'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...

Done right it is quick and humane. You owe your best effort to the animal.

That said, it isn’t always clean or pretty. But, it is real and part of this dispensation on the earth. We were given dominion over the creatures of the earth but with that comes stewardship and responsibility.

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)

Not to mention that every single piece of hunting and fishing gear you buy (rods, tackle, guns, ammo) has an extra tax added to it that goes to pay for the Wildlife Rufuges that Liberals from the big city so like to visit with their cameras.

I've told more than few Vegetarians this one simple fact, when you are hungry enough, you will eat anything.

I'm not a hunter, but if things go bad, you gotta do what you gotta do.

All the Libtards loved the movie Avatar. The Aliens were Bow Hunters. After they shot the animal, they stood over it, said some Libtard mumbo jumbo and put a knife through its heart to put it out of its misery.

The scene, even though computer generated, was much more graphic than Sarah shooting the Caribou. I guess you could say Avatar was a real snuff film.

The Libtards hate guns, but would be going nuts if Nugent the Bow Hunter was there with Sarah.

One other thing, if you watch Anthony Bourdain’s show, they have slaughtered numerous animals for a meal. In fact I remember some famous Chef going on the Letterman show tearing the legs off some live crabs before putting them in the frying pan.

Remember when they were so upset at Glenn Beck throwing the rubber Frog in boiling water? Oh the humanity.

Liberals are pathetic hypocrites.

I think those people must come from Hell, because I can’t imagine them as sweet babies or innocent children, when they grown into such hateful, abortion-loving adults.

I don’t think they’re all Vegans, so they’re hypocrites, as well. I think they just go through life ‘hating’ and finding faulth with others they actualy realize are morally and (literally) happier and superior to them.

I think you’re right about that. It’s the snooty libtaard snobs make a big deal out of being Vegetarians. Fine and dandy. Eat lettuce!

Anthony Bourdain gets tons of hate-mail from animal rights loonies. That man loves his pork (maybe he ticks off alot of Muslims, also).
