... defending the welfare of animals from a Christian perspective. That's why I found it shocking that he lent his skills as a writer in penning Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the Republican convention.

So presumably, the cute little Fifi dog Obama is holding will be part of what new HSHS boss wants to be the last generation generation: "One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding." Sorry, but these people have a very radical agenda, and the fact that they have warmly endorsed Barack Obama provides yet another reason to vote against him. I'll take a pit bull in lipstick any day! And ...
Rush is wrong?
Michelle Malkin —
... that took place around the globe to celebrate the election of the candidate who the Humane Society Legislative Fund endorsed , the Humane Society should be a little more embarrassed by that irony than of any hunter and gun owner backlash against Rush. Maybe Rush just felt the need to pick up the slack for President Obama’s ...
