Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Da Coyote.
What’s the story behind your name? I joined a group trying to keep Space Above and Beyond on the air many years ago. The group was organized as a fighter squadron that had a canine theme. I selected Coyote (sort of doggish) and soon after the show was canceled. I kind of liked the nickname, rather fitting for me if you’ve ever seen a Road Runner cartoon, and so I began to use it as my online alias other places. But Coyote was, more often than not, already taken. As was “The Coyote”. So I threw a “Da” in front of it. That makes it different enough that it is usually not already taken. So now in many corners of the net I’m known as ‘Da Coyote’
Where do you live? Beaverton, Oregon
How old are you? 34 years and change.
Tell us briefly about yourself. 34, married, one kid, employed, in debt up to my hairline (which is receding), concealed handgun permit bearer, gun owner, voter, and though such titles are too vague to properly describe the range of issues involved you might call me a ‘Libertarian Federalist’. Maybe it’s just easier if I say that I haven’t read anything from Thomas Sowell that wasn’t right on the money.
Trolls: Do they make comments more or less entertaining? Depends on if it’s a Ron Paul supporter or not.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Off and on for about 1 1/2 years.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? I’d have to go with the Fred Thompson Facts.
What’s you favorite political issue? Not a ‘favorite’, but I’m most passionate about the right to bear arms. Federalism is a close second, but I truly believe that the day the government goes for the guns is the day America, and the world in general, will fall into a new dark age.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I have a ‘space’ with the MSN network that comes with my net access called “Blatant Plagiarism with a smile” but I’ve never got around to putting anything there. One of these days perhaps I will post a tome of wisdom there for the betterment of humanity. Probably not though.
If you had enough strength to throw someone across a room, how often do you think you would do that? I do have enough strength to throw someone across the room- but my two-year-old hasn’t quite eroded my sanity that far yet.
If you commented that you want to be included before, you’re still in the running. You can also comment in this post; just make sure you fill in your e-mail on the comment form (only I can see it so you don’t have to worry about getting spam). Eventually we’ll get to everyone. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!
In that case, Coyote, would you rather your gun be pried from their dead hands or yours? We all know what Da Coyote does with Da liberal chickens!
Oregon, eh? (I’m almost far enough north of you to get away with that!) Liberal, blue state. I guess we can feel sorry for each other then.
LOL, I was going to say the same thing: a conservative in Oregon? Do you have rifts in the fabric of reality around you? We’re just south of you in the PNW. And I doubt any of those nuts in Salem and Portland will come for our guns, I don’t think they know we’re here.
Being a conservative in Oregon…you damn well better own a gun and you better know how to use it!
In truth most native born Oregonians are relatively conservative. Unforntunately us ‘native born Oregonians’ are, quite literally, in the minority. Between the liberals pouring in from places like NYC, LA & Saddam- I mean, San Fran and the Russian, Latin American and South East Asian immigrants that know nothing but socialism the whole state has been yanked decisively to the left. Fortunately there are enough free (that is, armed) citizens in OreGUN to ensure that any socialist revolution will fail miserably.
eh heh heh heh… you live in Beaverton… heh heh heh
I live in Portland! It’s nice to know that there are more conservatives in this state than just me. Isn’t Tom Potter a tool?
OK FrankJ… I’ll play your game. Yes, I did your weird bidding on that strange attempt to snark KOS. And I have added a many comments. So, am I in the running for a profile thing?
We shall see what we shall see.
[You’re in the running… and I have no idea what you’re talking about. -Ed.]
I gave up on Portland back in the Katz administration. When you can’t have a Christmas tree in the town square for fear of a lawsuit, then turn around and erect a huge menorah in the that very same town square, or spend $400,000 of public money on a huge metal phallic symbol (interesting how that piece of public art was erected on the “Gay Triangle”) then demand a tax increase to fund the city’s schools, or even bother to acknowledge the presence of professional demonstrators (as in the drug addicts hired from the local day labor center to hold a picket sign because the liberals have better things to do with their time) ‘protesting’ the replacement of so-called “antique” MANHOLE COVERS, then I say the place is ready for a major natural disaster. Normally I’d go with flood, but we tried that already and it didn’t work. So I’d say severe earthquake, or at the very least, a serious Birkenstock shortage.
