I ran an announcement almost as soon as it was announced that Sen. John McCain had chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. In that story, I mentioned that already the left was calling Palin a wolf killer. This has set off a long list of comments, some you may want to take a look at.
But here’s one I got overnight pertaining to Alaska’s policy of killing wolves from aircraft as a tool to manage overgrown pockets of wolves in a limited number of areas where caribou and moose are suffering.
This is not a matter of hunters rights or gun rights. It is a matter of common decency. Aeiral[sic] hunting is barbaric and beyond cruel. It is as bad or worse than clubbing baby seals in Japan.
It is a ugly blight on our nation.
I am an independent who was going to vote for McCain – but he just lost my vote.
Are we now to assume that this person is going to cast his ballot for Barack Obama? This, a man who openly promotes the killing of unborn babies and unwanted newborn babies with defects. I guess it’s pretty barbaric to shoot a wolf from a plane but killing humans isn’t an “ugly blight on our nation”?
This pretty much tells the story of what direction our society has headed in.
