an old fashioned preacher man
I thought about Ordell Robbie today. Ordell was a character in the movie Jackie Brown, played by Samuel L. Jackson. He and his friend Louis, played by Robert DiNiro, were watching Chicks Who Love Guns, and Ordell was describing the weaponry. When the girl in the red, white and blue bikini began discharging the Tec-9, Ordell lamented the decline of our civilization.
“This gun is advertised as the most popular gun in American crime,” says Ordell. “Do you believe that shit? It actually says that in the little book that comes with it: the most popular gun in American crime. Like they’re actually proud of that shit!”
The reason I was thinking about Ordell was I was starting to sound like him.
I read that a pastor in Oregon is calling for a boycott of Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Nike and some other large corporations. It turns out his beef is that they all have signed a letter supporting adding the two words “sexual orientation” to an anti-discrimination bill. Now I guess it’s his right to be pissed off. After all, the man is purportedly a Christian, and a member of the religious establishment. Because of that, I guess he figures that he has to carry on the Christian tradition of being backward and resisting any progressive thought. In following in the footsteps of those religious people before him who nailed Christ to a cross and slaughtered millions, it is his innate responsibility. However, this preying minister had to open his Goddamned mouth and the following came out.
"This is not a threat, this is a promise. Check out the past presidential election. We made the moral issue the number one issue," he was quoted as saying.
That was when I started thinking like Ordell Robbie.
Do you believe that shit? He cited the last presidential election like he was proud of what he did. The motherfucker acts like he is proud that he ignored the truth, just to put a man in office who hates niggers and queers. He was happy to help put a man in office who, like him, hates some of his fellow countrymen, even as the President he elected pisses on the American flag and wipes his ass on the constitution. He was happy to put a man in office who is going to spy on his own people, just on the off chance he might get the opportunity to lynch a queer.
He was happy to put a man in office who was so asleep at the wheel that his Arab buddies were able to sweep in and put a couple of planes into the eastern liberal establishment while he wasn’t looking.
Not only is this pastor proud of what he did, he is bragging about it. And, he’s ready to do it again. Do you believe that shit?
Ordell Robbie may have been a killer and a gunrunner, but at least he had the morality to be outraged and offended when he saw something that was really repugnant. And as Ordell said, “This is some real repugnant shit.”
And I can’t disagree.
Or my name isn’t Dick Clinch.
