Anonymous said...: you know, that bear video was painful to watch; and listen to. That dumb broad (I'm a woman, so I think in PC culture I'm allowed to say that) sounded like your typical tree-hugging libtard who would be pleading to a gang of violent rapists in a similar fashion. Living creatures with an I.Q. below 104 (bears, rapists, many cops) cannot be spoken to or given logical decisions to make. They only understand one thing - as in: "Ow! That hurts!"...Not far from away from me in the woods surrounding High Point (borders Penn., NJ and NY) 3 dummies from India were hiking about a year ago and came across a black bear. What their actions were at the time aren't exactly clear, but at least two of them understood that you don't have to be a faster runner than the bear; just faster than one of your friends. Long story short - the cops ended up shooting the bear, just to get it to stop gnawing on the carcass of the one slow friend...If you act like prey you will be treated like prey..; November 2, 2015 at 5:11 AM
Anonymous said...: Multiply that hysterical, clueless, nitwit woman by several millions like her of BOTH genders, and you have modern Amerika. I am not a fan or supporter of Sarah Palin. But, I think if she was there, Mr. Bear would have ended up deader than a bucket of hammers.; November 2, 2015 at 8:27 AM
Jimmy the Saint said...: You can identify a bear by its scat.

Black bear scat contains roots and berries.
Brown bear scat contains bells and smells like pepper spray; November 2, 2015 at 11:43 AM

Ed said...: That bear understands that whatever smelled like food in that kayak tastes better with a little pepper sauce. The problem with that dining location, though, is the background music - [high, whiny voice] "Bear! Bear! Bear! Stop eating my kayak!"

It appears that someone has seen too many Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
