James Cameron: Gunslinger

Font Size:

Howdy, stranger! Well, you look plumb tuckered out. Why doncha climb down off’n yer horse and set a spell? I cain’t offer much more’n a nice warm campfire, this pot a’ beans, and the company of a broke-down ol’ prospector seen better days, but yer more’n welcome to it. There ya go! Make yerself at home, friend. Kin I interest ya in some a’ this here jug whiskey? No? Hope ya don’t mind if I help myself. Glug, glug, glug. Mmmmmm-mm!

What’s that ya say? Kin I tell ya any good stories? Hmmm, let me jest scratch my whiskers here and think on it some… Oh yes! Yep, yep, I got one. I reckon you’ll enjoy this tale, mister, it’s a doozy.

Ever heard tell of a feller name a’ James Cameron? Well, he wuz a gunslinger, ya see, a legend ’round these here parts. ‘Cept his gun wuz a camera. Fastest you ever seen. Why, he could make a movin’ pitcher in less’n 15 years!

He had fame. He had money. He wuz King of the World! But that warn’t enuff for ol’ Killer Cameron (that’s what they called him, Killer Cameron). He had to go around tellin’ ever’body that if they all tried to live like he did, the whole dang planet wuz a-gonna die.

And one day, well, one day he got fed up and done called some out some no-good, hornswogglin’, climate-denyin’ varmints:

“I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads.”

Hee-hee-heeeeeeee! Oh, he wuz a fierce one, ol’ Killer. And wouldn’t ya know it, a few rotten, sidewindin’ rascals took him up on it: Mean Marc Morano, Calamity Ann McElhinney, and the worst a’ the whole bunch, Mad Dog Breitbart. “You just name the time and place,” they said, the Earth-murderin’ fury shinin’ in their eyes. “We’ll be there.”

So that’s what they done, they set up a duel and got theirselves ready for the gunfight to end all gunfights. After this epic battle, wouldn’t nobody try to deny the settled science a’ anthropogenic global warmin’ ever agin!

The time a’ the glorious showdown drew nigh. All wuz in readiness. And then Killer Cameron did what every great gunfighter does:

He turned tail and ran.

Ain’t that right, Newsbusters?

Multi-millionaire filmmaker James Cameron on Sunday backed out of a global warming debate that he asked for and organized.

For those that haven’t been following the recent goings on concerning Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s favorite money-making myth, an environmental summit was held this weekend in Aspen, Colorado, called AREDAY, which is short for American Renewable Energy Day.

Ahead of this conference, Cameron challenged three noted global warming skeptics to a public debate where he was going to personally “call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads.”

But accordin’ ta Calamity Ann:

Then, yesterday, just one day before the debate, his representatives sent an email that Mr. “shoot it out ” Cameron no longer wanted to take part. The debate was cancelled.

Haw-haw-hawwwwwww! You shoulda seen the looks on them fact-rustlers’ faces when ol’ Killer Cameron bravely refused ta face ’em. Then he called ’em names behind their backs! Go ahead, say he’s yeller all ya want — cuz, well, that’s what he is — but he’s the one wearin’ the white hat, if’n ya really don’t think about it.

Sure I cain’t interest ya in some a’ this whiskey, mister? Aw, hey, where ya goin’? We wuz just gettin’ acquainted! I’m so lonely, mister. I warn’t gonna try nothin’, I just wanted ta… Wait, come back! Don’t ya wanna hear about Inconvenient Al and the Hole-in-the-Theory Gang? Come back! Come baaaaaaaack!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
