The White Male Oppressor Speaks

Okay so now I am truly confused, hasn’t it been the environmental activist groups that have been pushing for renewable energy? As it seems to be turning out they do want renewable energy unless you actually have to build anything to accomplish it. Perhaps I should explain.

There has been a pissing contest going on now since the beginning of 2009 between a large energy corporation (OK everyone collectively hiss) named Tessera Solar, which has made plans to pup 34,000 solar collectors, each of which is 40 ft high and 38 feet wide on a whopping 8,230 acres of the Mojave Desert in Southern California and would produce 850 megawatts of electricity for Southern California Edison.

What could possibly be the problem with this you might ask? I mean for one it’s in the middle of one of the most desolate deserts in America and not a lot of people live there. The problem is right at your feet, the Mojave fringe-toed lizard and Nelson’s bighorn sheep. Apparently these mirrors would encroach on their habitat and that is just not OK.

While environmental groups are whining for more renewable energy sources they are seeming to be quite unwilling to let any of them be built. One of the Seirra Club’s mouth pieces Terry Frewin had the following to say, “Deserts don’t need to be sacrificed so that people in L.A. can keep heating their swimming pools.” That’s a good point because everyone in L.A. has a swimming pool right? Those that do don’t need to heat them year round – have you ever been to L.A. in the summer it’s freaking hot.

So we can’t put solar collectors in the middle of a desert because of some lizards and some sheep. Why? Are they afraid that then those animals will get to much shade? From reading the Seirra Clubs website you would think that they would stand behind renewable energy and I quote from their “our program” section, on that page they clearly state: “Repowering America with green, renewable energy: Wind, solar, and other safe, clean sources of power that will energize a new American century.”

Dear blowhards if you can’t put solar mirrors in the middle of a barren desert where can you put them? They claim that they want California to use more renewable energy being as currently the state gets 51.8% of its electricity from fossil fuel sources, 18.6% from nuclear and a whopping 29.6% from renewable sources which includes 16.8% percent of that from hydroelectric which they also bitch about because they don’t like dams.

But the Sierra club isn’t the only one fighting renewable energy we also have the Natural Resources Defense Council. Ms. Johanna Wald who is an attorney and longtime eco-warrior with the NRDC said, “We have to accept our responsibility that something that we have been advocating for decades is about to happen,” She also exclaimed, “My job is to make sure that it happens in an environmentally responsible way.” Excuse me lady but it’s the middle of the desert and it’s not like they want to dump nuclear waste there. It’s mirrors for god sake maybe the sheep will want to primp.

Even one of our inept public officials Diane Feinstein (D) California is up on her high horse on this one, she in her wisdom (And I use wisdom very lightly) introduced the California Desert Protection Act of 2010 which among other things creates two new national monuments. Apparently barren wasteland is now considered a monument to these jokers but I digress.

Kim Delfino director of Defender of Wildlife’s California program had this to say about the bill, “This bill provides a good start at addressing some of the difficult issues surrounding the siting and permitting of renewable energy projects, timely processing of applications and coordination between federal agencies and states in wildlife matters,” Delfino said. “But we do have some concerns over the creation of mitigation zones on public lands to offset potentially damaging development on private lands. With the inevitable impacts from global warming on the desert, it is imperative that we protect the right areas for wildlife to live in the future.” I like her statement about the “inevitable impact of global warming on the deserts.” It’s a damn desert which means its already hot as hell and she also complains about the impact on “impoverished species” which are named above.

This is absolutely absurd. Either have renewable energy or don’t but make up your mind. These people hold protests and action committees to get this crap done and then when it is they start screaming about where. Kind of like Ted Kennedy who was a major supporter of clean energy but when they wanted to put a wind farm in the ocean he and his uppity rich neighbors pulled the “it might hurt our view” card. So as long as no one can see it or we don’t have to build anything then its okay. These are the same people that bitched about station wagons and full sized vans which led to the creation of the SUV and now they complain about that. These are the exact people I mean when I say professional victim because no matter how hard people try it is never good enough!

Simply put, political correctness means that you are always expected to apologize for what you say and  is a way for oversensitive professional victims to try to dictate what everyone else can and can not do based upon the professional victims feelings, i.e. Butt Hurt whiners.  Yes it can. But how can political correctness be funny you might ask? The answer to that is quite simple by refusing to be politically correct you can make large numbers of victims so angry that they will not know what to do with themselves except try to get the ACLU involved.

But if I was to leave it at that explanation it would make for not only a short but also boring post so I will elaborate a bit on the professional victim and ways to get past their infuriating rhetoric and have a good time in the process with the side benefit of making them beat red with anger. So lets start shall we? First…

The professional victim and its sub species (dun dun dun)

Have you ever just been talking to someone in a one on one conversation and legitimately referred to someone as retarded? Then from out of nowhere almost like an annoying superhero an overly helpful person shows their displeasure with your conversation that they are not a part of with something like. “You know it is not okay to say someone is retarded, that is offensive.” Then imagining that they are being helpful tell you that the correct term is developmentally disabled. Well my friend you have just met a professional victim. Other ways to know if you have run into this politically correct species of human is if you are buying cigarettes and the helpful person selling them to you informs you that they will kill you, like that is information you were not aware of. However there are some definable sub species to the professional victim, some are easy to spot and avoid while others blend into the fabric of society with well developed camouflage to better infect society with its destructive politically correct ways. Some of these sub-species are:

The Hippie

The hippie is probably one of the easiest to spot of the victim subset not only are there visual warnings that one is around but often auditory and odor warnings are found in the general vicinity of these creatures. Some of the warning signs include an odor that seems to be a mixture of patchouli and feet. Because hippies have a belief that dowsing themselves with patchouli is just as good as a shower. Also if you are in a park and hear the rhythmic sound of a slowly beaten drum be on the lookout there may be a drum circle nearby which usually has 3 to 6 hippies gathered together. The visual cues that you may be coming up on a hippie are tie-dye shirt headband and long hair and beard, a general unkempt appearance or a tee shirt with some blatantly communist or anti government slogan on it such as a shirt of Che Guevara. Watch these, hippies can be very dangerous. They are generally undereducated and don’t have jobs so they can pop up at anytime to try to tell you how “the man” is keeping them down.

How to combat the hippie. There are some safety devices that you may consider to ward off this threat: first carry a travel stick of deodorant with you – as one approaches take off the cap and point it at them, they are afraid of good hygiene so this may confuse them be careful with this tactic though it may anger them and then they might try to have a music festival. Many a town has been decimated by a hippie fest. If they get close to you, one of your best bets for scaring them away is to offer them a job. The hippie is allergic to work so this ploy may frighten them off. What ever tactics you take be careful they are dangerous and idealistic.

The Feminist

This victim sub-species can be far more militant than its hippie cousin this sub-species has two main forms the feminist and the feminazi. The feminist is by far the hardest to spot because she blends in to her surroundings quite well and only attacks when there is a perceived threat to her feminine superiority complex like a man holding the door open for her or a woman who looks better in a bathing suit than she does. You need to be very careful of the feminist because she is known for claiming sexual harassment if you compliment her on the way she looks or claim sexism if a man gets any recognition for anything. The easier to spot and more dangerous of the feminist sub-species is the Feminazi. The feminazi is easier to spot than the feminist because of the general outward appearance. This can include but is not limited to camo, combat boots, and overly butch appearance. Be wary, if you come into contact with either of these types of feminists there is no known effective defense against them. So if you are unlucky enough to come across this type of victim have courage and stand your ground they will generally go away on their own without to much of an incident.

The Poverty Pimp

This is a very easily recognizable group. Two prime examples of this sub-species is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. The poverty pimp is generally a member of an imagined under-represented minority group who tries to incite social discontentment by exploiting the poor or specific minority groups for their own personal gain. This kind of Professional victim is quite dangerous because they are generally well funded by liberal organizations as well as very charismatic so they are able to get the easily led – to follow them and believe their lies. Some of the more notable tactics of the poverty pimp is creating imaginary instances of racism to cover up their blatant separatist attitudes and racism. “”WARNING”" do not approach and or speak to this species under any circumstance or you risk law suits, inflammatory lies and character assassination.

Now that we have discussed some of the sub-species of the professional victim and purveyors of the disease of political correctness only one question remains: how can we annoy them for our amusement without getting called a racist or being sued? Here is one suggestion for those looking to combat the forces of speech codes and social restraints. Find a good politically correct protest and hold your own protest. Not a traditional protest but rather protest protesting. Get a group of friends together and carry white placards with the word protest on it with a circle and slash chanting “we’re not going to protest.” By doing this you will draw attention away from their whining and aggravate the hell out of them without being insulting or infringing on their right to free assembly. Remember no matter what they say the constitution works both ways.

I hope you found this post enjoyable and informative and remember my friends COURAGE…

For you my dear reader The White Male Oppressor is starting a reading list page of recommended books. I will be posting reviews of each book. I am doing this so no one will miss one of the gripping stories that I will be reviewing.

For the first in what will be The Oppressor Reading List comes a gripping story for the young and old alike, a book by Taro Gomi titled “Everyone Poops.” This heart warming story about animals and humans alike explains in terms that anybody can understand that it is perfectly natural and normal to poop because it is something that everybody does. This fabulous book uses a well used mixture of pictures, humor and fecal matter to allay any fears that those who are potty training may be experiencing about their bodily functions.

One such humorous and well stated point jovially states on pages three and four where there is a picture of a one hump and a two hump camel, “A one hump camel makes a one hump poop and a two hump camel makes a two hump poop.” After which it says “Just kidding.” This was a great use of misdirection and humor on the part of the author. She started with the obvious of a single poop and then used some good humor for the two hump poop and just when you started to believe it the just kidding curve ball was thrown.

The book goes on to explain the different ways in which different creatures poop. How some just poop anywhere without a care and others clean up or bury their poop. It further explains for the benefit of all that adults poop and children poop and points out that some people poop in a potty and others poop in a diaper.

Overall it was a gripping read with interesting plot twists and a wonderful use of humor. I would recommend Taro Gomi’s Everyone Poops whether for a child or just a relaxed afternoon read.
