Cannibals and Useful Idiots

not sure that all pasted in right.


Joe Hunter goes to a cocktail party, nothing fancy, just a holiday gathering in Anytown, USA. A conversation begins with Bob Peta, it goes something like this.
• Bob Peta: "Say Joe, didn’t you go deer hunting this year?"
• Joe Hunter: "Sure did Bob."
• Bob: "Man, that’s great, did you get one?"
• Joe: "Yep, I sure did, a nice six pointer."
• Bob: "Hey, that’s great. Say listen Joe, you’re a true hunter, a “real” hunter are you not?"
• Joe: "I sure am."
• Bob: "Say, I hear tell of a kind of hunting where people can go kill animals in fenced areas. You’ve never done that, have you?"
• Joe: "No, no I haven’t."
• Bob: "Well, I wouldn’t call that real hunting, would you Joe?"
• Joe: "Well, that’s not the way I hunt."
• Bob: "I know Joe, but there are people who hunt in fenced areas. I don’t think that’s really hunting, do you Joe?"
• Joe: "well, uh, I guess not."
• Bob: "Great. Say, listen Joe, a group of us concerned “real” hunters are trying to get that method of hunting done away with. We feel it is unethical, will you help us?"
• Joe: "Sure, because that is not the way I hunt, and I’m a real hunter."
• Bob: "Thanks Joe. Here is what we need you to do. As a real hunter the big boys in Congress and the Senate will listen to you. They know that any “real” hunter only hunts the way you do, and that’s the only real hunting there is. What we need you to do is get out there and get petitions signed, people will sign them because you are a real hunter, and they know that only your way of hunting is the “real” way."
So Joe diligently goes after the goal, to ban, and outlaw any kind of hunting that Bob suggest is not real hunting. He gathers up signatures, petitions courts, and makes meetings. He is really cleaning up this unethical way of hunting, he’s got a lot of support. He is gathering “real” hunters from all over, and finally, after much hard work, they get a legal way of hunting banned.
• Bob: "Joe, you did great and we sure appreciate your hard work, but let me tell you what I heard. There is another type of hunting that we think is not right. Could you help us again?"
• Joe: "Well, I guess so Bob. I don’t hunt like that, so it’s not real hunting anyway. How can I help?"
It’s the same old story. It’s odd how Bob Peta keeps adding to the list of what “real” hunting is. However, Joe goes at it hard and heavy, and in the end, he helps get that type of hunting banned. Bob and his friends are happy. Joe is a “real” hunter, and these other guys aren’t, because the way they hunt is different from Joe, and Joe does not like that way of hunting. So what’s the harm in getting rid of that type of hunting. Joe is a “real” hunter after all, not like those other guys. He even goes to sportsmen’s organizations and recruits from within, it’s easy because they are all “real” hunters too. Time passes, and more and more legal ways of hunting are banned. Bob and his friends are real happy with Joe, he’s been a real help. So after all the unethical ways of hunting are gone, Bob and his friends decide that it is time to get Joe’s way of hunting banned, the final chapter.
• Joe: "Bob, hey buddy, this is Joe. I know I helped you get rid of all those other forms of legal hunting, but now there is a move to get rid of the way I hunt."
• Bob: "Well Joe, I know. My friends and I are spearheading that movement."
• Joe: "But Bob, I thought you liked the way I hunt, and it was OK for me to do that type of hunting?"
• Bob: "Well Joe, no, any and all types of hunting are bad, the poor defenseless animals never have a chance, and we dislike, actually we hate hunters."
• Joe: "But I thought the way I hunted was “real” hunting to you?"
• Bob: "Joe, it was all real hunting, but we at PETA and HSUS hate you. Thanks for all your help, we greatly appreciate it."
You see, what Joe became was a “Cannibal”, a “Useful Idiot” to the anti-hunters at HSUS and PETA . They don’t give a rat's backside how you hunt, what you hunt, or where you hunt, they just want all hunting done away with. The sad thing is that they use hunters against hunters for their causes. If you do not support any and all forms of legal hunting, or voice any decent about the way someone else legally hunts, you my friend are a “Cannibal”, and a very “Useful Idiot” to the enemy. Think twice the next time you mouth off against another hunter’s methods, they could be coming after you next.
