About me

 

I don’t lie, and I despise hypocrisy.  I’m very patriotic and believe in following the Constitution.  I live by the Golden Rule of treating others as I would want them to treat me.

  

While I was born and raised as a Christian, I’ve seen the light and realize religion is a farce.  While there are some exceptions, most so-called Christians I’ve encountered are hypocrites and frauds.  That seems especially true on GOLO.  I do not believe that Vishnu, Amon-Ra, Poseidon, Thor, Jehovah, or any of the THOUSANDS of other gods are real.  They are all man-made, nothing more than fictional spooks in the sky.  Prayer doesn’t work.  Bottom line is that there is no God.  Sorry.

 

By the way, I’m pro-gun, pro-military, pro-Constitution, pro-death penalty, pro-democracy, and pro-“nuking” any country’s tail that messes with the United States of America.  I’m slightly left of center with my political views, mostly because of my support of the United States Constitution and the related civil/human rights.  I vote for both Democrats and Republicans. 

 

I’m a firearm enthusiast.  Use to hunt in my youth, but no longer have a desire for it.  I do my hunting at Food Lion.  I still like shooting.  I ride motorcycles.  I’ve been riding over 20 years.  I drive a ski boat.  While I do fish every now and then, I practice catch and release.  Nothing wrong with keeping fish, I’m just too lazy to clean them.  Did enough of that in my youth.  I like to stargaze.  I know how to fly an airplane.  Once in a blue moon I dabble in poetry.  I like to camp.  Well basically, I like nature.  I love sitting on a high mountain ridge while birds of prey float on the thermals about me. 

 

NOTE for those requesting to be friends:  I REALLY appreciate the “friend” requests.  I’m not thumbing my nose at you by not accepting.  I just don’t like those kind of features.  I prefer a totally open forum.  Besides, I get a kick out of having “no confirmed friends”.  :)

However, I have been considering it...

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/11/70-of-african-a.html In reference to the blog I did and you said that religion was the reason it's voted on. I found plenty of sites that said the main reason they started prop 8 was because back in 2000 the state was denied the right to vote at all so they went about the legal process. It seems the residents felt they were legally mistreated and not included in the mayors decision to pass the state marriage law to allow gay marriage in 2004. The state was against the marriage but the mayor found a loophole by allowing state issued marriage licenses. Their only recourse was to put it up to vote in 2008. thanks again for contributing in a "sane" fashion on my blog. So many don't

I just posted her lecture in its entirety...

I doubt that..LOL...I had to keep searching but I think I found what you were looking for

ty lightfoot... I know i have a dry sense of humor that people don't appreciate. thanks for helping me not get attacked.

Check this out:

You can comment on their stories now.

but I'm going to try to lurk more and post less.

so you like watching? ;)

Yep. And the haters are putting all of their eggs into the voter basket. Hopefully the United States Supreme Court will finally rule marriage is a fundamental human right that can’t be discriminated against because of sexual preference or gender, and take the voters out of the picture.

You are wrong to judge people as haters. i personally think marriage should be between a woman and a man (since I can't find any where in previous life that it wasn't), but I do not hate gays. i have gay relatives and love them just as much. I just think they need to call it unions or another name and allow the union to take place also giving all legal rights as heterosexuals.

Lightfood...just read your comment on my profile. Thanks, I didn't know I had been called a jerk, but am glad ot know. I will go back and see if I was, and the rest of it after thanking you here. Appreciate your taking the time and effort ot watch out for me.

"That doesn’t seem to be a problem for people on religious blogs. ZING!"

You must have been referring to the ATHEISTS! haha!

"No, I have nothing worthwhile to contribute. I’m out… :)"

I made a joke abotu BBQ on the same blog - got deleted LOL.

My blogs are still open to you BTW......

The movie was “Duel” with Dennis Weaver.

Thank ya darlin. That was driving me nuts.

I know, I know Google is my friend. LOL

"Did he get your Rolex watch too? :)" - lightfoot3

Glad it's not just me. lol

She forgot to mention the purse was a Dooney & Bourke! ;-)

I’ve shot a Beretta 92 at a range once. Very nice gun. I’ve got a S&W 915. Good shooting gun, but not as nicely finished as the Beretta.

I just bought a S&W CS9 today!"

How's the CS9?

"especially ones with contrasting colors."

OOOOhhh - shiney!

Not trying to be mean,but it seems you are loved as much as Prometheus.

I guess intelligence is just unappriciated around here.LOL

This "ignore" feature is a bad joke. Anyone who has a lengthy list of ignored or blocked names, has their own problems. I expect they are mental lightweights, with closed minds. Fortunately, they are not likely to be on more serious blogs anyway.

go back to the troll blog for my answer

is the nickle the only thing worn on the pistol? Or are actual working parts worn? Nickle can be redone but depending on the gun, it might not be worth the money.

So, are you blocked or is it me?

“So, are you blocked or is it me?” – speedy

I’m still able to post. :)

I don’t think you’ve done anything to be blocked, but Old Rebel can have an itchy trigger finger. :)

Personally, I think they are confusing Letterman’s joke with partisanship and hypocrisy. I can’t stand Letterman, but common sense says the joke was about Bristol, EVEN if she wasn’t at the actual game. Oh well, some on here still believe Obama doesn’t know how many states are in the US because of that one slip up with his numbers. You can’t really argue against non-thinking.

I completely agree with your view. I got my hand slapped though. I'm blocked/ignored/whatever.

I made LOTS of friends on GOLO today. I'm blocked several places.

"“does not rely on Gov programs to accomplish her goal.” - memonster

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."

How eloquent! You made your point so forceful.

"Thanks. I’m known for my laughter. When I want to be a real snot, I’ll follow it with, “Oh, you were serious, let me laugh louder ... HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA ...”"

Great point made again!

Finally read yo gun/marine blog... good work.

TGIF!!!

yup....mossberg 500 still available

Heck yeah! Seems like it took all week to get here. :) Lightfoot3 -- lol, ya think? Bet it's going to seem like another week for Friday to get here too. ;)

Hope you're enjoying your monday!

"Haven’t heard anyone say “rabbit tobacco” in a VERY long time!"

We have a great deal in common.

Well you are right about the threat of violence towards ONE member of GOLO. This only came after weeks of listening to this man insult and verbally abuse MANY people on here, not just me. My problem with the rabid anti gun crowd, is that they appear to want us to be like sheep, ripe for slaufgter. Now you say you are an athiest. I enjoy reading the bible. Does that mean I am perfect and you are not??? of course it doesn't. We all have a right to our own beliefs. But certain rights come with a condition. My 1st amendment right to free speech ends at your ears. If I say something really inflamatory, you will call me on it. If I flat out get nasty, you may very well want to punch me in the mouth......I'm willing to accept that. I will say that since coming on GOLO, my skin is getting A LOT thicker.

Well Lightfoot, you are absolutely right. There is a great deal of gun violence in this country. But lets not forget knife ,ball bat fists ,and sexual violence. If only the Govt would focus more on crime control, instead of gun control perhaps things would be different. Right here in Sanford, last week 2 young men were arressted and charged with 5 felonies each for a series of drive by shootings. ! week later a judge dismissed 4 charges against 1, and all 5 charges against the othe, releasing him. The young man he cut loose was rearrested the next day for threatening a witness. What we need is a legal system that works.

The next time I start getting wound up......I'll just take a break and walk away. your comments and insight do make me reconsider MY attitude. I'll try to be more tolerant. Thanks, Jerry

it is a joke. They just want to complain. I did love his reponse...he should talk more harshly. That is priceless.

I also love his "I'm not a right winger" story. None of it flies at all.

My box of 25 cal (#50) was $17.50, that seemed high. They still don't have .32 yet, only long. jr said my .25 Colt was pretty valuable, it is about 90 yrs old, original box etc. I'm not selling but will secure it better when I can get the .32 ammo. I used to keep it in a bank safe deposit box, but was told that was illegal. I just hid it in an envelope and left it there anyway.

The ammo I need is .32 S&W, not long. It's a snubby revolver with a 2 inch barrel. I don't shoot much right now so price is not a biggie. I have a restricted drivers license, so getting around can be a challenge. btw, my comments about you were sincere...the udders were too. I have had the good fortune to meet some of the golo babes.

"Why are you posting on my profile AND the blog? The blog is sufficient unless you crave an audience. Do you mind if I delete those posts on my profile and just address your points on the blog? Only with your permission, of course, given I don’t usually delete."

Sometimes I do that when I think the blog has died. I post it on the blog for anyone else that might come along, and on your blog in case you don't make it back to the original blog.

You can always delete any comment from me. I don't get offended by that. I clean up my profile posts once in a while, too.

I appreciate your hypocrisy comment above. I have been watching the John Adams miniseries on dvd these last few nights. It's been a great history lesson for me. The men back then, at least as they were portrayed, had tremendous dignity and standards. Hypocrisy today is almost the norm, in believers and non. There are plenty here on golo who pray out of one side of their mouth, and cuss you out the other. Enuf of that soapbox. Goodnite dude.

"The “pork rinds” comment that someone was doing one time almost caused him to have a stroke! :) "

Boy, are you in error. I didn't care one whit about anything Gandie or Kim ever said about me. My only concern involved the fact that they were literally making hundreds of posts a day at times, harping on the exact same thing, in dozens of blogs that I was not even involved in. Their behavior was disruptive to the flow of conversation and that is what kept getting them booted. Not what they said, but how often they were saying it, especially totally out of context.

I actually thought most of what they said was funny in the sense that I enjoy watching drunks self-destruct under the influence of their own vices.

Happy 4th!! I put a new picture up, just for you! ahahahah

Hope you enjoy time with your family and friends! Stay safe!! :)

I talked to a special forces soldier today who told me the armed forces are preparing to put down insurrections in the USA, and sieze firearms from private citizens........ Now who should we fear? Outside invaders? Or our own Military, who may or may not blindly obey thier orders, legal or not??? I have to tell you, this man scared the HECK out of me. FEMA concentration camps. Ft. Bragg stockpiling MILLIONS of rounds of ammunition, and thousands of body bags..... I am SCARED....REALLY, REALLY SCARED FOLKS

yeah mid south is awfully pricey....I really hope this soldier was playing some stupid mind game......but my confidence in our leaders is at an all time low. I trust the shooting was fun?

Hey you! I've not been on a whole lot, but I've not seen you on much when I am on. Just wanted to pop in and say hello.

"Saw one this morning that had the symbol of the fish, and inside it said “N Chips”. :)"

ROFL...I want one...

Just commented on your blog... it was really food for thought. Thanks!

"It’s me voicing my frustration and dismay at the fact that some people hide their religion rather than advertise it, as I would if I believed." - lightfoot3

Conversely, we experience the flipside of this coin; we have to conceal our non-belief from some to avoid discrimination from friends and co-workers. That's quite frustrating as well.

Christians don't have this problem in today's world. Their beliefs are still seen as virtuous, and professing faith among the right crowd can lead to promising social and business contacts. Not so for non-believers. One of my oldest friends (who frequently contracted me to work on his computer networks) stopped calling me completely after a casual conversation where he realized I was no longer a Christian. Hit me in the heart and the pocketbook at the same time!

The blogosphere is my only outlet for frank discussion on these topics. I might have the guts to do it if it were just me - but I have a family to consider.

"Those that do share a little, will often withdraw once the questions get tough." - Lightfoot

It looks as though the questions have gotten tough...

Hi, I just happened to read your comment on Haggis Basher about the only reason for divorce was adultry was given by Jesus. That is correct but there are 2 reasons for the woman. The second is when the husband will not let her worship the Lord.

“That is correct but there are 2 reasons for the woman. The second is when the husband will not let her worship the Lord.” - OMG52

Thanks. Could you cite the scripture for me?

“Well I voted for McCain in November…” - tmedlin

What? After bashing him all over the place? After saying a vote for him is a vote for illegal immigrants and all that other garbage you spewed? I guess hypocrisy isn’t just for breakfast any more!

Great blog yesterday and flowing into today. I also see you enjoyed the smoke ring in the sky blog I posted a bit back. It does have a certain "ring" to it doesn't it. ;)

Cheers!
