"We eat. therefore we hunt"???

[Peacetrain]

What the heck does that mean?

I snore therefore I sleep.

I pee therefore I drink.

:shrug:

[FSogol]

1. To stay on as Governor would be quitting, so I'm quitting. And also.

You expect logic or clarity from this woman?

[Peacetrain]

3. I question, therefore I am confused

:rofl:

[FSogol]

5. In what respect, Charlie? n/t

[Peacetrain]

10. Spewing coffee everywhere

[dalaigh lllama]

2. You've been watching the crazy lady in Santa Cruz, haven't you?

"Growing food is free. You just have to buy the land and the seeds." :crazy:

[Peacetrain]

4. I forgot about her.. no that was a Sarah Palin quote from her exit speech..

[dalaigh lllama]

6. Oh. THAT crazy lady. heh.

[tj2001]

7. We also grow vegetable trees - like lettuce trees and potato trees

[theoldman]

8. Most of us live in the city and don't have to hunt for our food.

Sometimes I forget where it is in the store and that is the only time I have to hunt for my food.

[Hutzpa]

9. There is a DUer who speaks Palinese

you need to put the call out, as for me, I can't help you.....:shrug:



:rofl:

[Peacetrain]

12. ahh the ancient long forgotten Fargo dialect..Palinese..

~setting aside my bat signal, and pulling up the moose~ I wonder if they will respond and translate this for us :)

[tkmorris]

[Wickerman]

15. Makes perfect sense

the cost of hunting is WAY, WAY cheaper than going to the supermarket, the corner store, the general store, or, even the locally grown farmer's market.

Right. And if you believe that I have a ton of leftover compassionate conservative to sell you.

[bertman]

25. You may be assuming that you're not hunting on your own or nearby land. Or that the

hunter is incapable of gutting and butchering the deer, bear, rabbit, bird, squirrel, duck, goose. Even if you have to pay for someone to butcher a deer it is significantly cheaper than buying most locally-raised beef or pork.

I have friends who keep their freezer full of venison and other wild game that they hunt. They give me some occasionally. It's delicious. It's also organic and very lean for the most part.

[Wickerman]

37. I'm pretty familiar with the costs of hunting and in the modern day and age

I don't see a lot of cost savings.

License, clothing, lease, transportation, weapons, ammo, freezer, etc.

If you like to hunt, by all means, please do; it makes for less deer to hop out in front of my teenage daughters as they drive the roads of Minnesota. But I don't see the We hunt SO we eat as a viable reason in economics terms for most people. Most people I know are lucky to break even over the course of a season even with much of the above purchased.

[bertman]

39. The freezer, clothing, weapons, lifetime hunting license, and transportation are all

long-term purchases that, spread out over their lifetime(s) represent a small percentage of the cost. A freezer is going to be holding meat. Might as well be wild.

You refer to leases and transportation as if they are an essential. Perhaps they are where you live, but here in North Carolina, all you need is to know some folks with a farm or property who allow you to hunt. Travel is minimal.

Not factored into the equation is the time spent in the outdoors and all of the amazing things that hunters see and experience while they are waiting, waiting, waiting. My friends have seen bobcats, coyotes, bear, hawks, eagles, and many other creatures that the average non-hunter will rarely or never see in the wild when they have no awareness that a human is around. Those experiences are priceless.

And finally, there are the intangibles of being able to do something that you love and enjoy while also providing table fare.

[Wickerman]

40. Understand that I have no argument against hunting

but Palin's reference to We eat so We Hunt. That implies that hunting for food is a cheap and viable alternative to supermarket shopping. For most Americans I'd argue that simply isn't the case. If you already have a freezer, a weapon, a lifetime license, and access to nearby land, great. If you don't, it's cheaper to buy food in the store.

[bertman]

44. I understand. And I agree.

[On the Road]

16. Both Verbs are in the Simple Present Tense

indicating "the idea that an action is repeated or usual".

She means that becase we have a habit of eating, we have developed a habit of hunting in order to make that possible.

Seems perfectly clear.

[maxsolomon]

17. It means: hunting should be part of the cycle of food because everyone eats.

hunting meat is integral to alaskan's "rugged" self-image, and to some alaskan's subsistence. and that's perfectly fine.

as with most of her speaking, those being dog-whistled know what she MEANT.

so, are they going to eat those helicopter-slaughtered wolves, then?

[Mz Pip]

18. How do you cook wolf meat?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Holly_Hobby]

38. +1 n/t

[Hugabear]

42. How do they get the wolf into the helicopter?

I'd like to know that also.

[Peacetrain]

19. dang they're late getting here..

:rofl:..

[izzybeans]

20. another false Cartesian dualism?

Mrs. Palin, you are without thought, therefore, unfortunately, still "am"...just not governor.

[county worker]

21. I hunt for my food also. The store keeps rearranging the floor so just as you get use to where

everything is that you normally buy, they shake up the layout and you have to act like an Alaskan after a moose to find anything!

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. I think the hidden message might be

they are gong to take our guns and we will starve?

That said , I find nothing wrong with hunting to provide food for your familly , but she is just nuts.


Maybe se could whomp us up some wolf stew.

[Blue_In_AK]

32. No, she's just pissed off at people who oppose

her aerial "predator control." All of that part of the "speech" was a dig at Ashley Judd and Defenders of Wildlife.

[quaker bill]

23. Cows and pigs

do not fare very well in most of Alaska. Meat and produce that is flown in from the lower 48 is expensive and quite a drive / bush plane flight to get.

A great many people in Alaska hunt and fish for subsistence. While curious in wordsmanship, Ms. Palin actually has come near having a point with this line.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

24. Does Bear taste delicious? (warning: hunted animal photos - non graphic).........

And how does one exactly cook helicopter-felled wolf?

[bertman]

26. I've only eaten bear meat once. It's not my favorite. And speaking of crabs.

Nevermind.

[juno jones]

27. Well if the things I'm reading lately are correct about

the incidence of cruztefeld-jacobs (sp, I know)and prions similar to mad cow in deer herds in the lower 48, hunting wild animals is not necessarily an optimal way of gathering protien either.

Of course, Sarah is already a mad cow and I doubt eating contaminated caribou is gonna hurt her any.

[rzemanfl]

28. She missed Metaphysics and Epistemology in her college tour.

She is also a dumbass.

[MrScorpio]

29. We Shit. Therefore we flush. nt

[donco6]

33. Other way around, tho.

We flush, therefore we shit.

Gotta keep that palin-drome accurate.

[MrScorpio]

34. Sorry about that

I was thinking sensibly

[donco6]

41. It's hard to shake that at first, but when you go with it -

it's fun.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. The very wonderful Gryphen at The Immoral Minority put it this way:

"We eat, therefore we hunt" - Sarah Palin
"I think, therefore I am" - Rene Descartes
"She speaks gibberish, therefore she's Sarah Palin" - Gryphen, pajama clad blogger


:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

31. We'll have to wait for freepers to come down from their post-ejaculatory afterglow to tell us.

[Catshrink]

35. The Palinistas think: she said "therefore" so she's smart

They don't normally use such fancy words and when someone does, that means he or she is educated -- or at least smarter than they are. Doesn't take much, I know. There's a lot of projection going on in the Palinistas.

[Politicalboi]

36. I think it means

Cling to your guns. Obama is going to take them away.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

43. It means there are no grocery stores or

restaurants in Alaska. There go the tourist dollars, if you eat that is.
