In reply to the discussion: 'Shutdown worsens historic blizzard that killed tens of thousands of South Dakota cattle' [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)18. But...According to "Some" we Dem Left are "Overly Concerned with our Pets!"
The RW thinks that ANIMALS and HUMANS are SUBJECT to the ARMAGEDDON...where we will all be Held "Accountable."
I have a RW Relative who wants his Hound Dogs to GO DOWN with HIM to be buried in his Grave in the Family Plot...because they HUNT BIRDS and he identifies with BIRD EMPIRE...because he watches the Duck Dynasty and rides a Bike to Myrtle Beach to Commune.
Hey...not trashing him...but, one can see the DIVIDE...we need to CROSS.
I try to "Channel in Thinking" ...Joe Bageant and "Deer Hunting for Jesus" when I don't freak out over all of this.
We are in HARD TIMES...!

Stinks there or is it cold enough to keep the stink down? Could take a while to bury all of them.
