There are a lot more people who are like you than you think. Most of them are, however, keeping their heads down because of their wives, families and friends.

Michelle Bachman will be apoplectic. 

From your lips to the FSM's ear! I have some hopes that she will disown Minnesota and move to say Texas where the damage is all ready done. Although, Texas has enough of it's own loons without importing ours. I know we should inspire her to move to North Korea or Iran.

It's OK to be different.
We are the others

I am, I'm me
We who are not as others

And here we go again. The following quote caught my eye.

However, superintendent Crawford has said he will not call off the assemblies. He told The Kansas City Star the assemblies will not promote creationism, despite the beliefs and mission of the Creation Truth Foundation.

“I agree with the ACLU, in that, if a mandatory all-school assembly where creationist truths or creationist beliefs were expressed, that would be inappropriate public-school content, and that is not the case,” Crawford said. “It’s completely and totally school appropriate.”

I am having a little problem as I do not see how it is possible to separate the assemblies from the beliefs and mission of the organization. Furthermore, I do not see how mandatory attendance of these talks can not be anything but a breech of the separation of church and state.

Listed below is a link to their web site and a couple of quotes from there mission statement  and about their beliefs.http://www.creationtruth.com/

The Chief Fruit of Evolutionism

From their mission statement.

By now, many will ask, "How did Evolution effect these kinds of drastic changes in American life?" The evolutionary theories affecting biology, geology, paleontology, etc..., while totally nonscientific, have, nevertheless in the name of science provided a legitimate means whereby anti-biblicists could excommunicate God from the center of American thought and life.

This excommunication culminated in 1962-63 when the U. S. Supreme Court declared prayer and Bible reading unconstitutional in America's public schools. With God's creatorship seriously jeopardized by mounting collections of so-called "scientific" evidence, modern American man eagerly began worshiping and serving himself, rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25).

"For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." (NAS)

As a result, Self and its gratification has become the driving ambition in American life.

From their statement of faith.

The Bible:
The unique divine inspiration of all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, so that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort, in all matters with which they deal, scientific and historical as well as moral and theological.

Special Creation:
Special creation of the existing space, mass, and time in the universe and all its basic systems and kinds of organisms in the six literal days of creation week.

^^^Most interesting article.

Amicale. If you are still reading these posts, please accept my apology.  I was brousing some old threads when I came across one of my entries and you asked a legitimate question. You asked that if I was a non gun person then why did I have several of them. Here is my very tardy answer.

One of them is a S&W 32 calibre revolver that I forcibly took away from an acquaintance who was a danger to himself or others. Another is a small 22 cal. revolver that I took away from my now deceased mother. She was in the advanced throes of Alzheimers. Another is a 22 cal automatic that I did  not want but accepted in trade for a bad debt. I have since given it to a friend who lives in a rural area. There are some bobcats who appear occasionally and threaten his small dogs. The next one is a target pistol that my wife uses at the police target range just for fun. She is not planning to use it for any nefarious purpose. She is a police Auxiliary person. She is also a near expert marksman.

Lastly I have a 12 gauge pump action shotgun with pistol grip (A Mossberg 500). It has never been fired and I hope it never is called upon. The reason for that shotgun is that my place of business was being burglarized on all too frequent occasions.  I confess that I would have used it had the need arisen. The shotgun is far more effective than a handgun at close range. The Mossberg 500 is also a supremely intimidating firearm. The hope is that the appearance of such a weapon might diffuse any confrontation. I have failed to dispose of the ones that will never be used because I see no need to recycle the things into other, perhaps less peaceful, environments.

My trail ride got cancelled so it looks like I will be able to make it after all!

I know what you mean, Bomr.  Only the other day a shameless young girl looked me straight in the face and asked me if I would like fries with that.  The whore!

The brazen strumpet!  Why not just tattoo "Please rape me" across her breasts for all the world to see?!

The conditions surrounding the groping are unknown to me though.

The conditions are two big, well-formed, juicy, 24 year-old boobies staring at you on the metro one fine April day.  A young man's fancy will turn to thoughts of gropage. And the thought gives birth to the deed.

I like the picture you painted.  Thank you.   

Without knowing more, the "morality clause" was probably a clause in the divorce decree that both parties agreed upon to shield the children from live-in lovers.  I think it would have been the same outcome if the wife had been living with a boyfriend.  There is no "morality clause" in Texas family law, unless the parties agree on it in the divorce.  The fact that the ex-wife here is a lesbian may have nothing to do with it - it's just that the parties when they divorced agreed not to have live-in lovers.  At least that's what I think, but of course I haven't seen all the documents in the case.

I am inclined to agree with you.

Hey guys and gals.

I was just thinking today about just how alone I seem to be in my beliefs.  I would imagine most here don't know, but I live in the hills of Arkansas, right in the heart of the bible belt.

Most people like me are deeply religious, and indeed I was until a few short years ago.  I am southern born and bred and am the definition of the term "redneck".  I live in the country, I'm most comfortable in camouflage and boots and I would rather eat meat that I hunted than that purchased at a grocery or butcher.  I spend every minute I can in the woods hunting whatever is in season.  I'll take a campfire and a cold beer over a fancy party and champagne any day of the week.  I'd rather drive a 4 wheel drive truck than a new Mercedes.  I have the same no-nonsense attitude about life that most country people have.  I believe that if a man is able to work and will not, he doesn't deserve to eat or have his way paid for him.  I believe if a man's word is no good, that man is no good.

In these beliefs and views, I am very much like all of those around me.  This is not the exception in Arkansas, it is the rule.  I am proud of these traditions and I wouldn't change if I could.

The thing is, 99% of those who share the above views are extremely religious.  I am the only agnostic redneck I know.  
Please tell me there are a few more out there like me.
