Outlawing the Pig
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | May 2, 2008 | Janet Levy

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? Could the well-known, cartoon figure Porky Pig become a cultural embarrassment of our unenlightened past as we fear to utter the “P” word?...

In 2004, a Muslim-owned investment company, Arcapita (formerly Capital Crescent Investments) acquired the 1,200-unit Church’s Chicken chain. In 2005, Arcapita, with a net income of $70.5 million and assets worth $1.2 billion (2004), enjoined a franchisee from selling pork products. In correspondence with the franchisee, the corporate owners cited violation of shariah law as the reason for prohibiting the sale of bacon, ham and sausages. The restaurant owners were thereby forced to surrender to corporate demands and operate under shariah law. ...

I hadn’t read the whole article, only the excerpt. I’m merely agreeing with the author and not only that, saying we should standup to these knuckelheads with eating and serving pork as much as possible.

If they like potatoe chips so damned much, let them shutup.

I’m tired of cattering to people because they are “offended.” If you’re offended, tune out, or move along, don’t pay patronage to someone, something you don’t believe in.

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 want to a dinner party a while back hosted by a Moroccan, he did the cooking. There were several Muslims there, and he had prunes wrapped in bacon as a starter.

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.

BY THE WAY, GANG.....

the CORRECT address for the afore-mentioned product I told you about upthread is:

www.silverbulletgunoil.net

I entered ‘.com’. I am a fool. I shall now slap myself.

Oh yeah... Rose used to love going to Church's Chicken, but since she learned about them being bought out, she hasn't been back.

I don't think I could ever give up bacon!
