Dog fighting, Bulls Fighting, and abused children

Posted by Dakotaranger on Friday, July 27, 2007 1:50:43 AM
 I'll admit it I don't care one way or another if Michael Vick was involved with dog fighting. First off of all the animals I have the least use for is any canine falls on the top of the list. I hunt coyotes and the thing that convinced me to carry 100% 0f the time was a dog attack not criminals.

Since I'm a hick and worked my share of beeves and I've watch a few bull fights. None that were staged, well at least by humans. Does this make me a bad person?

More than both of these when Fox had "When Animal Attacks" on no one complained about the exploitation of animals. No one complains about the voyeurism of animals fighting on Animal Planet, which I've only watch one show on the Animal Planet about the messager pigeons they used during WWI.

About the same time the indictment, there was a story about a couple that starved their kids because 'they were to busy playing video games.' While it was reported there is no where near the indignation that is aimed at Michael Vick aimed at these losers. It bothers me that people are more worried about animals than a couple of innocent children.

Another of reason I don't care is the 'moral superiority' of a lot of people that are decrying the alleged dog fighting (something that has yet to be proven in a court of law See Duke rape case). These same reporters are ignoring various types of assault on humans. They are acting like, well, over sanctimonious Christians. As if they are with out any sin or crime.

There are enough things that I'm morally indignant about, I just don't have the emotional reserve to decry alleged dog fighting. Especially, when I see anti-hunting and anti-ranching groups use this to show their 'piety' when calling for Michael Vick to be killed. These groups unfortunately are getting a ton of milage out of this story.

If he did this fine, put him in jail...but if some pedophile has to give up his bed so Michael Vick can rot in prison society is worse off. And another thing, if the NFL is unwilling to suspend wife beaters or drug abusers there is no reason Michael Vick should loose his job. Anyone else that would be accused of a crime wouldn't loose their job, to expect him to loose it without a conviction is totally un-American. While no one should be involved with this, what is wrong with this country when we are more worried about mutts than children? I'll save my outrage for abused kids and when criminals don't receive justice personally.

Liberals-DONT TREAD ON ME!!!

Posted by Dakotaranger on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 12:53:24 AM
 OSHA has rescinded their decision to functionally eliminate ammunition sales.

There was a proposed law that would have made it impossible for gun store, gas stations, sporting goods stores to store and sell ammunition, even though there the thousands of stores that house ammo for sale haven't exploded. Those of us that go shooting and hunting usually have a few loose rifle or shotgun shells sitting in hot vehicles with no problem.

Something that the original proposed rule ignored is the weather extremes that ammunition is tested in. (Anyone with the History Channel could see since it has appeared on Modern Marvels a couple of times. But when dealing with liberals logic has nothing to do with what they want.)

Thankfully this was averted, but the commies and pansies won't rest until they steal our God given right of self-preservation.

Since Congress acts like it hates American's I'm thinking about a flag protest

Posted by Dakotaranger on Friday, July 06, 2007 3:44:05 AM
 I've always been a history buff.  In fact I used to bore my dad to tears when mom and I could convince him to go to a museum (which was always puzzling since he was a pastor but that's another story).  Any way I've always wanted the Gadsen Flag.  I was going to act like a liberal and ask someone else to get it for me until I found one for around ten bucks so I ordered one.

After Senator trent lott decided to call for legislation controlling talk radio thus violating the 1st Amendment joining the chorus of the junior Senator from New York along with those that are willing to violate the 2nd Amendment and a few other of our rights I posted a heartfelt message to Congress on my blog which was simply stated like this.

As I was ordering my Gadsen flag I started thinking about as a protest ordering 535 flags for Congress.   I'm not much for activism beyond writing letters and the three problems I can see with this thought is the Senator and the Congressman will never see it, the staffers probably have no clue about the Gadsen Flag, and the third problem is the point could be misconstrued in such a way that they might think I'm calling for something that have no intention of ever advocating.

So, anyone with 2 cents?
