Cal Thomas on Fox just nailed a PETA Doctor!
FOX News | 12/26/02 | me

Posted on 12/26/2002 5:56:36 PM PST by therut

Did anyone else see Cal Thomas(filling in for O'Reiley) slam the physician about the school luch programs. This was the same physician that was on the Washington Journal this a.m. talking about suing the fast food industries and wanting to take meat,milk and cheese out of the school lunch programs. He sounded real good this morning. Well Cal brought out that his spouse who he filed his tax returns with was the president of PETA. He denied he had a spouse but not that he filed tax return with "someone" as a spouse or that they are the president of PETA. He got kinda shook up. Cal also brought out that his group had received over a million dollars from PETA in donations. Wonder who his so called un-married spouse is??? The animal rights groups are atacking at the school level now. Kinda like the anti-gun and anti- everything left is getting more control of our society very slyly.

According to ActivistCash.com, PCRM's Mr. Barnard and PETA's Ms. Newkirk have something in common: They are the co-directors of a third group, the multimillion-dollar Foundation to Support Animal Protection. In 1999, Ms. Newkirk's PETA gave this third group nearly $1 million; FSAP in turn gave Mr. Barnard's PCRM as much as $432,000. Take a look at PCRM's "health" prescriptions again and it's clear they are doctored up PETA rhetoric: Every one suggests that eating animal or dairy products is bad for you.

• According to the site, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation of ice cream fame, has given $10,000 to Mothers for Natural Law--a group radically opposed to anything but organic food, and linked to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement). B&J also gave $100,000 to the Ruckus Society, a group that trains anticorporate radicals to rappel down buildings and hang themselves from billboards, who were among the primary movers and shakers at the Seattle World Trade Organization riots.

• The Action on Smoking and Health (ASH, for short) is one of the nation's largest anti-smoking organizations. On the first page of its Web site, it says: "ASH is entirely supported by tax-deductible contributions from people like you . . ." But according to ActivistCash.com, the F.M. Kirby Foundation has contributed $440,000 to ASH in recent years.



Luckily, people other than industry groups are also beginning to catch on to these "grassroots" organizations. Earlier this year, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Knudsen, a reporter for the Sacramento Bee, wrote a series of articles about the new big business face of the environmental movement.

Mr. Knudsen describes the reaction of a visitor the first time he stepped into the headquarters of the Wilderness Society: "It was like a giant corporation. Floor after floor after floor, just like Exxon or AT&T." He details the million-dollar fundraisers, the six-figure salaries, and the accounting shenanigans. But he also describes where all the money goes: most of it to lobbying, lawsuits and . . . more fund-raising.

And so the next time Americans get a flyer or a phone-call asking for a donation, they'd do well to spend a few minutes on ActivistCash.com.

My point is "If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?" is humorous, but not much of an argument against vegetarianism. Nobody eats humans, few eat monkeys, few eat horses, few ( in the West) eat dogs, yet those are all made of meat.

Everyone draws the line on how highly evolved a creature he will eat. Some draw it at pigs, some at carrots. Just defending the vegetarians who are not leftist idiots.

PETA wants to starve our kids. Kids cant privilege the world according to PETA, only animals can.

Morality in eating has nothing to do with the evolved state of an animal. That is just the wrong spectrum of argument to chose. Morality in eating has to do with fighting with the right to privilege as opposed to be privileged. A vegetarian that pigs out on carrots is an immoral pig, end of story.

Neal Barnard, M. D., a psychiatrist, started a group, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), which advocates medicine based on nutritious vegetarian diets and other positive life style changes, rather than reliance on animal experimentation and the use of drugs and surgery.

Talk about throwing the baby of the food industry with the bathwater. This guy is a bigot and a cultural cleanser, another term for yet another brand of fascism.

So it's OK to eat apes or even humans?

Hey, that's good!

How about rockstar Ted Nugent, who likes to hunt and who wrote a book with his wife (also a hunter) called Kill It and Grill It?

I understand they said in the book something like "Oh, we like vegetarians. They're the only kind of people we eat."

My mom is eighty-nine and in pretty good health. She was raised Seventh-Day Adventist and has been vegetarian most of her life. I know quite a few old veggie types.

I like Ted Nugent. He is respectful of and thankful for the animals he kills and eats.

Yes, it is a bit odd :) Another thing I like about Ted Nugent is that he is not hypocritical and is glad to kill and clean his game. I think some folks would not eat it if it didn't come already shrink wrapped.
