A Diseased Turd’s Ode to His Own Confused Penis





Whilst still living in his elderly mother’s basement — Jim Robinson manages to publish his technologically-retarded “blog,” that he calls Free Republic.

If you are not familiar with it — it is a well know shithole of right wing haters who were recently invited to the White House by our own “nappy-headed whore” of a president, George Bush.

Well, it seems that Jim woke up with a giant woody tonight, and Squirted a Nocturnal Emission of a Manifesto about what he — and the other limp dicks over at Free Republic — stand for.

Normally, I ignore his wanking spew, but I feel that one priceless “section” of his hate rant should be featured for all the world to see. I mean, we certainly don’t want anyone to overlook that a piece-of-crap like Jim exists in the world we live in.

You can read Jim Robinson’s rant below the foreskin….






And, without further ado:

Never ever vote for or support a known gay activist or supporter of gay rights.

It’s not about equality or fairness or compassion or any other liberal malarkey. The gay agenda is all about removing human decency and morality from our society.

The end result is anything goes when it comes to perverted public sexuality. At your expense.

At your children’s expense.

At the loss of your basic rights to free speech, free religion and freedom to raise your children as you feel best.

It’s about the government forcing homosexuality onto an unwilling public.

It’s about forcing employers to employ cross dressers and other perverts against their will.

It’s about forcing the taxpayers to fund sex change operations.

It’s about forcing the taxpayers to fund healthcare to treat homosexuals and those they infect with the inevitable diseases they spread with their vile activities.

It’s about forcing schools to indoctrinate your children into the “homosexual lifestyle” against your will. Against their will.

It’s about giving up your first amendment right to speak out against homosexuality.

It’s about giving up your first amendment right to freely exercise your religion.

It’s about controlling what you say, and what your preachers are “permitted” to say from the pulpit.

It’s about making speaking out against homosexuality a thought crime and banning the Holy Bible as hate material.

It’s about forcing homosexual marriage onto an unwilling society.

It’s about condemning Christians and Christianity.

Don’t go compassionate on these evil Marxist bastards.

There is nothing “gay” in homosexuality and no freedom in “gay rights.”

Yes, folks. Disgraceful, illiterate,  human garbage, like Jim Robinson, exists amongst us.

And, he even explains his thinking — as if it were something to be proud of.

What a marroon!



The Stars Hollow Gazette

People accuse me of being ridged minded and arrogant.

So what?

If I appear Manichean, too quick to divide things into black and white, I could plead my character but I won’t stoop that low.  Painful experience has taught me I’m smarter than most.

It’s really embarrassing at parties to have the Briggs-Myers INTP turn up and have the banker ask you- “So how does it feel to live in a world full of idiots?”

I dunno, how does it feel for you?

In my personal experience everyone is the producer, director, and star of their own private movie.

Of course you act like a diva, or you should.

This life is your red carpet.  Joan wants to talk to you.

Hope you have a designer dress on and some borrowed jewelry because this is your fifteen minutes of fame.

Significant Truths and Personal Epiphanies

I had heard the word epiphany before but it wasn’t until I was reading a James Joyce passage that I internalized the meaning of the word.  The words as if spoken from a boy that was my age paralleled my own internal thoughts about want and lust.  Joyce’s writings, steeped in oral tradition, were able to transcend the written word and become spoken word and the spoken words related to my own emotional state.

Once you internalize the meaning of epiphany you can begin to recognize when they happen and sometimes why.  There was a girl on the beach in Maine that threw mud at me for no reason, that was the moment that Joyce wrote about when writing about his own life, real or imagined, so many years ago.  A connection was born between the past and present and those seeking knowledge and those providing wisdom or looking to inspire.

The first kill, witnessing two bobcats hunt a rabbit in the middle of the snow, miles from home, the bobcats won, my innocence lost.  Years later I read “Brian the Still Hunter” and shivered in recognition of shadows within.  The primal connections between man and beast the Animal Kingdom Community play out in the imaginations caverns mixing imagery, scents and visions.  At what point do you become what you kill?  Is there a need or desire to kill?  Is it just under the surface?

Hitting a home run, I was a bad baseball player.  To me it was boring, until one day when I needed to pass gym class and the coach eyed me warily and said, “you better show me somethin’ today!”  It was senior year and I preferred going to the Park to hang out than to go to gym class.  Of course the ball hadn’t been hit to me so I was hoping to show off at bat.  Mike was really good at all sports and he was at bat before me.  I watched, really watched how he swung at the ball. He hit a triple into left field.  Without thinking I walked up to the plate and swung just like he did.  I hit a home run.  I passed gym class.  There is a difference between paying attention and really focusing.  Really focusing reveals hidden nuances, subtle shifts, and sometimes the answer to what you are looking for.

Getting lost in the woods, I went for a walk in the woods and let my dog off the leash, he saw a deer, hours later I was lost but had found my dog.  Logging roads don’t always lead to civilization as it turns out.  There was a moment of true panic combined with a bad adrenaline rush, there was also a connection between nightmares of being lost and actually being lost, where one world mixes with the other. Then there was reason.

Zen Motion, doing something so well it becomes effortless and a reflection of nature.  For me this is skiing and occasionally mountain bike descents. There is a moment when time slows down or fast forwards and you are simply there free-falling with purpose.  It is it’s own reward, it is what keeps many of us moving.

The elements, they connect us to our most ancient selves and still hold a lot of knowledge for us to uncover.  Material principles lose meaning when compared to spiritual value and spiritual value is all we have in the end.  This is a recurring theme in my own mandala and whenever it revolves it gains more meaning.

What truths or epiphanies have you?

President Gore, You Have a Date With Destiny

In the process of thinking about what to write for Blog Action Day: the Environment, I just couldn’t conceive of anything that would be more beneficial for the environment that I could write than this, my best plea to get Albert Gore Jr. to be the next President of these United States

Dear Al,

Allow me to add my voice to the hundreds of thousands who have actively urged you to run and the hundreds of millions who are hoping you will and to the nearly seven billion who desperately need you to.

I know this is a heavy, heavy burden and I know you feel it’s weight. The decision that you have to make quite possibly is one that has more implications for all of humanity than any other man has ever borne upon his shoulders.

I understand completely how reluctant you must be to wade back into the ugly swamp of politics, I truly do have some appreciation of the sacrifice it would entail for you and your family and I deeply sympathize. What I and the vast number of others are pleading for you to undertake is a cruel and unusual task, a challenge that is monumental and indeed, nearly epic.

It is, as you and I both know, nothing less than saving the planet.

And that IS to much to ask of one man. Especially of a man who has been so misused and maltreated by the very political system you are being asked to subject yourself to again.

We are asking you to engage in a brutal primary, and then an election under the most partisan circumstances imaginable. An election in which you will doubtlessly be attacked even more viciously than you were in 2000. One in which The Republican Dirty Tricks Machine will throw all it has in it’s arsenal against you, and one in which the Corporate Media will slant and smear you at every opportunity, one in which the vast powers of every International Mega-Corporation in the world will be used to an unprecedented extent and with extreme malicious intent against you. Once you come through that gauntlet, you are then committing  to four to eight years of grueling public service. Every day of which will be a battle unto itself against those same forces, the forces that are attempting in their eyes, no less than their own self-preservation. For the short sighted corporate interests will see you not as a force for good, but as a force out to destroy their stockholders profits.

This is what you face, if you run. Or you can stay out of the swamp and keep working as you are, doing a fantastic job of education and activism. Truly changing the planet from exactly where you are, without having to expose yourself to the barbarity waiting in store for you. It would seem to be an easy choice to make. I can certainly understand why you would not want to run……but……

Tough Shit!

It makes perfect sense for you not to run, any sane person would make that choice…..except for one thing….

Destiny.

As our planet and our future are literally poised on the brink, in a time where the next few years of decision making are critical to the survival of so many species………including ours…..

….it is impossible not to look back at the last decade or so of history and see how your life is intertwined in it. It is impossible to not remark upon the extraordinary series of events that have brought us to this time and place, to this brink. And it is impossible not to look at your central role in them….and at the role you are now being called upon to play. A role that NONE of us wish you were required to fulfill, but that nonetheless….you are.

Whatever Gods we believe in or don’t believe in, we all have a destiny, a shape to out lives. For most of us, our small destinies, the shape our lives end up taking, are fairly prosaic….the Fates rarely interfering or even paying much attention.

This is not so with your life, sir!

You were in Vietnam and for worked for five years afterwards as a journalist. You have served in both the House and the Senate and so know the intricacies of the Congressional process (albeit in saner times!) and then of course, you served as Vice President. You know both our Government and the Fourth Estate extremely well. You have a singular and unique set of experiences of our systems and our times. Then, as you were poised to assume the highest office of the land after winning the 2000 election, your seeming destiny….the Fates DID take a hand. And as horrible as the last six years have been….in a very meaningful way, we owe them thanks.

For though things would be much different today if you had been President, you would not have been shaped into the man you are today. And the man you are today is exactly who our country and the planet needs to lead us. And there is no mistaking the fact that at this juncture in history, we desperately need a leader. I very strongly believe that both your past in government service and the last six years you have spent outside of the grind of politics have given you the perspective needed to be that leader. You are in unique position…one decreed perhaps by destiny….someone who knows the process of government and the media intimately, yet has managed to escape the bubble of politics that seems to blind an smother those inside it, and that seems to convince them not to be bold, not to be true leaders.

Destiny has led you to a unique perspective of leadership, has shaped and made you into the very individual the world and our nation needs today. A smart, tough, seasoned, smart, compassionate, smart, wisened and smart leader who understands the current and future varied, vast and daunting complexities we face. Ans who unlike our current leader….is smart.

Everyone with half a brain can see what is happening with our weather, and everyone who is paying attention can see the progression and accumulation of the Climate Crisis as various factors are complimenting each other to hasten the onset of Warming. For God’s sake, the Corporations see the melting of the Arctic ice not as a near dead canary in the coal mine, but as an opportunity to extract more fossil fuels! This madness must be addressed and addressed immediately.

  Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

But Global Warming is not the only madness that needs addressing, you have proven that you also CLEARLY see and understand the crisis our Constitution and our government (as evidenced here, in perhaps the best speech in our young century) is in and the consequences of that crisis as well. You are the only potential candidate that has directly addressed this issue. I’m sure that you have only grown more horrified as time has passed since that speech, as we have all witnessed the ongoing crimes and abuses of our Constitution and our Freedoms.

If the world has a chance to change, America must lead that change. Must lead as the beacon of freedom and justice it once was, not as the bully and oppressor of freedom it is now. I firmly believe that you and only you among all the candidates understand how important it is to restore the Rule of Law in our country.

As well as how vital it is to restore our nations standing in the world so that we can lead. Throughout your world travels on behalf of the planet you have become a de facto good will ambassador for our country, our only diplomat. I know you will continue to reach out diplomatically, and that the leaders of the world know and trust you and will be happy to work with you. We MUST partner with the entire world at this time, we have no other choice. We need to restore our good name and renew their trust in our country. You can accomplish that as well.

Indeed, it is not so much that our nation and this world needs repairing, in may ways we have moved beyond that stage. What we need now is to create a new paradigm. To in effect, create a new world out of the ashes of the world that George Bush has set aflame. To do that we truly do need a man of vision, a man of deep comprehension and understanding of the plight that we are in, and who sees clearly the dire future in store for us and future generations….IF we do not leave off the ways of war and division and find a way for the whole planet to work together. To work together to address the multitude of current and future problems we face, and to create a new way of being that is healthier for us all and that is truly sustainable. To create a world that we can pass along to our children and grandchildren and the next seven generations.

The candidates the Democrats have to offer are good men and women and ANY of them will be a marked improvement after the destruction that George Bush and Republicanism have wrought. We are lucky ro have them. But none of them have as yet to stand up and make the commitment to the planet OR the Constitution that you have.

None of them have the truly unique perspective and knowledge and skill set you do, none of them have the world standing and respect that you do, and none of them have the ability to make the immediate difference we so desperately need in turning this disastrous situation we find ourselves in around. I do NOT want to pin the label of savior or messiah on you.

A savior must work alone…..and you will NOT be alone. Every human on the planet is waiting for something to rouse us and rally us and give us a way forward, a real and meaningful way to work towards a better future. I know, you are just a human being too, although an extraordinary one. You are not a miracle worker….but you ARE our best hope. Destiny is calling you.

Destiny denied you the Presidency in 2000, because destiny was saving you for when you were really needed. Destiny seems to have led you on the quest to save the planet that you have so very nobly begun. Destiny has transformed you from the man you were then to the man you are now. Destiny has supplied you with an army of supporters and admirers who will work their fingers to the bone and dig holes in their pockets to support your work and your candidacy. We are all of us waiting for someone to stand up, to rally us, to point the way. For someone to say that there IS a way, that we CAN do this. Just point the way, and the country and the world will rise up to follow your direction. Destiny has made you into the man our country needs to lead us, the man the world needs, the man the planet needs.

I trust destiny to inform you when it is time to run. And I trust that you will listen to and fulfill that destiny. That you will heed destinies guidance….

For as you yourself said

As I stand here today, I am filled with optimism that America is on the eve of a golden age in which the vitality of our democracy will be re-established by the people and will flourish more vibrantly than ever. Indeed, I can feel it in this hall.

As Dr. King once said, perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.

Destiny is waiting for your announcement, as are we all.

These dark times owe us a hero. We are hoping it is you. For we ALL want to fight, we all want to work, we all want to see the world change. We all want to come closer to what we all know in our hearts this world CAN be. We just need a hero to fight beside us, to lead us into the battle we all know needs to be fought and fought soon. So we acknowledge it, we are asking much of you, the man. It will be a hard, long fight, even with us beside you, even with all of us working together.

But just stop for a moment as the time to make your decision closes in, stop and think not of the sacrifice and hard work…but….

…..think of the feeling you will have when we succeed! When all of us working together are able to turn the destiny of the planet itself away from destruction, and towards the creation of a new and better world, a new and better way. Think of what that will mean to all of us, and to every child who comes after us.

With all of us working together, working hard, we can do it. We WANT to do it. All we need is someone to get us started, someone to show us how, someone to lead us onto the first step of the journey. We need someone to point the way and give us hope.

We need YOU, President Gore. Destiny is calling. All you have to do is answer, and we will answer too!

 

Blog Action: Wolf Awareness Week (W/photos)

Cross posted at the Daily Kos under betson08

Blog Action Day coincides with Wolf Awareness Week. So I thought I’d startle you into noticing an issue that has been really bothering me since I first heard about it a month ago, and diaried it over at the Daily Kos here.

There have been important recent developments, so I thought I’d take advantage of the environmental theme of Blog Action Day to pass them on.

Who in the world would go up in a small plane and slaughter these majestic creatures, and how can we stop this?

Despite the fact that it was outlawed more than 30 years ago, the State of Alaska continues to actively promote the aerial killing of wolves (and bears too, btw). This is NOT a sport in any sense of the term.

This information comes from the Defenders of Wildlife website.

More than 30 years ago, Congress banned the use of airplanes to hunt or harass wolves and other wildlife by passing the federal Airborne Hunting Act (AHA). This barbaric and unethical practice has been resurrected in Alaska under the guise of wildlife management. Voters in Alaska have tried to stop aerial hunting twice through state ballot measures, only to have their efforts largely overturned by the Alaska Legislature. A state law allows the Legislature to overturn legislation passed through the ballot-measure process after two years. Alaska legislators and the Board of Game have circumvented the will of Alaskan voters and the intent of Congress by exploiting a loophole in the AHA to resurrect aerial hunting, under the term “wildlife management.”

The state’s program lacks a sound, comprehensive scientific foundation and aims to virtually eliminate wolves in nearly 60,000 square miles of Alaska for the sole purpose of artificially inflating specific game populations largely for urban and out-of-state hunters. It also targets brown and black bears by promoting the use of aircraft for “land and shoot” hunting of bears in more than 12,000 square miles of the state. Other states are considering similar programs. <

Some Background: Hunting or Wildlife Management?

Congress passed the federal Airborne Hunting Act (AHA), which was enacted in 1972, to stop private hunters from harassing and shooting wolves and other animals from aircraft. The act contains appropriate exceptions for wildlife management based on sound science. But the Alaska state legislature and the Alaska Board of Game have repeatedly adopted legislation and regulations respectively that exploit one of the act’s exceptions in order to allow aerial hunting to be resurrected.

Currently, private citizens with state permits can either land and shoot wolves or shoot them from the air in almost 60,000 square miles of Alaska, and land and shoot bears in more than 12,000 square miles

The hunting is done in many of the same regions of the state in which wolf hunters operated before the Airborne Hunting Act was passed.

The hunters and pilots who have received permits include some of the same aerial wolf hunters from those earlier years.

These hunters use their own planes, pay all expenses of the hunt and are entitled to keep or sell the pelts.

The only major thing that has changed since pre-AHA years is that hunters and pilots must obtain a permit from the state and hunt wolves and bears only within predator-control areas designated by the Board of Game.
Moreover, the goal of the program, as acknowledged by the Board of Game, is to artificially depress predator populations solely for the purpose of increasing moose or caribou numbers for hunting. This is clearly outside the scope of the AHA’s letter and intent.

Predator control in accordance with scientific wildlife management would be much more limited geographically and would be conducted more efficiently by professional personnel employed by the Department of Fish and Game. It would also be limited to those situations where there is a serious biological problem, not based on Alaska politicians’ desire to boost hunting opportunities.

The bottom line is this: In Alaska, private hunters are once again using aircraft to harass and shoot wolves and bears from the air. That is a clear violation of the letter and spirit of the Airborne Hunting Act as passed by Congress.

Here’s another thing the State of Alaska does. Think the wolf version of Bambi.

Before the close of the 2006/2007 aerial hunting season, Gov. Sarah Palin’s administration placed a $150 bounty on wolves killed by serial hunters. To claim the bounty, the hunter had to turn in the wolf’s left foreleg. The bounty was immediately thrown out by a state court. Each year the aerial hunting programs continue until April 30, well into wolf denning season when mothers are giving birth to pups.

The State of Alaska is actually thwarting democracy on this issue, as the legislature has twice overridden ballot initiatives. Anybody else smell huge campaign contributions?

In 1996, Alaska voters approved a ballot initiative that banned aerial wolf hunting in Alaska, except in the event of a biological emergency. Three years later, the state Legislature largely overturned the ballot initiative and revived aerial hunting. In 2000, a second ballot measure banning the use of aircraft by private citizens to kill wolves
passed by a margin of 54 percent. In 2003, the Alaska legislature again overturned the will of Alaska voters and passed a law that exploits an unintended loophole in the AHA to provide the opportunity for private hunters to kill wolves using aircraft in areas designated for predator
control.

More than enough signatures have been collected to place the issue on the ballot for a third time in 2008.

What is actually needed is Federal legislation. Here’s where the wolves and, frankly, common decency, have a friend in Rep. George Miller (D-CA)

On Sept. 25th, Miller introduced H.R. 3663, the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act, which would prohibit this practice.

Here are the co-sponsors as of 10/10

Rep Waxman, Henry A. [CA-30] – 10/10/2007
Rep Wexler, Robert [FL-19] – 10/10/2007

To ask YOUR Congressional representative to co-sponsor this legislation, go here
The Defenders of Wildlife would like to get 40,000 people to take action, and right now they have about 23,000. We’ve got a big community here that can make a huge difference on this bill.
