step up to the plate and show the great genarations that have came before us that we have the vision and fortitude to not only bring change but prosperity.

In closing I would like to congradulate President Bush in his win and acknowledge Senator Kerrys hard fight .

It won't be my last. I just went to a couple of my favorite rabbit spots and a big back hoe was at both of them. This was likely being paid for by government subsidies to the farmer on low crop prices plus the farmer get a large percentage of the clearing paid for by the government. So lets add it up, the farmer gets paid because there was an overabundance of crops and then gets paid again to bulldoze more ground so he will have more crops. In the meantime, another good hunting spot is gone for good. I did forget the income tax break the farmer gets on his quarter of a million handout..

Not my last one either. No different than paying unmarried inner city girls with no education money to "support" their kids who then get pregnant again so they can get more money. These kids then have no parents to teach them right and wrong and you end up with inner cities even worse than before! Great programs all. Each party has more than their share of the blame.

Coonerman1,

That is not only an inner city problem. Happens right out in rural America as well.

Unfortunately Rob, I don't see much being done about the "gridlock" in DC. Due to filibusters, etc. To have TRUE control in the senate, for instance, you have to have a two-thirds majority... that's 60 senators. The GOP doesn't have that much of a margin. Factor into this how bitterly divided Congress is now and that rules out anybody crossing the aisle to break party lines...and you have 4 more years of red-tape, filibusters, and partisan BS.

The good news is that with the GOP in control of the White House and with the edge on Capitol Hill, there is less liklihood that we will have more of our personal freedoms and rights taken from us (gun ownership, hunting privileges, etc.).

Jumping on the Farmers Redtick. Very poor taste. Why don't just stay off of all the farmers land, there won't be any problems. Very good Rob. For me, I hope Bush doesn't blame Clinton for the next four years also, that one is getting thin.

Excellent post, Rob. Thanks for sharing it.

2. English be Declarded the Official U.S. Language.

3.Return Patriotic Holidays to Traditional dates.

4.English be used in Naturlization cermonies.

5.Deny benifiets to Illegal Aliens, support penalties for employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, and call for better security of U.S. borders.

6. Alert elected officials and public of massive influx of illegal immigrants and the consequences of mass immigration. Call for immigration reform.

7. Amend the law to allow injured or disabled Non-citzen vetrens applying for Naturalization to recieve naturlization with less than three years active-duty service if injured in the U.S. Armed Forces and honorably discharged.

8. Amend Constitution to allow public School Prayer.

10. Seek legislation to oppose foreign manufacture of US flags.

11. Oppose legislation allowing conscientious objectors tax diversion from military spending.

12. Oppose changes to Title V of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

13. Illegal immigration compromises Nation Security, Apprhnd and incarcerete illegla aliens.

14. Oppose amnesty for illegal aliens.

Great post Rob, I couldn't have said it better. I only hope G.W. pulls this country together.

Redtick, There is all kinds of timber in CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Redtick, Your a good one to talk about handouts.Now you know everything about the ag.business also?You shouldnt need to much timber to hunt a fifty cent beagle,and a showdog in anyway.

Heck, Rob, your resolution didn't last 1 day. LOL.

I like farmers, I hunt with farmers, some of my best friends farm, if my daddy owned 1000 acres and was going to give it to me when he died, I would be a farmer. No, no new house built by some overpaid healthcare person spending his oversized tax cut by building a new house in my favorite hunting spot. Just some farmer spending his subsidies in a way to use it as a tax break. We have some farmers that own over 2000 acres of prime Illinois farm land that get over a quarter of a million a year in subsidies. They use part of that money to destroy what little wildlife areas that are left into more farmland to grow more corn to get more subsidies. Heck, if I farmed 2000 acres, I would want it too. But, I am a hunter who soon won't have anywhere to hunt.

The bottom line with me is that there soon won't be anywhere to hunt.

Well Dave I thought about it and

it seemed that maybe some ideas needed to be brought up that I thought might help our country.
Notice I said ideas not complaints or belly aching!

Redtick,
I think its their land,they can do with it what they want.Plus,its none of your business.

If you have all the money you claim to, buy your own land to hunt on.

Redtick, if they bought and paid for the land then shouldnt they be able to do whatever they want with it?? Whose land is it??

shouldnt we (coonhunters) be gratefull that they let us come on there land and hunt? What would your farmer buddies think if they read this stuff your typing on here?

Dang redtick!!!!!!!!! The more I think about that the more it gripes me, do you got any idea about people getting sued for silly crap??? Do you realize the RISK the nice farmers are taking by giveing us PERMISSION to hunt there land. They must like us a lot if they allow us to do that. THEY SURE DONT HAVE TO. Us coonhunters need to make all the farmer friends we can. I KNOW I AND DAD HAVE!!!!!!!!! Thanks to our farmer buddies we have some descent places to hunt. What would we do without them?? PAY OUTRAGOUS PRICES TO JOIN THESE HUNTING CLUBS WHERE ALL THE COONS HAVE BEEN CLEANED OUT OF ANYWAY!!!!!!!! Redtick, I'm not personally attacking you, I'm trying to let you know you should THINK about what your saying. Just THINK about it. Let me let you in on something else redtick that may help you. Theres no shame in saying your sorry. I've had to a lot in my life and some times on this message board. I've never regreted saying I was sorry and moveing on. Its the right thing to do. It's what were SUPPOSED to do. What if one of your farmer buddies was reading that stuff you typed???
