Hillary Clinton

2007-02-25T09:32:00.000-05:00

I just found a very interesting article with a huge list of quotes from Democratic Presidential Candidate Senator Hillary Clinton. Here's a quick run-down of some of my favorites:

“[You] f*cking idiot.”

To a state trooper who was driving her to an event. (Crossfire, p. 84). Describing Hillary’s general personality, Larry Gleghorn, a former state trooper, said: “She was a bitch day in and day out” (The First Partner, p. 119).

“I want you to do damage control over Bill’s philandering … Bill’s going to be president of the United States … I want you to get rid of these bitches he’s seeing … I want you to give me the names and addresses and phone numbers, and we can get them under control.”

Hillary instructing Ivan Duda, a private detective, in the 1980s (The Truth About Hillary, pp. 98-99).

“What the f*ck do you think you’re doing? I know who that whore is. I know what she’s here for. Get her out of here.”

To President-Elect Clinton as she spots him talking to one of his reputed girlfriends at a going-away celebration the day they left Little Rock for Washington, D.C. in January 1993 (Inside the White House, p. 245).

And here's a classic one from good-old Bill -

“Larry, unless they have pictures of me with a goat, I’ll deny it.”

Bill Clinton telling state trooper Larry Patterson what he would do if anyone brought up any of his gargantuan amount of affairs.”

[More Than Sex, The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed! By Larry Patterson]

Seriously, who wants these pigs in office again? You've got one that can't keep their pants on and the other who can't even apologize for a mistake she made 5 years ago. Just say no to Hillary

Representin',

Al Franken

2007-02-14T21:25:00.000-05:00

Al Franken has tossed his hat into the 2008 Minnesota senatorial race with a failed charismatic attempt at a campaign video. He starts off with a strained guarantee to the state's citizens that he truly wants to help, not just crack cheezy jokes with that annoying voice of his. Then he completely rips off Obama's 2004 Democratic National Conventional speech with his detailed description of his parents (thankfully his dad wasn't a goat farmer), and then he rambles on about his wife's government supported upbringing. Now you have to understand that I'm listening to the speech as I'm typing this and I'm laughing at his pronunciation of "Minnesotans" or however the fuck you spell/say it. Al Franken is trying to relate to the poor and underprivileged "Minnesotans", citing FDR as he vaguely jabs at the GOP's lack of extensive social programs. This guy is worthy of keeping an eye on - I really don't know much about him except he's a comedian, is in bed with Air America, hates Republicans (especially O'Reilly (Lies wasn't a good book by the way (holy crap I'm using triple parentheses))), and dawg gonet, people like him. This is going to be a race worth watching - and 2008 just got a whole lot more interesting.

Barack Obama

2007-02-11T19:23:00.000-05:00

Hey everybody, sorry for the long time between posts - I've been pretty busy lately but I finally have the time and the content to do a post.

So yesterday at 11 am in Springfield, Illinois, Junior Senator Barack Obama officially announced his candidacy for President of the United States. Tonight, at 7:24 am eastern in a darkened bedroom I am officially announcing my support for Barack Obama. That's right, good old liberal-hater Gibson is falling in line with a democrat. I will, however, point out that Obama is far from conventional - having examined his voting record and speeches, his strong stance on foreign policy and concern for rights in America show that he lines up nearly directly with my political stance. His new site just launched and it offers a fully interactive and personal experience, allowing for users to create their own personal profiles, join groups, and create their own campaign events. Swing by the site and at least take a gander at his history - I think you'll find that you like it. And if you feel so inclined, feel free to donate to Obama through our very own Thinkgibson donation page. Look for a new post soon....

Obama '08,

Live-Blogging the SotU

2007-01-23T21:18:00.000-05:00

So I was planning on live-blogging the State of the Union from the first entrances but Blogger decided to start spouting errors like that craptastic UNO attack! game. Let's get this rolling - oh fuck, there's too much going on so I'm just going to read ahead (via drudge) and provide my breakdown and analysis.

Holy crap, Bushie made a joke - "These special interest items are often slipped into bills at the last hour – when not even C-SPAN is watching." Predictably he only received a few chuckles and the silence of puckered assholes
A new tax cut program, providing benefits to those who pay for their own healthcare and supporting states that undertake free healthcare by supplying federal funds - good idea, not sure if its going to work though
Great extended rant on need for alternative fuels while still supporting the Oil industry - he'll still get a lot of flack from the left for this, citing his concerns for the american workplace as an "industrial buyout"
"America and it's allies have protected people by staying on the offense" - excellent mention of the success of preemptive strikes and the continued capture of terrorists
Harsh Islamic attack - not really feeling the religious rant, kind of makes me believe less in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and feel like its really "Operation Jesusize those Towel Heads"
Pelosi looks pissed, her deadly stare at bush's backside during his terrorism rant is truly frightening
I just realized that I haven't seen a reaction shot of Hillary or Obama yet - kinda weird as those are the two that should probably be focused on the most
HOLY CRAP - Wesley Autrey, NY Superman, the guy who saved the man on the NY subway trakcs is mentioned in Bush's speech - now that's awesome
I love the ending - the numerous examples of those who truly recognize and ultimately fulfill the American dream is incredible
"Yet we can go forward with confidence – because the State of our Union is strong ... our cause in the world is right ... and tonight that cause goes on." Pretty good ending sentence, definitely leaves us with a purpose and that feel-good kinda thing.

Overall it was , well, it was the State of the Union, wtf did you expect? Tons of clapping, lots of partisan comments, and overall not a total failure. Great vision, but can we do it? Start praying to your deity now because if we keep on moving down the path we're on we will be royally screwed. The State of our Union is unknown, as rampant partisanship leaves little room for progress or change - let's do something about it.

A Surge Towards Victory

2007-01-16T16:26:00.000-05:00

President George W. Bush’s so-called “surge” speech presented his unique and encouraging plan to end the quagmire in Iraq. By sending approximately 21,500 more troops to the struggling Middle-Eastern country, Bush hopes to regain lost territory, especially in the Anbar province. The added support will also work towards training more brigades of Iraqi soldiers in order to expedite the transition of power to the fledgling Islamic democracy. Democrats have, of course, assaulted this plan with the vengeance of the obese seeking the last croissant at Sunday brunch.

Pelosi’s posse has cited the need for a diplomatic solution while constantly ignoring that there is a militaristic aspect to war. The streets of Baghdad are divided, but not by lines as clear as friend or enemy. Dozens of militias conflict in their terms of motivation yet still share a common goal – destroy the occupiers. Others turn inward in their campaign of violence, citing a 1300-year-old conflict as a cause for death, pain, and suffering. These fear mongers must be dealt with in extreme terms; they must be met by America’s finest, ready to secure the freedom and liberty of millions of innocent Iraqis.

The current troop level is simply not enough. Lack of resources requires the military to focus less time on certain sections of the country, allowing the insurgents to build up strongholds. Fallujah is a key example of the price we must pay when we leave a trouble area to take care of itself. Only with more troops can we wrestle the streets from the insurgents. Through constant and vigilant patrols, Iraq can be secured and made safe for a democratic government. As soon as the Iraqi army can stand on their own, they will receive their country on a silver platter.

As Americans, we must stand together and support the president’s new plan for Iraq. The introduction of more troops can only bring success closer and in the end allow the soldiers to return home sooner. We must remain dedicated to our foreign policy and never lose sight of the ultimate victory – the establishment of a free and independent democracy in the Middle East.

A Surge Towards Victory

2007-01-16T10:22:00.000-05:00

It’s nine in the evening on a typical Tuesday night and the nation is crowded around the tube. Not a collective, of course, but rather a smattering of liberals, republicans, Christians, Muslims, baby boomers, generation “X”ers, aristocrats and proletariats, all determined to support, rebuke, or simply hear the words of our commander in chief.

First Promise Broken of 110th

2007-01-07T17:39:00.000-05:00

Drudge Report (awesome site) is reporting that house leaders have set a four day work week despite earlier claims to work harder by establishing a Monday through Friday schedule. This, to me, is hilarious - rarely do you see campaign visions shattered so early after winning the election. The hilarity grows when you realize that liberal trumpeter The Washington Post ran a front page article in heralding the five day week and the dream of a democratic congress. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not hardcore anti-liberal congress here - I just want to point out that everything Pelosi and her posse promised (hardcore alliteration right there) might not come to fruition. I strongly support ethics reform especially on an Obama-like scale and the movement towards alternate sources of energy, but I'm not jumping for joy at the hopes of the blue 110th like some people are. Keep a close on this session - it could get very interesting.

Update: Upon closer examination of the article, it appears the four day work week isn't set in stone - it is simply pointing out that the house will not be in session tomorrow because of a college football game and that next monday is MLK Jr day. The question still remains if this temporary thing will turn into a long term practice.

Thinkgibson.com was under disrepair for a while due to lack of motivation and excess of incompetence. The site is finally back up after hours of technological wrestling with servers accesable only through web apps. Anyways, I'll be putting some posts up soon as I have tons to talk about - the 110th (Pelosi's Posse), the Democratic People's Republic of Maryland (DPRM), Bush's "surge" plan and much more. Thanks for being patient - let the bitchin' begin!

"Cool Cash" Jefferson be Representin'

2006-05-30T18:06:00.000-04:00

The struggle between the hill and the white house is heating up with the recent debacle that is the Jefferson case. Democratic Representative William Jennings Jefferson of Lousianna's 2nd congressional district has been under investigation by the FBI since March of 2005 for suspected corruption. In August of 2005, following noncompliance from Jefferson regarding video evidence of bribery, the FBI raided the "honorable" representative's home to find $90,000 of illegal bribes stuffed in the freezer. That's right, this mother fucka' is anything but clean. Following even more evidence of corruption, the FBI searched Jefferson's congressional office on May 20th, 2006 - did ya hear that? I think it was the shit hitting the fan and you got some on your face.

So what's the big deal, you ask? Nothing really, except that nearly the entire hill is up in arms about the WARRANTED search, calling it a breech in seperation of powers. "Reckless Justice: Did the Saturday Night Raid of Congress Trample the Constitution?" Representative James Sensenbrenner titled his committe hearing into the matter in such a nuetral manner, dontcha think?
The legislative fears are easy to understand - they are concerned about searches for documents that Bush might want to see before they are revealed on the floor or in committee. Let's look at this logically - even though the FBI is technically part of the executive branch, BUSH IS NOT IN CONTROL. Partisan rivalry does not come into effect in this issue as JEFFERSON WAS A CORRUPT FUCKER - NO OPINIONS NEEDED. The investigators applied for a warrant to search his office hoping to find even more incriminating documents and maybe some cash and a judge granted it. Wait a minute - is that right? Let me say that again - A SEARCH WARRANT WAS GRANTED BY A JUDGE! That's TWO FUCKING BRANCHES. Judicial and Executive - BREECH OF SEPERATION OF POWERS MY ACHING ASS! Sensenbrenner, head of the committee investigating the investigation (lol) has even admitted that his anti-bush views have been a large part of the hearing and his opinions on the issue. The truth is revealed - IT IS THE HILL, NOT THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT IS BASING THIS ISSUE ON PARTISIANSHIP! JEFFERSON IS A SCUMBAG AND WAS LEGALLY SEARCHED BY NONPARTISAN PERSONS - 'nuff said really - fuck the hill.

Constitution is not synonmous for shield,

The Passion of the Anti-Semite

2006-08-07T14:08:00.000-04:00

Mel Gibson is now officially crazy. Sure, some Hollywood hardcore liberals have been criticizing him over his recent religious fanaticism and facial hair madness. But he is now officially gone off the rocker with his drunk driving arrest. Driving under the influence in Malibu really aint that special and certainly isnt enough to warrant the label "insane", but Mel's response has shocked everyone.

When pulled over, Mel immediately accused the arresting officers of being "Fucking Jews" and then stated, "Fucking Jews... the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Wow, Mel - I bet you're a fun one to party with. Back at the station Mel responded to the stares from a female officer - "What are you looking at Sugar Tits?"

OK, so I'm not a big fan of Christ (The Passion of), and certainly don't enjoy Mel's fascination with armaggedon as represented in his new movie Apocalypto. But that doesn't matter when it comes to Mel's flagrant anti-Semitism. This mofo hates Jews and everyone knows it, except those who are blinded by his religious fanaticism. Ann Coulter, crazy ignorant republican whore, recently appeared on the Hannity and Colmes Show to defend Mel's behavior - what the fuck! You can't defend his behavior no matter how much you like him - HE FUCKING HATES JEWS! Seriously ppl, just admit it, Mel Gibson is one fucked up Christian...

I am so ashamed to share the same last name as this hysterical, ignorant, monster...

Don't be hatin',

War

2006-07-24T14:55:00.000-04:00

War is the most devastating consequence of intelligent life. Nothing is worse than seeing a species filled with so much anger and hatred that they kill their own kind. Surely no rational person wants war…

Which brings me to my point – World War III would be a great thing. Don’t get me wrong, I hate death, debt, and destruction as much as the next humanitarian. If this current situation continues to escalate, mankind could very easily find themselves in a long, bloody global conflict between oppressive regimes and humanitarian, democratic governments. But most Americans don’t realize how determined Islamic militants are. Diplomacy and ten-year treaties will not solve anything as they only provide a temporary cease-fire. I fear that the only solution is to forcibly overthrow each and every oppressive government that threatens the civilized and free lifestyle that the western world practices.

Look at Iraq – the conflict was (slightly) bloody and still somewhat continues today. Yet we overthrew the second largest Middle Eastern threat to modern civilization and saved millions of lives. A terrible dictator, Saddam Hussein, is now behind bars with his people finally free to think and act as they want to. It truly is a tiny pearl of democratic beauty in a hellhole of death and persecution. Imagine targeting the worst nations in the world and strategically replacing their dictatorships with democracies. Palestine, Iran, North Korea, Lebanon, and Syria would all become true havens of human rights and democracy.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a hostile takeover - all the original Islamic beliefs and national ideals would remain intact. Once again I point to Iraq – yes, we helped them instate a democracy but they are already disagreeing with us over Iran’s right to nuclear energy. It would be a beautiful thing to see a world full of democratic nations, each and every one thinking independently and differently but working together to benefit all of mankind.

The only problem I foresee is how to go about this conflict without making it appear like a modern, Christian crusade against the Islamic heathens. As long as we continue to state that we are fighting for democracy, freedom, and civilization, the war will be justified.

Just to summarize, World War III would take place mostly in the Middle East and would involve overthrowing anti-American regimes in Syria, Iran, and even North Korea. The conflict would last close to a decade with thousands of Americans dead – but don’t worry, we have a 99% of success. Urban combat would be the main focus after initial army skirmishes. In the end, we would have eliminated nearly all of the threats we face today and would have a peaceful, democratic world. At least until the next major conflict…

Give 'em hell,
Ian M. Gibson

PS: Just to let you know, I am currently in contact with several Scientology lawyers who wish to sue me, claiming I have violated numerous copyright laws. Don't worry though because it's all just a huge scare tactic. In the meantime, the wootboot xenu site will be down until the conflict is resovled. Look for a post chronicling the whole chebang soon....

Bush: "Get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit"

2006-07-17T11:45:00.000-04:00

Big crisis in the middle east - Hezbollah has woken a sleeping giant by firing multiple missles and rockets into Israeli towns with Israel responding by bombing Beirut and its international airport, as well as shelling southern Lebanon. Syria, supporter of Hezbollah and eastern neighbor of Lebanon, has warned that they will get involved if Israel increases its attacks. Basically, the shit is hitting the fan - and everyone is holding their breath and hoping it doesn't end up in their face. This situation could easily escalate, with Israel sending in ground troops. Syria could get involved and spread the conflict, causing Iran to come to the aid of Damascus. If Iran decides to play ball, the US will not hesitate to come to Israels aid.

It's a very tense situtation - one that requires quick, informal talk to get down to the point. And thats just what happened earlier today when Bush and Blair were speaking privately. A nearby mic picked up their conversation - you can read the transcript here. Basically, Bush and Blair are not liking Kofi Annan's (UN secretary general) approach and are willing to send Condi to help bring peace. Bush offers his point of view very concisely - "get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit." True dat dubya, true dat....

So here's the deal - this could very easily turn into a global conflict centered around Israel and its numerous enemies. If the war carries to Iran, North Korea will surely be tempted to get invovled, as will China. Keep your eyes and ears on the news, because this could get ugly....

bohica,
Ian M. Gibson

Think About It.....

2006-07-13T23:10:00.000-04:00

I am absolutely disgusted with the current state of mankind. We put a man on the moon nearly fifty years ago and we still can’t get over basic land disputes. Men are killed every day because of aristocrats with a thirst for more power and money. What the future holds is up to the current generation, and it doesn’t look good.
There is no hope for the common man – a large portion of humanity is destined to be grunts, forever sent to complete the smallest of jobs. “No, it’s different in our great democracy,” you argue, but it is not. Look around and you will see the corporate machine, always influencing the consumer with cheesy gimmicks only to hand them an awful product and yet they come back for more. Media is rarely fair and balanced. Major news networks sell themselves to the wealthiest candidate, ready to throw all their resources behind one cause or person. The common mind is too gullible, too easy to control. Tell them a lie and they will believe – only because they want to believe. Religion serves as mind control for the masses. Be it crusade, jihad, or inquisition, an army will assemble if you call it the will of god. Speeches and commercials are dumbed-down so even the dullest can be swayed. Millions are spent on political campaigns even though voter turnout is decreasing. Apathy is hip, cool, good to go – today’s youth would rather do barely enough to get by than becoming the best in their field.
Intelligence, passion, and commitment can only be found in the few at the top of their class. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the future lies in the hands of the few who rise to control it. But even potential is not enough for most, as society twists and torments them into the mold of stupidity.
How do we fix this? I have no fucking idea…
Why the long speech, criticizing the essence of civilization as we know it? Because I’m pissed, that’s why.

I’ll have another post this weekend about the current situation in the middle east, and more posts after that featuring Iran, violent video games, and a philosophical moment not dissimilar from today’s.

Post Updates and Counter-Protest

2006-06-28T23:18:00.000-04:00

So i was going to do a huge article on how fucking stupid congress is when it comes to video games and mainstream culture, but I'm still writing it. I know how antsy you junkies can get when you don't get your thinkgibson fix, so here's a quickie full of updates on previous posts as well as a juicy opportunity to fuck over Sheehan.

USMC in Hot Water
The latest news on our politacally-incorrect GI is that he intended the anti-islamic song to be a joke (no duh) and didn't realize how popular/viral it had become. He will not face official disciplinary action but will receive "counseling" - more like "Woohoo buddy, that sure was funny!" (and that stupid joke was not...)

Clash Between Civilazation and Backwardness
Some dipshit hippie decided to annonymously (pussy) post a comment about this woman's amazing words. "No" was all that hippie said. If you can't realize the intelligence and experience of this woman, then you need to pull your head out of your ass and get a fucking life. 'nuff said...

Besides being invited a church youth group and finally getting a job (target - where else would i work?), my summer has been pretty boring so far. CLOUDS PART - SUN SHINES ON ME - HOLY MUSIC - and then I saw this little tid bit.

CINDY SHEEHAN, that liberal mommy press whore, will be FASTING FOR TWO MONTHS to "help bring the troops home". Dumbass - but the fucking awesome news is that she'll start her two-month starvation july 4th in Washington, DC at a huge anti-war rally. Guess wut - IM CRASHING THAT SHIT! Now I don't mean i'm going to literally walk in and start punching ppl and burning shit - i am simply going to sit in a chair with the rest of the ppl and display patriotic signs and play the star spangled banner all day. Trust me, it's going to be the nicest shit ever.

I'll have the next post up soon - it'll be an in-depth look at video games and the recent bias exhibited against them.

Secret Scientology Documents - Expose the truth!

2006-06-29T10:41:00.000-04:00

With recent criticisms of the Church of Scientology, I decided to look into what the religious group actually believes. OMFG (gamer's prayer) - these people are crazy! For a great look at what they worship and how they operate, check out this site. It just came up about a week ago and already has thousands of hits and dedicated fans. Hosted are numerous secret scientology documents as well as links to other anti-scientology sites. Spread the truth!

A Marine in Iraq entertaining troops with his racist but hilarious song routine is in trouble due to widespread release of a video of his performance. I personally think it is hilarious and even though it is just a joke he probably should be punished - after all, he is representing the marine corps and even the entire US and is presenting a strong anti-islamic image. Here's the vid - it's very funny.

National "Fuck Atheists" Day

2006-05-06T22:39:00.000-04:00

Thursday, May 4th, was National Day of Prayer. Thanks Reagan for another flagrant breech of seperation of church and state. To show my dislike of the terrible holiday whilst publicly expressing my own thoughts on religion, I wore a loud and obnoxious shirt that said "Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church." The back also had a trendy slogan - "Religion is TOXIC" with a Christian cross as the T, the Star of David as the X, and the Islamic Chand Sitara as the C. Let's break this down:

Ringer Cotton Tee: $8
Print N' Press Kit: $10
Pissing off hardcore Christians on National Day of Prayer: PRICELESS

The best part of the day was pulling up in the bus in the morning and seeing two deeply pious students and a teacher praying around the flagpole. (funny how the teacher is participating in a Christian religious activity w/out a slap on the wrist but as soon as they express a belief that's different from the norm they get punished) I was wearing a jacket and planned on keeping the tee covered through homeroom as I wanted to keep a professional appearance when with the exective board. However, as soon as I saw the hands-clasped, heads-down group talking to themselves i ripped off the coat like I was fucking Superman. A few friends of mine noticed the shirt immediately and we laughed as we walked by the group - I later found out that those who were praying saw my tee and became extremely pissed off. I love the smell of chaos in the morning.... Here's some of the things ppl said to me during the day:

"Yea, I'm going to have to stab you now"
"You're an asshole"
"Never wear that shirt again"
"Your shirt is toxic!"
"You can't wear that shirt" (I replied, "Why not? You wear your Jesus gear every wednesday!"
"I really don't like his shirt" (A voice from the back of the room as I stand at the board)
"You're going to hell!" ("You can't threaten me with something I don't believe in!" I quipped)

I also got a couple "I love the shirt!" and smiling nods, but mostly I received piercing stares that made me shake and sweat like a whore in Church. I don't mean to brag but I'm pretty sure I've got the biggest balls of 'em all - I single handedly stood up to 1700+ students and most of the faculty and proudly proclaimed my beliefs instead of being pushed to the back. Overall, I got an amazing rush from the entire experience - expressing your beliefs in a loud and obnoxious way is something I highly suggest. How can you be heard if you don't speak out?

My shirt can be seen / purchased along with all my other custom political shirts here.

Freedom of Religion,

PS: For the next post i'm planning on talking about the death penalty - its been a hot topic in my household lately and i think my opinion is very unique but factually supported.

State of the Nation's Future

2006-05-02T23:08:00.000-04:00

As I sat in Business Principles and Practices today and pondered, I came upon a revelation - today's youth are fucking retards. Most of the kids in the class couldn't figure how much percentage 2,000 out of 10,000 was. I realized that with the exception of the top 10%, students are ignorant, obstinant, immature dumbasses. The sad thing is that this can also be applied to the rest of America - we truly are a nation of idiots controlled by the very few with a functioning cerebral mass.
Hamilton was right: you cannot trust the people to elect the leaders. Every election turns into a glam-slam fuckfest. Remember 2004? Purple hearts and nuke-u-lar WMDs were being tossed around while the liberal media *cough* c-bs *cough* falsified documents in hopes of gaining viewers. The future of this nation is in the hands of the intelligent. Only those with the knowledge and determination to make it to the top will truly make a difference. I have only one message for those who have the ability to influence the world - DON'T FUCK UP!

Vote for Gibson,

PS: The religious tee contest is still on - hopefully I'll have pics of the shirt and me wearing it in school on Thursday.

PPS: 2,000 is 20% of 10,000 in case you were wondering.

Preparing for Thursday

2006-04-30T22:22:00.000-04:00

I just found out that Thursday, May 4th is National Day of Prayer - that means I gotta represent! As a proud atheist, I feel it is my duty to express my personal religious beliefs on Thursday. Be it through a t-shirt, pamphlets, or other forms of propaganda, I want to spread the idea of atheism to all of those around me. There's only one problem - I can't decide on what slogans to put on my shirt. I plan to have a custom shirt to wear throughout my school on NDoP but I am unsure as to what it should say. There will be enough room for 2-3 phrases and 2 images - both front and back can be used. This is where it comes down to you: e-mail me your best Atheist phrases/slogans/pictures and the creme de la crop will be worn by me throughout the day as well as on all religious holidays for the next year. Entries so far include:

"Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church"
"Atheism: a non-prophet organization"
"Hey Jesus - don't drop that cross!"
"Silly Christians - myths are for kids!"
"Religion is TOXIC" (the T is a cross, the X is the Star of David, and the C is the Islamic crescent)

Hurry up as the contest ends Wednesday 4:00 p.m. EST!

Site Info

2006-04-27T06:33:00.000-04:00

So I started doing some site maintenance this morning and I have a couple of announcements:

1: My official email is now ian@thinkgibson.com. I have about 50 email accounts free, so if you want a limited edition Thinkgibson.com email address let me know.
2: Google Adsense has now been added to the top of the page. Hopefully as more people visit the site (about 25 per day right now) I can receive a small cash flow from the ads to pay for the site.
3: I just realized that making a numbered list for two things is really fucking retarded. And now I'm tired.

Sleepy time,
Ian M. Gibson

Back from Annapolis

2006-04-26T22:45:00.000-04:00

So I just got back yesterday from Annapolis where I attended the YMCA Maryland Youth and Government program for three days. It was a lot of fun - we had about 200 attendees that took roles as senators, delegates, and cabinet officials with our own individual bills that we presented in the actual state house. I actually was speaker pro tem for about an hour and a half on Tuesday morning - kinda cool as I sat in the big chair and banged my big gavel (:P) as I regulated parliamentary debate. Overall I was impressed: I made a lot of friends (chicabowow @ the dance) and look forward to returning next year and a possible run for Speaker of Da Hizzouse.

Now stop you're bitchin' - this ain't turning into a personal blog, it's still extremely political. My bill at the Y & G was controversial as expected; I motioned for the removal of the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. I truly believe strongly about this as it was instated in 1951 by a hardcore right-wing Christian group for the purpose of combating the Atheist Communist threat. The phrase is deeply religious and a direct violation of the 1st amendment of the United States Constitution - seperation of church and state must be obeyed. State sponsored religion is a direct violation of the rights of this nation's citizens. Sounds good, right? Turns out I got stuck in a committee with most of the Notre Dame Preporatory girls and my logical and concise arguements were no match for their fanatical religious beliefs. It is not blasphemy to remove "under God", it is simply recognizing a diverse range of religious beliefs and their right to believe what they want.

So anyways, right now I'm busy reinstalling all my programs on my PC as I just formatted it. Fucking spyware, get a life u emo hackers. I'll have another post soon - spread the word to increase readership.

Motion for adjournment,
Ian M. Gibson

PS: A friend got some pics of me leading the house so hopefully I'll have them up soon. And don't fuck your co-workers!

Iranian Nuclear Crisis

2006-04-23T08:44:00.000-04:00

Iran has recently announced it has produced it's first Uranium 235, an important element in the production of nuclear technology both for energy and tactical purposes. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly stated that the nuclear development is his country's right and has also threatened the US, Israel, and other country's in the past. Basically its a madman making an h-bomb. Maybe we should just stand by and wait until he actually has the weapon and uses it before we act. The UN is pointless once again as they have appointed Iran to the Disarmament Committee and have passed several useless resolutions asking Iran to stop. Iran is ignoring all efforts at peace talks and continuing on its course towards world war three. This is not a similar situation to Pakistan-India even though they Iran received nuclear secrets from the same source. With India and Pakistan, they each built a formidable arsenal for defensive purposes against each other. As long as no one launches first, the region is safe. With Iran, we have another Iraq - a country seeking to produce weapons of mass destruction to make good on threats against foreign nations like Israel, the US, and many others. Would you let a toddler pick a loaded weapon and really think nothing bad will happen? Think again mother fuckers 'cuz this situation is about to get out of hand.

Speaking of Iraq and Iran, I hate how people say we are spreading our troops thin and getting too many kids killed. I hate to sound non-chalant but 2600 dead over 3 years is an excellent battle loss. We took a country from its oppressive dictator, freed its people, and continue to fight Islamic extremists that threaten the stability of the region. Our military forces are superior to all other nations - taking Iran would be more difficult than Operation Iraqi Freedom but still easily do-able. I'm not saying we should storm the borders and take the entire country, we just need to forcibly disarm the nation as a last resort. And by last resort I mean a couple years down the road when Iran has a respectable arsenal and is pointing it in the direction of its neighbors after ignoring all foreign efforts for peace.

So anyways, I guess my last post really showed how controversial ThinkGibson can get. Remember, I like to take the side of what is factually and morally right - isn't mass delusion a bad thing? Speaking of that, I have a funny story. I very rarely get hit in an offensive manner. Sure I play around and punch in the arm with my friends but I was flat out back-handed the other day. By who? A Christian extremist 5 foot six 110 lb. girl. STFU - I CAN HEAR YOU LAUGHING! Seriously though, we were talking about Jesus and she wrongly stated that I thought he didn't exist. I said, "No, i believe he was a real person - I just question his divinity. In my mind, he was a cult leader...." WAP! Damn she hit pretty hard; I guess they really don't have an open mind. I have never escalated a religious debate to personal degredation or physical violence - it is always the close minded that move to strike.

Hail Xenu,
Ian M. Gibson

PS: I'll be down in Annapolis as part of youth legislative program - I new post won't be available until Tuesday.
