[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 183559, member: 6277"] So many times we are being force fed these "Choices" Certain groups think they know what is Best for us even though we do not want it. If you have not noticed yet I am very pro gun. that is not just because I like guns but it is just one of the things that people are trying to take away. First they take away our 2nd Amendment rights then what is next? Our 1st Amendment right of Free Speech? There is a large group of people here in the US that are not willing to give up any of our rights to the government no matter what the cost. I am from Alabama and we really have a bad history of Civil Rights. I will be the first to admit that. George Wallace was our governor for many years and if you know anything about our State history you will see him as a racist. [B]GEORGE WALLACE[/B]: [I] In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever.[/I] Many, Many years later in a interview he explained his views. He said that when all this was going on that the majority of the people in the state wanted segregation and his job was to do what the voters wanted no matter what his views were. In his later years he became a champion of the blacks in our state. That did not receive the press as much as his earlier years did. I never agreed with his racist views but in my later years I understood why he did what he did. We elect our leaders and they should do the will of the people and not try to use their office to further their agenda. (Stepping down off my soapbox now) [/QUOTE]
