Gotta love when common sense triumphs over political correctness.

Turd in a punch bowl

Thanks for the pleasant memory. My sainted mother used to use that term.

Whats a beluga whale? Will I ever see one? Why would I want to see one? They could die off with all the Polar Bears I don’t care.Lets drill in Alaska to lower our cost on fuel to save this country. Lets stop sending our money to the Arabs who in return by the U.S. out from under us. Let them drill where ever they want. The Russians are drilling in Cuba and stealing our oil.

This is a beluga whale:

There was at one time a large population of Belugas here in Cook Inlet. The feds, in their infinite wisdom opened the Inlet to subsistance harvest by Alaska Natives. Natives traveled from all over the state to participate. The resulting "Harvest" has decimated the Belugas to the point of endangerment.

WOW I'll miss them just like I miss the Mammoths. It's not like I wake up every day and say Boy Would I like to see a whale. No it's more like I'd like to find some cheap fuel so I can save some money so I can buy food for my family. You whale huggers don't realize that when we buy Arab oil they turn around and by USA company's and property.

Heres to the tree and whale huggers=

Do the Indian hunters use outboard motors and .50 caliber rifles for killing Beluga whales? Some groups hunt other whales with modern tech for purposes known only to them in their highly modified “traditional” culture.

Sorry, I'm NOT a "whale hugger"

The feds and their greenie stooges brought this situation on themselves. Now the greenies want to use the situation that THEY created to block Oil and Gas and other development, commercial fishing (Only by non-natives) and any other use of Cook Inlet.

It's where most of the Salmon and Halibut in my freezer come from!

Of course!

It's all the "traditional" substance lifestyle after all!

C’mon Sarah have a heart, you let your daughter have unprotected sex before marriage (when is that marriage coming by the way?) and don’t have sympathy on the poor belugas?

Well that's one of the sleaziest, misogynistic pieces of filth I've ever read on Free Republic.

Did you highlight it so you can post it on your KOS and DU accounts, or did you post it there 1st?

You can look at my track record - I’ll admit I’m RINO but to me Sarah is a very polarizing candidate who needs to get her own house in order otherwise it’s gonna be another long four years for us. I think Huckabee is a much better Conservative candidate

Your comments above offend me as a woman.

But then, considering you prefer Huskster, the faux conservative, I’m not surprised. Get back to me when 58 million people vote for your candidate.
