The problem with these off-topic, political threads...

I don't think I'm alone in that respect.

FWIW
Joe, I respect that opinion.

...Sounds exactly how I feel too! I have stepped away from this NG more than a
few times.
My interest is freshwater lake boating and try to see where I would fit in. I
have drifted off topic a few times as well (guily as charged...) and mentioned
my beliefs and political opinions once and got ripped to shreds by a few
people. Like, I'm some horrible evil creature because:
* I am a moderate, conservative, middle of the road republican.
* I am an outdoorsman, fisherman, hunter, etc...
* Heck, I go to a Presbyterian church on occasion too. Does that make me a bad
person?
Let's get back to boating and enjoying the outdoors on the water.

Butch- I have always enjoyed your posts, and pictures. The group may,
or may not, change, but I hope you'll continue to post here. You seem
to love boats, and so do I.
I'm thinking of buying a "mud motor" for my jon boat for duck hunting,
and nobody in my area knows anything about them. I also just bought a
'30-.06 Browning auto for deer season. Haven't hunted deer from a
boat in years.  ) ...just kidding about the boat...
This group, for the years that I have been here, is good. You might
need to sort through the fertilizer.
My belief is that politics does not matter when you turn the key, and
the damned thing starts. It's all good after that.
Thanks for the reply.
