Re: Are all boaters republican?
12 footer, <br /><br />I didn't call YOU stupid, I said that *I* must be too dumb to get your joke on my handle. PW2? from woodrat? I still don't get it. <br /><br />Politically I am conservative on some things, liberal on others, just like probably many many other americans. And because I don't fit into one particular pigeonhole, I don't like people who know me only from a few posts on a forum deciding they know what pigeonhole I really belong in. You don't. I'm sure that you have figured out that you don't like my politcal stands, because at least in this forum, they revolve around my critique and dislike of an administration that you avidly support. But just because I don't like the brave new world/GW bush/cheney/ashcroft/patriot act/"people need to watch what they say"/"go f*** yourself"/Enron energy market scamming administration that is now in power does not mean that there are no truly conservative priciples I can relate to. <br /><br />I am against gun control, pro-hunting and fishing, pro-family farming and forestry, in favor of self-sufficiency, against most taxes, and suspicious of many things that are shoved down our throats and called "progress". I eat meat and know how to raise and butcher my own. I own a small sawmill and believe in making boards from trees (not sawdust glued into board-shapes). Most of these things do not sit so well with the urban, liberal types.<br /><br />I'm also in favor of a woman's right to have an abortion, don't give a crap one way or the other about gay marriage, have several gay friends, shop at food co-ops occasionally, don't support big timber corporations and their big stream-choking, employment-killing clearcuts, am against genetically modified food and most chemical agriculture. I think factory raised meat is a crime against god's creation. I do not support energy deregulation, or any of the other corporate scams of the last decade or so, including GATT and NAFTA. I am in favor of legalizing marijuana and not wasting prison space on non-violent pot offenders and the like. (yes I even think that poor old Rush deserves some sympathy for his pill habit, which is more than he ever extended to anyone else in that predicament.) All of these stands (except a pardon for Rush of course) earn me much derision from the conservatives too.<br /><br />I have been a redneck, punk rocker, hippie and back again to redneck. I have been to peace protests and raced a stock car.<br /><br />So no, I don't imagine that you really know that much about me from my few posts here on Iboats.
