"And away from the dinner table I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher) and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)...."---Bark Hussein Obama, writing in Dreams From My Father
(No typo.)
***********************************
Yes, it matters. Yes, it matters a great deal.
This little quote speaks volumes. It shows just how foreign Obama truly is. It shows how foreign his upbringing was. Not only that, it also shows how much the Arrogant and Lazy Mainstream Media sucks at its job.
Now, before we get started, yes, I know that former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers may have ghost written Chairman Obama's books. However, that changes nothing. Even if Ayers ghost wrote the above quote, that doesn't mean it wasn't proofread by the future American dictator, nor does it mean that Ayers wasn't given first hand accounts about Bark's life, this incident included.
Back to the matter at hand.
This quote, among thousands admittedly far more important, illustrates just how foreign Obama's upbringing truly was and how truly foreign his thought processes are. For thousands of years, dogs have been domesticated by humans living in western civilization. Dogs (along with cats) are universally accepted as pets, but not as food. Many western cultures have outlawed the eating of dogs and cats for that purpose. It's a social more. Most folks find eating dogmeat almost as repugnant as polygamy and incest. It simply isn't done by normal people with a normal upbringing.
But yet, in the above quote, Obama is treating it as if it was no big deal, like eating duck pate or escargot. That coudn't be further from the truth. It's barbaric. To a lot folks in western civilization, especially those who consider their pets part of the family like I do, this is almost like admitting that one ate Aunt Gladys for dinner. The very fact that this was included in his autobiography, when there was no real reason to do so, shows just how out of touch Bark Obama truly is with American culture.
The worst thing about it is the fact that the Arrogant and Lazy Mainstream Media isn't making more of this. I know they're doing their doggone best to make sure their Fuhrer gets another term to finish off America, but hey, just once, can't they pretend to be Americans who have a vested interest in American culture ? More importantly, as Mark Levin brilliantly asked, why isn't the Arrogant and Lazy Mainstream Media asking when Bark Obama stopped eating the flesh of Man's Best Friend ?
Yes, I know I should be writing about Bark Obama's countless scandals, ranging from arming Mexican drug cartels with Operation Fast and Furious to aiding the Muslim Brotherhood take control of Libya. I get it. In the grand scheme of things, this is nowhere near as important as those crimes against humanity. However, we can't lose sight of things like this. After all, snippets like this from Bark Obama's childhood explain why he's the [fill in your favorite curse word here] he is today. What's more important, it's a barometer of what kind of [fill in your favorite curse word here] he'll be if he gets another four years without having to worry about be reelected.
We are on the edge of complete economic, political, and social disaster. I can't gussy it up. I can't make it sound palatable. The truth is what the truth is.
If you read my post carefully, that is exactly what I said. He’s not responsible for his early upbringing. That upbringing will have lasting consequences. However, as a grownup, no matter what the upbringing, he’s still responsible for everything he does, and his upbringing would make him not one of us.
How old was your kiddo? Obama’s dog tasting days were in the ballpark of six to ten years old from what I have read online. When I was about that age, I refused to eat venison and rabbit.
However, I don’t blame Obama for eating dog as a kid. What does surprise me, however, is the way he seems to embrace the experience and uses it to burnish that exotic chic image his followers find so attractive. I wish the media would have at least asked him about that episode when the first family acquired Bo, even if it was only to ask “Given your unusual dietary habits as a child, do you think that maybe cat ownership might be a better fit for you and your family.”
Bush made me do it.
I hear ya.
:)
Yeah, but squirrel is a traditional staple of our patriotic ancestors. In the USA, eating dog has always been about on par with cannibalism. If you’ve eaten dog, and brush it off as normal or merely odd, you’re not one of US.
LOL!!!
LOL!!
I think we’re in agreement.
Hey gang, we’re famous!
Our forebears were certainly as legitimately American as any of the riffraff belched out by Europe.
I spent some time with a friend’s chihuahua last week, and I have to say, it did have some tasty looking little drumstick legs.
LOL!
Run, Snoopy, ruuunnnn!!
****I’m sorry. Eating dogmeat is foreign to modern Western culture. I’m standing by what I said.****
On their trip of discovery, Lewis and Clark fed their men on dog meat. They even found it better than horse meat.
This refusal to eat dogs is indeed a modern phenomenon. In an earlier time Americans thought of them as little walking “refrigerators” who could always be depended on for a good meal.
LOL!
A cottage industry of these pics has sprung up. Before long we’ll see t-shirts, dog bowls, mugs, and all kinds of stuff.
Isn’t capitalism great ?
That was then and this is now.
We simply don’t do that anymore in western civilization.
