This makes Watergate look benign. What the IRS did is illegal, it's dishonest, as Forlorn pointed out, those emails were never stored on a PC hard drive - it's just another lie to cover up illegal actions by the most transparent administration in our history. And when Koskinen says "no apology needed" I agree - I don't want an apology - I want him and everyone behind this in prison. Getting called out on the senate floor is nothing to this guy. Stick him in general population at Pelican Bay for 25 years. See how smug he is then.

From what I've seen, most tend to stay on trails that are pretty much designated for that purpose. I'm sure there's a little bit of "test this thing out" at the most convenient location, but I haven't seen crawlers out making a mess of things - at least not like the "mud boggers" but that's a whole other topic.

Talk about reading - read Louis and Clark's diaries and their encounters with Griz. You won't hear much about wolves, which were prevalent during their trek, but the Griz had a profound effect on them during their travel to the Pacific. On a separate note, I'd rather camp in Griz country and take my chances than Mexican drug runners.

NICE!!!

Dang - my son just bought a truck. This would have been perfect for him.

Maybe a little off topic, I've hit a few CC ponds for fishing as well, but when I started learning to bowhunt, my buddy and I would walk the golf courses around Tucson shooting rabbits. It was always kinda like we were hiding out from range master and trying not to freak out the old ladies, but around sundown, it was a target rich environment.

I don't think you can take anyone from that environment and expect them to have the same perspective as most Americans, let alone those of us brought up out West in small towns who have spent our entire lives on modest means, most influenced by parents, extended family, church and community. Perspective is created by a lifetime of experience, and is very unique to each person. Whether it's this guy or the guy from your post, the guy who owns a local car dealership, or the guy standing on the corner holding a sign asking for help - each of those people has a completely unique perspective on life that reflects all the things they have done and seen and experienced up to this point. Perspective is the lens through which we all view the world, and since it is as unique as a finger print, none of us really has the right, morally or intellectually, to judge which are right and which are wrong. The old "thousand miles in his moccasins" saying comes to mind. Why he supports Obama is a mystery to us, and why we don't is equally puzzling to him. In his mind, his beliefs make perfect sense - just as ours do to us.

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a great one.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/06/15/rogers-iraq-sectarian-civil-war-is-as-dangerous-as-it-gets-for-us-allies/ Since the pull out, things are stabilizing there quite well. Tongue in cheek of course. The lives lost, the bodies and minds shattered, the families of American service men and women wasted on this abomination - I can't find the words.

Bonecollector hit the nail on the head with his last post. If any of the "little guys" want to, they can be part of Amazon or even Walmart.com - these sites don't just sell what they stock, they sell on behalf of thousands of online vendors. If you have a product to sell, getting it in front of as many buyers as possible is crucial. Don't rely on people finding your site, get it on the sites everyone is already using.

Certainly didn't mean to imply that at all! I was just reflecting on my own observations. Happy Father's day to you.

That WT deadhead is CRAZY. Turned it for ya.

Name one of these that isn't happening right under your nose. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. Gain control of all student newspapers. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." Control art critics and directors of art museums. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch." Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man." Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

Happy Father's day. When it hits the fan, you're gonna soak it up. In moments of glory, get used to the fact that you probably won't be recognized. Dads are unsung heroes but they wear that badge with honor. What dads do isn't for glory or recognition, it's for being that quiet rock that is there to give everything and expect nothing and relish in those moments when your kids do something truly exceptional. I'm blessed by the way I see my sons growing up and becoming young men. They have all given me the best "Father's Day" present I could ask for.

Read The Naked Communist, or if you don't have time just go on YouTube and search for it. Common Core is part of a brainwashing experiment in place since the late 60's/early 70's. If nothing else, read the goals laid out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Communist Pay special attention to #13 on. That's where it gets into social reformation.

NICE!!!

IMO, both are falling further behind each day. Most Americans these days are buying more-and-more online. Amazon Prime, is a "prime" example. It used to be that Amazon.com was a good place to buy books. Now we are buying our clothes, basic need things like tools and recreation equipment, even food items from Amazon. Wal-Mart owned the area of "everything in one place" for a long time. Now Amazon has everything in one place - your keyboard - with fast and free shipping, better selection and lower prices than even the box stores can offer. My $.02

I've been really trying to steer away from politically themed topics these days as they generally divide more than they unite, on this forum and others. But despite all the horribly corrupt scandals going on right now, the VA, IRS targeting, F&F, Benghazi, Sebelius, Solyndra - each with their own weight to sink any legitimate president, one stands out that I can not believe hasn't finally congealed and been the turning point among common-ground Americans. Obama, against the advice of his highest ranking military advisers, releases 5 of the most dangerous men in the world from Gitmo, knowing they will kill Americans in exchange for a pansy traitor - who broke lines and deserted, while 6 good men died trying to "save" him, and others died while he helped direct fire on their positions and gave intel on how they would react to a direct attack. Meanwhile looking the other way while a "true" hero, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, is held, beaten, threatened in a Mexican drug-cartel owned prison. Kerry had every opportunity to advocate for his release and refused to do so. If there is an inkling of doubt in your mind whether obama is just incompetent, or whether he is actively, and very successfully "transforming America" into a 3rd world country, this should be your wake up call.

Nice Tom! Huge congrats. Liked the story too!

Wow TJ, looks like this could be the year for you. Best of luck, my friend. If you do draw, you know you've got another set of eyes and optics there ready to help out in any way.

My dad is an amazing fly fisherman. He built for me a fly-rod that has some of the most intricate threadwork I've ever seen. The countless hours he spent on it make it one of my most treasured items. He also handed down to me a Howard Hill longbow (signed) and cedar shafts with turkey fletchings the old Fred Bear heads - along with the same leather quiver and iconic wrist protector Howard used in the original Robin Hood movie - back when the actors actually had to make the shots in their movie.

Not to derail here, but isn't that smell of your sleeping bag when it's been put away for some time just awesome? My dad had an old Coleman canvas tent, and there was just something amazing about the smell of the tent, the sleeping bags, cots, the old pump-up stove and lantern. You just knew you were on the hunt - the dutch oven cooking, a little misty morning, the cold air on your face... just paradise.

Wow, that's a stud for sure.
