Jesus Hated Bald Pussy
By Hunter S. Thompson
From "Kingdom Of Fear "
2003

Let's face it, the yo-yo president of the U.S.A. knows nothing. He is a dunce. He does what he is told to do, says what he is told to say, poses the way he is told to pose. He is a fool.

No. Nonsense. The president cannot be a Fool. Not at this moment in time, when the last living vestiges of the American Dream are on the line. This is not the time to have a bogus rich kid in charge of the White House.

Which is, after all, our house. That is our headquarters, it is where the heart of America lives. So if the president lies and acts giddy about other people's lives, if he wantonly and stupidly endorses mass murder by definition, a loud and meaningless animal with no functional intelligence and no balls.

To say this goofy child president is looking more and more like Richard Nixon in the summer of 1974 would be a flagrant insult to Nixon.

Whoops! Did I say that? Is it even vaguely possible that some New Age Republican whore-beast of a false president could actually make Richard Nixon look like a Liberal?

The capacity of these vicious assholes we elected to be in charge of our lives for four years to commit terminal damage to our lives and our souls and our loved ones is far beyond Nixon's. Shit! Nixon was the creator of many of the once-proud historical landmarks that these dumb bastards are savagely destroying now: the Clean Air Act of 1970; Campaign Finance Reform; the endangered species act; a Real-Politik dialogue with China; and on and on.

The prevailing quality of life in America-by any accepted methods of measuring-was inarguably freer and more politically open under Nixon than it is today in this evil year of our Lord 2002.

The Boss was a certified monster who deserved to be impeached and banished. He was a truthless creature of former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, a foul human monument to corruption and depravity on a scale that dwarfs any other public official in American history. But Nixon was at least smart enough to understand why so many honorable patriotic U.S. citizens despised him. He was a Liar. The truth was not in him.

Nixon believed, as he said many times, that if the president of the United States does it, it can't be illegal. But Nixon never understood the much higher and meaner truth of Bob Dylan's warning that "To live outside the law you must be honest."

The difference between an outlaw and a war criminal is the difference between a pedophile and a Pederast: The pedophile is a person who thinks about sexual behavior with children, and the Pederast does these things. He lays hands on innocent children, he penetrates them and changes their lives forever.

Being the object of a pedophile's warped affections is a Routine feature of growing up in America, and being a victim of a Pederast's crazed "love" is part of dying. Innocence is no longer an option. Once penetrated, the child becomes a Queer in his own mind, and that is not much different than murder.

Richard Nixon crossed the line when he began murdering foreigners in the name of "family values"- and George Bush crossed it when he sneaked into office and began killing brown skinned children in the name of Jesus and the American people.

When Muhammad Ali declined to be drafted and forced to kill "gooks" in Vietnam he said, "I ain't got nothin' against them Viet Cong. No Cong ever called me Nigger."
I agreed with him, according to my own personal ethics and values. He was right.

If we all had a dash of Muhammad Ali's eloquent courage, this country and the world would be a better place today because of it. Okay. That's it for now. Read it and weep....See you tomorrow, folks. You haven't heard the last of me. I am the one who speaks for the spitit of freedom and decency in you. Shit. Somebody has to do it.
We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world-a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us... No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you.

Well, shit on that dumbness. George W. Bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my friends or the people I respect in this world. We didn't vote for these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for America today- and we will not vote for them again in 2002. Or 2004. Or ever.

Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill "gooks". They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are racists and hate mongers among us-they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.

I was just reading an article in todays London Free Press about him and it said one time he shot one of his books with a gun 3 times gave it to someone and said: "here's your autographed copy".....hilarious!! What a sad end, to kill oneself, because of all the pain, maybe he is better off. Reminds me of a friend of mine, his dad had a terrible brain cancer and was in tons of pain most of his adult life and took many pills to no avail and when he finally died two years ago, sadly it was probably the best thing that could of happened to him. I dont know if I could shoot myself even if I was in a lot of pain, no I dont think I could, would anyone?

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

The "right to die" is an issue that has suddenly been thrust to the fore what with that fellow killing himself and being very public with the fact that he was going to. Call me old fashioned but I believe that life is sacred - even a life in agonizing, relentless pain. I watched my grandmother die in this fashion. I believe that palliative care - not euthanasia - is the real compassionate alternative in these cases. I am not an expert. I am not a doctor. However, I do hold life in the highest regard. I can sympathize with those that belief death is the only way to find relief. Call me an idealist, but I believe that any person can find some source of joy in life.

And as a side note - I believe Robert Latimer deserves to stay in jail. I have no doubt this will turn into a full-fledged argument. Let the games begin.

i could put you out of your misery, as for killing myself, i'd probably just OD on something and get right freakin' high before i died, of course i'd have to have some tunes on too, if we've learned anything from Kurt Cobain, it's that shooting yourself is not the best way to go...or that heroin is bad...or that Courtney Love's a dirty ho...or that you don't have to be a guitar god to be an incredible song-writer...or...uhhhh, fuck it.

suicide = bad, it's taking the easy way out, i'd only condone such actions if somebody was on their deathbed and wanted to die with dignity surrounded by friends and family or w/e, other than that, it's just wrong.

Hunter Thompson's suicide has nothing to do with the right to die.

As for taking the coward's way out (or being courageous), that's simplistic. These are not rational decisions. Suicide (with the exception of right-to-die cases) is usually the culmination of a period of mental illness. Thompson suffered from severe bouts of depression throughout his career. This time, he lost the fight.

He was "just another fucked-up cleric with a bad heart," and now that bad heart has taken him to the end of the road. Why not mark the occasion by recognizing his achievements, instead of engaging in vapid moral posturing?

So even if one’s life is one episode of sheer misery after another, it's wrong to voluntarily end it, despite the fact that the “owner” of the life had no say as to whether or not it should have come to ‘be’ in the first place?

I simply will never agree with that logic.

Here's my favorite part:

I love it! Outside of Fear and Loathing, I haven't read a lot of his work, but this paragraph alone makes me want to check out some more of his stuff. Any reccomendations?

His death was an 'irrational decision', indeed. Now I can understand what frame of mind is required to write such ridiculous garbage as the above-posted article.

Yeah ... although folks like Esthete obviously won't enjoy the post above, nobody can argue that it isn't well written and forceful. That passage is one of the highlights of Kingdom of Fear.

Career highlights (other than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) are Hell's Angels (much more straight journalism than his later stuff), The Great Shark Hunt, and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 (although a book about a long-past presidential campaign isn't everyone's cup of tea).

And Esthete, while I sympathize with your being offended, you might be interested to learn that one of Thompson's closest friends was Pat Buchanan, of all people. Thompson spent the peak years of his career tearing holes in Buchanan and his fellow-travellers in the Nixon administration (often referring to them as Nazis), but the two became close friends.

I wasn't offended, and in all honesty, I love the guy's style and form - I respect his skills in authorship, and his journalistic contributions.

But in terms of content - well, I think much of it is half-cocked dementia. If one cannot grasp what kind of nutcase the guy was from his works, then the event of his suicide should paint a pretty clear picture.

maybe he was too sane for this crazy world we live in...just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean he's a "nutcase".

You're right, Canuck. He's a nutcase because....he's a freaking nutcase!

I knew somebody would try to tell me that maybe the 'problem' was "all of us and the world we live in", not his dementia.

Letter to Anthony Burgess (author of A Clockwork Orange), August 17, 1973.

Dear Mr. Burgess,

Herr Wenner has forwarded your useless letter from Rome to the National Affairs Desk for my examination and/or reply.

Unfortunately, we have no International Gibberish Desk, or it would have ended up there.

What kind of lame, half-mad bullshit are you trying to sneak over on us? When Rolling Stone asks for "a thinkpiece," goddamnit, we want a fucking Thinkpiece ... and don't try to weasel out with any of your limey bullshit about a "50,000 word novella about the condition humaine, etc...."

Do you take us for a gang of brainless lizards? Rich hoodlums? Dilettante thugs?

You lazy cocksucker. I want that Thinkpiece on my desk by Labor Day. And I want it ready for press. The time has come & gone when cheapjack scum like you can get away with the kind of scams you got rich from in the past.

Get your worthless ass out of the piazza and back to the typewriter. Your type is a dime a dozen around here, Burgess, and I'm fucked if I'm going to stand for it any longer.

Sincerely,

Hunter S. Thompson

(direwolf74: either of his two volumes of collected letters are also good.)
