c4k Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I just wanted to spread the word about a group that has formed to motivate political action in the climbing community. We are called Climbers4Kerry, (guess who we support), and we have a website that talks about John Kerry's positions on issues that affect climbers. We also have testimonials from climbers about why this presidential election is so important to them. Check it out! http://www.Climbers4Kerry.com Quote
slothrop Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Climbers support Kerry, who wants to defeat Bush, which is treason and thus provides aid and comfort to the enemy. Therefore, climbers are killing our soldiers. QED. This logic stuff is cool! I think I can prove that everyone is killing our soldiers. Except Reagan. Quote

slothrop Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Ooh, bad Christian man bolted Denali. Is it legal to do this? http://www.climbingforchrist.org/Default.aspx?tabid=191 Quote
ryland_moore Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I saw a bumper sticker for this group at the White River TH this weekend. Kinda wondered what this group was about... Quote
Dru Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 the group used to be called "Solid Rock Climbers For Christ". i guess that means choss-rock climbers, like those tuff-pullers from Oregon or basalt rubbleeers from Vantage, are for Satan. CAN YOU SAY SATAN? SATAN! Quote

CAN YOU SAY SATAN? SATAN! The negative response to anything religious on this site is very predictable. Thanks, Tomtom, for having the strength to offer your site-link at a place where it is subject to immediate ridicule and mockery by various members of the climbing "community". Hang tough; it's a rough crowd out there! Shalom! P.S. For a lively sample of what you might get into, check out the "Baby Jesus" fiasco of last year: Climbers4Ridiculing Christianity Quote
cracked Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Ahh, nothing like religion and/or bolts to get Dwayner's panties in a bunch! Quote
assmonkey Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I saw a bumper sticker for Climbers 4 Kerry this morning. I think that's total bullshit. Keep your fucking politics out of my passions. Kerry is a douchebag, Bush is a douchebag, American politics sucks. I don't want to be affiliated with any political group by virtue of how I choose to spend my free time. I feel the same way about the Christian organization for the same reasons (although those religious bastards can be downright virulent with their spray; we have a black sheep minister in our family and we have to constantly tell him to shut his piehole at family gatherings.) I support climbing organizations, and their agendas (AF ), but this crap is just going too far. - a s s m n k e y Quote
dberdinka Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Ooh, bad Christian man bolted Denali. Is it legal to do this? http://www.climbingforchrist.org/Default.aspx?tabid=191 ALASKA (May 19, 2004) – Gilbert Mille, a Climbing For Christ member from Neerpelt, Belgium, has reached the summit of 20,320-foot Denali (Mount McKinley) and left one of his beautiful plaques to witness to others. Gilbert’s wife, Huguette, received a phone call from him on Friday, May 18, confirming this news. Un-Freaking-Real! Quote
Ratboy Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 There's a good way to get the public on your side, push religion on them. I wonder if he had permission from the Park Service to do that. Quote
rbw1966 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Friggin beautiful. Obviously that plaque is not on the summit of denali though. Quote
specialed Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 christianclimbers.com says they are a "climbing organization determined to get you to high places," which is cool cause I'm determined to get high in places too. Quote

jon Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I didn't see any testimonials. You have to look a little harder. "Go to the crag, put on your shoes and your Prana hat, and send that mother fucker!!!" -God Man, God really has a foul mouth!! Quote
MervGriffin Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 The message don't bother me, but there be enough stuff bolted to the rocks already. Quote

We also have testimonials from climbers about why this presidential election is so important to them. Check it out! http://www.Climbers4Kerry.com The most important issues for Climbers is access. It matters not what Kerry's positions are , he has the Dark Greens imbedded in his campaign organization, and these people will be appointed to positions of POWER. Kerry was abscent from the Senate 87% of the time, don't expect him to supervise these radicals. They hold as a basic and non-negotiable position that the word "untrammeled", as it appears in the Wilderness Act, means NO PEOPLE ! You can study their plans to restore 40% of the USA to "untrammeled" Wilderness here: http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/special_issues/wildlands_project_step_by_step.htm The plans for people include forcing them increasingly into urban settings, surrounded by wildlife which will be free to view the humanoids in their cage !! This plan is advancing faster than it's promoters expected, and preventing the repair of roads is a key element. The advocates of Wild Sky, for example, are extoling the preservation of public access. After they get the Wilderness designation, it becomes and excuse to close the area. Some of the same groups that advocate Wild Sky, are using the Buckhorn and Brothers Wilderness as an excuse to keep the Dosewallips Rd closed ! Quote
c4k Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 Have you checked out the Bush administration's environmental or public land management policies? http://www.americanprogress.org/site/apps/custom/cap/findorg.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=45294 Quote
