As a non meateater, I still submit that the anti-hunting crowd would not think I am twisted. I don't hunt and don't favor it. They would appreciate that much of my position.
I just looked at your homepage. We have the same heroes. When I was 16, I campaigned for Goldwater and had an AU H20 sticker on my Vee Dub. As for Reagan, you might enjoy my speech at the Reagan Library.
We can be friends. :) (But people who sit in their PJs and click a mouse to kill an animal are not hunters. To be a hunter, you have to at least go brave the elements and risk getting shot by the Vice President.)
"We can be friends...But people who sit in their PJs and click a mouse to kill an animal are not hunters."
I wholeheartedly concur, and hope I never implied otherwise. I dislike the notion of some pimply, pajamaed, pasty-faced puss pulling the 'trigger' to get his jollies on the death of an animal. I think some dislike hunting tv shows for the reason that so often this joviality seems to be part of it. I know that's one reason I can't watch them.
Most of the people who eat meat would be repelled at the notion that someone killed an animal for their dinner, or how it was done, if they took the time to think about it. I accept that meat eating requires an animal's death, no matter how 'humane' it may be in practice, and dislike the idea that people who relish a barbecue recoil in horror at the notion of a slaughterhouse, since the latter is required for the former. I guess my view of it is that if you can't stand what's required to get your venison or veal to the table, you shouldn't be ordering them. Credit is due to the people who can make that principled stand to either give up meat, or recognize the process required to get it as acceptably in keeping with their own ethics, instead of ordering that double cheeseburger and willfully assuming someone picked burgers off the meat tree.

ROFLMAO!
