What a stupid posting. You think the democrats are going to solve your
problems? You think these people care
about your liberties? Are you dumb or what.

Take a listen to Al Gore. He goes on and on about global warming. Then he
gets into a private jet to go and talk some more.

Or some of the liberal ideas about protecting you from yourself.

The liberal phonys such a Hilary, Al, Al Sharpton, etc will tax you off the
earth. And while you are living in a shack
they will tell you why it is so good for you and they had to do it for the
"Children".

I hate em all. The Repubs, the Democrats... all of them.

My basic philosophy.. Leave me the F alone.

Ameria was a great country. Not anymore. It is a cesspool.

The federal government which you want to give the liberals control of can't
even control the border between the US and
Mexico.

What are you going to do when there are more Mexicans living here than US,
US Citizens?

Tennis anyone?

Oh, no, that's right, those balls could have anthrax or radio isotopes in
them.

This is one of those situations where we can remind the powers that be
that America's boaters can be part of solution, not just another
problem. We know our waters and fellow boaters better than any
Coastie can hope to attain. In all prior wars, we have been viewed as
allies, not enemies. To my way of thinking, the current "stay away"
policy makes sense and should be sufficient for all purposes.

Granted, this is a different war, and a different administration
(which seems to view ordinary citizens as a threat). I am hopeful
(but not confident) that liberty will not be seen as inconsistent with
security; it is shameful that we are being attacked for our liberties
and respond by taking them away. Perhaps if we can elect a few people
who are more interested in preserving our rights than in concentrating
power for the benefit of their friends, we will return to the country
that so many have admired and emulated for centuries (as opposed to
the current attitude, where our leaders are despised).

If the Coast Guard is willing to listen, I'm willing to help them come
up with policies that make sense. If they decide to track every day
sailor, the CG will no resources for the jobs that count.
