“Go home, get online and find out the facts about climate change. And then the next time you hear some crap on talk radio or Fox News, you’ll know the truth. Don’t get your science from demagogues. Get your science from scientists.”

Does James Cameron mean we should get our science from … these scientists?

See, if I’m going to get my Global Warming science from anyone it’s going to be a troop-smearing, anti-Christian, chicken little, environmental hypocrite of epic proportions, cuz that’s how I roll.

But first…

Robert Redford Hypocrite, a short film produced and directed by Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, exposes Robert “Sundance” Redford’s environmentalism as little more than a tap dance, perhaps designed to endear himself to wealthy Hollywood liberals, especially ones who might buy one of his exclusive $2 million dollar lots for a luxury vacation home near his Colorado Utah ski resort. Unfortunately, genuine environmentalists should probably not apply. That might run down the market price, making it harder for Redford to cash in.

In Hypocrite, it’s the development of eco-friendly housing near Redford’s Napa Valley vineyard that has him removing the welcome mat for genuine environmentalists. Contrary to his now long-in-the-tooth image as the Sundance Kid,when Redford’s financial interests are threatened by genuine environmental projects, he looks to be more Butch NIMBY*, than Butch Cassidy.

Redford is one of the main opponents of a plan by the Pacific Union College to build an eco-village in Angwin California. The college says it needs the funds because of a dire financial situation. The village is close to Redford’s vineyard in the Napa Valley. However whilst publicly opposing this development “to preserve the rural heritage” Redford has been quietly selling development lots in the Sundance Preserve for $2 million. These lots are intended for vacation homes close to Redford’s Sundance Ski Resort.

The double standard is revealed in a short film Robert Redford Hypocrite which has just been released.

I guess as a youngster she was busy designing wacky, risque outfits when she should have been learning the definitions of words, but Madonna — the famed “Material Girl” — uttered a whopper recently misusing the word “irony” when she should have been using the word “hypocrite”… as in what she is.

Of course the first thought that anyone has of pop singer Madonna is sex, sex, sex. She has made her entire career on selling her sexuality. From the days of 1983’s hit “Holiday,” to photo spreads in Playboy and Penthouse, to crawling on stage like a cat in heat, to girl-on-girl kisses, and raunchy videos throughout, Madonna has made her bucks with her body with as much skin showing as possible at all times even today in her 50s.

But, suddenly mother Madonna is hopeful that her own 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes, will “dress more conservatively.” Sex is bad all of a sudden when Madonna is talking about her own child. (more…)

If you just got nailed for doing something stupid or immoral, just find out how your accuser also did something stupid or immoral and you’re off the hook! It doesn’t even have to be for the same indiscretion, just throw everything you’ve got at em’ and hope something sticks. If they did something wrong, then they’re a hypocrite! Hypocrite! Hypocrite!

This is a common tactic I see in modern debate, and it’s closely related to the “who are you to judge” fallout from our post-modern generation. The implication is that if you look for a fault and find it, we collectively lose the ability to call it wrong if we also practice it. If I claim your candidate is a liar, you just Google a quote where my candidate told a lie and suddenly telling a lie is off the table. Stupid, I know. But that’s where we’re at. (more…)
