Zimbabwean To America: Enough About The Dumb Lion Already
dailycaller.com ^ | 8/5/2015 | Jim Treacher

For reasons I still don’t understand, America has lost its damn mind about a dead lion. You see, recently some dentist from Minnesota went on a lion-hunting trip to Zimbabwe — which is apparently a thing — and he killed a lion that wasn’t in the designated hunting area. This is, of course, the most important thing in the world.

People are freaking out. Americans whose only experience with lions comes from zoos and nature shows and Disney cartoons are calling for this dentist’s extradition and/or death. They’re hounding the guy. They’re wailing and gnashing their teeth. Hell, before last week, I thought running out of mayonnaise was the only thing that could bring Jimmy Kimmel to tears.

This was merely the MSM protecting the big story on body parts. Very transparent, as usual.

That’s no lion, he’s the patron saint of nature.

When citizens in a country lack the personal freedom, and the free market tradition to have a vital economy (as the USofA once had) then they must resort to whatever activity can support their continuing existence, such as poaching elephants, or selling wildlife out to hunters whose only purpose for killing is to stroke their deficient egos.

That’s only one of the many things America has lost its mind over.

Dead Confederate officers, monuments, and a flag.
Turning the White House into a Gay flag.
Homosexual “marriage”
Obamacare
And, other looney tune liberal ideas.

The current American hysteria is inspired by the left to get minds off PP.

Bury the story in the garden next to the stupid lion.

We are at a disadvantage, as McConnell & The Drunk have given Obama 100% of everything he wants since November, and the GOP is just fine with Obamacare, amnesty, and faggots.

Okay. Apparently I’m not clever enough to get the joke with the “Cecil is alive and well” post.

It looks like a different lion in each video, but is that the joke?

Can someone with a better sense of humor please give me a hint?

First World Problem: Outrage over some lion.
Third World Problem: Not having enough lion meat to go around.

I think the author posted something about emailing him if you didn’t get it. Maybe it’s he’s alive in the memory of folks who held cecil near and dear to their hearts. You know the stories where the kindly villagers would go and cavort with him and go swimming, tell jokes, share meals etc.

It's time for Trump/Cruz.

It's called displacement.

The Planned Parenthood videos are on the verge of waking American women up.

So the political shrinks displaced their horror into a lion killing, where they would feel safe expressing their rage over a politically correct subject.

The political manipulation of cognitive dissonance stress is big, big business. It's got experts, graphs, charts, retreats, and even apps.

Nothing is an accident. It might be terminally stupid and fail miserably time after time, but it's not an accident.
