Sarah Palin's Parents Kill Rats in Retirement

I would suggest that we not wait until retirement to kill rats. We should learn to kill and eat rats early in life, as many cultures of the world do. A rat has, I understand, the taste of a rabbit or squirrel, two fellow animals that are often killed and eaten, especially in the wild regions of NE Pennsylvania. With the price of beef and even chicken, two animals tha may cause brain diseases that are difficult to pronounce and spell, rats are cheap to raise. They will eat almost anything (including the toes of humans) and can grow quickly. Surely some enterprising soul could determine how to use their hides and claws as well. For a start, what about using the hides for baseball covers and the claws for back scratchers? Anyone who kills a rat could be commended and surely congress can pass a "National Day of Ratkilling" in their spare time. The baseball commissioner could appoint a committee to see if the thinner hide would contribute to more homeruns and dispense with the need for muscle building drugs by our athletes.

As Christians, we should be doing and saying things to glorify God. Christian hunters is an oxymoron. If Pastors studied hunters in the Bible they may be surprised. When God gave us 'dominion over' the animals (who belong to their Creator), it meant to be good stewards of them. This was God's first commission while living in harmony in the 'Garden of Eden'.

But, we have twisted it's meaning and have been deceived for centuries. Someday we will all need to give an account to God for every creature as said in Hebrews 4:13.

Pro-life is not the same as anti-abortion.

Of course you're from California, Jim.

Bush lied. Chaney spends all day helping his big oil friends. The Army killed 100,000 'innocent people' in Iraq. Blah, blah, blah.

Childish gibberish.

First off, you don't know what Bush said. You've never paid attention to anything he has said. You listen to your liberal friends spout their non-sense and you think you have the facts. You're an idiot.

Start at the beginning. Bush never said there were nuclear weapons in Iraq. He said they were developing WMDs. For you dopes in California, WMDs include poisonous gases, biological weapons and many other methods of indiscriminatly killing masses of people. That's not a lie, Jim. Thats a fact.

And how about 100,000 people killed in Iraq, Jim? Who killed them?

US military action has targetted and killed people with guns and bombs who are shooting at them. Those would be called terrorists, Jim. Also killed have been the civilians who the terrorists hide behind. Is that what you would do in a battle Jim? Would you hide behind school girls and shoot at armed soldiers? And what do you think would happen, Jim? Why, you'd be killed, Jim. Along with some of the civilians.

And, oh by the way, Jim, those are the same terrorists who have BLOWN UP AND HACKED UP YOUR 100,000 PEOPLE.

We are killing the terrorists. They are killing the people.

But, doesn't matter to you, does it, Jim. Bush lied. Chaney & his oil friends. Blah, blah, blah........

Thank you Mike of AZ. No further comment needed. The good news is, if Sarah Palin did not shake up the Liberal's in this country they would leave her alone.

It is quite tiresome to hear the mainstream media tell me what "mainstream America" believes and wants.
