'Sarah Palin’s Alaska’: Lessons in Manliness and Intolerance (Done Right)
Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | December 13, 2010 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 12/13/2010 7:12:14 PM PST by onyx

Over the course of the past few decades, entertainment produced in Hollywood, news commentary written by feminized journalists, and propaganda spread by political action groups focused on protecting the environment have dealt a near death blow to masculinity via their all out demonization of guns, hunting, and manliness in general. And over the course of the past few weeks, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has single-handedly used her television show (Sarah Palin’s Alaska) to reverse this trend and restore manliness to its rightful place once again.

She did this first by clubbing a halibut to death after catching it in Alaskan waters, and secondly by shooting and field-dressing a caribou on a more recent episode.

Along the way, Hollywood elites, news outlets, and groups like PETA have literally come unhinged. Aaron Sorkin, who went took pains to stress that he’s involved in “film and television,” went on a profanity laced tirade against Palin for her caribou hunt. Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald bemoaned: “Most disturbing is the way [Palin] seems to enjoy causing suffering to other beings.” And the animal rights’ group Defense Of Animals, issued a statement that said: “Palin’s complete lack of compassion as demonstrated in this snuff video is disgusting.”

These handwringers certainly are an intolerant lot, aren’t they?

Fortunately, Sarah Palin’s Alaska provides lessons in handling intolerance that are just as valuable as those it provides on manliness. It does this by reminding us that it’s time for us to be intolerant for a change: that extremists who describe hunters with words like “shithead,” as Sorkin does, or insinuate that humans and animals are the same type of  “beings,” or equate joy over a successful hunt with a “lack of compassion,” do not hold opinions...

Oh dear. The men, males in our party must "Buck-up or stay in the truck" like Sarah Palin once remarked.

Seems Joy Behar can’t stop hatin’ on Sarah as a major pass time.

She just said it the other day literally :I hate the Palins:

I have a huge gut feeling that Joy maybe kicked off the View soon.

Old Babawa is even getting a little fed up with Behar.

People that support ripping babies to shreds in the womb for their personal gain and convenience should never utter the word ‘compassion.’

EXACTLY RIGHT!

This is on topic in an off topic kinda way.

Seems a Texan fails to make a complete stop
at a stop sign, and gets pulled over by a
local policeman. Guy hands the cop his
driver’s license, insurance verification
and vehicle registration, plus his concealed
handgun permit.

“Okay, Mr. Thibodeaux,” the cop says, “I see
you have Concealed Handgun Permit. Are you
carrying today?” “Yes, I am.” “Well then,
better tell me what you got.”

Thibodeaux says, “Well, I got a .40 caliber
Glock on my right hip and a .357 magnum revolver
in the glove box. And, I’ve got a .22 derringer
in my right boot.”

“Okay,” the cop says. “Anything else?” “Yeah,
back in the trunk, there’s an AR15 rifle and a
12 gauge pump shotgun. That’s about it.”

“Mr. Thibodaux, are you on your way to or from
a gun range...?” “Nope.” “Well then, what are
you afraid of...?”

“Not a damn thing...”

“From what I have seen the Bieber kid is a hissy fit”

Saw a hilarious clip on Talk Soup of some lesbian group having a ‘Justin Bieber look-alike’ contest.

The resemblance of many of the contestants to JB was stunning.

ROFL. He wouldn’t know the first thing about survival. He was never anything American, like a Boy Scout, for example.

Thank you both. The garbage that liberals spew about 'compassion' is enough to make me hurl. This may not be your cup of tea but it's how I look at their views on compassion.

Idiot Compassion

All this red flyover country identifies with the Palins; most us of know someone who went up to Alaska to work the pipeline or the other opportunities, and kick ourselves for not also doing it.

All across the US we just finished or are finishing our deer seasons. Not everybody hunts, but we all understand the tradition and ethos. Its part of providing for our family- even if largely symbolic.(does keep the woods and firearm skills up somewhat)

City dwellers( in spirit) can’t and won’t understand.

From the Comments: The same people that are moaning about hunting animals, think it is just fine and dandy to kill a human baby in the womb.

Where do these folks think a hamburger or a steak comes from? When they sit down to a nice seafood dinner weren’t those creatures alive before they were frozen?

Or are all liberals true Vegans?

To be honest I squirmed when she shot the caribou...but the reality is that I wear leather, eat meat so I just need to keep my mouth shut. I think what Sarah shot is probably the most healthy meat you can get. No wonder she looks great.

To a liberal, a burger (hunting) is like an entitlement (taxes).
Who cares how it’s processed as long it’s there on demand?
