Hate Quotes - page 92
I'm trying to reproduce healthily in a vegetarian way every kind of flesh there is - bacon, smoked salmon, roast meat. We're working on it. A lot of vegetarians complain that my book [Linda McCartney's Home Cooking] is meat-oriented and some of the products look like meat. For me, though, it's a matter of not just preaching - I hate to do it and it doesn't work - but helping to make the alternatives more attractive to more people. Change the eating habits and maybe you change the thinking habits. ... I'm convinced that part of the reason the world is so sick is that so many people eat flesh. What are you doing but eating a slab of fear? ... Look how long it took to abolish slavery. There was a time when much of the "civilized" world thought it was acceptable. And then they saw that it was wrong. I think the same thing will happen with eating animals. I have faith that the day will come when the world looks back and says, "How could we have done that?"
Linda McCartney
President Obama says that conservatives hate women, that there's a war on women, and that the only thing that women care about is birth control. Oh, Mr. President bless your heart. Which man in your administration came up with that one? Women aren't a cheap date. Women want a little more out of life than contraceptives. Just the other day I got a call from a friend back home. She's 64-years-old. She told me her insurance company contacted her to say that under Obamacare they would pay for contraceptives but not for her blood pressure medication. She told them to put it in writing so she could share it with her congressman. What women want is not free contraceptives. We want opportunity. We want all the potential of the American economy unlocked for us. We want the government to stay out of our way ... stay out of our wallets... and stay out of our emails. We want to have choice. Not the type of choice that men in the Democratic Party talk about, but real choice.
Marsha Blackburn
