George, a retired attorney, is fighting us down here so he doesn't have to fight them up there.  George fears hordes of Central Americans, emboldened by the fact that global warming has increased average temperatures in Alaska by several degrees, setting sail for the newly temperate shores of Alaska.  The fact that Alaska is closer to Russia than it is to Mexico has little bearing on the perceived threat to this United State of the Bering Strait.

The chosen battlefield is NC-13, an hour's drive east of Vernon Robinson's home, not the Portage Glacier an hour's drive south of Anchorage, which has receded so much due to global warming that it can not be seen from the Visitor Center that provided views of the glacier when first built.  Perhaps the fact that Greenland's ice-sheet is melting faster may take the heat off of this week's town of the month: Anchorage, Alaska,.

Exxon Valdez, Yes, Juan Valdez, No.  George would rather have hydrocarbon slicks than Hispanics.  That is why he sent $104,500 to right-wingers in the 2006 FEC election cycle, notably Tom Tancredo, Jim "Minuteman" Gilchrist, Bob Barr's Leadership Fund, Volunteer PAC, Latino Alliance, Minuteman PAC, Katherine Harris, Randy "Minuteman" Graf, Rick Santorum, John Spencer (against Hillary Clinton) and, Vernon Robinson ($2,350).  Of the 206 contributions recorded by the FEC from George's zip code, 193 were from George.  Once again it appears that Vernon Robinson has tapped into the corroded pipeline of irrational fear.

Since Vernon Robinson sees fit to leave hateful flyers on my doorstep I started this blog feature, courtesy of Google Maps, to see where the hate money is coming from.
