To say "flooding the site" is hyperbolic and hysterical. It's a matter of you taking offense at posts you just hate. You don't seem to understand those rants and grievances are directed at people who keep us divided. Those people support vilification of their opposition and resort to witch hunts to obstruct their opponents opinions and work. Some people seem to take offense when I point these things out. They are the one's who keep us divided, not me. People who constantly attack the messenger while constantly avoiding an intelligent refutation of the subject matter, are not trying to solve an issue and move towards unity, they are trying to push an agenda by silencing opposing views and misdirecting the conversation. I however, am aware of that, so it doesn't intimidate me.

You need to realize you continue to confuse your opinion with facts.

Who's a moron?

One of the problems with our government is, power is in the hands of people who do not pay any price for the damage they instill on others. Sooner or later, more people will be killed by bears in NJ and the people responsible will not be held to account for it. At least one man has already been killed by a black bear on public land in NJ a few years ago. People living in those bear areas have to stay indoors as much as possible to stay safe. Their kids and pets are always in danger and their garbage containers are expensive and a pain to use. Farmers in these NJ areas hate black bears and suffer lots of damage at high cost. Trying to have bee hives for honey in NJ is an exercise in futility. Yet, the elected hacks pander to the loudest screams of radicals. Oh, BTW, they are Democrats. When the GOP had Christie in the Governors office, bear hunting was allowed again. Murphy is another Goldman Sachs Democrat just like Corzine was. Both are mega rich and Corzine set up some hedge fund after leaving office that "misplaced" millions of investors money. He is now off the radar and no one seems to know where he is, but I'll bet that's where that missing money is too.

I can't help but notice the folks who don't like my post about witches, were the same one's supporting the witch hunts against Trump for 4 years. What do you make of that?

1 in 500 tested positive for COVID when they died. That doesn't mean 1 in 500 died from COVID and CNN knows it. But the fear mongering and propaganda must go on, and so we get reports like this all the time.

It has nothing to do with fear or fighting. It has everything to do with freedom. You're free to choose whatever path you wish. I choose to warn you your vote will determine if you're free to follow the path you wish. You're free to ignore the warning and suffer the consequences of your own choices. I'm free to then tell you I told you so. Your free to tell me I was wrong. Either way, we are both still free. But many people are voting to put people in power that will destroy all of this freedom. I cannot sit by and ignore people who are doing that.

One of my friends told me about a powerful lesson in her daughter's high school class recently. They're learning about the Salem Witch Trials, and their teacher told them they were going to play a game. "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade." The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought gave off even a hint of guilt. "Okay," the teacher said. "You've got your groups. Time to find out which ones fail. All witches, please raise your hands." No one raised a hand. The kids were confused and told the teacher he'd messed up the game. "Did I? Was anyone in Salem an actual witch? Or did everyone just believe what they'd been told?" And that is how you teach kids how easy it is to divide a community. Shunning, scapegoating and dividing destroys far more than they protect. This is how the US has become so divided. Individuals and groups the elites want to control are vilified. Do not allow the political elite to divide us. We must remain united against those who would do so.

This will turn out to be a $237 million failure and they will scream it would have worked if they had thrown more money at it. I predict it will become another billion dollar waste of tax money on a naive program that understands nothing about the problem. Meanwhile, responsible gun owners will be made scapegoats for this failed program and forced to pay more oppressive gun taxes to support it.

Remember the last time?
