I'm confused- what part of his post (I'm assuming your referring to Grouses when I say this, btw) was demeaning? Not that he cant be-as many are on here- from time-to-time, but where in this particular instance, I'm wondering? He's just ,very generally, stating that many adopt a point of view based on a preconceived narrative theyve adopted and , rather than search for the truth, instead look for evidence to validate their belief system (At least, thats the way i interpret his comments lol).

Yes, and it applies to both sides, of course.

Who doesnt support reasonable pro-enviornmental legislation? I think nearly everyone on both sides of the political spectrum does; where they differ is in what constitutes "reasonable" and "prudent".

If you and Grouse actually met and had a substantive discussion, Im sure you could fnd some common ground on certain issues and agree to disagree on others. I mean, hell, we know you both have at least one thing in common: you like to hunt, right!!

Well, Im not sure who you are referring to when you suggest anyone on here models the caricature youve described; in fact, i've never heard anyone else make this assertion but you. I'm sure this isnt your backhanded way of suggesting that they are inextricably linked, correct?

Who would believe that it was in the first place?

Absolutely not true; quite the opposite, in fact.

I unequivocally and emphatically refute your contention that anyone, simply by being politically affiliated any particular political party and/or ideology, could accurately be so labelled- I mean, isnt that a form of bias at its very core? Your description could easily describe countless individuals of both major political ideologies and has nothing to do with the ideology , in and of itself.

Im wearing long johns sprayed w/ Repellent year round now because of them. Theyll attach but they cant get to your skin. As soon as I get home, throw em in the dryer cuz heats supposed to kill em.

Since when ?

What’s up Mike ? Haven’t seen you on here in awhile !

Well said , Grouse

Sterling is hit pretty hard during deer season , IMHO, but hey- I'd still give it a try. Listen to Blackbelt cuz I think he knows it better than most on here.

No , her opinions and positions were undermining the party- simple as that. Regarding the election stuff , Nothing has been proven false yet. Conversely , nothing has been proven as true yet either so , when discussing this , I try to be careful how I characterize my contentions . I say I believe that there was fraud and have seen some evidence supporting that point of view , but I don’t know it . BTW - do you remember what the Democrats did to Bernie in the past 2 elections ? Fealty to their fave candidate appears to be quite into to the Democrats as well IMHO .

Accepting the new President - which I I have done , albeit grudgingly - Does not equate to believing that some serious election Irregularities occurred last time around which may have affected the outcome. Be that as it may , What does that have To do with the topic of discussion , Liz Cheney , and her removal from leadership in the Republican Party? She was removed because the majority of members (who are her constituents, mind you)agreed that Her leadership ( due to her stance on key issues related to the former Prez) no longer Accurately reflected their own , majority wise . What’s wrong with that ? Are you hoping that she will now join the Democrats due to this snub? I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting. Also , Back to the election stuff, your characterization of anyone who believes that election fraud occurred last time as needing to “ grow up” , well... that attitude is part of the problem in politics today in this country and is Precisely why we can’t get anything done.

Very weird !!

Perhaps , but at times( more often than not , actually ) they can be Hard to love !! Lol

No , because she refuses to accept the truth about Nov 20 th and Jan 6 th

I disagree , She was cancelled Because she no longer represented The interests of her party effectively enough .

BTW, Where did you get that Info?

Figures, just look at all the anti Asian incidents happening in the city currently - are any of them white perps? None that I’ve seen - all black males , mostly in their 20s - 30s . Media won’t talk about that , though ( well , except FOX) , cuz It doesn’t fit the racist white people narrative .

Woke up this am and, as always, scanned the headlines on my phones news feed - what I saw made my jaw drop. Apparently , many liberals took to Twitter After the rebuttal speech made by Senator Tim Scott ( R) SC . Scott, a conservative and the only African American in the Senate , was pilloried for his criticism of Biden’s proposals outlined in his address; in their tweets , many of them referred to Scott as “ Uncle Tim” . I was Totally mortified - how could Twitter allow the use of a clear and blatant racially charged epithet to be used - on its platform- in reference to a black man?! Outrageous the double standard that is blatant and obvious to anyone who is objective . This is allowed whereas Conservative users are reprimanded , some even removed from the platform for violating their policies against using racially charged language ? In my view , ALL Americans , regardless of political ideology should be outraged and deeply troubled by the blatant bias Evidenced here ; more importantly , however , in how Senator Scott is being treated by those who purport to be against racism and constantly accuse the right of being racist . Really ? I guess he’s not black enough or something ? Wow!! Last week, a member on here posted a meme that was mildly racist - I think that, in retrospect , it was harmless and he just meant it to be funny , but nevertheless , a number of us called him out on it. And This is how it should be . Let’s see if our liberal brethren are equally outraged by clear and blatant bias Evident here .

Well, i wasnt talking about that- I was referring to the anti-Reagan message on the bottom of your post. When I first opened it, I didnt see the pics of your gun, so i thought they were links to an article or something about Reagan and Beirut. Pics are cool though, I definitely like that !!

First of all, I dont even know if this is an accurate account, but more importantly, Why are you bringing this up now? That was a LONG time ago, almost 40 yrs. IMHO, Reagan was a great President and a tremendous leader- sure wish we had him now!!

Definitely, great post !!
