Title: Cecil the lion
Post by: tombogan03884 on August 01, 2015, 02:07:27 PM
WOW !I searched and the whole thread seems to have been deleted just because TAB used the forbidden word . Yes many people have gotten into a world of crap for using it ,but society's hypocracy is blindingly obvious in the fact that the same hammer doesn't fall on those who use equally offensive terms such as" Teabagger" "gun nut", or "cracker". If the publics concern about giving offense were anything other than an attempt to suppress those who oppose the leftist agenda it would be even handed, but it's not.
MB has my sympathy having to work with such brainwashed bigoted A holes.
That being said I saw a post by Ted Nugent on FB in which one of the locals raises the question "Why doesn't America get this upset when a lion kills a native" ? I wood have posted the link, but cut and paste is one of the things I have not mastered yet on this tablet with it's damnedable little buttons.
It got me to thinking, liberals love lions, Planned Parenthood, and casting people into poverty.
What do all 3 have in common ?
All I've come up with is, gangbanger violence from poverty, lions hunting, and Sanger's stated purpose, they all involve killing blacks.

There was a thread about the lion getting shot and TAB posted a perfectly valid point , but he used the evil "N" word.
Well, actually he used the name of a central African country, but you know TAB, context means more than spelling. Any way, some sniveling liberal whined to MB in the usual tolerant and inclusive liberal manner, so MB posted suggesting that TAB delete the post. Next time I came back the whole thread was gone.
I suspect that being out of town TAB never saw the suggestion so Marshal just ditched the whole thread.
You can read the liberal's sniveling on MB's  blog.
MB raises perfectly valid points about having masters to answer to, that isn't where my gripe is. My beef is with a society in general that allows such blatant bigotry as that practiced against anyone who opposes the leftist agenda. A white guy, ( Zimmerman or the cop in Ferguson) shoots a black thug who is beating his head in and it's racist, but "the knock out game" no one says anything. So many examples, Obama sends emissaries to mourn dead ghetto monkey's, but ignores recruiters murdered by his fellow Muslims, r the woman murdered by one of his pet Illegals. I've become completely disgusted with a population so lazy, gutless, and ignorant that they tolerate these things. The fact that there is even a debate about illegal immigration, et alone such things as "sanctuary cities"are proof that this country doesn't deserve to survive because the population are to damned stupid for self government. I love my country, but I'm just plain ashamed of it's population.
Please God bring on the mass extinction.

Clash Daily this am has a statement. by the professional hunter involved. He says they did everything according to the law and he was surprised to find a radio collar on the old male lion beyond breeding age.
Also, he says he doubts there will be real legal problems because the hype is just a liberal attack on hunting with no legitimate basis in fact.
In other news, Obama is supposed to eulogize the dead lion as he refuses to do for the Chattanooga recruiters.
There is a report of a bill being introduced to prevent the importation of trophies as a back door to banning safaris. What stupid bastards, "Let's help the starving blacks by cutting off an important source of income and food. And we get to help the wildlife by removing any incentive for the natives to resist poaching.
In yet another Clash Daily report Cecil's litter mate has been killed by poachers who wasted the meat and contributed nothing to either the local or national economy.

I thought I missed something. And you don't even remember what you missed. We should be poster guys for Dementia.  ;D

This whole thing is turning into a bigger circus every day. Some of the stupidity I'm reading about this is off the chart. This nation is comprised of a bunch of idiots that have the priorities of a 4 year old in a toy store!

This is the level of insanity that's been reached.

The media are reporting that another US Dr.  shot a lion, remember, these are perfectly legal, permitted, licensed hunts that provide a large portion of Zimbabwe's income, and ALL the support for the game preserves, also, the only reason for the survival of these animals.
In order to dress up their story AP included 5 pictures of other animals the Dr had killed, just one problem.
They misidentified every single one of them. They claimed one was a water buffalo, which does not even live in Africa, it's only found in Asia.

As the truth slowly surfaces in this whole thing, the far left liberal crackpots will look like the over reactive idiots they always do. Same tune, different dance.

I received an email from an outfitter in Canada last evening.  These are people I have hunted with twice, and I both believe them and trust them.  They have some friends hunting in Zimbabwe right now, or last week.  They shared a different view of this entire situation.  To explain why I trust these people beyond leading me on hunts - They are currently double checking the facts shared with them by those who shared them.

The information shared is that the only item in question may be the forged or invalid quota paperwork.  Hunting, shooting, taking, etc., a collared or tagged lion is legal; the hunting sight was baited, which is normal practice, but the lion was not lured off the preserve by dragging a carcass through the preserve; the lion was not caged or netted to keep it off the preserve until the dentist was ready; and what we are hearing about Zimbabwe officials demanding return of Dr. Palmer and him evading detention is not true.

Much of what they shared matches with many items shared early in the news concerning this, but many of these facts changed or disappeared in the following days.  I am waiting as my friends check this out, but I suspect that when all is said and done this entire episode will turn out to be 95% political correct crowd BS, and I will be asking "What did we miss during the smoke and mirrors redirection of our attention?".

"What did we miss during the smoke and mirrors redirection of our attention?".

Here's just a few:

-Planned parenthood barbarism
-Obama's announcement for his plan to combat "global warming"
-Plans to give out more green cards than more than the population of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina combined!

I am sure there's more, lots more.

At least 2 airlines, I think Delta was one, are now refusing to ship hunting trophies.
Also, the Muslim pos's administration is quietly trying to ban the import of hunting trophies.

PETA nut cases have no problem killing people, only animals. Too bad they don't die.

this stuff is a load of crap.  big game hunting in Africa is big biz  and its how almost all of the game preserves are funded.  its heavily regulated and  the animals selected to be taken very carefully by highly skilled professionals.

But it's the Touchy Feely Liberal Way!!

If Cecil was poached, don't just go after the poachers, go after every legitimate and beneficial hunter and destroy the only hope diminishing species have of surviving. 

Who cares what happens to the Lions as long as we keep people from hunting...

Soles nailed it.
It has nothing to do with saving the animals, that was done by the sportsmen. It's all about stopping people from hunting.
