Thanks for doing the reading SBD. It's nothing but a spin job. Too bad most people only read headlines and look at the pictures to educate themselves and form opinions. mike

looks like a Booner to me. Mike

This thread is full of great tips. Job well done Doug. I have one more; maybe some people can think about not sitting as far back behind the animal as possible to get the photo perspective of the animal being bigger than it really is. This doesn't fool anyone who's been around a while. If the animal's actual size isn't big enough for an honest use of perspective, then maybe it shouldn't have been harvested. If I ever kill another animal, I think I'll sit in front of it, and to the side a little so I can look back at it - just to allow a little ballance in the world. Mike

A little grace goes a long ways. Mike

I will never understand this. Mike

Nothing but a big fat lie (evolution) to spread another big fat lie (hunting is bad). There is no truth in any of it. Evolution is the one scientific area that operates exclusively outside the parameters of mathematics. Why? Because the mathematical imposibilities don't fit the theory, so instead of debunking the theory, they threw the math out instead. Mike

Haven't looked in for a while. Thank you all. I'm getting older; that's the goal ain't it? Mike

The fairness doctrine will allow news shows like we already have that are supposed to show both sides of the story. What this doctrine will do is get rid of the commentary radio shows like Rush, and Janet Parshall, that are slanted to one particular view. In other words, if you are right winged or Christian, you need to shut up. The freedom of choice act will reportedly make it impossible for any future attempt to repeal the Roe vs. Wade decision. Obama has told Planned Parenthood that signing this bill will be the first thing he does in office. We are now an Obama-nation that wishes to continue infant sacrifice at the alter of convenience, and if you have anything to say about it, you won't have a chance on the air waves. Mike

Nope, this ain't about our governor, Janet. This is about Janet Parshall of "Janet Parshall's America" on "Radio Shine", Christian radio station 90.9 for most of its range, 90.7 in Flagstaff, and I think, 101.9 out of Wickenburg. She comes on at 12:00 noon. This lady makes Rush and O'Riely look like kindergardeners. If you want info on Obama's associations, give her a listen. Yep, she mixes religion and politics - big time, and unapologetically. Her take on it is "A Biblical perspective of current events." The reason I bring her up to you folks is that she offers a whole buch of information that you can't get out of the mainstream media or even out of Fox. This lady kicks butt. She has important guests on every day, everybody from our former UN embassador to Dr. Almeda King (niece of Martin Luther King) to a miriad of professional people that are paying attention to what's going on in this country. And call-ins. Give her a listen. WARNING: If hearing the name of Jesus has the same effect on you as getting splashed with five gallons of boiling water, you won't last five minutes. For the rest of us, this is a wonderful information scource. Mike

I thank God for these brave young men! You raised him right. Out of your household comes a man, with the heart of a real man. God bless all of you!! Mike

Excellent point Scout'm, We were originally set up as a republic, and you had to be a land owner to vote. I'm hearing now in some states a transient can give a park bench number as an address and vote! Mike

These are the kinds of questions I will have for God one day. All I can do for now is trust Him. I am very sorry for your continued loss, Scotty. I've found as I get older that it never seems to get any easier, only harder. I will continue to pray for your family, and you. Please consider to not let the anger rule you. It will only hurt you. There is seldom ant justice in this world, but the Good Book promises that there is in the next. "Vengence is mine, saith the Lord". Let him have it, you have your hands full taking care of your family. Mike

Dang Lark, nice post! You're talking about prayer, truth, and the exchange of evil for good and good for evil (bad guys/good guys). And you are right on the money. But Obama has promised to sign bills that would make it impossible to ever again challenge abortion and homosexual marraige (there's some more evil for good, and good for evil). He would also be in the position to appoint the next few supreme court judges that will impact our country in a very unfavorable liberal way for the next 3-4 decades. He is a buddy of arabic people; they love him - why? We won't just get the democratic party filling an empty suit (which would be bad enough) we will find out over time what the man really believes which could very well be: Socialism, "share the wealth" Weaker military Favorable to dangerous foriegn leaders Not favorable to Isreal Not in favor of drilling/nuclear - keeping our economy in the hands of mid-east countries Favorable to homosexual agenda Favorable to abortion And apparently favorable to more bone-headed economic ideas - like Fannie Mae. All this stuff is diametrically opposed to what this country was founded upon, and done so well with. He smells like an outright communist, but even that label is too good for what he can turn out to be. Let's all PRAY AND VOTE to do our part in preventing this masked man from winning. Thanks Lark, Mike

He will give us strength when we are at the end of ourselves. Leaning on God first and last was the only way through this situation. If we would only take the time to think about it, we also need God in all the everyday, routine, and mundane things we do as well. Where do we think our next breath comes from? Thanks for sharing the story and your faith. I have also prayed for this man's recovery - and will continue to. 30 years ago, I fell 15 feet from a tree stand, landed on my neck/shoulders and broke 7 vertibrae. I am thankful for my life - and every breath. Praise God. Even in the tough times, praise God. Mike

Why I Can’t Vote For Obama - Huntley Brown-Truth! Summary of the eRumor: An email from Christian music artist Huntley Brown stating reasons why he won’t vote for Barack Obama. The Truth: Huntley Brown is a popular Christian music artist and he told truthorfiction.com that he wrote this email to some friends who were inquiring if he was going to vote for Senator Barack Obama. Brown said that he wasn’t asked if he was going to support the GOP candidate, John McCain, and that this email was primarily directed at his opinion of the Democratic candidate. He also told us that he has problems with both candidates but the differences he has with Senator McCain pale in comparisons with the ones he has with Senator Obama. Brown did not write this email to influence public opinion nor did he expect his response to be forwarded to others which resulted in wide distribution of his opinion on the super information highway. No matter the outcome of this election, Brown told us, that as a Christian, he could be counted to support the President in prayer every day. upda ted 10/10/08 A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet: Why I Can’t Vote For Obama By Huntley Brown Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an e-mail with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but its worth repeating.. First I must say who ever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him. Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means he leads I follow. I can’t dictate the terms he does because he is the leader. I can’t vote black because I am black I have to vote Christian because that’s who I am. Christian first black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I wont be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I know Jesus and accepted him as Lord and savior. In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few wrong economic concerns will soon not matter. We need to follow Martin Luther King’s words don’t j udge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don’t know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007. NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008) To beat Ted Kennedy and Hilary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with. There is a reason planned parenthood gives him a 100 % ratings. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc loves him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the supreme court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted no on partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted no on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue. Lets take a look at the practice he wanted to continue. The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedure A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby) B. The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth20canal. C. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head. D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole. E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed. God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parent notification law. Think about this you can’t give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane. There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years. Obama tells us he has good judgement but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wrights sermons. I wonder why now? Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28 v 19 - 20 Go and make disciples of all nations. This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you, talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him? Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenants that said they have a 1. Commitment to the White Community 2. Commitment to the White Family 3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic 4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired20skills available to the White Community . 5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions 6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System 7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.” Would you support a President who went to a church like that? Just change the word from white to black and you have the tennants of Obamas former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside. This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can’t be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world. A church can’t have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if its a white church or a black church its still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote. Obama’s former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: “Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. Cone is the man Obama’s mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this? So what does all this mean for the nation? In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing judgement. Read 1 Samuel 8. When Israel asked for a king. First God says 1 Samuel 8 v 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.” Then God says 1 Samuel 8 v 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.” 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.” Here is what we know for sure God is not schizophrenic He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God. Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt i t. For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four supreme court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this.I know I can look the other way because of the economy. I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama’s positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends. Since we know someone’s value system has to be placed on the nation, 1 Whose value system should be placed on the nation. 2 Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation? Blessings, Huntley Brown

Same reason they call it "global warming" (it ain't). Same reason they call it "gun control" (it doesn't). Same reason they call it "freedom of choice" (sounds alot better than infanticide), (or murder). Same reason they call it "planned parenthood" (it is neither). Same reason they call it being "gay" (they're not). Same reason they call it "evolution" (there has never been one proven find of a transitional species, nor a proven case of macro evolution - nothing has ever been proven to have evolved). Same reason they say intelligent design is not "scientific" (neither is the theory of evolution by the definition of science). Same reason they call it "tollerance" (If you openly declare the traditional marraige as being between one man and one woman and say the Bible tells us so, you are labeled a closed minded hateful bigot). Mike

I think by this Biden statement, that he just bit Obama on the butt. And Biden is the wise one with experience? I think he is correct about this testing, but a stupid thing to say pollitically if you are trying to win the presidency. Mike

They are all mere men. It matters to me which man is the new pres, but whoever it is is will face some tremendous pressures, and we will be along for the ride. I hope its the man with experience and some form of moral backbone. Regardless, GOD is in charge and will do with the world as He pleases. I read the Book. Hang on fellas... Mike

Thanks Goodolboy for being honest. Mike

I moved to Tonto Basin in April. Since that time I have not had cable or any other kind of TV hooked up. I pay attention to what people are saying and read a little bit of news paper that I find in the lunch room at work. I listen to the debates on NPR, and then turn the radio off before the liberal commentary spin. I mostly listen to Christian radio, 90.9 FM, and the only political programming I listen to is "Janet Parshal's America" at noon every day, where I get the Biblical perspective on world events. Oh yeah, and I read what you guys have to say. Before anyone calls me simple or misinformed, I suggest you listen to 90.9 at noon every day. You will be pleasantly surprised. Nice post Godisgood; keep it uncomplicated, keep it straight, listen to truth - not lies. Mike

This article says Obama stands for the 2nd ammendment but votes against it - always. Kinda like in the debate he said that "abortion is an important emotional and moral issue, and that, of course we don't want abortions, they should be used only as a last resort", yet he votes to keep the barbaric partial birth abortion alive and vehemently opposes any legislation that would ever be any kind of threat to Roe vs. Wade. Is it just me, or does Obama say one thing in the first part of a response and then the opposite thing in the second part? Is this a mixed message, or an outright lie? I can see it. He is not smoke and mirrors - he's just smoke. Mike

Happy b-day Amanda. Thank you for all you do for us! Mike

There is a lot more at stake in this election than our hunting heritage. Mike

Road hunt 'em with a dog. When you spot one tell your dog to "get the squirrel". Squirrel will be treed in a jiffy. Then use your binos to get a real good fix on 'em in the tree. One 22 bullet in the head. If you can't head-shoot 'em, you stink. Then skin the critter immediately! And get 'em on ice before you continue on or you'll be sorry later when you have a limit of squirrels to clean and they're stiff and all jumpin with flees. Mike

Anybody see the Youtube clip of Farrakan refering to Obama as "Messiah"? Mike
