Hard to beat the north shore of Minnesota for scenery. MN 61 is one of the best drives in the country. Fish or no fish, a great time, I'm sure. -Dan |

Got to me tons of feeding lies in it. If you do, wet or dry? Any special techniques? And how do you keep from loosing tons of gear in the rocks? -T (Your favorite arguing table) |

The second picture in this set is sunrise over Lake Superior. It's hopper season up here. I just tie on a size 14 orange or yellow hoppulator/stimulopper (my lazy man's tie that is half hopper, half stimulator). Nothing special, just hopper fishing. Losing gear ? I don't know what you mean. The only thing in my hands is my fly rod, everything else has a place either in a pocket or on the lanyard. If I'm going to be up there all day with a lunch and a water bottle I'll wear my vest. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Fishing them dry would get them up above the obstructions. My problem is that I tend to fish everything wet. I love drowned Adams, for instance. -T |

There's a half hour around sunrise every morning when Artist's Point is a bird free zone. We're the only ones out there and Kaylin polices the bird free zone with energy and joy. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Not any more. I'd really love to know your thoughts on the wet fly problem. Just because you are a liberal, doesn't mean you do not know how to fish. -T |

I don't use them when the fish are attacking hopper patterns with reckless abandon, that would be as stupid as listening to Limbaugh. Apparently you have a problem with losing a lot of wet flies to the rocks. All I can advise is ponder the question; "How do you get to Carnegie Hall ?".

And that is an opinion from someone who is more open-minded than an idiot like you will ever be. Hi Ken, I have a close, dear liberal friend whose opinion I highly respect. He is fascinating to listen to when he has researched a subject. I may have been projecting his personality on to you because you were both liberal. He also listens to Rush, but only the sound clips he hears on leftist MSNBC, etc.. Quite a few times he has complained to me about something Rush has said that I actually heard the entire statement on Rush's show. When I told him the entire statement, he was puzzled as to how something could be presented so out of context (bearing false witness by the way). Since you sound so similar to my fried on Rush, I thought you were doing the same thing: listening to things out of context. And, since I love to hear my friends well reasoned opinions, I was thinking you were capable of the same. You are not him and for this I apologize. And remember this Todd, if Jesus were walking the earth today he would be a liberal and he would kick the **** out of the Limbaughs of this world just like he kicked the **** out of the vendors in the temple. This first time you said something like this, I thought you were kidding and had a great laugh. I told you you needed to go fishing (as if any of us really needed on excuse). Now I realize you were not. For Jesus to be a liberal would require serious revisions to those 10 commandments. For example: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors possessions (socialism, class envy); Thou shalt not bear false witness (you hear Kennedy carry on about judge Bork and Thomas?); Thou shalt have no other gods before me (liberalism is a competing religion with Christianity); and my all time favorite, *Thou shalt not murder* (abortion, infanticide, snowing granny). So, no he would not be a liberal. -T Oh, and Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, but that is more a Clinton/Kennedy thing. You know, Oboma votes three time to leave infants to die of exposure in the Illinois legislature because it would over ride the original decision of the mother to murder ("abort" was his word) her child. Now that is really, really cold blooded. Might even say "evil" |

Limbaugh is a clown, a running joke, an embarrassment to thinking conservatives and he most certainly does not represent the educated and articulate conservative point of view in a debate between liberals and conservatives. For reasoned conservative discourse you'll need to read, as I do, Krauthammer, Will, Brooks, Gerson, Gingrich and Cal Thomas. Listening to Limbaugh is in no way listening to a reasoned opinion. If you really want work on curing your abysmal ignorance subscribe to this new quarterly and read it cover to cover: http://www.nationalaffairs.com/ You'll find essays with meat on them from both conservatives and liberals instead of the steady diet of feel-good cotton candy Limbaugh dishes out to entertain morons like you. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Dave Hi Dave, I know a lot of very smart people that did not go to college and a lot of dumb ones that did. Ditto for those who don't know what the "any key" is and those that smoke. I know a lot of divorced people too of all shades. Those qualities have zero to do with one's ability to form a decent argument. Rush' prescription drug problems were from that evil oxi-crap stuff he was taking for his back, not his anus. That evil oxi-crap is a one dose addition. A lot of people hate Rush and make a lot of nasty stuff up about him. Be careful of your sources. (The oxi-crap/back problems I heard out of his own mouth.) I believe in limited government, freedom, and personal responsibility. Rush agrees with me. He does a very good job or articulating these values. By the way, because a person disagrees with you, does not mean he is not articulate. A lot of us conservatives think that [Bill] Clinton was the consummate politician, disagree with him as we may. The same goes for our current president and his silver tongued teleprompter (articulate but not a very good politician, Clinton runs circles around him). May I point out that Martin Luther King was an absolute pig in his personal life (hookers, communists, plagiarism). It is his words that I am listening to. Judging people by the strength of their character rather than the color of their skin is moral point that should resonate with all of us, even if he did plagiarize that too. Are Martin Luther King's words to be discounted because he had a thing for white hookers? Judge Rush by his words and leave his personal life out of it. (By "words", I mean words out of his own mouth, not hatchet jobs by political commentators/propagandists posing unbiased journalists.) By the way, there is nothing wrong with saying "I don't listen to [insert name here] because I do not like him so I will not comment on what I did not hear him say". Agreeing with Rush's and Dr. King's words, does not make me want to emulate either of their personal lives. And, yes, it is a pity that Rush can not stay married for his life. (It is easy, just listen to your wives. That would be St. Paul's teaching. Pampering them a little bit helps too.) Thank you for just stating your point and forgoing the swearing and name calling (Brown Shirt tactics). Makes a person much more likely to listen to you and not think you are intolerant and close minded (and just plain mean and uncivil). I have a close liberal friend and I love to hear his analysis of things as he does mine. In the end, we agree on almost nothing, but we both appreciate the other hearing us out and respecting the others thoughts. Respect is a good thing in a friendship. And lastly HAVE YOU DONE ANY FISHING LATELY! :-) -T |

The GOP has been in a cynical, symbiotic relationship with the ignorant, racist, uneducated, less affluent white trash of rural and southern America for so long, ever since Nixon, I don't know if they know how to take their Party back or even if they want to. It seems to me no matter what kind of garbage spews from the mouths of Limbaugh, Hannity or Beck the GOP is scared to death to denounce it and when they do, reflexively, denounce the most egregious slurs they are forced to apologize immediately and kiss pundit ass. I think one of the unintended consequences of electing a black man President of the US is to marginalize the GOP as a minor regional party of the South. In other words, I think Todd is more mainstream GOP than not. Of course, he is also a whackjob minion of Satin. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry |

Don't even pretend that your politics are reasoned. Folks like you have rolled around in snake religion so long you think blue bottles are doves. There is an old book entitled "The True Believer," by Vance Packard. Read it sometime, its all about your kind of thinking. And Todd, you are not a real conservative. In my experience most of the folks who spout your racist, intolerant crap, pretending they get it straight from God have not read the Christian Bible or any other book of spiritual teaching cover to cover, they usually have some shameful honkey tonken in their past, some kids they don't support, a history of welfare abuse and too often sexual and/or child abuse. They oscillate between social service agencies and sect churches and back again. But somehow Jesus frees them from guilt or being men and taking responsibility for their sins. They almost always think their particular sect is the one and only way and historically have preyed upon weaker sects and vunerable people. If you are sincere get humble and go work on that crowd of your fallen brethern, or maybe yourself. As for your BS about government and your slurring the patriotism of Americans you call "liberals." I will just say this. If we meet in the next few years keep that stuff to yourself. I don't care if you are wearing your pastor collar or have your Madrasa diploma in your pocket. I have no tolerance or impluse control for new folk who think they can pull that **** on me. I am not like your "liberal friend." the patsy. Dave |

They oscillate between social service agencies and sect churches and back again. But somehow Jesus frees them from guilt or being men and taking responsibility for their sins. They almost always think their particular sect is the one and only way and historically have preyed upon weaker sects and vunerable people.

Todd, in the short time you've been fouling roff with your hate-filled ignorance you have proven yourself to be a proud card-carrying member of the American Taliban. Jesus would take one short look at an allegedly christian creep like you and puke all over his Birkenstocks. Hmmm, "hate-filled ignorance", "American Taliban", "christian creep". Sticks and stones. "Birkenstocks!!!!" Oh now that is below the belt! :-) Ken, in the short time I have known you, I have approached you with respect and friendship. You have responded with profanity, name called, and slurs. Your behavior has been reprehensible. Worst part of all this is that you have lost a potential friend. And, I make a very good friend. -T |

See Beancounter's thread? Up to 402 now. He gets to post his whackjob hate Obama stuff there and folks get to read it or not. He posts non- political stuff elsewhere and no one gives him much **** there. Obama hate posts outside his Obama Hate thread gets some bite-back. Accomodation. Result: Fellowship still possible among people who disagree on lots of stuff. You could get something like that working for you. Maybe something like a "Rush, Jesus and Todd" thread where mostly you get to share your mishmash. Then you could restrain working the Rush and Jesus into your posts on the other threads, let folks get to know you, experience more of the rough and tumble of ROFFIAN "debate" and maybe even share some fishing face times, which is one of the best parts of ROFF. You might find that there are more than a few real conservatives and Jesusites on ROFF, and you would certainly find yourself less a target for bitebacks. Dave |

Okay Todd. I'm a Democrat that listens to Rush. This work for you?
Things in the last two weeks that he has spouted that are totally wrong that I've heard. (not a complete laundry list, just a couple of things I heard whilst driving) Clinton cowardly pulled us out of the Philippines. Check it out, the Philippine government blackmailed us and quadrupled the amount of money they wanted so that we could keep our bases there. Our carriers would do the job for a cheaper price. With everyone in the military saying get us out, we left. Government workers don't don't pay into Social Security - Oh, come on now, you know how many times I've heard this from Rush, Glenn Beck and Savage? Yes we do. He confuses Senators with the rest of the government workers. I only get a little Rush Limbaugh (about 1/2 hour in two weeks) time during my work week because I'm WORKING during this time period. I put Rush right up there with "The View." Its self-admitted entertainment with a political message. By the way, Star Trek and Leave It to Beaver aren't real either. As Rush himself says, check your facts. I do. I don't slavishly hold to one view or another. If someone in the media says something I feel reflects upon my view, I look it up in the public record. And oh, by the way, I signed my name on the dotted line saying that I would die to preserve the separation of church and state as our founding fathers wished, so keep religion out of political arguments.

Frank Reid Hi Frank, Now that's what a liberal sound like that actually listens to Rush. Not a single remark about his anus. He didn't call me a single name either. Even though he is very displeased with Rush, he kept it to the area of ideas. To respectfully disagree with you, there is no separation of church and state in the constitution. That was a creation of the supreme court in the 19 century. Thomas Jefferson did make a remark about it in one of his writing. The constitution bars the establishment of a state religion. The supreme court even has a copy of the ten commandments on the front of its building. When I got the racism insult flung at me, I though everyone should know my moral beliefs actually were. I did not know that about that the PI. Thank you. See, he was respectful and I actually listen to him. Thank you for signing on the dotted line. So did I. -T |
