A Natural Idiot.

From the "We Can't Make This Stuff Up Department." Want to know how out-of-touch with the natural world - and with reality - the earthy-crunchy Left is? This much:

"To all you hunters who kill animals for food, shame on you; you ought to go to the store and buy the meat that was made there, where no animals were harmed."

(From a "Speakout" response to an editorial in The Daily Journal [Kankakee, Michigan - subscription required] via Theo.)

Read that again, dear readers. Yes, this nature worshipper actually thinks that meat literally comes from the grocery store. They whip it up in the back or something.

OK, let's review a recent post to remind everyone exactly where beef comes from. Any questions? Good.

I hope this person gets eaten by a bear.

Welcome MCJ readers! Glad y'all stopped by. Look round a bit, there is even more weirdness (and the occasional Episcopal rant) to be found.

And to Therese Z who commented over at The MCJ, the quote is indeed sourced; you have to register to see it, alas, or dig a bit. It comes from a transcript of the paper's "Speakout" section - published 4 January 2009 - in response to an earlier editorial. I have seen the actual quote. Do a search on their website for "Speakout".
