I think it's great! I have an 1800s design sailboat and a horse. I can corner the t***sportation market in my area.😁
(Since I won't have to work at my real job.)

Those were great.....thanks!

“The I***ts aren’t listening” – Mark Brown (D) TN
“ As to the first you, you are to understand, That for above seventy moons past, there have been two struggling parties in this empire, Under the names of Tramecksan and Slamecksan from the high and low heels of their shoes, by which they distinguish themselves. It is alleged, indeed, that the high heels are most agreeable to our constitution; but, however this be, his majesty has determined to make use of only low heels in the administration of the government, and all offices in the gift of the crown, as you cannot but observe: and particularly that his majesty’s imperial heels are lower at least by a drurr than any of his court; ( drurr is a measure about the fourteenth part of an inch) The animosities between these two parties run so high, they will neither eat not drink nor talk with each other.
“We compute the Tramecksan or high heels, to exceed us in number; but the power is wholly on our side.” (Reldresal, Principal Secretary for the Emperor of Lilliput - Jonathan Swift / Gulliver’s Travels)
Pause and consider our current social and political climate. Perhaps it’s a good thing to not listen to our current crop of politicians - of either persuasion! There are of course a few exceptions, You my good friend can decide which and whom….
Insults and vulgarity rule the day. My first inclination is they don’t got no good education. And they aint learnt how to speak English too good neither!
Apparently now , after all these years, now? Skin color matters? The shape of my eye? My accent, the clothes I wear? My belief or lack thereof in a creator? My manner of living or the area of the country in which I live is now an issue? Huh, who knew?
We elected a President because a majority of people thought he could do a better job, or maybe change the course of the country. Yet instead of giving the man a chance to succeed or maybe even trying to help a little, let’s just pile on and destroy the man – and the country while we’re at it.
Many of these people that have never pulled an honest day’s work in their life now feel they are uniquely qualified to help themselves and encourage others to help themselves to my assets?
So next you’ll tell me I have to break my boiled eggs on the big end only?
Well just so you know, I intend to break my eggs as I damn well please!

That was great !

Don
I am so sorry for your loss.

You cannot legislate morality,
If man is angry and determined to k**l he will use what ever is at hand.

I will not address this to any one particular set of people, you know who you are.
I am truly fed up with being labeled and insulted by the various News services, Op-Ed writers and of course politicians in general. It is obvious that many of you have no idea what life is like outside of your own little circle.
Of course you go out and interview, take polls and the like but really, you have no idea. I’ve watched as you (speaking of labels) yes, you people have systematically torn my country apart.
Education, Medicine, the very social fabric that holds us all together has been destroyed by you. Everything that has made this country great is under attack by you and your ilk.
Of course you are far more educated than we unwashed masses could ever hope to be. We could never understand the deep learning and knowledge that your kind has attained.
This is obvious because we can see the unbridled string of successes you have had in social engineering, diplomacy and all the other hot button issues. I need look no further than the payroll taxes taken from my weekly paycheck to become angry all over again.
So here are a few issues that perhaps you could explain your reasoning to me.
A gun is a tool period. I don’t have the free time or the inclination to hunt. If someone is so inclined, great!
If I am doing carpenter work on my farm I will likely use a hammer and a saw. Both are potentially lethal weapons and a danger to the user as well as any bystanders if used incorrectly.
If the Coyote is stealing my chickens or worse threatening my grandchildren I will use a gun to eliminate the threat. I’d rather hope the fence will keep him away, but sometimes they slip through. I h**e to harm anything if there is no need.
Domestic arguments and other disagreements will come and are usually best solved by walking away, cooling off and most of all by love and respect.
Of course we all disagree at times, but to harm or k**l another person is beyond my understanding. Thanks to the moral breakdown that, really, you have helped to create, well bullets are flying!
You say we cling to our religion and guns? Until you can prove me wrong, I will trust in a divine creator, and a 12 gauge to guard my animals and my family. At times there may be no one else to call. This should not be an issue with you, since you tell me we are nothing more than a mass of cells evolved from a ____? Well wh**ever it was. Be sure to let me know when you come up with the answer to that question please, maybe I’m wrong on this one.
Meanwhile I will believe in my “fairytale” God.
You say we are unlearned, stupid? But then I see you seem to be a little short on answers yourself! It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Was it Goebbles that said if you repeat a lie loud enough and long enough, it becomes the t***h?
Does it ever occur to you there is another life outside of your little world? Not everyone is really interested in all your ideas and theories.
Can you even understand the cycles of tides and moons, how do all the animals live? How do the plants grow? Where does your food come from? If the store and restaurant is closed – what will you eat?
Can you fix things and solve problems? Again, I’m looking at your track record here. I see a big no here.
Cause and effect
Oh Yea and instead of trying to control animal our instincts you would tell me anything goes? You tell me things that are un-natural are perfectly normal? The lengths you will go to convince me of these things would be comical – if they weren’t so deadly serious to folks. Instead of setting boundaries you say follow our feelings. After all of that you come up with some really cockamamie excuses as to why these actions have undesirable consequences. Your teaching has destroyed our families and yes, in our ignorance or because maybe we got lazy, we have allowed you to train our children according to your wishes. Nice job!
You would have us all live in a plastic world. A plastic ,make believe world that you have created and of course you must rule over. A world where everyone is a winner and no one gets hurt. Well, except for a few undesirables. We can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs now can we?
Your entertainment and pharmaceutical industries will keep us numb so we don’t ask too many questions. No need for us to think for ourselves, no need to take responsibility for our lives. Your desire is to make us weak servants to you, the rulers.
Why have you given away our technology and our industries?
Why would you expect me to accept another privileged ruling class in this country after my ancestors fought to o*******w a King?
Why have you made my money worthless? And make me a s***e to your system at the same time?
I think I know the answer to these questions , but it would be nice to hear what you have to say.
Yes it is true, this country has done some terrible things – but why can’t you mention all the good things we have done as well? Why must you continue to fan the flames of hatred?

That’s all I have for right now,
Shalom!

Thank you , great post! The answers seem simple but most just ignore the obvious!

Great post Don ,
I feel the same way , having worked my entire life .
