Enough!!


The   Boy Scout of America and their issue with gays is at once ludicrous not as Christian as they purport to be. Not so long ago, they were not that thrilled with minorities either. Considering my thoughts on this, first what does gay look like? It is easy to identify some one of another race by several factors such as skin color,speech patterns or some other physical facial feature. How do you identify some who is gay?, do they look like Rock Hudson, Jim Nabors or Randolph Scott? Coincidently all gay. It truly amazing that there still some “Christians” who are holier than thou yet condemn their fellow humans for who they are. These are possibly the same people who are for the “water boarding” of “suspected terrorists” and who during the Civil war  strung up any person of color who was in the wrong place at the “right” time or maybe did not move to the back of the bus. How many  of “those” people have been successful members of the scouts up the rank of Eagle without tainting this “hallowed”  institution?   Enough, enough  and   enough ,the scouts need to man up and be who they were supposed to be when started. There is no place for an organization discriminates based on out dated and unfounded ” christian?” beliefs. Christ preached forgiveness and acceptance unfortunately some his  modern followers don’t. Is there a need for a name change- for instance B_ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of America!

Chris Kyle


The recent murder of Ex Sniper Chris Kyle is a tragedy for America. This combat veteran devoted his time to assisting fellow vets with after service problems and was killed by one of the same veterans he was helping. This tragedy points out the need for more professional help on the part of the military for the discharged and active members. No matter what so called firearms laws exist or will exist, the mental state of veterans and others is a big unresolved issue. It is unfortunate that it takes a tragedy to bring the mental health part of the problem to the front-again. The NRA and others have seemingly failed to grasp the idea that no one in Government is trying to put more laws on Fire Arm owner, the impetus is focused on keeping weapons out of the hands of persons who should not have them. The many State and Federal laws which many firearm owners have just a small amount of knowledge about need some adjusting so they work as first proposed. The divide between government and pro firearm factions is  resolvable if the “I am right and you aren’t” attitude goes a way.  We already know that the criminal elements will never, ever register a weapon of any sort but seem always be able to get them. The legal forearms owners and purchasers pay the price for it. The legal firearm owners pay again when these assorted reports on proposed or just talked about new or improved fire arm laws creates a flurry of demand  further boosting prices on firearms and accessories. This on top of asinine proposals like a tax on firearms and ammunition above what is already paid. There needs to be a more respectful legacy for folks like Chris Kyle who spent his military afterlife doing what the military should be doing.
