Left and right are fighting over who gets to control the government and use it to further their agenda.
No matter who wins this November, we all lose.

Yesterday we wrapped up our Back The Blue ride at the Sarasota PD. It's adjacent to a skate park, and as the first few riders started trickling in, a pair of skateboard punks were shouting out that they had a right to be heard. Well alrighty then. 2 of them turned into 3, they busted out cellphones and then there were 8 of them.

Unfortunately for them, a few hundred riders entered the parking lot leaving them effectively surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered. I hung back in the parking area with 2 dozen other riders and watched them slink off like beaten dogs. We all had the distinct impression they had every intention of starting something or at a minimum vandalizing and stealing from every motorcycle they could get near. That would have been a TERRIBLE idea, as our ROE are a lot more generous than LE.

Your right I should have kept my opinion about doing that to mount rushmore and comparing conservatives to socialists to myself. Did not mean to hurt anyone's feelings so deleted my comment

Heck after looking at it damitgriff did a great job putting TRUMP'S face all over Mount Rushmore. That's not an attack. Just an observation. Where's PELOSI, BIDEN again not attacking just asking to be fair since he did mention both parties. It would have looked more artistic.

As stated below. I'm not even mad. I'm impressed and agree with lakelandman

I found a meme just for you dammitgriff.

Yeah, FireMedic missed the point/joke. Trump knows how to trigger the left like no other.
I’m not a Never-Trumper, I voted for the knothead in 2016. He’s falling behind Biden in the polls, it’s not looking good for the R’s this go-round. A strategically-timed second round of “free” stimulus money just before the election might be enough to see him win, but even that is iffy. Another foreign war of choice might do the trick...it’s been done before.
One thing for sure, if we wind up with Biden for four years, we WILL be paying higher taxes. Someone has to fund all the city, county and state governments—and their bankrupt pension plans. Property taxes and state sales taxes, real estate taxes (goodbye, 1031 transfer), fuel taxes...ad infinitum.
The America we all knew a generation ago no longer exists, it was bound to follow the Constitution down the memory hole of history. Everyone needs to prepare for a much lower standard of living over the next decade or two. I have a bad feeling we can kiss our fiat currency goodbye, too.
This is going to get much, much worse before it gets better—regardless of who wins in November, all hell’s going to break out everywhere at once across the nation.
Remember something else, too: Covid-19 did not lock the nation down and kill our economy—our government did.

If exercising your lawful right to carry, be sure and sit in the back of the bus and don't be uppity.

Got it.

What's new I stuck my foot in my mouth....again.....and feel stupid. I apoligize. BUT this is how adults handle it in my opinion. I say something wrong you tell me and you make me feel really bad. That's the best way to learn a lesson and be more careful and learn restrain.

Not getting threats of being banned from the sight. Members are adults and can work our issues out. And yes I get workup sometimes. BUT there's nothing I'd not do for anyone here if they need help with something.

But as members we can say hey numnuts that's not what I meant and then say oh ok. My bad then all good. No comment is ever ever a personal attack ever.

It'slike you just did and now I felt like my mom just spanked me but everything is fine. BUT sometimes I've posted something before I realize it and end up deleting afterwards. BUT not anymore. If I tick of the MOD one more time and in his opinion he deems it as a personal attack I'm gone, banned

So I'm trying to decide what I want to do. If I leave I'll not be the first but just the list of many that already has.

I am truely sorry though and feel really really bad and this is exactly how it should have been handled without any threats. Actually I feel worse for my dumb post to you than being threaten with the ban. Either way you and I worked it out ourselves as it should be. IT was my fault too for being to quick also. Man I do feel really bad to.

Thanks

Milk shake, cigar, and chill on the dock.

That is always a better used of time than working about what someone writes on a board.

In the end we are all we have. The time for us vs them is in my opinion not far off. Sadly

I have no doubt you would and have done anything you could for members.

Most folks here are the same. No worries, just flow with the times.

Medic just needs to learn how to make a good "smooothie",LOL. Chill out dude
