4. Like this one.
"Notice to hunters in my neighborhood:

I like my cats. They don't wear collars and that is my choice. I respect your right to hunt. Okay? But just so you know, if you shoot my cat, I'll find you and I'll come to your house and I'll shoot you in the f***ing head, then I'll go in your house and find your kids, and I'll shoot them in their f***ing heads, then I'll set your f***ing house on fire. Just so you know."

:rofl: Is it that over the top on purpose, I wonder....?

8. He is right
He should put the word out that his pets are not fair game, and any sick sob who tries to change that will suffer the consequences.

17. He Is Right?
Wow.

Kill a roaming cat = deserves to get shot in the head along with your family and have your house burned down.

Wow.

27. I agree with you Zuni. If someone knew my cat and shot it
purposely....

This happened to my cousin when a neighbor shot her dog when the dog went on his property. The neighbor knew it was her dog too. He never warned her he would kill her dog if it wandered on his property or he never told her he was upset the dog was wandering on to his property. This happened in Indiana.

9. Yeah that's about how I feel too
Although my cats only have short supervised visits outside now, I did have indoor/outdoor cats when I lived in a house with a big yard. I wanted to kill the little fucking kid who shot a bebe into my beautiful Shadow cat when he was minding his own business playing in our yard. (only hit him in the elbow and was not fatal)

11. I'd stop short of murdering the kids
but the rest is fair game in my book.

15. Gah, I should have recognized it!
Whenever that sort of thing starts going I can't help but thinking of Bobby DeNiro in the Untouchables.

"I want that fancy (?) boy Elliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD. I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle night and piss on his ashes!"

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

It's "I'll kill you, I'll kill your family, I'll kill all your friends, and I'll burn your house down."

7. That summed up my feeling about whackos who might kill my kitty
I would show no mercy. If my indoor cat escaped and wandered into some nutcases yard, and he shot her, I would throw a fucking firebomb into his house as long as no one was inside. I would destroy his life, short of killing the SOB.

10. And Governor Doyle is killing the bill
MADISON, Wis. - A proposal to legalize the killing of feral cats is not going to succeed, Gov. Jim Doyle said Wednesday.

"I don't think Wisconsin should become known as a state where we shoot cats," said Doyle, a Democrat who neither hunts nor owns a cat. "What it does is sort of hold us up as a state that everybody is kind of laughing at right now."

22. Hooray Gov. Doyle
without cats, rodents and rats would multiply in vast numbers. Cats primarily hunt mice and rodents, not birds.

32. The cats have to be killing a lot of rodents. Heck, all a chipmunk has
to do is walk on my deck and the next thing the chipmunk is in my cat's mouth. I can stop the cat by pouring water on the back of its neck; he releases a very scared chipmunk who then runs away.

14. Rush spent at least a half hour on this today
I heard it while I was out getting lunch.

He was dead against it and said that it was liberals who were trying to kill the cats.

16. Is he not even paying attention?
Let us for a moment slip on a spacesuit and visit RushWorld: within this internal logic, why would liberals who hate guns use them to kill cats? Oh that's right, because we're all crazed and violent from smokin' the chronic...

24. Why would the (in Rush's world)
gun grabbing, PETA loving, tye-dyed birkenstock wearing art museum attending ELITISTS liberals be doing with firearms hunting cats, when we are animal rights nuts?

How did he manage to blame us?

26. It is literally doublethink
The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. 'Reality control', they called it: in Newspeak, 'doublethink'.

20. OMG! It doesn't surprise me!
I posted on a thread last week about what skill/talent we'd most like to have, and I said the ability to hold completely contradictory thoughts in my head, at the same time, and speak them at the same time and call both utterly true. Just like the republicans/freeps can do.

Liberals are tree hugging PETA supporting gun-confiscating nitwits who care more about the life of one animal than they do a thousand people.

Liberals are the ones who having orgasms over the prospect of taking out their rifles and guns so they can go shoot the neighbor's cat.

I wish I knew how Rush and the rest of those evil fucks can do this. It's a skill I've never been able to master. Maybe because I have a brain, but I don't know.

19. Wow, can't tell if it's freerepublic or DU
seems about the same for and against, with the same arguments, as here.

Only thing is, we know it's freerepublic cuz you can't fucking follow anything cuz of the layout.
