I have been a member of a certain fishing forum for about 15 years. During that time any number of threads have come up that dealt with the politics of that state in regards to wildlife conservation, license fees, water politics, etc. Yesterday I visited the site and there was a thread about the closure of fishing in other states as well as the local closure of many beaches and lakes which would otherwise be places for folks to fish during this shut down period.
I made the comment that total closure of fishing and hunting was likely not to far away since the governor and the legislature of this state have never been sportsman friendly and a lot of the citizens think more of the rights of the fish and game than of the sportsmen who fund their very existence.
I was censured by the moderators who claimed my post was "too political" and critical of the government.
That will be my last visit to the forum and I have deleted my membership. Just one more example of how I see people and organizations turning belly up to not offend the idiots who are doing their best to suppress our rights and discard 250 years of American traditions.
