I see, and are you ok with Twitter banning conservatives just because theyre conservatives?

Yeah, Just saw it on the news...too bad. He was one ina million

Very touching

Well, I certainly understand your cynicism and truly hope that youre wrong --only time will tell, I guess.

Man, would I love to catch one of those on a fly!!

...and that is clearly inconsistent rationale and perhaps, hypocritical to boot; but lets not be inconsistent and hypocritical ourselves, I say. Many on here have decried the tactics currently being used by the left to marginalize us conservatives: banning people on Twitter based on their views, calling for deprogramming MAGA supporters, refusing to do business with MAGA supporters, etc...nonsense such as that. And theyre feelings clearly have merit as I feel the same way. But lets not turn around and justify the same activity or tactics being used by conservatives against those on the left because THAT IS HYPOCRISY and it has no place in this world. We are above that crap and always will treat our political opponents fairly and with respect and dignity; likewise, we demand--and expect--such treatment to be reciprocated...or am I being too optimistic?

Read Grouses post--he appears to be talking about EVERY Biden voter , I believe, regardless of what motivated them to vote for him. Thats why I was seeking clarification, because I think that is extreme. The actual number of activist/ anti 2nd A types are a rather small contingent, ill bet, in the democrat party, but admittedly, I dont know know that for a fact. If I'm wrong, then we're in trouble, for sure .

Wow!! Sweet fish!! I've never caught a Tiger or regular Muskie; still on my to-do list. I fished for- em a few times up by the dam in Massena but never caught shit--well, except some nice Smallies and a few Walleye , so it wasnt a total skunking I guess!

My friend, you and I agree politically on virtually everything--youll get no arguments here about Trumps Presidency and the MAGA movement in terms of what it did for this country. All am I'm saying is that I wouldnt be so quick to assume that nearly 80 million voters (probably less than that in reality cuz they cheated!! but lets use that number for arguments sake)are "evil" and "your enemies" just because they voted for an alternative candidate--thats all. If the guys on here that are left of center are representative of the vast majority of left-leaning voters out there, then I believe that we could definitely find ALOT of common ground as it pertains to most issues, including the 2nd A.

But who exactly constitutes "The Evil" is my question? Are you just including extreme left-wingers in that characterization, or anyone who voted for Joe Biden? If so, thats ALOT of fellow Americans youre classifying as "Evil" and , I'm Sorry, but I just think thats very extreme. Do you think that the guys that are left-of-center on this forum fit into that category also? I dont--I think they just have an opposing point of view and if things actually got that bad, they'd have your back. And Isnt that the same kind of rhetoric that alot of left wingers are using against us right now? You see, if both sides continue to demonize the other, using language like " They 're evil and must be destroyed"(and trust me, many of them feel just as strongly as you that we're the evil ones, not them) , then there is no chance of finding common ground , or having a real conversation; and as a consequence, were definitely sure to fight. Who would win? The Chinese IMHO

Yeah, very nice deer; have you seen him (her) before? How do you know its a buck?

Thanks , man and I got you. I’m sorry that you’re attacked too ; I wish that didn’t and wouldn’t happen as well , but it does . You vote for whoever you damn well please , I say ! What can be more of an American Sentiment than that , right ?!

Well , i don’t think that’s the point though . My belief is that it is wrong to disqualify a potential patron Of a business based on their voting patterns and sets a dangerous precedent . If this becomes the norm , then our democracy is in serious danger , I fear . The Dems started it with the Twitter / Google / Amazon nonsense which is wrong , And now it continues . Eventually , it will be nearly impossible to exercise ones suffrage without persecution in some way , shape or form And that is disturbing . And Ultimately , we’ll end up like the Soviet Union or China , with one choice only, but hey, at least it’ll be easier cuz everyone’s voting the same way !!

It is if your honest in your response

You’ll never grind the left into dust — it will never happen , same as the reverse will never happen to the right as well. There will always be opposition , Or opposing points of view in any given electorate , and that’s actually a good thing ... well , it is most of the time , at least . I think think we need to stick to our principles 100 % or the time when dealing with our political opponents and try , as much as possible , to find common ground . Once we become real people to them , it’s much harder for them to demonize us , much the same in reverse As well. That’s the only way we’ll win this struggle and I am confident that we will .

Well, probably not, but I'm not talking about gun control necessarily here--I'm talkling about excluding others in a business situation based on who they voted for. I think thats wrong...period. Again, I understand the ammo companies point of view--hell , I'm inclined to agree with them and would feel the compulsion to do the same if it were my company. But its the wrong approach , I believe because it results in oppressing others because we ourselves are being oppressed (well, at least potentially we are ). All I'm saying is that it could trigger a never ending cycle of retaliation. The Dems never seem to take that into consideration when they make choices because many of them--especially their current leaders--have no honor, but we do... right?

Conservatives will not win with this approach--essentially, becoming that which you abhor. I like to think that we are better men than them and can transend personal feelings, avoid visceral responses based entirely on emotion. A new Tyrant replacing an old Tyrant results in the same outcome for the citizenry: Tyranny.

Yes, I have but I would invoke the old adage "Two wrongs dont make a right" in reply. I'm with you in sharing the anger and frustration for all that they (i.e., the Left) do and the hypocrisy they engage in , but I do feel this is the wrong approach. It could ultimately degenerate into a "tit-for-tat" type of dynamic which is never ending and lose-lose for all and, sadly, is likely to IMHO.

Very nice!! Glad to hear it

Sounds like a good time; wish I could make it... LMK if and when you go to Delaware; I probably could do that much sooner than an Oswego trip at this point

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and invite scorn and rebuke from you guys and disagree with their stance. Let me tell you why: EVERY privately owned business has a right to do business with whoever they choose --that is clear. But do you really want this precedent to be established where businesses are asserting this right everyehwere and anywhere? This will open a floodgate IMHO and it a slippery slope. When if a bunch of libtard restaraunt owners decided to throw your butts out cuz you voted for Trump? See what I'm saying? Also, if you support their perogative to survey their customers and disqualify those who voted for Biden, does that mean you support the right for Twitter to summarily ban many conservatives the way that they have? Or google and Amazon based on business moves that theyve made? If you were against that then i would say your position appears hypocritical, although its not "quite" an apples-to-apples comparison because Twitter holds a monoply on social media and can effectively silence those they ban. In contrast, this ammo company in Michigan does not hold a monoply on ammo purchasing so those Biden voters could, conceiveably , go elsewhere for their ammo if they wanted.

I just saw his unrepentant, defiant ass on FOX; blaming others and circumstances, anything but himself. He is an absolute scumbag and truly hope he goes down for whats he's done.

I think(not sure though) he said it all came out on the internet the night of the election on one of the social media platforms but was quickly removed . Yeah, That part is kinda nebulous; I would like more clarification as to how he obtained the info myself.

Hope you're right, cuz he deserves it.

Cool ,I just signed the petition. If ever an impeachement of an elected official was warranted , it is now.
