Defending American’s Right to Choose : Smoking

What proof do we actually have that smocking is bad for us? There are many Americans that have smoked their whole lives and live to be a 100! There are several studies that actually show that smoking is good for us, because the smoke kills germs in the air we breathe. It?s like a disinfectant for the air!
Many good men smoked throughout their lives like Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh.


As American as it can get : The Marlboro Man is enjoying the taste of Freedom

The whole anti-smoking hysteria is coming out of the far left corner of politics, from those girly men that can?t stand the smoke because they fear to faint any minute. But why do we let them terrorize us once again? Liberals have proven over and over again that they have no moral authority whatsoever. We should just ignore their whining and fight them wherever we can by enjoying the great taste of a cigarette and let them have their fair share as second hand smokers, because that is what they are: 2nd class!


True American Role Model : Ronald Reagan

Today I proudly proclaim my support for the smokers rights! I am a smoker myself. I smoked my first cigarette when I was 14 and I never regretted it. I also smoke around my children and during pregnancy, and my children grow up just fine!

Quote – Smokingaloud.com: The ongoing anti-smoking campaign is not about public health, drug abuse, or teen smoking. What it is all about is money, control, and jurisdiction.
1. MONEY: The U.S. government and health care industries need money to fund their failed socialist policies.
2. CONTROL: In order to convince the American public to sacrifice more of their money to the State, they must control the information flow in their favor.
3. JURISDICTION: In order to confiscate and redistribute the income of the tobacco industry and American taxpayer, the State must extend its jurisdiction and regulatory powers.

Liberal Cigarettes
The Liberal’s Cigarette : Ultra Lights / No Tast, No fun no real Freedom

The U.S. government has robbed Medicare and the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for it’s increased social spending and now needs to replenish its coffers. Health Insurance companies have built huge empires, homes, and lifestyles for its executives with the profits from health insurance premiums and now need to find a source of income to pay its increasing claims. I actually believe the Health Insurance industry is on the verge of collapse unless it comes up with something.

From its very beginning, the Clinton Spin Machine has been at work popularizing Socialism in our society. Examples abound everywhere, blowing the health issues with smoking WAY out of proportion is only one. Hillary’s entire “It Takes A Village” propaganda campaign has been designed to turn the Americans attention from the real issues of them dismantling “democratic capitalism” to embrace a more “socialistic” form of government.[-smokinjoe]

I urge you to support the smokers rights and confront anti-smokers wherever you can. Buy cigarettes and enjoy the taste of freedom!

Yours truly,

A response from my good friend Tristan:

Shelley,

These pro-smoking web sites make some very convincing arguments!

The tobacco industry does America great deal of good, plus it supports a
great many worthy causes. It’s one of our most valuable exports, and
some of America’s best loved brands. Joe Camel and the Marlboro man are
both American icons. Building these brands is an achievement every bit
as valuable as the space program.

Pot-smoking Liberal
The Liberal’s Hypocrisy knows no Limits : They smoke pot every chance they get, but want to stop good hard working Americans from enjoying the freedom to smoke a good oldfashioned cigarette

The medical evidence against tobacco seems to be no more than
circumstantial. No scientists have been able to prove in a laboratory
that tobacco is anything other than beneficial. I personally choose not
to smoke, but I hardly think liberals with their disproportionate “vice
taxes” are the ones to morally lead our country. What rights have they
to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do? This is supposed to be a free
country!

Why are the politcally-correct democrats so opposed to American
agriculture anyway? Some of the founding fathers were tobacco growers.
This attack on tobacco growers is an attack on American agriculture, and
American businesses. Why are the democ-rats leading a war on American
industry at a time of war?

What’s their problem?

Ken Lay & Enron: Americans demand justice!

I never knew Kenneth Lay, but I new his type; He is one of the patriots that built our great nation. He’s a Christian, and a phlanthropist. He’s a friend to the Presidency and a true American entrepreneur. Ken Lay embodies the pioneering spirit like no other I can name.

Ken Lay: An American patriot, falsely convicted by a misguided liberal legal system. Like Jonah, God may be testing his spirit. (Photo by Washington Post)

No matter what the fancy lawyers say I cannot believe he did all those things of which he has been accused. I know in my gut that he is an innocent man, and a victim of his own defence’s incompetence compounded by a liberal-biased legal system that loves nothing more than to kick a conservative when he is down. I’m sure Ken knows that he is a victim of the same corrupted system that has hounded Oliver North, Tom DeLay, and Karl Rove.

Enron: Another victim of the liberal conspiracy against corporate america. Before America’s enemies shut down this business, it was one of the most profitable, desirable stocks in the nation. Enron was still proftable when it was wrongly closed.

I will allways remember Ken’s sanguine response, following his absurd trial:

“We believe God is in fact in control and indeed he does work all things for good for those who love the Lord.”

These are true words; And perhaps God does indeed have a purpose for our friend Kenneth. Perhaps God is punishing Ken for the sin of pride, for he had much to be proud about: He began life in poverty, but built the 7th most profitable company in American history from nothing. He was an inspiration to thousands of Americans. He brought wealth and much needed energy to a grateful country.

But which of us is free from sin? I truly hope the judge considers this on Sepember 11th 2006, when our dear friend is due to be sentenced for crimes of which he is innocent. Which company will be free to innovate and take risks in the climate of fear that will no doubt come about as a result of this unfortunate conviction? Will this be the fate of American prosperity that scheeming democrats have been planning for so long?

Is God testing Ken Lay? According to the bible, even great prophets must be prepared to face god’s judgement. Even a true patriot and a friend of America may be tested byt god. (Pic by Holy Spirit Interactive )

The darte of Ken’s sentencing reminds us of the greatest crime in our recent history. It may have been five years ago, but to me it still seems like yesterday. While Ken Lay and his company were fighting for America, a group of evil terrorists were planning to destroy the World Trade Centre. Chief amongst those plotters was Osama Bin Laden’s right hand man, the criminal genius Zacharias Mousawi.

Federal prosecuters had ample reason to believe that he was the co-ordinator of the attacks five years ago. When we captured him, we were given the the chance to send a clear signal to the terrorists: By giving Mr Mousawi a death sentence, we could have sent a strong to future terrorsts. There is no greater deterrant than the death penalty. We have lost that opportunity, thanks to the liberal bias legal system. The criminal mastermind has got of with a mere life-sentence.

The criminal genius who planned this tragedy for Osama Bin Laden has escaped with a mere life-sentence. Now the world thinks we are soft on terrorism. This is liberal “justice” gone mad.

Osama Bin Laden inadvertantly proved that Mousawi was a key plotter by trying to divert attention away from the prisoner. What more proof do we need that we had got the right man? Why then can justice not take it’s course? Friends, is there no justice in America?

Are innocent patriots like Ken to be incarserated, while self-confessed mass-murderes like Mr Mousawi are allowed to live in comfort at the tax-payer’s expense? Please sign your comments below if you agree with us. We conservatives demand a pardon for Ken, and the death penalty for evil Moisawi.

We pray that our President will emulate Christ’s forgiveness and grant a pardon for Ken Lay. He has proved himself to be a true friend of the American people. He deserves to be free. ( Pic by Rick Kelley )

The free world demands justice.

God Bless

Condi for President : 2008

I like condi!Dear Friends

We have to face the fact that George W. Bush can not forever our President and Jeb Bush might not want to run for office. In that we from ShelleyTheRepublican.com think that Dr. Condoleezza Rice would make a wonderful president!

Please read the two of her greatest quotes below and you will see what I am talking about!

Condi 2006Rendition is a vital tool in combating transnational terrorism….. Renditions take terrorists out of action, and save lives.
December 5, 2005

“Power matters. But there can be no absence of moral content in American foreign policy, and furthermore, the American people wouldn’t accept such an absence. Europeans giggle at this and say we’re naive and so on, but we’re not Europeans, we’re Americans – and we have different principles.”
February 2003

And like so often, our President George W. Bush agrees with STR.com’s views and says:

“Listen, Condi Rice is a remarkable woman. She is bright, talented, firm and clearly sees where the world is going, and she’s going to do a very good job. She took Europe by storm, and that’s good for the United States.”
President George Bush (43), March 3, 2005

I urge you to visit Dr. Rice’ campaign website and show her your support! America needs her spirit and her wisdom!

Listen to?her Radio Ad!

Kind regards,

Liberals: Unprepared

Ask a Democrat what the world’s biggest problems are. He will most likely mention “peak-oil” or “global-warming; two preposterous scare-scenarios. These liberal myths have been largely debunked by reputable scholars, nevertheless most liberals consume themselves, dreaming up impossible solutions to these improbable problems.


Peak Oil: Liberal geologists think that the world is going to run out of Oil in a matter of years. The Bible tells us that God would never let this happen.

Overburdened by their elitist notions, liberals are so obsessed by these imaginary dangers, that they forget about the real threats that face our nation.

We all know that part of being a Republican is preparedness. Republicans expect and prepare for next terrorist attack, the next natural disaster or worse. Thanks to the Democrat’s idleness, we are forced to bear the world’s real problems on our shoulders:

What could be worse than Terrorism or natural disasters? I am talking about the biggest danger of all, and the one which will almost certainly be coming very soon: The Tribulation.

If you are not familiar with this term, I suggest you reach for your Bible (liberals who do not posses a Bible can find God’s book on the Internet ) and consult it’s final chapter, Revelations.

This book describes in clear, literal and unambiguous terms exactly how the world will end. It tells us how sinful behavior will bring about the end of the world, long before any of the liberal nightmare scenarios can occur.

Anybody who pays even the slightest attention to the news will have noticed that the signs of rapture are clearly visible: We are at war with an satanic foe; Our enemies are building nuclear weapons and our culture is succumbing to the sickness of a debauched liberal media.

According to many governmental advisors, these are all trustworthy indicators that the world’s end will come soon. If you need proof that the end is near, you can use this site which carefully observes those signs and plots how close we are to the end-times just like a stock-index.

Are any of your loved ones unsaved? They may be left behind if you are called to heaven when the Rapture begins. The Bible tells us that before the Tribulation, many Christians will be called directly to heaven.

Not all Christians will ascend, but the bible assures us that God will claim the most pious and blameless amongst us. There is a very high probability that key members of the Republican administration may be enraptured, leaving our government weakened at a time of national crisis.

Fortunately, we Republicans have prepared for this. Under this administration, FEMA have been given an additional duty of ensuring national Rapture preparedness. Before I retired, as a state employee, one of my duties was ensuring preparing our IT infrastructure and procedures for the coming Tribulations. You can be sure that G. W. Bush is making America Rapture-Ready.

As with most things in life, responsibility for any problem must be shared between government and citizens. Did you know that your actions, and those of your friends and neighbors might bring about the Rapture?

Furthermore, if you are not amongst the lucky few who can observe the Tribulations from the safety of heaven, you had better be prepared:

  • Make sure that your Church and congregation are Rapture-ready. Read Revelations and ensure that you know the signs of the coming Tribulation.
  • Check the rapture-ready index every day. This will give you the opportunity to stock-up in the advance of the major disasters that will almost certainly come.
  • Donate as much as you can spare to charities that help prepare for the Rapture. View Pat Robertson’s web-site for some excellent suggestions;. Remember, you will not need money in Heaven, or once the Tribulations are over.
  • Do not tolerate sinful behavior amongst others. Remember, that the cause of the Tribulations and all suffering is human sin. Support organizations which lobby your congressmen and senators for greater punishments of sinners.
  • Finally, remember that it is our duty to convert others to Christianity. If you know of an Atheist, confront him. If necessary, visit his home and explain to them how their Atheism might be harming this country.

Thanks and God Bless,

Tristan

Euro Trip – Part 1 – The not so Great Britain

Dear Reader,

You might be aware that I am in my fifties. In my life I travelled the American, African and Asian continents. I even visited Australia and New Zealand. But until last year I had never ever set foot on European grounds. As so many of my colleagues and acquaintances rave about how beautiful Europe is, how clean and nice, I decided to take my 3 weeks yearly holiday allowance to make an European roundtrip. I checked the Internet (CIA World Factbook, the most trusted source for foreign countries), bought travel books and went to a couple travel agencies. All the the books and pictures promised me the trip of a lifetime, elegant cities breathing lots of history with century old houses, streets and places, nice smart people, clean and open landscapes, castles and manor-houses, dreamlike gardens and lots of good food.

I decided to start my European adventure in the United Kingdom. This country consists of England, the Channel Isles as well as Scotland and Wales which are independently ruled in way that they have their own government and own laws.

The Queen — Leader of the Brits

Prince Charles — British genes at their best?

I found an incredibly cheap flight bringing me from Iowa City to Washington-Baltimore Airport to Reykjavik, Iceland. Iceland is not more than a flat, brown stony island. With no trees whatsoever. It was a really dull and depressing sight. No place I would want to spend my holiday. From Iceland I’ve flown to Glasgow. Glasgow is the third biggest city in the UK and the biggest city in Scotland, which lies at the far north of this rather tiny island. Of course if you think Scotland you think at Loch Ness, pipes, Highlands, sheep?s, kilts and whiskey. The impression I got however didn’t correspond with these images at all. First of all the language! English (American) is my mother tongue. I’ve never had any problems understanding these Oxford Brits, people from Australia, India, South Africa even Canada. But this Scottish language… It sounds like something cave people used about thousands years ago.

Quickfacts: Dictionary: English – Scottish
yes – aye
little/small – wee
thanks – ta
goodbye – ta ta
don’t worry – nea batha

Scottish Audio Sample

After fighting to give the taxi driver instructions on how to get to my hotel and a 30 minute drive in which I was clinging on to my seat in this shabby little car while the driver was racing on the wrong side of the road, or so for me it seemed, I was relieved that the driver found me the Holiday Inn in which a room was booked for the night.I withdraw to my room just wanting to take a shower and change my clothes. The room was dirty, not much different from what I had seen so far from Scotland. So after demanding the room to be cleaned thoroughly.

I set out to find a place to eat. Wandering through dirty grey streets, seeing people just throwing away their trash where they’re standing I came to a kind of fast food restaurant. Grimy windows promised nothing good especially after reading the menu which mainly consisted of fish and chips (note chips are what we Americans call freedom-fries), baked beans and sausage and the unofficial Scottish national dish, deep fried pizza with a portion of deep fried Mars bars… No wonder the people here are so fat. Even worse is how they look. The women look like prostitutes, even in coldest winter they wear nothing more than a mini-skirt, figure revealing tops (mostly in pink and baby blue) and knee length boots that would put a dominatrix to shame.Scottish men though seem to prefer just wearing track suits and sneakers. The one’s not wearing that seem to be fond of cheap black plastic trousers and horrifying looking shirts with, again, cheap looking black plastic shoes. Don’t they have any pride, any taste at all? Later on I learned that these tracksuit people call themselves neds. A great site to study the behavior, culture and looks of these people is this website.

Cheers!

There is no denying Scots are ugly and bad mannered. In America you just see bums and Liberals spitting on the streets, burping, scratching their crotch or even farting in public. Not in Scotland. 90% of the people never seem to have heard the word manners. Clearly parents as well as the government failed!

Youngster with Buckfast or “Buckie” as it is affectionately called by it’s fans. A tonic wine full of chemicals and caffeine which leads to spasms and aggressive behavior.

Back on finding a place to eat: Finally I found an restaurant that looked a little bit stylish and promised me food ‘that would let my taste bud’s tingle’. I went inside and asked the waiter what kind of dishes they offer. He recommended the official Scottish national dish which is called ‘haggis with neeps and tatties’. As a complimentary beverage he would serve me a lemonade called Irn Bru. I agreed to have that but thankfully an American guy who sat at the table next to me made me aware that Haggis consists mainly of animal bowels like sheep lungs, stomach, heart and suet! How gross is that? He also added that Irn Bru is a lemonade that mainly consists of poisonous chemicals which are causing cancer and damaging your brain cells. I thanked my fellow American citizen and left the restaurant immediately. After moving along the street, passing teenage mothers and fathers with strollers, yelling at their kid(s) or showing their friends ?their adorable wee bundle of love? I finally found what I was lounging for. A little bit of American heaven in this hostile environment. The golden arches! I was never fond of fast food but this time it tasted like ambrosia to me. America once more saved a lost soul in time of great need.

After this refreshment I went back to the hotel. I still was not really satisfied with the work of the cleaner. This nation is filthy indeed. I tried to overcome my disgust and took a shower, changed my clothes and decided to look for a church to spend prayer time in a more suitable surrounding. With the help of my Palm Pilot (another great American invention) I found a church not that far away. After leaving it an hour or so later I found myself in hell. It was not yet 10 pm and the streets were filled with drunken men and women wandering around, singing, taking of their shirts and dancing around half naked. One guy urinating next to a car; another one urinated against the wall of the church I just left. These godless bastards!

I tried to hurry along as fast as I could to get back to the hotel. To my left a crowd of people gathered around 5 men who yelled and cussed at each other then starting to hit each other in the face. Suddenly one of the men drew a knife from his pants and began to stab the others. I walked nearly ran away. Then a few steps later I heard a rustling and moaning next to me. There was a small yard with garbage containers. On of them I could see a copulating couple! There is no decency on Glasgow?s streets or so it seemed. Also I wondered about the lots of little children you could see at this time on the street. Which decent parent would allow their 5 – 12 year olds to run around at 10 pm between all these drunken aggressive people? Even worse that some of them were actually smoking cigarettes! I felt the urgent need to pray again but was lacking the courage to get back to the church.


Another fine example of an aggressive Scotsman. Look at the knifes in his hands. People like this should not be allowed to roam the streets at all.

Quickfact: According to a UN study is Scotland the most violent country of all industrialized nations!


This scene is characteristic for Glasgow at night. Drunken Neds having a ‘good’ time.

About 100 yards further down the street a car bore up to me. On the steering wheel an older disgusting guy with dark yellow teeth, many of them missing. So many of his fellow people seem to have similar problems with their teeth, aren?t there dentists around in this country? Europeans always brag about their health system, which for me seems at least as rotten as the teeth of this guy. I never waited for him to say anything but quickly turned away walking as fast as I could back to the hotel. I swore to myself never to set a foot alone in this town anymore.


Children of questionable origin spending their time with what they like best: drinking (it’s not unusual for 10 year olds to be drunk) and smoking (children as young as six or seven years can be seen on the streets with cigarettes!). In Britain about 85% of the population regularly indulge in “binge drinking” many of them kids. Also most teenagers (male and female) aged between 12 and 14 attend so called “cherry popping” parties which just serve one aim – getting drunk and deflowered.

The next day after sending away an English breakfast which mainly consist of chunks of fat and meat and beans in a disgusting looking tomato sauce and dull tasting tea, I asked to be brought to Glasgow Prestwick Airport which lies about 30 miles south of the city. Along the road thousands of ugly and depressing looking bungalows and apartment buildings; trash is littering every street, every green space . The sky is grey and cloudy; it rains nearly all the time. Scotland definitively left no good impression.


Living: UK Style — 80% of Brits live in buildings like this

Next stop: London. You hear so much about the beauty and sophistication of this city. I just found it so godless and awful. On the first night while wandering on Trafalgar Square I was robbed. Some grimy bum grabbed my bag while another one pointed a pistol at me. Luckily my money and pass was well hidden in my neck pouch. Back in the hotel I learned that nearly every second tourist in London is robbed or attacked, every 6th tourist gets seriously injured, every 20th tourist killed. London is a very dangerous place. This country or merely its inhabitants seem to be highly criminal and profoundly aggressive.


Probably it hasn’t been these guys who robbed me that night but yet they are another example of what happens to children of Liberal breeding.

The next day I didn?t dare to go out alone. Fortunately I met a nice woman from Oahu who convinced me to take a sightseeing tour in one of those famous red buses. It was a nice experience; some of the buildings in London Central are quite pretty and illustrious I have to admit. If one could just say the same about its inhabitants.


I want to end Part 1 of my travels with yet another picture of fine British citizens.

Goodbye, Great Britain, goodbye.

Now I know why so many of you came to American in search for a better life.

Kind regards,
Barbara

Next week ? Part 2 ? Destination: Paris

Homosexual Marriage : First Signs of Societal Decay

Why should we ever allow for two men or two women to marry? Why would we want to destroy the sanctity of marriage? Marriage between a man and a woman is the foundation of our society. If there is not real marriage, there are no families, no relatives, no friends and consequently no hope anymore. Like an ecosystem the structure of society is fragile. If you change one detail you the whole system, in this case the whole society, could ultimately collapse.


Gay Couple : Dangerous Mix of Moral Decay and Filthy Habits

One of the many strategies of terrorist killers is to send out their homosexuals to spread aids in America. The young and mostly not unattractive homosexual hitman are deliberately infected with the HIV virus. Those “latinos” are mostly welcome in American gay communities.


Young Terrorist Hitman : Infecting the American Society

One of the most disgusting aspects of the gay marriage is that fact that many gays are seeking to adopt children. Most effected by the gay plague is Europe where an estimated 35% of all marriages are gay marriages (15% = 2 women / 20% = 2 men). An estimated 55% of children growing up in gay marriages turning out to be gay themselves! Studies of the European Family Alliance clearly show that the all to open love making of gays is shocking the children that bad that they see no other way to deal with their disgust than to turn gay themselves.


Wannabe Mother : We now know that children select their partners in their adult life according to the similarity to their parents. When a young man goes out in the world looking for a girl similar to this “mother” he will probably end up with another gay man

The high number of homosexuals in areas like San Francisco, New York, Little Rock and other big cities are the result of the high number of European immigrants to the USA. When it comes to gays immigrating to America countries like Russia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Belarus pose the biggest threat. Those countries deliberately encouraging their gay population to leave the country and provide them with flight tickets to the USA.


Homosexual Communists : Russia and other communist nations are sending their gays to the USA in order to weaken the American Society

The destructive homosexual behavior is very easy to spot. Gays and lesbians can be found in bars and gay clubs almost every night of the week in order to satisfy their neverending appetite for sex. All gay clubs have a so called ‘Dark Room’. This is a poorly lit room where gays enter to have free sex with any other men available. They even have especially designed pants for that reason. In those gay facilities video monitors and televisions are showing hardcore porn movies like “Anal Pleasures 5″


Gay Pants : Easy Access to the Anus

Not less troubling is the behavior of lesbians. The role playing of man and wife is even more visible in lesbian marriages. One woman seem normal from the outside the other one is compensating her failure to be manly by behaving in an overly masculine fashion and manly appearance. This women mostly have short cut hair, are overweight, wear leather and latex and speak with a low voice. The also tend not to shave their body hair.


Lesbian Bikers : Troubled Minds : They desire other women and they want to be men

Normally I don’t believe in a big government, but Gays and Lesbians need our help! I propose that the government starts an education campaign against homosexuality. The states have to offer special conversion programs like the one I am conducting myself.

I believe that deep down inside those gays and lesbians want to be normal and want to be a healthy part of our society. Let’s reach out and offer them help and understanding. There is hope for every gay and every lesbian to become straight.

If you want to have more information about gays, please read my other article about that subject.

Thanks for reading, your friend, Shelley

Calling all Patriots: Time to take our country back!

They have taken over our country, written God out of the Constitution and forced immorality after immorality upon the majority of Americans. And if that wasn’t enough, liberals have seized our schools, forcing a Godless agenda on our children. They deny life to the sick and the unborn, and in their hands our media has gone out of control.

?Democ-Rats : No ideas, just childish rage

?

So the liberals got exactly what they wanted ? so why are they still so angry? Why is it that you cannot have an adult, facts based debate with a liberal? The minute you confront them with the truth, they come back with their fanciful notions. Anybody who has spoken at length with a liberal knows about the ways they try to twist words and pervert our language. Ever heard a liberal speaking the plain truth?

Nope… me neither. And thats why Shelley started this blog. A place where conservatives can have a mature discussion. It’s a forum, free of political correctness, junk science and liberal myths. Judging by our increased readership, we think you must like it an awful lot.

A blog like this takes a lot of hard work. Shelley hates to brag, but I know how hard she works. She writes this blog and looks after her household, husband and two kids. Our friends Mike and Barbara also lend their assistance, moderating your comments and tirelessly checking our facts. We know that we have created something special and we are so glad that you enjoy it, and thats why we are asking for your help.

We are looking to recruit some extra writers and researchers for our humble blog. We hope to expand our output, and increase our assault on the forces of liberalism that threaten our great nation. Do you have the moral fortitude to directly confront evil? We want to be able to deliver at least one article of insightful, sober patriotic commentary every day of the week, and in order to do that we would like your help.

Support America, Support ShelleyTheRepublican.com! We are looking for a few good people!

If you are interested in helping out please head over to our “Free Speech Zone” and suggest your ideas or preferably submit a complete article. Shelley and I would love to hear from you. And while you are at it, Don’t forget to register as a Republican on our Map of Patriots.

God Bless our President and the U.S.A.,

Liberals call it pollution, we call it Life

Thank heavens that at least one conservative grass-roots activist group has the courage to speak up against the liberal myth of Global Warming. These days, the liberal pseudo-scientific community run by Internet pornographer and absentee parent Al Gore is quick to shout down anything that disproves the current lberal “orthodoxy”.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute has released a pair of inspirational public service ads, debunking the notion that Carbon Dioxide gas is harmful.

If only the crazy liberal mainstream media would listen to this “still small voice of calm” amongst the mad-scientists braying for attention amongst an increasingly alarmist media. If we were able to have calm and rational facts based discussion then violently anti-American organizations like Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth wouldn’t get so much attention.

Now that we don’t need to worry about global warming, I suggest you pay more attention to Shelley’s lifestyle tips.

Yours in Christ,

A True History of Linux

In my first article on Linux, I allerted my fellow conservatives to the liberalconspiracy that threatens our Nation’s IT Infrastructure. My next article compared the Linux and Windows operating systems, thus debunking much of the hype associated with this upstart. With this article, I would like to dispel many of the myths that surround the cult of Linux, with a view to exposing it’s real origins.

Ask any Linux hacker where Linux came from, and they will surely inform you that it was written from scratch by the Finnish programmer Linus Torvalds. They will tell you that he started by writing the “Kernel”.

Fact File: What is a Kernel? This component is used for typing in simple commands like “dir” and “more”. Windows has a component called “cmd.exe” which serves a similar purpose but comes with better commands. Windows programmers often use a modern graphical user interface in preference to a kernel, however Linux users do not have this luxuary.

According to legend Torvalds soon attracted a cult of self-confessed “hackers” who were able to further his goals. Many of these hackers are known only by their initials.

Linus Torvalds: His claims to have been the inventor of Linux have been somewhat debunked by a recent report by the Alexis De Tocqueville Institution. (photo from Wikipedia)

“RMS”: A noted “Open Source” activist. He invented the “eMac”, the only computer hacker’s word-processor compatible with Linux. His software is famous for being hard to use and inferior to modern tools like Visual Studio. (Photo: Wikipedia)

“ESR”: A close associate of Torvals. A self-confessed hacker. (Photo from http://www.catb.org)

“P.J.”: Runs the pro-Linux hate-site “Groklaw“. His true identity is a secret, known only to the inner-circle of Linux hackers. His contributions to the Linux computer program are also a secret.

We are expected to believe that the modern Linux just came about as a result of these amateur programmers, and until 2003 most technical people chose not to question these bizarre claims. Anybody familiar with the huge costs of building a modern operating system like Microsoft Windows Vista will know that this claim is somewhat unfeasible. In 2003
a company called SCO Group, the invenors of the “UNIX” operating system noticed something odd about Linux. Substantial portions of their own product called “SCO Unixware” were very similar to the published “source code” of Linux. They commissioned a major MIT study to discover if Linux was a copy of UNIX and were amazed at what they had found:

Fact File: What is source code? Old computer programs were distributed as source-code on magnetic tape. This is an obsolete way to distribute software that was used before the availablity of the more convenient “Binary” format. Even today, some programs (such as those written by GNU) are released as source code only. Perversely, this is to prevent the software from being used outside the fraternity of computer hackers.

“…we turned 3 different teams of code programmers loose on the codebases of AIX, Unix and Linux. And they came back with – independently – we had the three teams – one was a set of high-end mathematcians, rocket scientist, modeling type guys. Another team was based on standard programmer types. A third team were really spiffy on agent technology and how all of this technology was built in the first place. So the three teams came back independently and validated that there wasn’t just a little bit of code showing up inside of Linux from our Unix intellectual property base. There was actually a mountain of code showing up in there.” – Darl McBride, CEO SCO Group.

Darl, the charismatic leader of SCO Group, and a commited Christian claims that Linux hackers stole “Source Code” from his company.

SCO Group dropped a bombshell on the world of Linux. The evidence strongly suggested that this group of hackers had stolen the methods and concepts from their more advanced rival products, and worse still, major corporations had been colluding with the Linux hackers: Darl added, “Prior to IBM’s involvement, Linux was the software equivalent of a bicycle. Unix was the software equivalent of a luxury car. To make Linux acceptable to enterprise customers, it must be redesigned to become the software equivalent of a luxury car. This redesign was not technologically feasible without access to Unix code, methods and concepts.” In 2004, Forbes columnist Daniel Lyons wrote that SCO group had found a “Smoking Gun” – literally mountains of evidence that SCO’s intellectual property had been violated. But dont take his word for it, many leading tech analysts and journalists who once listed themselves as Linux admirers, have since turned their back on the beleaguered operating
system:

Maureen O’Gara, used to publish a journal called “Linuxgram”. After SCO’s damning revelations few businesses could afford to take Linux seriously. When she threatened to close down her popular journal, Linux activists working for P.J. ran a campaign of intimidation and dis-information in order to discredit the already disgruntled journalist. With friends like this, even the most ardent Linux enthusuast might be forced to think again. A leading tech analyst once a loyal IBM employee was forced to conclude: “IBM made a serious mistake in introducing Unix code into Linux without proper notification to? Or approval from SCO, which is the current, documented owner of Unix. The issue should have been fully vetted before Linux was compromised. The end result is a complex, no-holds-barred war against a much smaller company in an attempt to cover up and mitigate this mistake. In the process, the Linux community, in support of IBM, has been duped into using illegal means to attack SCO in the nastiest release of viruses the world has ever seen. The rest of us are used as cannon fodder in this virus plague.” – Rob Enderle, Principal analyst of the Enderle Group.

Rob turned away from Linux when he learnt of it’s criminality. He could in good faith continue contributing to the “Linux Community”.

Samizdat, the report by Ken Brown of AdTI. This book destroyed what little credibility Linux had left!

And if that was not enough, one of the most respected consulting organizations, The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution corroborated SCO’s allegations in their widely praised report “Samizdat”. This study proved beyond all doubt that Linux was in fact derived from a wide range other computer programs. It’s developers had re-used concepts from Unix without licensing the valuable patents: The Linux developers were stealing from American companies:

Linux hackers call Torvalds a “Dictator”, because he has based Linux on the principles originally developed by the Cuban Marxist terrorist Fidel Castro. (Photo from Wikimedia Commons)

Three years on from these shock revelations, Linux is still recovery. Linus Torvalds, who is often described as “Dictator for Life” is still in charge of this troubled program. He has finally recognized the need to clean up this mess and has ordered a complete overhaul of the Linux operating system. Meanwhile Microsoft Windows Vista is nearing completion, and is sure to be the most advanced and valuable computer program ever written. With Linux usage in decline, this could be the beginning of the end for Linux.

Most tech analysts agree that the struggle between SCO Group vs the IBM / Linux conspiracy is akin to David vs Goliath. It may be that SCO Group have already won their case, as IBM’s lawyers have prevented disclosure of many important documents that would vindicate SCO. (Pic by JAE)

If your friends or employers are considering switching to Linux, please remember the following key points:

  • Linux has been developed by self-confessed hackers. Are these the people you want building your critical infrastructure?
  • Linux adoption has been delayed by these troubling court-cases. Can you really afford to take a risk on this untested new product?
  • Remember to make use of ADTI’s excellent “Samizdat“, a report that clearly debunks the origins of Linux.

=================================
AND WE GOT A WINNER!
CONGRATULATIONS TO RICK AND RUTH FROM OSHKOSH, WI!

Hey Shelley,

I am Rick , 29, father of 6 living near Oshkosh, WI. My buddy Josh showed me your website and I find it really awesome. F*cking liberal dipsh*ts! Reveal them damn liberals for what they are – nothing more than dirt on my boots!

Please I want you and Tristan to pray for me and my wife, Ruth. She’s in the hospital at the moment. She tripped and hit her head. To be honest we had a fight. After she lost her job in the meat packing plant nearby our marriage is more difficult than ever. Sometimes I hit her, ok, but it’s her fault most of the times. She’s just pushing my buttons. I mean I love her and all but sometimes she is a real bitch. I wish she would show me more respect you know. What’s wrong with a woman bringing her guy a beer? I mean I work about 65 hours a week to feed her and the kids and she just stays at home getting fatter and fatter, doing nothing and then when I get home refuses to get me a bud? I mean I am the man in this house and bringing me a beer really is not too much to ask for, isn’t it? Darn, forget it.

Anyway, can you please pray for her so that she gets better soon? She has to be home real soon as our trailer looks like a mess and I can’t afford to go to the diner anymore to get something to eat. We need the money she gets in her part time job in the car wash, because I can’t pay the babysitter anymore so they have to stay at home all day on their own. I got a couple of complaints from the neighbors because they’re crying and shouting really loud. Damn kids. That’s another thing it was her idea to have them, so she could stay home and not work, but now way, she have to bring some money home as long as she lives in my house.

Here’s a photo of her so that you see who you’re praying for:

By the way, that’s me:

Oh yeah, and before I forget, this is the screenshot of the counter:

Thanks Shelley and Tristan, you are both real Americans and I will pray for your, too.

Rick

Rick,
first of all, thank you very much for your email and the pictures. Tristan and I have just ended our 1 hour of praying for you and your family. We both feel that the Lord will take especially good care of you and your family!

Now a few words of criticism: Your family life is our course nobody’s business but your own, but I don’t think that it is right to hit your wife, no matter what she did, but I think deep down inside you know that, am I right? Also: You can’t leave your kids alone at home. This is much to dangerous, not only could they set the trailer on fire, think about what kind of people are running around! Not everybody is as good of a Christian as we are! Imagine some liberal bum comes to the trailer to get you to vote for the DNC, my God. And Rick, please don’t use this kind of language. I don’t like censorship, but I had to star-out some of your words…

Now, let me tell you exactly what we prayed for:

  • 15 minutes: For health and a long life for you and your family!
  • 15 minutes: That your wife will show you the proper respect and accepts her role as wife and mother!
  • 15 minutes: That your children grow up to be honest, decent, God fearing Americans like you are!
  • 15 minutes: For strength for you and your family, so that you all continue to follow the path of the honest and righteous so when you face the Lord your hearts are spotless and you minds are white.

May the Lord be with you and your family my friend,
Shelley

Operation Gay Conversion : Walk & Talk

As promised I am reporting on the progress of Tommy’s gay conversion. It’s all going according to my plan. In the 3rd week we have been working on his very gay accent. It’s hard to describe, please he does not want me to record him (I guess he just hates how he talks, too). It’s sound British to me. Very nasal, very wannabe feminine. It’s terribly uncool and with this kind of language he disqualifies himself to be part of a healthy society. Back to the conversion: Step three has been the most difficult yet. I tried to teach him as good as I could:

Rule1: Use a lower voice (his voice was whiny and tiny).
Rule2: Do not start every sentence with the word: “Actually”.
Rule3: Do not call another guy “Honey” or “You big stud”.
Rule4: Do not talk about clothes and sex in public.

It’s about time somebody taught that boy how to talk: I went to church with him and after the service the pastor said goodbye to his congregation, like always, and when Tommy and I said goodbye, the pastor asked Tommy: “Are you religious my child?” and Tommy said in his thickest most disgusting gay accent: “Oh yes, I LOVE JESUS!”. The way he said it was just shameful and sounded more like he would like to have gay sex with our Lord and savior. My God if he has to talk gay, can’t he talk at least quietly? At least ten heads turned in our direction. It was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life! I apologized and gave him a good smack against the head. Well this will all end soon. We keep practicing. Tommy is a promising boy.

You might think that teach a gay not to walk gay is especially difficult but the truth is that Tommy made it easy for me. The problem that still persists is that he let’s his hands dangle when we walks. It looks a little like the walk of Peggy Bundy of the TV series “Married with Children”. For now to prevent further embarrassment I taped his wrists to a wooden skewer so his arms and hands show a straight line. And straight is what we want, right?

Proudly American : Role model for all American males : If you walk and talk like John Wayne, you are a real man

When it comes to talking and walking you have to learn from the masters, therefore I forbade him to watch anything else than John Wayne western movies.

Al Gore : His liberal lies exposed

Friends, Liberals have a funny notion of paradise: For starters they would take away our trucks and SUVs, and force us all to get around with a horse and buggy.

Next they would forbid the use of oil for anything other than their herbal scented aromatherapy products.


… and finally they would ban the use of air conditioning, because they hate global cooling as much as global warming.

Are you thinking what I am thinking? Yep, a liberal paradise just plain stinks!

The modern liberal is pitiable fool whose head is filled with nonsense and junk science. And the biggest fool of all is the man who claims to have invented Internet and has recently published the mother-load of junk entitled “An Inconvenient Truth”.


While his boss was received fellatio in the oval office, Al Gore was busy inventing internet pornography. Thanks to him, every open-source browser is now equipped with a “.xxx doman”, a means to deliver uncensored pornography to liberal teens. Can we really trust his views on the environment?

The irony of this book, is that it contains no truth, and the only inconvenience you may suffer is the puzzle of how to dispose of it without your friends noticing you have unwisely invested in the ramblings of a mad-man. It would be a kindness merely to burn this book, a right we Americans still have (unless the liberals have made even this harmless act illegal).

The heart of Gore’s book is the theory that earth will warm up because of something called “The Greenhouse Effect”, which postulates that carbon-dioxide will cause the earth to warm up. He goes on to explain, that a greenhouse is kept warm because it is full of carbon-dioxide, and if the amount of the chemical in the atmosphere increases then the earth will warm up… just like a greenhouse!

The excellent web-site “Junk Science“, gives this perplexing garbage a thorough debunking. It only remains for us to wonder, what kind of mind would dream up such an outlandish theory. It’s possible that the slight warming we have noticed in recent years is an entirely natural and harmless process; Why must liberals like Al Gore see the bad in everything?

I personally suspect that Mr Gore is suffering from depression, perhaps caused by guilt related to his failure as a vice president. He should perhaps learn to enjoy some of the warmth he so bitterly despises. Perhaps he should spend some time in a real greenhouse. He might even enjoy the fruits of American farmers, as increased sunlight will mean more productive fields and better produce.

Al’s latest book is bound to be a flop, because it is filled with preposterous and unsubstantiated theories from beginning to end. It has been wildly debunked by leading environmental scientists.

Kind Regards,

Tristan

US Citizenship for Jesus Christ : Sign the Petition

Dear Friends:
As we all know, our Lord and Savior will come down from Heaven to save mankind. Surely he will come to the USA first, since this is God’s chosen country. Therefore to give him legal status in America we need to grant him the US-Citizenship!
We can not let him walk around as illegal immigrant and possible be arrested by overeager officers of the department of ‘US Citizenship and Immigration Services’!

I suspect that many of my dear visitors will again suspect that this article is satirical, but I can assure you this is not the case. Whatever you believe, please consider signing this PETITION!

Dear Friends, thank you very much for all your support.

Yours sincerely,
Shelley Goodman
