I will follow the rules of this board, but I will say that allowing the rest of the post to remain in the fishing discussion is a double standard. The post has nothing to do with a lure, reel, where the fish are, or how many were caught. It is about federal funding. I recognize the moderators have the right to do whatever they want.
