Look! The Japanese are killing whales for food. Oh no! We need to get organize, work 15 hour days and do some massive fundraising to save the earth. Mr. Soros, please send us money!
Guess we really don’t have time or funding to re-elect Obama or focus on destroying capitalism in the US. Just too busy saving those cute whales. Darn.
I instinctively side with anyone who opposes the Left. But in this case, it’s by default; the Japanese whaling fleet is not staffed by Ssrah Palin supply-side conservatives but by whalers pursuing a way of life that dates back centuries and was once a huge part of American seafaring.
Face it, we humans tend not to prey upon our fellow carnivores higher up in the food chain. Plant life is what our dinner eats, and the diet of baleen whales is at least analagous; planton & krill. Cows are not an endangered species and neither is the species of whale that the Japanese hunt and eat. I have read that a taste for whale meat is not universal unlike that for steak or BBQ, but every nation to its own taste.
By way of saying that taking sides is easy as aforementioned; Captain Cocoapuffs and his smelly band of sea hippies are obnoxious lefties and I wish defeat upon them as much as I do liberals and Wall Street protesters.
Not harm, just defeat. And just where do these haters of capitalism and the meat-based diet get their filthy capitalist dollars, anyway? Nothing they do would inconvenience George Soros, just saying.
