The practice of political correctness may soon be tallying another casualty: the pig. Increasingly, as America and the rest of the Western world continue accommodating Muslim religious demands, pork food products are being singled out for removal from dining tables and pig-related trinkets banished from the desks of office workers.
If this continues, good ol’ American food, such as barbeque replete with hot dogs and ribs and the typical American breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage, might be seen as the equivalent of political poison. Could outright censorship of pig depictions in drawings, pig references in literary works and pig portrayals in movies be far behind?

Back in October, I had an outdoor kitchen built complete with a custom-built wood smoker.
Now there ain’t nothin’ better than hickory smoked pork: ribs, butt, shoulder, loin, chops, ham, hot links, italian sausage, bratwurst, etc. So they’re going to have a fight on their hands if they try to make me stop.
It’s a pork fat thing.
From my cold dead hand!

I hold only one guilt from eating pork.
I am convinced that we are killing an animal of greater value, holding a more rational personality, being far more intelligent than a democrat.
The pig smells better too.
No...I don’t need more guests...I have enough already. :D
BY THE WAY, GANG.....
the CORRECT address for the afore-mentioned product I told you about upthread is:

I entered ‘.com’. I am a fool. I shall now slap myself.
good job...pig fat forever....
Ours as well..In keeping up the spirit of
“Come and Take It”
we had BBQ at our favorite place in Martin City on our way back from Louisburg.
I don't think I could ever give up bacon!
