My youngest son (who voted for Obama) and I were watching TV a few weeks ago and he forced me to sit through a show on a network called Comedy Central called the Colbert Report. It was entertaining but.... the Stephen Colbert show ended with Stephen's gun telling him to say good night to the studio audience. Now maybe I'm an old fashioned guy or maybe it's that I'm a retired serviceman, but I have some mixed feelings about flashing a gun around, even if it ain't real. My son said I was getting all fired up for no reason. I have to disagree (since he's never served what can he know about how offensive this could be taken?)
There's a certain level of respect that a gun demands. So while I do understand the humorous tone and that Stephen probably didn't mean to russle any feathers, its my personal opinion that a gun should be respected, especially when you consider that there very well might have been some youngsters watching. Guns ain't no laughing matter, they are a point of pride in the history of this Godfearing country.
Let me know how ya'll feel on this. Am I just a crazy old man or do I have a solid point here?
