“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
― Adrian Rogers

Old f@rt. Grew up when you could order guns through the mail, when we had about 5% of the government we have today, and no one complained about not having enough government (well almost no one, there has always been a shrill vocal group that wants to use government to force their stupid ideas down everyone's throat)

I am a strong believer in the right to keep and bear arms. I think that as far as guns go the more the better, and the bigger the better. Every household should have at least one crew served weapon. :-) Because I am a believer in the God given right to effectively defend yourself and your family, I have nothing but contempt for the back stabbing traitorous sell outs in the NRA. Every time the GA anti-gunners stick a law in the GA legislature that diminishes my 2A rights the NRA is right there helping them pass it.

I think government is way way too big. I find it bad enough that the various levels of government rob nearly half of what everyone makes today, but the bureaucrats' sanctimonious self-righteous attitude, calling you selfish for wanting to keep what you've worked for while they're robbing you or taking your rights really annoys me.

PLEASE do not add my name to your various bump lists unless I ask you to do so. I am perfectly capable of deciding if an article is of interest without it showing up in my search with some generic message. Thank you.

Some of the dumbest things I've read on FR

• "Man's future is in space."
• "The Democrats aren't going to pursue gun control because it's a loser for them"
• "Interstellar travel and communication is possible" WhiskeyX

Now for something completely different an exchange between me and a liberal here on FR This gives an insight into the entitlement mindset. I had this exchange with another poster on the subject of food stamps recently. The other poster's comments are in green

My first post:

Nearly 40 million Americans received food stamps
Nearly 40 million parasites received food stamps - fixed it.

Response from "Spunkets":

No, you change what was a correct statement, to being false.

My next go round in response to "Spunkets" and "rural Jew" who appears to a troll:

Then you are obviously in favor of forced wealth redistribution which is the basic premise of socialism. Sorry Jack, anyone who is too lazy or too cowardly to steal from me directly, but relies on the government to steal for them is a PARASITE. I'd be willing to bet that 95% of those receiving food stamps at the expense of those of us who work have at LEAST one flat screen TV, and of those I'd be willing to bet that at least 80% have a dog or cat. I have neither pets nor flat screen TV's, UPDATE as of July 2020 I have a flat screen TV. yet the government robs me at gunpoint to subsidize the lifestyle of those who do. THEY ARE NOTHING BUT F*****G parasites, and the pair of you are obviously either members of the parasite class or liberals. You either receive stolen goods or you approve of the process so you're not any better than the parasites themselves. The hell with you both especially "rural J" who has the unmitigated chutzpah to scold me for disapproving of his goniff friends for stealing from me.

Next go-round from "Spunkets"

Doom on you, parasite

My response to "Spunkets"

Let me get this straight - my taxes are supporting you and your worthless ilk and you call me a parasite. Add lack of english comprehension to your other deficiencies

"Spunkets" again

You are a parasite. You’ve contributed nothing to America and have been way overpayed for it.

My final response to "Spunkets."

I've contributed far more that you ever will since your contribution is collecting welfare paid for by those of us who actually PAY taxes. I see. With that comment you add yourself to the ranks of the certifiably insane. It appears that your definition of "contributing" is collecting welfare. Since you are obviously on the dole, what are you doing with a computer? How many flat screen TVs do YOU have? How old is your car? How many dogs do you have?

At this point I suspect that "Spunkets" decided to have a beer and a smoke and go scratch off some lotto tickets.

What the heck - I'll give this a try.
