</p><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font size="3">Yes it did turn to CRACKERFEST when someone decided to try and smir an event which is and has become an annual event with the sole purpose of getting families together and fishing with their kids!

When we fail to compromise bad things occur. Without the first amendment this country would not be as successful as it is today. Nations rise and they fall. We are not one the rise any longer.

I just thought this was funny that this thread tarted out in one direction then twisted to <font size="4">grown men bitching about something to do with the crackerfest</font>, but once again it is actually very great that we can do this because some countries would not be permitted to have this discussion. I just want to make sure that we concentrate on the things that really matter in this country and this forum.
</p>outcaster - 9/8/2009 7:00 PM Because I am a Democrat and a Liberal (for these parts), My views on Religion and Politics have cost me in various ways over the years. I have had an Obama sticker ripped off my car at a Church were my daughter was asked to sing. I have had my my son left off baseball allstar teams and not invited to birthday parties because of a John Kerry sign in my yard. Most recently at a kids fishing event/tx sponsored by this forum, when the Obama sicker was noticed on my van, I, nor my boys were spoken too or congratulated after winning the event. My oldest boy commented on the way home that should have drove the other vehicle to the weight in. .

Doc, I feel the only way to help the country is to tell the truth and to question Obama's big gov't socialist agenda. The good of the country should come before any politician Republican or Democrat. I believe Obama's ultimate goal is to coax our public in to thinking that they are recieving something for free, this in turn will buy votes in order to keep himself and his party in power. Big gov't socialism is the biggest sham going because it does not reward individuals for hard work. This creates an unmotivated public that looks to gov't for all the answers (do you remember what happened during Hurricane Katrina). This type of big gov't intrusion hinders any type of entreprenurship or new inventions whether they be medical, industrial, etc... It is just so crystal clear to me that I can hardly believe that any one person with the slightest bit of common sense can't grasp the true nature of socialism. The proof is there look to history! Socialism has never worked. Have some faith in the free market it works it has created the Jewel of the world and that is the United States of America and this freedom is something that I would fight and die for.
That is what I was trying to say. Why would a topic such as this one's original intent become about how someone was mistreated at a fishing tournament? I was not implying that anyone on either side of this fence should not take offense.JSV - 9/9/2009 9:33 PM

<span style="font-family: Verdana"><font size="3">I as well as others have worked and spent much of OUR money for the kids and some A@# brings a social event for kids into the political debate! YES I will stand up and call (Expletive Delitive)on Outcaster and him thinking we would not associate with him or his family because of a political view! CRACKERFEST is for the sole purpose of getting families together and spending the day with their kids or other children! Outcaster is wrong and full of s#$^!!!! We spend our $$$, time and effort for kids not a political agenda!! </font></span></p>

outcaster - 9/9/2009 11:05 AM I guess I just imagined it all, silly me. Now bbass and jsv sound like they want to kick my A$$. What a joke that is! Just because some of you acted like jerks then and are acting jerks now when I call you on it doesn't really change anything. The link below just is the original Crackerfest "Fishing report" Check out all the responses from all the cffer's attending the event. So I guess they just forgot to take the 3 seconds to congratulate 2 boys and would just post something later on that evening. I guess the best part of the day was taking your money home with us. I guess I'm not surprised by the reaction. Also bbass, are my political views and posts holding up my latest HOF submission? hmmm It's been a couple of weeks now, just asking. http://www.chattanoogafishingforum.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=32034&posts=4&mid=247689&highlight=&highlightmode=1&action[/QUOTE] </p>

I do want to apologize for getting worked up and cussing on my last post however you were not treated unfairly and as I said before you were treated as all past winners. PS...It’s not all about you. This was an event for kids. The good thing about this is these kids are at an age where politics really doesn't matter to them. Although Mom or Daddy may try and ram views down their throat! Most are at an age where they could careless about who is President and what political side you are on. They will form their own opinion as they go through life. The Cracker fest was and always will be an event designed to promote family and the love of the outdoors. We don't care who weighs the biggest sack of fish. All we care about is the kids have a good time and each walks away with something and a smile on their face. I am sorry more didn't respond to your report but don't blame it on politics! PS...in the results post it is funny you didn't have anything bad to say and the kids had a smile on their face in the picture post. I believe you are showing a great example what a real JERK is! http://www.chattanoogafishingforum.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=32061&posts=9&highlight=crackerfest&highlightmode=1</p>

You are right about WWII. Technically it put the last nail in the coffin of the Great Depression. To begin with we remained neutral then we began to ship supplies to our allies which stimulated the economy. WWII helped in a big way, but the New Deal program did a great deal to help our economic situation. Hoover also tried to help the economy, but his plan was to just give everyone money just like Bush an Obama. We all know this does not work. It tends to make the GDP model look alot like it does during and after Christmas each year. This is a great discussion! Democrats and Republicans will always mean certain things, and furtheremore what each party supports will continue to change. These guys are in the business of getting elected and staying in office by keeping us happy. The question they really need to ask themselves is "who to keep happy. There are issues that Obama is not truly a left winger on and the same goes for other Republicans. My point is these people join a party for the same reasons we do because we believe our beliefs are close to theirs. These parties will continue to change the beliefs as our society changes as do the needs of the people.
