Robert Redford is a hypocrite but still damn cool
In an interview with Playboy Magazine, actor and all-around cool guy Robert Redford says he drives a hybrid but - guilty pleasure alert - he enjoys speedy sports cars. Robert admits that's hypocritical but I think we are all still shocked and upset to find out Playboy actually has articles. Here are the quotes."I drive hybrid cars. I've had passive solar heating and wind generation in my Utah home since 1975. But I must say, I do like racing fast cars. It's a hypocritical, weak move on my part. But I've always loved speed."
"I love finding a good stretch of road and cutting loose in my Porsche. That's all I want to say about that."
Just kidding about that articles thing. If Hef knows anything, he knows words.

Dear Robert Redford,
From Reid D Reasor, Lt Col (Ret) USAF B.S M.T
Subject: Because of you
Dear Robert Redford, and the rest of the ultra left liberals who have caused the current energy problems and crisis in our country, please let me send my thank you:
Because of you:
- We shut down US oil production in the Continental United States in the 1950’s.
- I have fought in over seven different countries around the world, to get oil for you.
- We in the military have had our resources cut by 40% in the 90’s, while at the same time we increased our fighting tempo, 326% again thank you.
- I missed my family for 6 of my sons first 9 years, that was a nice bonus.
- We exported my tax money to China, and we are now over 10 trillion in debt.
- We now scramble unborn children with motorized vacuum hoses, by the millions.
- We now cannot talk openly about Jesus without being spit on, cast out of school or have our valedictorians punished, you take my religious freedoms away while I give your anti God rights to you..
- The Harvard, Vale and Princeton founding documents covering the real reason they were founded, “Open worship and study Jesus”, has been suppressed.
- We have a divorce rate of over 45%.
- We have the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the industrialized world.
Because of me and my family:
- Homeless people have lived and turned their life around. Have you ever have a homeless person in your care? No, humm, didn’t think so.
- Four unwed mothers had a chance to avoid the messy abortion issue and went on to have their babies and now there are four teen-agers because we got our hands dirty. Have you ever housed an unwed mother and provided her care? Hum?
- Have you ever housed anyone from the crisis pregnancy center? No, didn’t think so?
- Two homeless shelter can bed over 45 people a year because we give 10% of all of our money to these places? Do you give 10% of your money to anyone? No, didn’t think so.
In Summary: You are a coward of a man. You can spout your liberal hate and your self justification that I and my family have to sacrifice for these statements that you make and have to make reality work. I have to fight and be away from my family, them I clean up the homelessness that you caused by not doing anything with your own hands and them you spout more hate.
Hypocrisy Mr. Redford, get your hands dirty before you take on the world with your words. It easy to spout liberalism from a couch.
Not at all in respect;
Reid D. Reasor, Lt Col (USAF) B.S. M.T

Let him be just whot he is, he is intelegent, beautiful from the inside out and he cares further than most of us could ever think. He is a light on this earth who cannot be replaced so leave him be for who he is and that is Mr. Redford.
With much admiration and love Mr. Redford

Mr. Redford is NOT a hypocrite! He admits that he enjoys occasional indulgences and does NOT go around telling everyone else how to live their lives. The key here is moderation.
Now, take one look at The Reverend Al “green” Gore (Gaia ’s personal messenger) and you can plainly see that the man NEVER experiences moderation, but he expect… no DEMANDS that everyone else does. THAT is a hypocrite.
Mr. Linton, Do you fly in jet aircraft? Eat meat? Own, occasionally drive or even ride in a non-hybrids? Like to place labels on strangers? Live in a glass house? Have a rock garden…

I look forward to finding a good stretch of road and cutting loose in my Tesla. If that makes me a hypocrite, I could give a rats ass.

Hef knows more about auto safety than you might think. Specifically, I refer to "dual airbags."

I hope calling Robert Redford a hypocrite was a joke. Solar heating and wind generation in his Utah home since 1975. Hmm. That sounds better than 99.999% of the population.

Soon anyone with an electric car will be able to take a drive one hour North of Los Angeles, to the Willow Springs International Raceway, find rapid chargers there and racing tracks where they can take their EVs flat out.
