Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Unlike the liberal blowhards who talk about helping the poor, many hunters practically do it by feeding them. The hunter, who generally speaking is a conservative, is suppose to be, according to the Mange Stream Media, a calloused living heart donor. However, the reality is that we provide a massive, benevolent source of high-protein, low-fat food to the poor at our own expense. Put that in your hookah and smoke it, morons.

Here’s the truth, weepy “save the poor” hypocrites: The “evil” group known to you as hunters gives away hundreds of thousands of pounds of the best meat on the planet at their expense to the poorest among us. In the last couple of years alone my buddies and I have paid for the hunting, butchering and processing of conservatively 10,000 pounds of sweet venison for the poor in Africa and at risk kids, Christian ministries, and abused and battered women here in the U.S of A. That’s 10,000 plus pounds of meat just between a few guys in the last few years. How do you, the “loving liberal,” stack up against that? Not very well, I’ll bet.

2. Hunters put their money where their mouth is.

The yarbling libs and PETA are a full of sheeta crowd that would love to make us all believe that they are true stewards of nature and that hunters are Agent Orange to animals and land. However, if the truth can still be told, it’s the hunter who doles out nearly three hundred million bucks a year in special surtaxes on guns, ammo, camo underwear and other outdoor supplies which goes to state conservation programs. The tree humpers don’t pay these taxes, girlfriend, the hunters do. The hunters. The hunters. The hunters.

That’s probably enough 411 for the brainwashed crowd for now on how the hunter is the true conservationist who puts his money where his mouth is. Maybe later I’ll write about how the hunters’ hard earned capital is what saves the swamps, underwrites wildlife research, and has kept many species around the planet from going extinct—not PETA.

1. Hunters are the salt of the earth.

Every group has their jerks, and it’s true that everybody sucks, but as far as I’m concerned, hunters suck less. Matter of fact, I’d say that 95% of the people I have met in the hallowed hunting camp have been upright, pleasant, courteous, grateful, hard working, God- and country-loving, family oriented folks with whom it was my deepest pleasure to be able to share a few days pursuing game.

Larry,

I shoot a longbow and a flintlock. I have NO problem with guys who use compounds and inline "muzzleloaders". I DO have a problem with the way the game people HANDED the archery and black powder seasons over to the techno-pimps after WE fought long and hard for our extra days afield on the BASIS of PRIMITIVE weapons and limited effectiveness.

I still want states to set aside areas for truly basic archery and black powder. That would be recuves/longbows in the bow seasons and sidehammer flint or percussion guns of types representative of the era pre-1865.

Either carve out a two weeks in those seasons for the primitive guys with traditional gear or set aside a few areas of land for us old farts.

I agree
I used to think that Bow hunters were better than gun hunters. I also thought that cross guns(crossbows) were a poor excuse for archery but one of my friends pointed out that too many hunters think that way and that plays into the PETA mentality that if we are against each other then it's easier for them to divide us. We have to drop the "My way is better than yours" type of thinking and embrace all forms of hunting as our own. We all are out there whether it's in the woods, the field, the mountains, or wherever, doing our thing and loving it and we should all respect the other hunter. after all, that hunter is out there and being seen by others as a hunter. Can't we all just get along?
