Guest Post: Why Christians should support SOPA

Friends,

I’m sure many of you who read this blog also read Alexander Cornswalled’s excellent news service. Other than Fox News, and World Net Daily, I can think of few sources of news and current information which are as consistently accurate and Biblically correct. I’d like you all to read and pray upon Mr. Cornswalled’s latest article (which we have reproduced in full here), since it is an important call to arms concerning much needed legislation that once again our liberal enemies are trying to block for their own selfish reasons.

I’d like to add one more point to Alexander’s excellent article – which is that pirated content (mainly pornography and other secular topics) takes up a good deal of American kid’s time. If we were able to stem the flood of disgusting porn we might be able to cultivate more healthy interests. Young kids might spend more time watching Christian television and atoning for their piratical sins. This seems like common sense to use, which is most probably why the libtards will do their best to block it!

Jimmy Goddard

SOPA is the new anti-piracy bill currently being debated by congress. Liberal groups are up in arms over the bill, doing their best to oppose it. Despite extensive protest from internet service providers, pornographers and advocated of “alliterative” moral structures divorced from Biblical standards, the bill marches on. Many people ask “Why?” The answer is simple, because SOPA is good for America. Here’s a quick summary of why:

SOPA returns the Internet to US control.

Originally created for use by the US military, the Internet has become a free-for all, where anyone who can rent server space anywhere in the world can host political propaganda, child pornography, videos advocating genocide and Islamic Jihad. SOPA reasserts US control over a fair hunk of the Internet. If your web site’s URL is registered with a US organization or the IP address is provided by ARIN, SOPA reclaims US authority over piracy using your site and domain. In practice this means the USA can save all .COM, .NET and .ORG domains from the current wild west mentality of “anything goes” It also means all servers hosted in the USA, Canada and most Caribbean nations can be bought under US control.

SOPA cuts off the money stream for pirates.

For web site operators the main motive for pirating software, music and movies is advertising revenue. SOPA lets the US government cut off that revenue, removing the finical motive for the people profiting from piracy.

SOPA makes theft a crime again.

Under current US law, stealing movies, music and software is a civil problem. It’s not considered “theft” even though that’s exactly what it is. SOPA applies criminal penalties to the criminal act of stealing. In so doing it closes a MASSIVE loophole in US law.

SOPA will make web sites do more to police users.

Under current US law, web sites are protected from prosecution over comments or content posted by users. In practice this means Facebook is immune when people use it to swap stolen music. Thousands of Internet forums dedicated exclusively to trading pirated material are immune so long as all the piracy is coming from the users. SOPA will close this loophole, requiring web sites to actually moderate the content they host and delete illegal material. This will have the added bonus of moving more policing to the private sector, requiring fewer government and law enforcement resources to monitor the Internet.

SOPA lets the US finally censor the Internet.

If you don’t play by US rules, your web site will be blocked. Most of the Internet’s major data trunks go through the USA. People visiting a European web site from South America will be relying on cables and servers in the USA for part of the communication. SOPA will let the USA block not just the traffic TO US users, but traffic going THROUGH the USA to other countries. Offending sites will be blocked not just in the USA, but in South America. This means South American web sites can be blocked from being seen by the rest of the world, even if they’re not using a .COM, .NET or .ORG domain name.

For the moment this censorship is limited to piracy, but SOPA leaves the door open for FCC style administration of the Internet. It creates a central reporting agency with broad latitude in blocking offensive and illegal traffic. Pornography sites will be among the first to go, as most of them rely heavily upon at least some pirated content. Taking them down will be the thin edge of the wedge that will eventually let the USA have near complete control over what is and is not allowed on the Internet.

Venezuela will cease to exist outside of South America.

SOPA will let the USA effectively cut Venezuela off, restricting it’s Internet connectivity to other South American nations. Because of the heavy use of the Internet in passing voice traffic this means Venezuela will be unable to communicate with any nation outside of South America by any means beyond physical mail. Not even cell phones would provide a loophole, as that traffic all goes through telecommunications organizations in the USA. How long will the Communist regime in Venezuela survive with it’s ability to communicate with, and thus do business with, nations outside of South America severed?

In summary, SOPA takes the immoral morass of the Internet, and places a large hunk of it under the control of a Christian nation founded on Biblical principals. A good deal of the deviant influences attacking the USA today are based on foreign sources, and blocking them will further aid in rebuilding the moral foundation of the United States of america.

SOPA is good for business and good for the people. It’s a win-win bill, unless of course, you’re a criminal.

Machete – Psycho Illegal Mexican Racist Marihuana-Head

Hello America, if you’re like me you like to spend the weekends relaxing with family and friends enjoying a quiet evening around the pool on the patio with a couple of mint juleps and celebrating what makes the United States the greatest nation in the world. Americans are hands-down the friendliest, nicest, most tolerant and democratic people on planet earth, it’s just the kind of the faults we have and it’s something we here at STR are proud to admit to being. But some sick Hollywood freaks want to stir up some problems where there aren’t any, poking their noses where they’re not wanted and talking about ‘immigration’ and ’causes’ which frankly anyone with half a brain would understand is not America’s fault. I’m talking about the new Robert Rodriguez film “Machete” which has the sick pervert view that deporting smelly lazy dirty brown-beaner illegals is somehow ‘wrong’ morally.

Machete by Robert Rodriguez: while film buffs laud it as being ‘campy’, the reality is that Machete glorifies violence, Mexican homosexuality, illegal immigration, race war, Catholicism and hatred of the true protestant Jesus, and marihuana addiction. Then it gets bad.

With a cast that includes Danny Trejo (?), Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech ‘marihuana junkie’ Marin and Lindsay Lohan as the token white liberal idiot, the film is destined to go nowhere at the box office. Hollywood better learn fast, making a film about some smelly wetbacks isn’t what American’s want to see. The real America is one of tolerance and dignity and democratic values, why can’t the liberal media show that for once? Maybe because Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino hate Christian God-Fearing America almost as much as the illegal immigrants.

Arizona to the Rescue: so what if NAFTA was signed by the Mexicans even though the majority of the population was opposed: the millions of hispanics being displaced as Mexico’s economy is brought in line should stay on their side of the border, simple.

While we here at STR would never advocate racism of any kind we have to make it clear that now’s the time to take a stand: pledge your support for Arizona banning illegal brown-beaners crossing the border like a bunch of cockroaches, and make sure this horrible Machete film never is allowed to be played at a theater near you. America needs more of the good spicanos like Ricky Ricardo, not illegal border-jumping drug-peddling psychopaths.

Always Right,
Charles “Chuck” Roast

You probably will be surprised to read that I approve of this kind of movie. Even though it’s not what God had in mind when He gave us Hollywood, the TCM movie series is solid, suspenseful family entertainment made in America.

The TCM story is based on the Serial Killer Ed Gein, also called the “Ghoul of Plainfield”.

Ed Gein had the unGodly passion for killing, cannibalism and using body parts for entertainment for furniture. He made ashtrays of skulls, bedroom lamps of bones and he used to wear the skin of his victims and pretend he was a woman.

Although the whole plot is quite brutal, I approve of my children watching all the TCM movies because it’s a good way of showing them what Hell and the Lord of Darkness would be like. Just say: “Go to bed or Leatherface is gonna drag you to Hell”, works like a charm every time!

The following are a couple of though for each of the TCM movies:

  • TCM (Original 1974): Unique and shocking was the movie in 1974, for today’s standards it’s rather boring and odd, nevertheless worth watching!
  • TCM2: Dennis Hopping is playing the lead role in this movie. Insiders say that he was addicted to heroin during the this time of his life, that is why he was desperate enough to act in TCM2. Good for us, because he is great!
  • TCM3: My favorite part. Leatherface is fast, furious and brutal beyond belief and yet he is a family man and cares for his mom.
  • TCM4: Very odd movie starring Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. For some reason Leatherface is some kind of faggish drag queen in that movie. The homosexual agenda does not even stop to make America’s favorite monster a fag! Shameful!
  • TCM Remake: Wonderful Micheal Bay/Markus Nispel remake. The plot is more or less based on the original. Beautiful colors and surrounding. God bless Texas!
  • TCM The Beginning: Very disappointing. Although the movie title suggests to explain how Leatherface become a ruthless killer, this is only done during the first 4 minutes of the rolling credits. The rest is nothing new or unique. Shame on Sheldon Turner and Jonathan Liebesman for screwing this one up. They missed the chance to make movie history.


  • Mention of Jesus and Christianity:
  • Sadly, no.
  • Family Value:
  • Very good. Even though they kill, they love and care for each other!
  • Foul Language:
  • Some.
  • Nudity:
  • None.
  • Recommended for:
  • Everybody age 10 & older. (18+ for TCM4!)


    Overall STR Rating:
    75% (Recommended!)

    MOVIE REVIEW – Ben Stein’s “Expelled” – Absolute Must See

    Y’all probably know that I ain’t no big fan of Judaism. Most of them jews are involved in pornography, as our good friend Tony Zirkle recently revealed, but from time to time a decent Jew comes along and tells the truth.

    One of those honest Jews is Ben Stein. This fine upstanding man has created a shocking testament of suppression of free speech and persecution of Religion.

    Thinking folks know that darwinism is a bunch of crap. I ain’t no monkey and I ain’t related to no monkey. I don’t swing from tree to tree and I rarely eat a banana. The notion that my grand grandfather was a monkey is preposterous. God created me in His image. PERIOD.


    Please make sure you go watch the movie “Expelled“. It’s gonna open your eyes. Make sure you bring your children as this will be a wonderful foundation deeper into the subject of Intelligent Design.

    I am very confident that this movie will be the death blow to the fake construct called “Evolution” and “Darwinism”.

    Thanks for reading,
    Shelley N. Goodman

    Mosh Pit? More like Pit of Hell! Lord help us, the Devil owns Yurop’s Youth!

    Friends,
    what is wrong with Yurop? How can the Yurpeens allows the Devil to take possession of their youth?
    Look at them! Look how pathetic, ugly, stupid the Devil’s advocates are.

    No Christian would ever behave like that. Y’all need to stop worshipping the devil and turn to the Lord.
    This ain’t how you get into Heaven.

    Review – Toy Story: I Feel Unclean

    Good Day.

    newton.jpg

    Perhaps a brief word of introduction before I attend to the “meat of the matter”, as some may say.? My name is Newton Wilcox.? I am on the board of Shelley The Republican.? In general, the board prefers to remain behind the scenes but due to some recent unpleasantness I find myself thrust forward into a somewhat more public role.? In the course of working through said unpleasantness I was asked by Shelley Goodman to consider the occasional article for this fine example of Christian and Republican news and commentary.? I do not expect to become a regular gazetteer but I admit that the occasional dabble in wordsmithing piques my interest.

    With that out of the way…

    A recent insightful article by Billy Bob Neck (see Hollywood – America’s Shame) provoked?a pathetically predictable response from the vocal minority that run roughshod over STR.? Naturally, the board supports the conclusions of this article but we do occasionally like to spot check comments made by the wrong-headed opposition to insure that they are “as dumb as they look”, to use a popular phrase.?

    dumbliberal.jpg
    A typical campaign rally for Dennis Kucinich.? Those
    who attend these rallies are generally too high on drugs
    to care about the substance of what is being said.?

    One comment popped out at us by a Mr. Random Aussie/ New Zealander.? While we are suspect of those with dual citizenships, he mentioned a movie that interested us.? “Toy Story”.? Could it be, we thought, that Hollywood consented to produce a documentary on the marvelous One 2 Believe toy company, makers of the Daniel and the Lion’s Den Tales of Glory Figurine Set?? Sadly, no.? This was merely another salvo in Hollywood’s attempt to corrupt the minds of our young people and turn them away from God.? But let me not get ahead of myself.? The board, out of curiosity, asked that I screen the film and report my findings and this I now do.

    one2believe.jpg
    Join the battle for the toy box and drive Satan from
    your child’s life!? One2believe has many toys that will
    teach your child biblical principles.? Click the picture to
    see just how much fun these toys are!

    It is a mixed blessing that our church library does not have a copy of this abomination.? I say “mixed” as it removes the sin of temptation from children grabbing for its brightly colored packaging but as a result of this I was forced, for the first time in my life, to open an account at the local video store.? Despite my reasonable suggestion that, rather than give out personal information, I leave a $100 US Savings Bond I was forced to give them my credit card number (which I immediately reported as stolen in order to “head them off at the pass”).

    Once home, my familty ate supper, prayed??and?my wife and I put our children to bed with strict warning that under no circumstance were they to leave there bedroom.? My wife and I prayed again for guidance and protection from the Lord and proceeded to watch this song of Sodom.

    grace.jpg
    If you’re like most Americans, then you insult God nightly
    by not thanking him for the food He provided for you out
    of the kindness of his heart.? Also, if you are like most
    Americans, you will be going to Hell.

    The hazards of fantasy have been well catalogued on this site.? What is less discussed is adverse effects of animation particularly computer animation.? Time prohibits a full discussion of this but the possibility of the inclusion of Satanic messages increases exponentially when a filmmaker relies not on what can be reproduced in reality but on an “artistic” interpretation of reality.? What’s to prevent a homosexual, for example, from discreetly penciling in a pictures of hardcore homosexual intercourse on every single frame of the film?

    The two main “heroes” of this wickedness are “Buzz” Lightyear and “Woody”.? From this fact alone, the discerning viewer knows to turn the television off.? “Buzz” is drug slang for intoxication.? The character’s name, therefore, implies an almost permanent state of “buzz”.

    Example – “Jackson, I have taken so much marihauna that I will be buzzed for a lightyear but I am unable to stop.”

    This leads the little boy in the film to exclaim at one point, “I’ve lost my Buzz”.? Shameful.

    The other name, “Woody” derives from a base term for a male erection.

    Example – “Lakeesha, your dark chocolate skin is giving me a woody.? I can’t help myself.? Be prepared for a U.S.E.

    To put it another way, the “heroes” represent drug abuse and non-consensual, pre-marital intercourse.? Are these really a proper basis for a children’s movie?? How, I ask you, can that in any way, shape or form be considered appropriate for children?

    your_daughters.jpg
    Both of these unfortunate young women were the
    victims of watching Toy Story as young children.? Now
    they have drug-induced lesbian sex on table tops in
    public.? Heed this warning!

    The other “human” toy appears in the form of Little Bo Peep who in this incarnation emerges as a hyper-sexual woman intent getting as much “Woody” as she can.

    Other toys catalogue present a virtual encyclopedia of sins.

    Pig – gluttony
    Binoculars – voyeurism
    Dinosaurs – a not-so-subtle swipe at Creationism
    Potato – Foul mouthed and judgemental
    Magic 8 Ball – Occultism

    I shan’t bore you with the full list as I believe these examples serve to illustrate the point.

    sds.jpg
    Satanic atheists like nothing better than to trivialize
    the Seven Deadly Sins.? One such gambit is to make sin
    “funny” by issuing items such as these Seven Deadly Sins
    wristbands.? The plastic will sear into your flesh when
    exposed to intense heat, like that found in Hell.

    The basic premise of the film is that toys become human when humans leave the room.? Leaving aside the trauma that this can cause impressionable children (“Mother, my teddy bear wants to kill me”) ponder for a moment who would get pleasure out of giving children such dread?? Jews?? Close.? Satan, is the correct answer.? It is true that, should He wish to, God is more than capable of causing inanimate objects to come to life however He has no cause for such cheap parlor tricks.

    The film opens with a “saloon” fashioned from a cardboard box in the process of getting robbed.? How Christian.? The boy who owns the toys then proceeds to launch into an implausible flight of fancy involving physics, evolution and other scientific principles, the foundations of which have no biblical basis whatsoever.? At this point, my wife’s face went wan and she asked if she may be excused from watching the rest of this profoundly disturbing film.? Would that I had been allowed that option, as well.

    The plot, such as it is, follows a?sick and blasphemous parody of the Cain and Able story with “Woody” unsuccessfully attempting to kill “Buzz”.? Woody spends the rest of the movie in a rescue attempt.? Many reading this might believe that this rescue is a bid for redemption but that is an incorrect assumption.? “Woody” merely rescues “Buzz” to save his own plastic skin.? There is not one iota of the selflessness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to allow us eternal life in Heaven.

    woody.jpg
    I would like to report that this still represents Woody’s
    awakening to his need for the grace and comfort of
    Jesus Christ in his life.? Sadly, this is not the case.

    Recounting the myriad of crimes against God would prove fruitless and dull.? However, one scene stands out in my mind.? At a pizza “joint” filled with electronic games and other traps of the Devil, “Buzz” climbs into a “space ship” believing that it will take him back to his planet.? In reality, the “space ship” is a claw game and inside are alien figures who await the fate of the claw which they deemed to be a god.? This, more than any other part of this “kiddie film” angered me to the point of physical nausea.? The fingerprints of Richard Dawkins loom large over this mockery of the Christian religion.? Even more, these aliens make references to other occult practices by invoking the name of “Nirvana”.

    Toward the end of the film, “Woody” and “Buzz” find themselves captured by the villain, a true and accurate portrayal of the type of Satanist your child will become if you allow them to watch this trash.? Proving that a Christian must have at one time worked on the script before getting fired, the evil and venal boy takes the Jewish name of “Sid”.? “Sid” steals toys and mutilates them into horrific monstrosities.? In a simplistic metaphor, he transforms Good into Evil.? How do “Woody” and “Buzz” escape what should be a fitting end of their own godless lives?? Do they ask God for forgiveness?? Do they witness to the other toys that the “Sid” transfigured?? Do they, like the Christians of old, accept their fate and wait for the jaws of the lion to take them home to the Father?? No.? Instead, they “break a few rules”.? Simply put, they cheat.? How convenient.? Isn’t it any wonder that children no longer listen to their parents and teachers and instead roam the hall of our schools with automatic weapons and a pocket full of condoms?!

    buzz_prison.jpg
    In juvenile detention centers, “Buzz” Lightyear costumes
    are still quite popular especially amongst the so-called
    “whigger” children.? Had their parents not let them
    watch this vile movie, perhaps they would not be
    in jail.

    The movie ends with the two toys turning their backs on their friends and assuming a position of power over them.? Toy pride goeth before a toy fall, but, of course, the viewer would never be shown that part.

    I switched off the TV and prayed.? In His guidance, God instructed me to destroy the DVD so that others might not be infected with Satan’s sting.? The glory of God shone down upon me as I realized I had already cancelled my credit card and?thus could not be charged for it.

    I walked upstairs to find that my wife spent the movie praying for God’s protection over me.? I knelt down to join her and together we prayed down the devil and went to sleep wrapped in a blanket of?God’s Love.
