So the combined FBMG/MadOgre www.wethearmed.com board has been up for about a week.

It is growing well. It is taking on a good life, with good members, and has reached that traffic point where it is self sustaining. Pretty sweet.

Orson Scott Card needs no introduction, unless you live under a rock. He’s the dude that wrote Ender’s Game, one of the finest novels of all time. Card does a good job calling out the media bias.
With THR going through legal battles, Madogre.com and FBMG are joining forces to make a new forum. www.wethearmed.com
This is a forum for people who love guns and freedom. We expect people to be nice to each other, so if you’re a 13 year old airsofter who likes to tell combat veterans about their guns, this might not be the board for you.
There are also sections on fun, off-topic stuff.
We are going to be shutting down the www.fbmg.yuku.com and transitioning to the new board.
Here is a great article about how FDR made the Great Depression worse.

I know that goes against typical liberal dogma about how capitalism sucks and how only the government can save us. As I was growing up, I listened to my Grandpa talk about FDR. He hated the man. My Grandpa was a self-employed farmer from a long line of farmers. He also understood math.
My Grandpa’s most hated social program of that time was the WPA, which if I recall correctly was Works Projects Administration. Grandpa Joe always said that it stood for We Poke Along. Basically take a bunch of people without jobs and then have the government randomly pay them to do something. According to my Grandpa, the work was usually unnesscary, and anybody with any ambition bailed as soon as they could, leaving a bunch of slackers to sit around, drink, and get tax money. I’m sure Barack’s Paid Volunteer programs will be similar.
As you can see, Joe’s custom pink gun went to some cool people: http://bojuliesmithfamily.blogspot.com/2008/10/we-won.html
Bo has been through our tactical carbine class, and shot a very manly M14 last time. I don’t know if he’s going to run the pink gun on the next go around or not. Congratulations guys.
