Saracuda Wants to Murder Cuddly Bears
From an insufferably moonbatty LA Times piece that righteously denounces Sarah Palin for allegedly putting the interests of humans ahead of the polar bears that hunt down and eat them:
Gov. Sarah Palin's administration has fought federal protections announced in May for polar bears, going to court to assert that the projections for a dramatic shrinking of the bears' icy habitat are unreliable and that polar bears are already protected enough.
Since becoming the Republican vice presidential nominee this month, Palin has championed a balance between energy exploration and environmental regulation. A review of her record as governor shows that, most often, she has tilted that balance in favor of oil and gas development, mining and hunting…
Check out the picture they ran with the story:
This one might have been even better:
Or, just for variety, La Times could have tried a little realism:
On a tip from mega.

Oh man, Steven Colbert is going to be all over this. In his "threat-down" list, the number one threat to US nat'l security is routinely bears.
lol

With all of the problems facing our country today, this is what makes the news????? What a g*d damn disgrace.

The whole thing was based on PlayStation Climatology (a label I unashamedly borrow from JunkScience.com). The current bear herds are bigger than ever and are in no present or clearly defined future danger. In addition the danger was from Global Warming... oh wait, the Earth is actually cooling... never mind! But they won't 'never mind' because their agenda is complete control of your life, not anything to do with some stupid bears. Duh! Neo-Luddites and Malthusians - a pox on both their houses.

Has anyone else noticed the shift going on in the enviro-weenie circles? It used to be, "zzzomg the polar bear population is being decimated by teh evil global warming!"
Then, when it was pointed out the polar bear populations are, in fact, growing dramatically, they shifted to, "zzzomg the polar bears are drowning cuz they can't swim far enough to get to teh ice!"
Never mind hard scientific fact. It's been replaced by anecdotal sightings of a supposedly drowned polar bear, of polar bears swimming to shore and looking "tired," of polar bears way out in the ocean swimming.
If they can't find actual evidence to support their cause, they make up evidence and tell us that it supports their conclusions.
I, for one, will accept that growing polar bear populations suggest the populations of polar bears are growing. Nothing more, nothing less.

chuck, I think I remember that.
Some liberal mayor made a lot of children cry in Christmastime last year by saying that their playing video games will cause global warming that will melt the North Pole and thus destroy Santa's workshop.
cowlove, I believe they've also used penguins to advance global warming.
From what I've heard, the movie 'Happy Feet' is one of the most deceptively- advertised children's movies EVER, as much of the plot doesn't involve cute penguins dancing, but rather involves the cute penguins trying to avoid being killed by global warming.

Great! I hate polar bears. They hunt us, so it's about time we got some payback. /g
(Btw, I love using this line on earnest lefties bleating about the polar bears. It's fun to watch their heads explode!)

If we hunted every single one of those white-furred engines of death into extinction, I wouldn't shed a tear. They are 800lbs of claws, teeth and really, really bad attitude. THEY are the ONLY animals that ROUTINELY kill and eat human beings.

Sorry Brooklyn, TIGERS kill and eat humans too.
But the polar bears make much nicer rugs when you kill 'em.
White matches with any decor while trying to match furniture and tiger skin isn't easy. Of course a nice taxidermy head trophy of either is a real conversation piece at the country house.
Can't shoot 'em all mind you; the seal population and that of 7-11 owners will be overwhelming.
