Who They are
by JIM BEERS
There is however, one word that tells us far more.
Notice, in the 5th paragraph, the words “it’s like the “internet hunting” of the right: an inflammatory concept that isn’t really happening.” Add in the next sentence’s obscenity and the obvious hatred for hunters and what have you got?
The people writing this stuff aren’t anti-hunting; they aren’t anti-animals as property; they aren’t anti-gun; they aren’t anti-rural; they are anti-all-of-the-foregoing as simple means to achieve their end of the triumph of THE LEFT! Why else describe “internet hunting” as “OF THE RIGHT”?
The boys and girls we are up against can and do shift to union demands, gun control, obeisance to UN demands, wacky environmentalism, animal worship, abortion, female discontent, destruction of Local and State Authority, and an all-powerful central government in so far as they build THE LEFT and destroy THE RIGHT.
Today THE LEFT includes not only the list of Democrat Party supporters; it includes the contributors and supporters of the RINO’s and Country Club Republicans.
Whenever I mention political affiliations, I am deluged with criticism. I submit that my grandfather’s advice 65 years ago rules this situation.
“Jimmy”, he said, “if you are in a fight and anybody reaches down into his sock he is probably pulling a razor out. If that happens, either run like Hx*LL or find a ball bat or something like it that will keep them away from cutting you up.” Fighting these “Lefties” requires a clear and cool head and comparable weapons appropriate to the discussion.

Alaska bans tasers on bears, moose, fearing “catch and release” hunting
Taser gun for bear and moose
Alaska is banning use of tasers on wildlife like moose and bears. Because they would rather people just shoot them with a real gun.
Alaska Department of Fish & Game biologist Larry Lewis proposed that the Game board ban tasers on wildlife because he worried about “catch and release hunting.”
“Conceivably someone could Tase a moose or bear, go up and get a picture taken with it, shut the (Taser) off and then release the animal,” he told the Fairbanks Daily News Miner.
Lewis is the state’s “taser expert”; he’s pioneered its use and he trains wildlife control officers in how to tase moose or bear. It’s potentially a great way to avoid killing or even drugging an animal. Plus, if you tase a grizzly, they won’t want to come back to where they’ve been bothering people.
Cops will still be able to tase a moose. Regular civilians will still be able to zap a bear that’s charging them or destroying their car. You just can’t recreationally tase an animal.
“Catch and release” hunting is a real concept. But it’s like the “internet hunting” of the right: an inflammatory concept that isn’t really happening. Just the idea pisses off many hunters. In 2007 a group called the World Hunting Association dreamed up a plan for big buck hunting with drug darts. “Hunters have been so disgusted by the very idea to turn the honored hunting heritage into a sport, that thousand have written letters and emails in protest,” one hunter blogger reported. The NRA said it would debase the sport.
The question is: has anyone ever done it? Lewis told the paper he wanted the rule to “kind of head off at the pass any non-trained use of this equipment.” So, I’m guessing no.
