Obama cut air tankers...really?

[Rucker61]

Just put Rucker on your ignore list like I have done. If nobody listens he will go away.

Sounds a lot like the Democratic Congresscritters refusing to participate in the hearings.

If you only want to hear opinions that agree with your own, then it's just one big circle jerk.

some of us call it "Considering the source"

Rucker, just a question, and don't take offense, but are you a gun-toting liberal?

Aero Union's planes were falling apart. Quite literally. One of their planes broke up while fighting a fire in California a few years ago, killing the crew.



It's unfortunate that nobody else makes these airplanes, save for Evergreen's small fleet. But would you rather lack the air support, or bring in old, decrepit planes that could fall apart mid-air and kill more people and start more fires?

Gun-toting moderate. Some liberal viewpoints, some conservative viewpoints, some moderate viewpoints. Generally, when I'm toting a gun, I'm in conservative mode. Arguing with the right wing makes me look liberal; conversely, arguing with the left wing makes me look conservative. Doesn't much matter to me.

This is the best advice I have gotten today. Thanks.

Liberals don't believe in freedom and the right to protect yourself.

Says who???

Just because you may disagree with someone, you start name calling? What are you guys a bunch 4th graders? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that's what makes America great. Get over yourselves...

[Rucker61]

How can a liberal own a gun and believe in the 2nd amend. Liberals don't believe in freedom and the right to protect yourself. The government will do that for you! They are here to help us all! Kind of like being an atheist and reading the bible daily or being a tree hugger and not recycling.

So if I own a gun, and enjoy shooting, and protect gun ownership and the right to self-defense, I can't be a liberal by your logic, can I? See, the world isn't black and white. I've seen folks on this very forum claim to not oppose gay marriage, which is a closely held liberal viewpoint.

I would bet he voted for Obama in 2008. Not sure he will admit it though.

Sure did. Haven't decided for this round though. I've voted for Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I'm actually a registered Republican.

Reading his previous posts- not really on board with most of us.

I can't argue with that.

I bet he's one of the many fine Ft Collins citizens I see every day up here in this liberal Boulder north driving around with an "Obama 2012" sticker on his Subaru or Prius. No offense meant...just making an observation.

I actually have a Sonata, built in my home town in Alabama. I'd like to have Subaru again, though, since my double rifle cases barely fit in the trunk and I hate having my Rottie climb all over the leather seats that my wife insisted we get. She's actually wondered out loud why I haven't bought a truck, since I got back into guns after a 40 year layoff.

The Prius comment is insulting, though . Anyone with a lick of economic sense would see it's a horrible idea; it's a feel good car for eco-dummies. I hate the stupid stuff the extreme left does and says as much as anyone here. "Violence never solved any problems"? Miss a lot of WWII history class smoking clove cigarettes, I guess, and I'm a firm believer in protecting one's home. I saw a great comment on the LRH site, I think it was: Average response time of a police call, 27 minutes. Average response time of a .357 magnum, 1500 fps.

Maybe Michelle Malkin and her fellow small government conservatives should:

A) stop trying to politicize a tragic and uncontrollable event.

B) stop crying about the federal government not providing for them.

Seriously, I am not a fan of Obama but two days ago nearly 350 homes burned to the ground and at least one person, possibly more, lost their lives. This strikes me as an inappropriate time to be complaining about Obama not buying airplanes, of all things. Maybe next week if we want to blame Obama for lack of snowpack, record heat, dry forest, 65 mph winds, and houses built in dangerous fire areas we should have at it, but can we at least give it more than two days before starting the obligatory political blame game?

It's bullshit like this that got me to loathe arfcom before I was banned. Some of you guys in here only want an echo chamber. Any differing opinions or new ideas are bad because they don't fit in with your preconcieved ides.

How about instead of us fucking attacking each other over petty bullshit, we work together and use the shooting hobby to find common ground?

Assuming half you loudmouths even own a gun anymore.
