I am a Mountaineer! Born and raised in the fantastic state of West Virginia! A great state where people are honest, kind, trustworthy and very loyal to God, nation, state and family. We are not about what's popular but about what is right! So don't hassle me with your biased, media based opinions, if you want my respect then go out and learn for yourself what is truly happening in the world. Talk to people and listen to them not the media. Get on line and see what people really think and how they feel. That is the way to know the world today. I think everyone has a right to exist and a right to become who they desire to be within the boundaries of common courtesy. We all must live together so we must abide by common laws that help us protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Our country needs help to survive the attacks of our freedom that has become more of an internal matter then an external one. Do Americans really need to surrender all of our freedom to guaranty safety? Well let me tell you what our fore fathers knew, safety can not be guaranteed for anyone and anytime. We can just make it very costly for our enemies to do us harm. This does not guaranty our safety but it does keep us free. I don’t need the insurance lobby telling my government to pass laws to make me wear a seat belt! I don’t need a law to tell people when and where to smoke! I personally am a non-smoker, however if I do not want to breath second hand smoke I can go to places that cater to my needs. I should not make everyone quit just because it suits my needs. This is the erosion of freedom that will not stop until we are all numbered, cataloged and controlled. Remember Mountaineers are always free! Oh, and I am a fun loving guy!
