"Big Black Scary Guns"

So I was at work today and got into a conversation about why citizens should be allowed to own assault rifles. It's simple really, they were designed for combat. Let me elaborate a bit.

I'm going to get a bit into detail here about a possible assault weapons ban. I plan on laying forth my knowledge of the guns in question, and presenting a few facts and videos.

To begin with, what is the difference between these two guns?


If you guessed absolutely nothing, pat yourself on the back. You haven’t been fed a line of crap by the media.

In fact there is NO difference in these two guns except for one is made of wood the other is made of black synthetic kydex. The bipods do not make the second gun more dangerous, nor does the plastic stock or scope. Not even the bayonet lug… name the last time you heard of a drive by stabbing. Well the pistol grip looks scary… again nothing to make it more dangerous. The Ruger-Mini 14 on top is a semi-automatic firearm that generally shoots a .223 caliber cartridge. The second firearm is one of many kinds of AR-15’s. It also shoots a .223 caliber cartridge. They are the same firearm, except for a few cosmetic differences.



Also I would like to point out automatic firearms have been banned since 1986. Automatic assault weapons ≠ semi-automatic assault weapons. There is a big difference in how they work.

Back to what I was saying previously, I could take that top Ruger Mini 14 and make it look big black and scary like the bottom one.


Yet I’m still willing to bet if I set these two firearms in front of people and asked them which one should be banned, I would bet my paycheck on the fact that they would pick the big black scary one, all because it looks scary. Never mind the fact that both firearms are the exact same thing.

I’d also like to share the fact that there are far deadlier guns out there then the wimpy .223 Mini 14. Try my 8mm Mauser that could put a hole in a steel plate from 200 yards away, or my 12 gauge pump shotgun. With the right slugs I could rip right thru the body armor of any advancing force. Yet these guns are legal in all 50 states, not true with the “Big black scary guns” remember this is the only reason they are banned in states such as New Jersey and New York… its purely cosmetic and fear.

Not even a member of our own congress knows why she wants to ban these.



These are the following features they want to ban.

* A folding or telescoping stock - How does this make a gun dangerous?
* A barrel shroud - All this does is keep you from burning your hands on a hot barrel.
* A pistol grip - My handgun has a pistol grip, it doesn't make it dangerous, it helps you hold it.
* A bayonet mount - I've never heard of a drive by stabbing.
* A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one - This is going to make a gun less deadly how?
* A grenade launcher - Purely cosmetic as live grenades (for the launcher) are class 3 items and are hard to obtain legally.

Now that we have established the fact that the ban on these guns is purely cosmetic and looks, lets look at crime rates.

Usually crime rates with assault weapons are low. Under 5% and as a Washington Post editorial said after the last AWB:

"No one should have any illusions about what was accomplished (by the ban). Assault weapons play a part in only a small percentage of crime. The provision is mainly symbolic; its virtue will be if it turns out to be, as hoped, a stepping stone to broader gun control".


Here are some points about the last assault weapons ban and how it has failed in every state it has been implemented in. Link to source

* California. In 1990, "assault weapons" comprised thirty-six of the 963 firearms involved in homicide or aggravated assault and analyzed by police crime laboratories, according to a report prepared by the California Department of Justice, and based on data from police firearms laboratories throughout the state. The report concluded that "assault weapons play a very small role in assault and homicide firearm cases." Of the 1,979 guns seized from California narcotics dealers in 1990, fifty-eight were "assault weapons."
* Chicago. From 1985 through 1989, only one homicide was perpetrated with a military caliber rifle. Of the 17,144 guns seized by the Chicago police in 1989, 175 were "military style weapons."
* Florida. Florida Department of Law Enforcement Uniform Crime Reports for 1989 indicate that rifles of all types accounted for 2.6% of the weapons used in Florida homicides. The Florida Assault Weapons Commission found that "assault weapons" were used in 17 of 7,500 gun crimes for the years 1986-1989.
* Los Angeles. Of the more than 4,000 guns seized by police during one year, only about 3% were "assault weapons."
* Maryland. In 1989-90, there was only one death involving a "semiautomatic assault rifle" in all twenty-four counties of the State of Maryland.
* Massachusetts. Of 161 fatal shootings in Massachusetts in 1988, three involved "semiautomatic assault rifles." From 1985 to 1991, the guns were involved in 0.7% of all shootings.
* Miami. The Miami police seized 18,702 firearms from January 1, 1989 to December 31, 1993. Of these, 3.13% were "assault weapons."
* New Jersey. According to the Deputy Chief Joseph Constance of the Trenton New Jersey Police Department, in 1989, there was not a single murder involving any rifle, much less a "semiautomatic assault rifle," in the State of New Jersey. No person in New Jersey was killed with an "assault weapon" in 1988. Nevertheless, in 1990 the New Jersey legislature enacted an "assault weapon" ban that included low-power .22 rifles, and even BB guns. Based on the legislature's broad definition of "assault weapons," in 1991, such guns were used in five of 410 murders in New Jersey; in forty-seven of 22,728 armed robberies; and in twenty-three of 23,720 aggravated assaults committed in New Jersey.
* New York City. Of 12,138 crime guns seized by New York City police in 1988, eighty were "assault-type" firearms.
* New York State. Semiautomatic "assault rifles" were used in twenty of the 2,394 murders in New York State in 1992.
* San Diego. Of the 3,000 firearms seized by the San Diego police in 1988-90, nine were "assault weapons" under the California definition.
* San Francisco. Only 2.2% of the firearms confiscated in 1988 were military-style semiautomatics.
* Virginia. Of the 1,171 weapons analyzed in state forensics laboratories in 1992, 3.3% were "assault weapons."
* National statistics. Less than four percent of all homicides in the United States involve any type of rifle. No more than .8% of homicides are perpetrated with rifles using military calibers. (And not all rifles using such calibers are usually considered "assault weapons.") Overall, the number of persons killed with rifles of any type in 1990 was lower than the number in any year in the 1980s.

This is proof that the ban is 1. Because of cosmetic features and 2. Not because of crime.

So this leaves the argument that citizens should not have military style weapons. I can't remember the exact Federalist paper, but I remember reading it. It may not have been a Federalist paper, but it was written by George Mason. He stated that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to make sure that citizens are armed with the same type of weaponry that a common foot solider of the time would have (or equivalent). Sure the founders didn't envision AK-47's, but they did know times would change. I'm sure they never envisioned mass media and internet, but the 1st Amendment still applies today like it did back then. The same is true for the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, it's about being able to defend yourself from tyrannical government. How good is that going to work if you have inferior weapons the the government? Thus why citizens should be allowed assault rifles.

A single shot rifle is not going to do you any good when the shit hits the fan. I would rather have the best, most reliable, highest ammo capacity firearm to defend myself (and my property) against hoards of looters, rioters or gestapo police busting in my door at 2am with no regards for my rights. The 2nd Amendment (guns) is the one right that protects all the other rights. The gun is what keeps the free American citizen from becoming a pion under the boot over over oppressive government. Without it, we would have nothing to stop over oppressive government if need be. The assault rifle is the most effective in doing so...

This leaves one last reason... people don't like them. Control freak much?

Five simple steps to revive the economy, seriously, it’s not that hard.

Obama seems to be having a hard time reviving the economy. I have a hint for you Obama, get your damn nose out of it. We the PEOPLE know how to use our money better then you do. The old saying goes “It’s easier to spend someone else’s money then it is yours” There is no way in hell I’d give my money to a failing company. Here are some pointers for you.

1. Get rid of the IRS and income tax then change it to the Fair Tax. Imagine that 20%-40% of your check that you would get and spend. I mean they take enough out of my paycheck each paycheck I could make two car payments! Imagine the sales tax revenue since you get to choose where and when you spend your tax money on products you buy (Which by the way is constitutional, because it’s an indirect tax). In our current system we have no choice, instead it goes to some government bureaucrat who wastes it on programs that don’t work. You treat your money better than they do. I don’t need some bureaucrat telling me how my money would be spent best. If government bailouts worked… they wouldn’t need to do it three times, and these companies would be doing well right now. As we can see many companies are still in the tank, if not on the verge of bankruptcy. Name one time when the government has taken over something from the private sector and it has BOTH been cost effective AND efficient… *cough* DMV…

2. Lower (or abolish) the corporate income tax from 35% to 5% this way companies and jobs will stay here. This is a no brainer. Currently the corporate income tax is around 35%, and Obama wants to raise it even more. Tell me why companies would want to stay here if they can get cheap labor in China? If you had a choice to stay in a place that cost $5 dollars or $35 dollars, which would you pick? Can you really get mad at companies for doing the same thing? If the companies stay here, that’s more people working making tennis shoes in Tennessee instead of some province in China. That’s more tax revenue and spending here in the U.S…. thus boosting the economy. Remember there is no limit on wealth, only poverty.

3. Cut government departments such as transportation, Health and Education and leave them to the states. Can you honestly say that these things are better under government control? I mean come on… been to the DMV lately? These are just tools for the over inflated government to control our lives via permits, licenses, taxes etc… for things we do in our everyday lives. All they do is waste money. Get rid of them! Not to mention most of them violate the 10th Amendment.

4. Drill for our own oil and own coal. We have trillions of barrels of black gold and coal under our very feet. The oil companies are owned by stockholders who are the American people. Many are retirees and this is their retirement. When you tax the oil companies you are giving them less incentive to drill and maintain their equipment thus giving us less oil and at more cost. Makes no sense at all. Until [U]cheap and effective[/U] alternatives (not forced by legislation) come along we will continue to use oil. If you think the oil companies are making too much money, so what? Way more is going to our oil-producing enemies in the middle east and no one seems to think that is a crime. Keep the money here and drill our resources, it’s there, but the liberals in congress pander to the tree huggers and have put it off limits.

5. Get rid of the capital gains tax. STOP taxing investors, the more you tax them, the less they invest in companies. The less money companies have, the fewer jobs there will be. Cutting capital gains tax rates is the single best tax policy to improve economic growth. Capital gains tax cuts improve the entire economy. Remember most of the share and stock holders in this nation are just regular middle class people. Capital gains tax reductions stimulate economic growth, which benefits the entire country. As President Kennedy noted, "A rising tide lifts all boats." Remember, who can spend your money better? You will invest where your money is treated well. It’s simple math.

The current state of the economy...

I had a liberal (I respect this guy a great deal, we just differ on our political views) on a forum tell me and I quote "Wall Street doesn't want anyone to stop them from plundering Main Street and Obama means to do just that. They know that he knows that greed is the enemy of egalitarianism and they're shitting themselves because they can't bear the thought of not being able to rape the middle class in broad daylight".

So what, we raise their taxes? Remember that these so called "rich" are just regular middle class investors too. It's bad enough that his tax increases on the rich will have a negative impact on American workers... but worst of all he'll raise them when the economy is in a recession (or attempting to get out of one). Either way Obama will be raising taxes on investors and small businesses... the very people who create jobs... i.e Wall Street.

It's quite simple. If you raise taxes on the so called greedy, you are raising taxes on the very people who create wealth and jobs. There is no limit to wealth, but if you put a limit on it (i.e. taxes and regulation) thats less jobs and less money in the economy. Nobody is greedier then the government bureaucrat. All they ever do is think about how to take money from you. That is what is greedy, not the "rich" who risk their capital to make sure you have a paycheck. Take that money from them, and they might as well be taking your job with it. I ask you this... if you raise taxes on the so called greedy, who would pay your salary? I've never received a paycheck from a poor man, have you?

Raising taxes on any wealth class in a recession is just stupid. I mean even Democrats in Congress are complaining about Obama's budget proposals. That says something.

10 ways Obama is going to screw up America

1. He’s going to spend your money like a drunken sailor on shore leave. It’s just going to make our debt worse. You can’t raise taxes and make debt go away. He plans on bailing more companies out, and is even for another “stimulus check”. Raise taxes in a recession on the rich, they’re going to tighten their belts and lay people off. That’s less people paying taxes to the government… I’m no economist, but less people paying taxes means less revenue, thus more debt. Less revenue and more spending, means more debt.

2. He’s going to nationalize our banks, auto industry and other companies… oh wait, we’ve already done some of that. If no one else see’s a problem with the Government owning part of the auto industry, you must be a socialist. The problem here is Government will then mandate what you can and can’t buy. That or they will make the freedom to choose your vehicle of choice extremely hard. If you’re not “green” you will be by proxy. This is a simple issue of liberty.

3. He’s basically going to sign over our nation to the U.N. The U.N. has been waiting many years to get its grubby little meat hooks on our sovereignty. They hate the fact that we are powerful and have a successful nation. Obama wants to bend knee to the U.N. and the EU socialists so they can dictate to our nation what we can and can’t do via treaties and world courts. Do you think they have the American constitution and people in mind? I don’t think so.

4. He’s going to end the war on terror. He has already stated that he wants to withdraw from Iraq. This causes a few problems and is dangerous because guess who is waiting next door? Iran. They haven’t been very kosher on the world stage as of late. We leave Iraq a very new fragile Democracy, all it’d take is for Iran to drop a few bombs and cause a little chaos, and Iraq is toast. The second problem is the terrorists will see America leaving Iraq as a victory to them. They will use this new victory to rally more troops if you will for defeating the “great evil” in the world. Our war on terror would have been in vain, and they will come after us here.

5. To add to the one above, he has said he wants to cut our military budget, and “unproven” missile defense systems. You know like the one that shot the falling satellite out of the sky? Not only has he said this, he has announced to the world what rollbacks we’re going to take with our military. If there is one thing you don’t tell your enemy, it’s how you plan to cut your military.

6. He supports the Fairness Doctrine. This is one of the major anti-freedom thing’s Obama is for. He wants equal airtime for liberal opinions. Sure it sounds great on the surface, but the fairness doctrine forces radio stations to have 50/50 airtime of both views, to make it fair. Basically the station would get flooded with calls demanding equal time for an opposing view, and people would stop listening to it as the left view is not what they want to hear and/or agree with. Want proof? Look at Air America. It fails, hardcore. No one wants to listen to it, ratings will begin to drop, and since radio stations are in it for the money their Freedom of Speech is banned by proxy. Obama knows traditional means to block talk radio won’t work, so this is his crafty way of banning the right talk radio from the backdoor.

7. He opposes civilian gun ownership. Just look at his voting record. Don’t be fooled by his silly Pro-2nd Amendment ads or speeches. This is a man that would take your guns from you if he could. He supports a 500% tax increase on guns and ammo. He wants to ban handguns and all semi-auto “assault rifles”. Again like with the Fairness Doctrine, he knows he won’t be able to ban guns by traditional means, so he’ll tax it and make it difficult to get. This is quite simply another restriction on your liberty.

8. He opposes drilling our oil, but is also against nuclear power. Both are cheap and can generate the BTU’s, but he’d rather us use unproven power sources and pay out the ass for them. Solar is not cheap, nor is wind power. Sure they are clean, but most of us have a budget to keep and can’t afford these “green” power sources. He wants to force them down our neck and not allow us to make a choice for ourselves. This proves his anti-capitalist stance. Capitalism if left unmolested will weed out what works and what doesn’t. Again, this is another issue with personal liberty. Anyone else beginning to notice a theme here?

9. He wants the Government to control everything. Education, healthcare, banks and the auto industry etc… anyone been to the DMV lately? Government run business is a blast isn’t it? Now imagine the DMV superimposed on to our health care system. 250 years of the freest country on earth is proof enough that free people can create a nation. No government program created our nation, free people did. When you start sticking Government in where it does not belong, you begin turning into a socialist Euro welfare state. Look where that left Europe.

10. To prove my above point, Obama is quite simply a Socialist. Socialism is not an American ideal, nor did it get America where it is today. To prove he is a socialist, he was voted the most liberal senator in 2007. Bernie Sanders a self proclaimed Socialist is the 4th most liberal senator. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out where that leaves Obama. Socialism as I have listed out above will ruin this country from the inside out.

Obama is quite simply a threat to our nation.

Separation of Church from Bullshit.

The next time I hear someone say we can’t do something because of the separation of church and state, I’m going to punch them. Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it mention anything about the separation of church and state. If you can find it and link me to the source, I will personally send you $100 dollars. What the constitution says in the 1st Amendment is that “Congress shall make no law establishing a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”.

Congress shall not establish a religion. Basically there is not to be a Church of the United States. The government cannot prohibit someone from freely exercising their religion of choice. It’s really not that hard to understand. There is no amendment, law or clause that says that church and state have to be separate. Someone holding a prayer in school is not establishing religion. The school board prohibiting it is prohibiting the free exercise of religion, thus unconstitutional. Having a manger scene in a square downtown is not establishing religion. The city council saying that it has to be taken down because it’s offensive to people is prohibiting the free exercise, and again, unconstitutional.

The problem I believe is we have a whole party of control freaks who like to control everything that is God centered in everyone else’s lives. The ACLU doesn’t protect freedom of religion; they protect people from the freedom FROM religion. I’m no constitutional scholar but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say in the 1st amendment that you can practice religion unless it offends someone, then the government can step in and infringe on someone else’s right to practice that religion.

Separation of church and state is bullshit. Using this as a tool to drive all God centered religion out of public life; the control freak left actually establishes an official state religion. That religion is Atheism.

Open carry reports

I've decided to clump together a log of some open carry outings. They are all past posts I've made on www.pafoa.org about my open carry interactions un-editied. Enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting story here today. On the way home from Wal-Mart to get a few things I stopped at Sheetz to get a drink, some lunch and some gas on the other side of I-81 here in Chambersburg.

As I was filling up, a truck with a camper pulled up in the vacant spot behind me. I noticed the Ontario tags. The driver proceeded to get out and filled up his tank, all the while watching me. My strong side was facing him. Afterwards I went in to order and pay for my food, he did the same. As I was standing there waiting for my order he struck up a little small talk.

Him: "Interesting you have an exposed pistol like that. Are you a cop"?
Me: "No sir, just a regular citizen"
Him: "I'm from Canada and this is something you don't see up there at all unless you're a cop"
Me: "Well the laws concerning firearms are very different down here".
Him: "Well yes, but out in the open like that"?
Me: "Depends on the state. Here in PA you can. In NY for example you can't".

We continued our conversation about carry laws in America and I gave him a flyer. He told me he had long guns in Canada for hunting, but no handguns as the laws are much more strict up there. He said its not worth the hassle. I told him some states in America are like that, but after the SCOTUS ruling hopefully things will be changing here soon. We talked for a few minutes about guns and hunting before we returned to our vehicles. Overall it was a good OC encounter. He was more curious than anything.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I finally made it to the holy grail of states for all CCers and OCers… Vermont

Actually we just got back from Maine for the week, we just passed thru Vermont. I mostly concealed up in Maine as I was around a lot of family and friends. We we’re in Winthrop just outside of Augusta for the week. We had a cabin on the lake, and we went swimming, fishing, boating on the lake, had bon fires, drank beer… it was a good time. I was pleasantly surprised to find out my uncle had his Maine CCL after telling him I went to Kentucky to the NRA convention. We chatted for a bit about CCL’s and explained to him about Maine non-resident permits which I had because he seemed confused that I was able to carry in Maine.

Besides having to disarm in NY the trip was uneventful. We made it across to Vermont where we stopped for some lunch in Bennington. I open carried my Glock and concealed my Kel-Tec P3AT sterile. It felt liberating not having to have a LTCF on hand in order to carry. No looks, not one stare. We stopped again in Battleboro for a tinkle break and a stretch, and then we headed up 91 to St. Johnburys then across to New Hampshire where I “re-permitted” myself and carried into McDonalds for some dinner. I had a few head turns from New Yorkers and people from Mass… but no police showed up, nothing. We headed over to Maine from there without stopping.

While in Maine I CCed everywhere we went (because of family), the store, gas stations, dinner etc… The only exception was when my wife, kids and I went to Rockport for the day and had some lobster lunch, I OCed with no stares at the restaurant.

When we came back I OCed the whole way to the Vermont/New York border. We stopped at a few gas stations along the way with no stares.

Over all a fun, and uneventful OC/CC vacation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So while my mom and sister were here visiting from California I decided I was still going to OC despite their objections, this is a complete list of places that I went to and OCed:

Philly Airport, no issues.
Hotel, nothing.
Ruby Tuesdays in Philly, nothing.
The Philly Diner (Next day for breakfast). I had one question from a patron, but after I explained the law that was it.

I disarmed for the monuments (Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Constitution center, and the US Mint) Irony just sucks huh?
I CCed in the King of Prussia mall... something just told me security would boot my ass out.
Drove home and OCed again at the Bass Pro (Harrisburg mall), not a stare.
Greenvillage Diner for breakfast, nothing.

Sheetz for gas. There was a state trooper parked out front with his window down. My sister made the comment that "you shouldn't do that there’s a cop right there". To which I said I'm doing nothing illegal and got out of the car and went in. Nothing but a few stares. Nothing from the LEO.

Hershey park, left the gun in the car 1. Because I was going to the water park all day and I don't want to CC in the pool and 2. Park security at the gate "for all of our guests safety, please leave all undesirable objects in your vehicle"

Dinner at Casey’s Restaurant in Greencastle... at this point my mom was irritated that I OCed so much and gave me the "can't you leave it at home just this once". I said I'm not going without my firearm and that its going with us. She asked me to cover up, to which I objected again. I OCed without an issue.

Forgot to add: I OCed at Midas and Giant grocery store with my mom. I had to get my car inspection done and picked up a few things from the store (besdes my mom rolling her eyes) I had no issues.

Drove back to Philly, and I OCed at the airport again, no issue.
Got gas in the city somewhere near 1-696 I got a few stares, but nothing.
Rest stop on the turnpike... besides the abundance of Jersey plates and stares, I ate my lunch and was on my way.

Over all it was an uneventful week.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I am in Philly... OCed at the airport, walked past a Philly cop... nothing.

OCed at the hotel check in, nada.

OCed at dinner... not a glance.

Can't carry tomorrow tho because of the "Federal park" bullcrap, and I'll CC at the King of Prussia mall before we head home. I saw a "Welcome to Philly" sign from Mayor Nut-job... I had to point and laugh.

I'll be sure to report more tomorrow.

Edit: I was a little nervous at fisrt, but soon got over the OC in a questionable place jitters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well today is my first day off in god knows how long I got off work at 2:30 yesterday and came home, cleaned up washed the truck and headed off to move my friend. Places that I went to:

Jiffy Lube: My truck needed an oil change and new anti-freeze. I got out and talked to the guys. No one really noticed or cared if they did. The manager was quite friendly when I was talking to him about what needed done.

Beer distributor: Pulled up and bought a case of beer for the evening. No one cared or noticed.

Kmart: Stopped in to get a new pair of sandels and some toiletries for myself. The cashier noticed I was OCing, and asked "Whats that"? I said "A firearm". She glared at me and said "Oh..." and continued to ring me up.

Sheetz: I stopped in to get a few powerball tickets. A group of thug looking mexican kids noticed for sure. One looked right at it and started saying something in Spanish and they all looked down, eyes wide as saucers. After they left I was rung up for my tickets. The cashier neither noticed nor cared.

Friends parents house: They have guns and like them. I got a few "Nice gun" comments while I was there. His family was having a get together or some such thing.

EDIT Added to today:

Ruby Tuesdays: No one noticed except for one man we assumed was out of state. He looked at it and did a double take. Over all a non-eventful experience.

Giant grocery store: Walked around with out a hassle. Cashier glared, but nothing was said. I paid and was off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had yet another positive OC experience last night. My wife and I decided we were going to go out to eat for dinner with the kids. It was a nice evening out so I had a T-shirt on with my Glock 36 in an OWB holster. Not one set of eyes drifted. The only thing is one guy looking down as he walked past. That was it. No one noticed. We went to Moe's over on Gateway Ave. by the Ford dealership. It is privately owned, and the owner was very receptive to the fact of me OCing. I gave him our flyer, and said sometime in the future maybe we could have a meet there. So to everyone in Franklin County, Moe's is a gun-friendly zone After dinner we made our way to Gander to check out a few guns and to see how much ammo has gone up. We left empty handed... there was a nice camo Mossberg Tactical 835 Ulti-Mag I had to play with I set it down and made note of it to purchase elsewhere for cheaper. No one in Gander really noticed or cared. I think a few guys looking at guns saw it, but didn't care.

Liberals are really beginning to piss me off

This is more of a rant then a political blog, but I am getting fed up with this sophomoric behavior of these sniveling little liberals. I came home the other night to find my new McCain/Palin sign smashed and bent into the ground. I picked it back up and bent it back into shape and put it back in the ground.

Again tonight, now it’s missing, and so is the original McCain sign that I had set on my front porch. Word has it the Democrats in the area are on a little campaign to snatch and destroy yard signs. Apparently a large McCain sign down in Hagerstown was butchered and burned…

People have cut me off and flipped me off in traffic "McCain sucks!"... "Vote for someone better you idiot". One of them was even kind enough to leave a Obama sticker on my windshield which I gladly left in the parking lot in the puddle.

Tonight at work someone brought up politics because of my McCain sticker. They gave me the whole “Bush lied, people died” liberal chant that they are always on about. They rambled on about Enron, Bush’s oil cronies and how this was “daddies” war. This is all crap that has been thoroughly debunked. They wouldn’t even listen to me and laughed at everything I attempted to say. It got old real quick.

The Democrats are supposed to be the party of tolerance? Oh wait, only if you're not a conservative...
