The left yawns at dead babies.It is no wonder that Obama can also yawn and go back to bed as Americans beg for any kind support while they are under attack in Benghazi;whilst the ambassador is being raped by Obama’s moozlim people.

"Our bodies, our votes" and "Support a woman's right to choose." I saw those stickers on a vehicle the other day. Someone openly in favor of killing babies. The new America.

Dang! Beat me to it. Didn’t see the boulder co one for the deceased deer or moose or whatever they had a “celebration of life” event/gathering for.

No memorial for the Head and Body lice? They are life forms too.

When will they honor all the bugs killed on auto windshields?

Don’t for get all the ants killed by those killer anteaters, looking for some jail time for that crime.

Apparently, there is a website which names hotels that have had bed bugs reported by guests. Isn’t that being intolerant towards bed bugs?

Sorry. I said I DIDN’T see the one for the deer/moose/whatever. It was some familiar critter in/near boulder co that was killed and the town folk held some sort of candlelight vigil for it to celebrate it’s life. Not quite as amusing as the tree thing. If I find it I’ll post it.

I've come to the conclusion that humans thrive best under adversity and tough conditions, however when they live in times of comfort and relative ease like we have today, the lack of stimulation causes their brains slow down and we get things like memorials to honor fallen bumble bees

Just another group of empty-headed libtards without any purpose in their shallow lives.

I agree with that. Look at much of the under 30 crowd and the addiction to zombie texting in public and the inability to communicate verbally. Would this crew aided in the efforts to win WW2? Doubtful.
