I Found My Doppelganger

On Saturday last, the 5th, my birthday by the way, I came across an article on Townhall.com. The title piqued me. The clever writer, my doppelganger, penned a piece called "It's Got To Suck To Be A Climavangelist!" And my doppelganger is a witty gentleman named Doug Giles.

Giles is who I would love to be, as a writer I mean. He's a Christian, minister and writer. His mini-bio states "Giles' interests include guns, big game hunting, big game fishing, fine art, cigars and being a big pain in the butt to people who dislike God and the USA." Doesn't the "being a big pain in the butt" sound like my mini-bio? it surely does.

And Giles' writing is the deal and the reason I am comparing myself to him, or he to me, a pale facsimile of each other perhaps, but still noteworthy. For the record, Mr. Giles is a professional writer and I clearly am not nor do I fantasize myself ever being one.

But it's his style of irreverence, sarcasm, calling "them" out and calling a spade a spade that I so like. Like him, I like to "pepper up" the work I do, and his enjoyment at purposefully getting under the skin of "them" is totally awesome and Whiplashesque.

Mr. Giles' Townhall offering is replete with stick-poking at "them" with phrases like "Back to the modus operandi of the tree humpers. Here's what the greenies will do now even though they know they've been had: They'll try to kill the news, and if that doesn't work they'll attempt to kill the messenger as they plug their ears, stomp their feet, and keep believing their goofy gospel of green. They have no other recourse as they have worked too hard for this to be true."

How awesome was that paragraph? Wish I had authored it. It pokes fun in all the right places. Or how about his characterization that "Nor should you expect the lower level hairy-legged earth girl to bail out of her tree, cease to drop acid, stop wearing hemp and assimilate into reality anytime soon just because she got fish slapped with truth. These green gals will, one and all, Jim Jones this thing to the bitter end and maintain their global warming course right through the coming ice age. Hail hot mother earth." Another winner, no?

To top it all off Giles offers some of his "celebratory" machinations for all the global nonsense. He informs us he will do numerous things including "I am going to go outside by my pool and spray two full 32 oz cans of Aqua Net right at the ozone." As well he will "buy a '69 GTO with no exhaust system and let it idle for 4 hours a day in my driveway every day until Jesus returns," and "fart as much as possible."

Methinks Giles is riled up because he's "going to use all my curly cue fluorescent light bulbs for clay pigeons and not clean up the mess," and top it off with "when I go grizzly bear hunting in Alaska this spring I am going to add a polar bear to my license and take one of those as well."

Do I love this guy or what? He tweaks "them" in all the right places. he is rather clear that he has been poked by "them" for way too long and now that the truth has been verified, ya know, the truth me and mine have screamed for years now, that he is enjoying poking "them" back as "they" so richly deserve. He does not sound all that pleased at having been lied to and having had "them" attempt to dupe us all into playing "their" game.

Giles and I both use sarcasm and ridicule to address the idiocy because to pay such foolishness any serious handling is to play "their" game. Believe me folks, "they" want to get us into a debate on the merits to lend at least the modicum of legitimacy to "their" lunacy.

If one wants a laugh, click the included link and read Mr. Giles' short and delightfully skewering treatise. Of course I will understand if the one or two of "them" who bothers to read my work refuse to click the link. Giles lays "them" bare to the bone, so I wouldn't want to read that if I were "them" either, but that is par for the course.

As evidenced by this and all "their" nonsense, "they" only bother with that which furthers or bolsters "their" agenda. Anything that questions or totally and factually refutes "their" claims is ignored as if it never existed. And these are the people who tell me and mine we are closed-minded troglodytes in need of being "dragged kicking and screaming" to "their" reality. As if! It is "they" who need to be "dragged kicking and screaming" to the FACTUAL reality.

And Giles, minister or not, needs to quit copying MY writing style. That is pure unadulterated Whiplash Baby!
