And I not only support our troops, I work for the military. I've seen far more people taking offense to rejections of those things on your sign than I've seen people actually being offended by them.

But, this is a fishing forum. We should stick to fishing talk. I just thought you should know that not everyone thinks exactly like you, yet we can still be friends. In my opinion, the break down of civil discourse is a large part of our issues in this country now. The media drives it, social media multiplies it, and things like your sign do nothing to help.

Happy fishing.

Hmm, not sure. Politics not allowed on crappie.com even though I’m in agreement with the sign. May have to take this down if it becomes too controversial. Make friends not enemies.

Slab if you need to take the post down, or if it violates a crappie.com policy, no problems with me. I didn’t post the picture for a political reason or to be confrontational. The sign doesn’t have anything to do with politics in my opinion. The sign just sums up my personal beliefs pretty concisely. My customers will either agree with it or not. If they do, great. If they don’t, that’s fine too. If it gains me business or costs me business, I’m fine with it either way. At least they’ll know where I stand. Unfortunately it seems as though in this day and time, standing up for your beliefs unfortunately gets mistaken for politics or even worse. People are more worried about offending someone than they are in living out their principles. I just posted the picture because I really like the sign and wanted folks to see it. That’s all.

I'd hang it in my office or shop for your exact reasons.

No worries FF. The sign does have the word politics ("politically" to be exact) in it. But it's just what we try to do here, we try to stay out of the controversies. We try to have at least one place where we can get away from all the JUNK on the Internet. There's lots of other places for controversy, prolly too many places. We are all about "family, friends, fishing and fun". Pretty much in that order. Think "Disney" clean. But like I said, no worries. If it does go south we can always take it down.
