Direct quote from Sarah Palin’s new book: “If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

(via timmelideo)

Wow.

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” -Genesis 1:29-30 (KJV)

What say ye now, Sarah Palin?

The tattoo of a U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jordan Christie, of Washington, Ind., with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion 5th Marines, is seen through a hole on the back of his uniform shirt, as he stands guard at a compound in the Nawa district of Afghanistan’s Helmand province, Wednesday, July 8, 2009. His shirt was ripped because he had walked for several days with a backpack during an operation. None of the Marines had a change of shirt and were waiting for resupply.

For anyone interested here is a close up of the tattoo. Some of what the tattoo says was posted already. Here is what the whole tattoo says…

USMC (?)
We are
trained, pushed & tested…
In sweat…
In blood…
‘Till all that is left is
Honor, Courage
& Commitment
to a Brotherhood
& a Freedom
that no man
can take away from us.
Through Pain
our Strength
grows and Battle
our Glory rises.
Born, Bred
for the dogs of War…
We are
