Why is Hunting Part of Republican Culture?
(this is followed by pictures of Paul Ryan with a dead deer,
Sarah Palin with a dead cariboo,
And Dick Cheney with a dead pheasant.
--nothing else in the OP)
good photos though

8. Again, it's the whole "I built this all by myself"
BULLcrap meme.
these sad folks are apparently still living in the early 1800's, when every frontiersman had to have
a gun(s) to survive-- i.e. shoot and eat wild game, and of course to shoot any Indians that
happened to get in the way or try to stop them (the Indians sort of needed the game, too, to
survive).
the meme is irrelevant now, since we have over 300 million people in our nation.. and if we all
had to become big macho hunters again and shoot squirrels or rabbits to survive, we'd be dead in
a week or so.
the image/iconic symbology is portrayed by the GOP'ers in order to send a "message".. i.e. "hey,
I've got guns.. I can take care of myself and my family" (by paying to hunt on private land). and
sorry to play the race card-- the imagery/gun fetish also says: "I'm armed and know how to
shoot, so dark skinned people-- don't try to steal my/our stuff.. I'll shoot you dead".
Keep in mind our nation is chock full o' bigots, so there's no doubt this message is being
sent with the guns/ammo fetish.
Is Iggy the origin of the Iggy list?

62. I love stereotypes that are so ahistorical it is not even funny
For starters not EVERY frontiersman had a gun, of any kind, notwithstanding Hollywood representation of the period.
I will stop there...
Yes, every frontiersman DID have a gun. It was a prerequisite for going west.
curse those vegan pioneers! they ruined it for the rest of us!

60. As long as Democrats continue to not hate minorities they will lose the redneck vote..
I'm pretty close to a redneck myself and know a whole lot of actual rednecks, I listen to what they say when they think they are among like minded people.
It's all about hating the NiCLANG for most of them.

61. Pandering to hunters is
it is part of rural America, and yes even DEMOCRATS hunt in rural areas.
I prefer to bag my game with 300 mm lenses, but round where I live, it helps people put meat on the table... it is party independent.
(In case this makes zero sense, I prefer to be behind a camera, not a trigger that shoots ammo down range)
Ah so the people of San Diego must hunt to survive...That explains so very much.
To be fair, there are those that claim Democrats hunt as well, but the insane rule the day in this thread.

Round where nutcase nadin lives...
Of course, we've known for a long time that she lives, with her moonbat retired Navy husband, in a crappy little condo apartment, hard up against a roaring freeway in the center of San Diego.
Round where she lives, no one hunts to put meat in their taco shells.

Why do they hate on everyone that has a different set of beliefs then they do?

I have NO INTENTION of ever hunting a 4 legged animal with it.

That must be "the good rig". I figured Mr. Abbott would keep that under lock and key since nadin uses her iPhone for all the important stuff.

DUmmys are very retarded, in all aspects of life.

Lol, first day of deer season is pretty much a holiday around here, I know many businesses that are closed that day simply because the majority of their employees wouldn't show up that day anyway. And yet according to the DEC, the deer population is still too high in our area. Deer and turkey are a nuisance around here.
Mrs. Palin is looking fine.

I worked for Ford Motor Company... the first day of deer season in Michigan is a company holiday. Doesn't matter if you're in Michigan, Tennessee, or California. You get the day off.

Because if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.
I hunt because I love dove and venison meat. It's the challenge of hunting. Self-discipline of being quiet and keeping adrenaline in check. Remembering to breathe, squeezing the trigger.
It's very cathartic in some ways. (I hope DUmmies read tis next part):
My boys are shooting dove seriously for the first time this year. It's a rite of passage. One of many. Teaches them how fragile life is, and how final shooting something is.
It's respect for nature, respect for the tools we use, and respect for ourselves.

I do not hunt because I'm too lazy to get up early. However, two years ago I gave my grandson a 35 caliber lever action rifle, and that season he got his first deer with it. He goes hunting with his dad, and now there is always some deer sausage in my freezer. All the benefits of hunting without the effort!
That same grandson has already laid claim to three of the pistols in my collection when I pass on. Told him he's got a long wait, 'cause I'm only 69.

I don't believe in using guns. With my prey I just hold up anything Republican related and they fall over in agony.

Nads really needs to STFU...but hey, Sandy Eggo is so overrun with wild critters.

I wish the oblate spheroid would go down to Ensenada.
And that story better NOT involve going down to Ensenada, there are way too many personal safety concerns on that one.

That's quite good really.

I don't know why they're so scared.
Judging from all the false flag and agent provacateur attacks the only people we shoot are our won.

What self respecting frontiersman wouldn't have a gun ? A lib frontiersman ?

An example of democrats being uncomfortable with the American tradition of hunting was Lurch Kerry, at a sporting goods store in Ohio a few days before the 2004 election, "Can I buy me a huntin' license?"
As phony as Plugs Biden's smile.

Why do they hate on everyone that has a different set of beliefs then they do?
Because they think they are the onlys ones with the correct set of beliefs and that everyone else in the country that thinks differently is just plain wrong.

A dead one.

I guess that in a way nadin did take that into account.

they are defenseless because they don't have a gun you dumbass :lmao:

I live in a rural area; and growing up it was not uncommon for teenagers to come to school in camo (as well as a gun rack in their pickups) so they could hit the woods after school...

Pa had a gun. He had to put down a dog one time. Or was that on The Waltons when Grandma took her on life out of boredom?

Yes, Pa had a gun, he even made his own bullets, and Laura and Mary helped. I read all of those books. :-)
