English Health Care Is Horrible
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/03/2009 @ 05:50 PM

Scott, 
     A few months ago a friend of mine had gone to England to visit.   While he enjoyed his visit, one of the things that stuck out was that it seemed almost everyone he saw had very bad teeth - missing teeth, cavities, etc.    
     Well, if that's free health care and they can't handle dental care, how can we expect them to handle things like heart surgery, fighting cancer, fighting viruses, etc.?
     One thing I've found out in over 50 years of being on this earth is the things that are free are worth exactly what you paid for them.   ...

The Utter Insanity of Socialized Medicine
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/03/2009 @ 09:37 AM

Blog Readers:  This "government" health care that the annointed one is pushing is INSANE.  Let me give you an example of socialistic medicine:  Last summer one of my hunting buddies went to Canada to fish.  He fell off a pier onto another one and tore the ligaments off his knee.  EXTREME PAIN!  They rushed him to a Canadian hospital.  They gave him a "card" and said any treatment was free.  A doctor examined him.  The ligaments were ripped off his knee so harshly that pieces of sharp bone came with it and they were balled up in his thigh.  EXTREME PAIN.  The doctor said, "You ...

Hooked: Line and Sinker (on the blog)
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/03/2009 @ 09:27 AM

Scott,

     Yes, some of us are hooked!  You find great stuff and post it.  I don’t always agree with your opinion, but you are passionate about your issues and it’s so refreshing to see someone willing to stand up for what they believe.  Occasionally I steal posts and send them along to other sheep, always giving you or the appropriate writer credit, of course!

Thank you for your blog!

Isn't the mess-iah the answer to 'everything'?
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 06:18 PM

Scott, 
     I am so jaded.  Dave’s response to the beggar should have been….go ask for help from Obama. You voted for him – I thought he was going to make all your problems disappear.

NW:  The mess-iah works in strange ways.  You must not question him, my daughter.

Duncan Tavern Wins Sign Tussle!
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 06:13 PM
     It's been a TWO YEAR fight with the Middlefield Zoning/Village Council to finally get a sign approved to go up in front of the Patio Tavern AKA "The Duncan Tavern", but they finally won (see above).   So much for progress in a town that is dying - you'd think the village "powerbrokers" would WANT a new business opening on the main drag - after all, they are shuttering them left and right in that town...   Arch enemies with religious beliefs that did NOT include drinking stood in the way (Guess who? THE BODY IS A TEMPLE, BABY, TEMPLE!), but it's all over now.  Let's ...

Windmills Are NOT A Viable Source of Electricity
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 06:05 PM

Blog Readers:  I have long "smelled a rat" in terms of these wind turbines being a viable source of electricity.  There is a wind turbine north of Burton and I have NEVER seen enough wind to even MOVE one blade let alone turn it all the way around and around to generate any juice...  Out in Wyoming I've seen those goddamn wind turbines in the Shirley Basin area and they are UGLY.  They RUIN the landscape for sure...  I wouldn't want one anywhere near my land or any national lands for that matter...  Another Obama bullshit theory down the drain...  Surely the failed politician Al Gore must have had something to do with its suggestion ...

CA Hypocrites, Homeless, Scum
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 12:28 PM

Scott:

     I used to fly to California a lot for my job.  Most of the people I meet were far left, nasty, and just plain weird. and that's saying a lot from a person that has been a computer geek for 45 years. I hated going to the bay area and tried to avoid LA if at all possible. As environmentally friendly they claim to be, I found that most of the state is dirty and poorly kept.  Everywhere you look there's trash. It could be from all the homeless or the illegals but I think it's the mindset of Californians. 

     I had a young man, somewhere between 18 and 25, come up to me as I got out of a taxi in ...

Not All CA Residents Are Liberals, But It's Close!
Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 11:03 AM

Scott:

     Who cares?  The people in California are useless liberals anyway.   Look at what they have done to themselves when it comes to spending.   What do you expect from a state that thinks there is no bottom to the money pit, the tax payers.

Dave

**********

Dave:  I have MANY firearms customers from CA and they are as disgusted as we are...  CA is PROOF that if you let MANY illegals in, have liberal policies on spending, let queer marry, have a million stupid social agences coddle people who won't work, etc. THAT ...

Posted By: Scott Weber 07/02/2009 @ 09:40 AM

     I get about 150-300 E-Mails per day - more when the pot boils over with any community issue (I also get a lot of phone calls and visits here at the Gunrunner about area issues).    I welcome all of the correspondence.  However, there are a few rules about submission that I need to go over. 

     If I read an E-Mail and someone is cussing me out or acting like a loopy kid (this goes hand in hand with cussing), then I stop reading and hit "delete".  Then I BLOCK that person.  When I block that person, their E-Mails are deleted at the server and I never see them again.  I don't have ...
