little liberal god

                                  I WOULD LIKE TO THANK NOLS FOR INSPIRING ME TO START THIS WEB SITE AND BLOG.

            NATIONAL OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP SCHOOL IS LOCATED IN LANDER ,WYOMING (AREA 52). NOLS  WAS FOUNDED BY PAUL PETZOLDT. 
             FOR YEARS I HAVE WATCHED AS THE LIBERALS TOOK WYOMING'S  WOOL CHECKS AND BOUGHT WOLVES WITH THE MONEY. I WATCHED AS THE LIBERALS PUSHED FOR HIGHER GRAZING FEES ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS PUBLIC LAND. I WATCHED PAUL PETZOLDT LOSE HIS SCHOOL AND HEARD HIM SAY AT HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY IN IDAHO,"I FORGIVE ALL YOU SONSABITCHES". I WATCHED THE FIRES OF YELLOWSTONE. I WATCHED THE ENLIGHTENED RIDE BY ME ON THEIR MOUNTAIN BIKES, ALL DECKED OUT IN PATAGONIA WARDROBES (NEITHER OF WHICH ARE BIODEGRADABLE).
            I LISTENED. SOME NOLS STUDENTS STOPPED ME WHEN I WAS  HORSE BACK  AT PHELPS DODGE BRIDGE ON THE SWEETWATER RIVER, SOUTH OF ATLANTIC CITY, WYO.  THEY STOPPED ME TO TELL ME THAT LIVESTOCK WAS RUINING THE RED DESERT. I WAS LECTURED TO FOR QUITE AWHILE. I THEN INFORMED THEM THAT THEY HAD LEFT THEIR CAR IDLING DURING THE LECTURE AND THAT THEY HAD POLLUTED MORE AIR ON THE RED DESERT THAN MY HORSE OR I HAD POLLUTED IN 6 MONTHS; NEEDLESS TO SAY THE LECTURE ENDED.
            I WATCHED AND WAITED, HOPING THAT SOMETHING GOOD WOULD COME OUT OF THE CHILDREN OF THE COUNTER CULTURE. THAT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE THE "OLD ONES" HAD GOTTEN IT WRONG. THAT WE COULD DO ALL THE THINGS THEY SAID  WE SHOULDN'T . THAT WE WERE ABOVE ALL THE TROUBLES THAT THEY SAID WOULD BEFALL US IF WE WENT DOWN THOSE  DARK ROADS. WELL, THAT WAS DELUSION. EVERYTHING THEY SAID WOULD HAPPEN HAS HAPPENED AND WORSE; AIDS.
             THOSE DARK ROADS DIDN'T LOOK SO DARK IN 1968. NOW HERE WE ARE IN 2009, AND THE LIBERALS HAVE BROUGHT THE WOLVES BACK. SUDDENLY WE'RE BACK IN THE 1930'S, WHEN THE LAST NATIVE WOLF WAS KILLED IN SOUTH DAKOTA, AND WOLVES BECAME EXTINCT IN THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE GONE BACK IN TIME.
             MY WIFE SUBSCRIBED TO  LANDER TALK, WHICH IS A MESSAGE POST  OPERATED BY NOLS.  I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. I WOULD OCCASIONALLY OPEN A POST TO SEE IF WHAT SOMEONE WAS SELLING WAS A BARGAIN.               
             ONE DAY I SAW THAT SOMEONE ON LANDER TALK  WAS BLAMING HOMOSEXUALS FOR ALL THE TROUBLES IN THE WORLD. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY LIFE WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
              I BECAME PROACTIVE. I POSTED  MY DISAGREEMENT WITH THAT PREMISE, STATING THAT AFFLUENCE IS IN FACT THE CULPRIT, AND THAT HOMOSEXUALITY  IS SIMPLY A BI-PRODUCT OF AN AFFLUENT SOCIETY. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME POSTING ANYTHING ON LANDER TALK. IT FELT GOOD. I WAS  IMMEDIATELY UN SUBBED.
               SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WAS OFFENDED BY WHAT I HAD SAID, PUSHED A BUTTON, AND I WAS GONE. I HAD BEEN ELECTRONICALLY ASSASSINATED. SOMEONE INSIDE OF NOLS FELT THAT THEY HAD A RIGHT TO DO THIS TO SOMEONE THAT THEY DIDN'T AGREE WITH .THERE WAS a liberal HIDING IN THE BOWELS OF NOLS WHO WAS SORELY IN NEED OF AN EDUCATION.
              AS A RULE I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO AT LEAST LISTEN TO LIBERALS. I'VE ALWAYS HOPED THAT ONE OF THEM WOULD SAY SOMETHING PROFOUND. UNFORTUNATELY I'M STILL WAITING. IN MY OPINION THE ONLY GOOD THING LIBERALS EVER DID WAS STOP THE VIETNAM WAR, AND  IT HAS BEEN DOWN HILL EVER SINCE.
                I REREAD MY E-MAIL SEVERAL TIMES, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY A LIBERAL WOULD BE SO OFFENDED. I EVEN ENTERTAINED THE NOTION THAT THERE WAS A CONSERVATIVE IN NOLS THAT WAS OFFENDED, BUT THERE WAS NO WAY A CONSERVATIVE WOULD DISAGREE WITH WHAT I HAD SAID.  SO I WAS FACED WITH THE AWFUL TRUTH: I WAS DEALING WITH  A "little liberal wannabe god".              
                MY ATTEMPTS AT RE-SUBSCRIBING WERE THWARTED; ALL TWELVE TIMES. THIS IS WHEN  I REALIZED THAT I WAS BEING SUBJECTED TO LIBERAL INTIMIDATION, AND THAT MY RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH WAS BEING INFRINGED UPON. I CONTACTED NOLS AND TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO COME IN AND VISIT WITH THEM ABOUT THIS "FREE SPEECH" ISSUE. THEY WERE RELUCTANT AT FIRST. THEY WANTED TO HANDLE IT ALL BY E-MAIL. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT  FREE SPEECH AND THAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS IT IN PERSON. THERE IS A DISCLAIMER ON ALL OF NOLS POSTINGS THAT STATES "WE BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH". SO THE STAGE WAS SET.
             I ARRIVED AT THE NOLS BUILDING AND WAS ASKED TO WAIT IN THE LOBBY. I WAITED FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS TACTIC IS USED A LOT OF TIMES ON PURPOSE. IT IS A FORM OF INTIMIDATION BUT IT DIDN'T WORK .
             FINALLY A STONED FACED YOUNG MAN WAS SENT DOWN, ALONE. I EXPLAINED WHY I WAS THERE AND SHOWED HIM THE DISCLAIMERS AND POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A  VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT THEY COULD END UP ON THE WRONG END OF A FREE SPEECH ISSUE.
              AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, AN OLDER FELLOW SHOWED UP. THIS IS ALSO IS A FORM OF INTIMIDATION. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO HIM AND HOW, WHOEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE WAS IN THE BUILDING, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MEET THAT PERSON. THEY WERE MYSTIFIED AS TO WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING, BUT DID AGREE THAT THEY COULD GET INTO TROUBLE OVER WHAT SOMEONE, WHO WASN'T THERE, HAD BEEN DOING TO ME.
             THAT  VERY DAY I GOT MY SUBSCRIPTION BACK TO LANDER TALK  AND I HAVE NOT BEEN UN SUBBED SINCE. WHAT DID CHANGE WAS NOLS GOT RID OF THEIR MESSAGE POST ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, CITING CONCERNS OVER LIABILITY AS IT WOULD PERTAIN TO FREE SPEECH AND TIME CONSTRAINTS. LIBERALS HATE FREE SPEECH BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE.
               WHEN I LEFT NOLS THAT MORNING, THE OLDER FELLOW, WHO I BELIEVE WAS NAMED PAUL, SAID "LET'S ALL TRY TO BE NICE." 
               I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE. THAT "little liberal wannabe god" WASN'T NICE, SO THEY TOOK IT'S BUTTON AWAY.
 
              A SPECIAL THANKS TO THAT "little liberal wannabe god". WHEN YOU PUSHED THAT BUTTON, YOU CREATED FREECOYOTE .COM. 
                                                   
                                              "YOU CAN EXTINCT A WOLF BUT YOU CAN'T EXTINCT A COYOTE"!!!!
