			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friends,</p>
<p>You may have heard of the new TV show &#8220;My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic&#8221; &#8211; this series is aimed at young girls. According to the liberal-biased encyclopedia Wikipedia, &#8220;The show has been critically praised for its humor and moral outlook&#8221; &#8211; but is that really the case? Recently Shelley Goodman and I watched a few episodes of this series and found a great deal that responsible pro-family parents should be concerned about.</p>
<div align="center"><img class="size-full wp-image-6721 aligncenter" title="240px-My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic_logo.svg" src="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/240px-My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic_logo.svg_.png" alt="" width="240" height="295" /></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>STR Fact-Sheet</strong>: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is an animal-fantasy animation series aimed at girls aged 5 to 12. Originally launched in the 1980s, it has become popular again due to strong artistic direction and and more &#8220;edgy&#8221; themes. We feel that viewer caution should be advised, especially in the case of young children who have not yet been re-born in Christ. The show includes troubling themes such as the occult, paganism and witchcraft.</p></blockquote>
<p>The show tells the story of six &#8220;ponies&#8221; and their various adventures. Anybody who has spent time working with livestock will confirm that these are unrealistic depictions of horses and ponies. Were the lack of realism the only problem we would have no objections to allowing this show on TV, however we found a great many more issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>The depiction of ponies in this series is un-biblical. According to the Bible (Gen 1:26) man has been given dominion over all beasts (including ponies), and thus the portrayal of these worker-animals as talking intelligent creatures with their own will and personality is clearly in contradiction to God&#8217;s teaching.  We would have preferred to see a more realistic portrayal of God&#8217;s creation, for example showing young men and women working the land with their ponies just as God intended. As everybody knows, Man (created in God&#8217;s image) is the only life on earth born with a soul, and capable of moral reasoning. To suggest that ponies might also have souls undermines the entire basis of the Christian Bible.</li>
</ul>
<div align="center"><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM8nX2LfiAk"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/rM8nX2LfiAk/2.jpg"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM8nX2LfiAk">Click here</a> to view the video on YouTube.</p>
</div>
<blockquote><p>Disturbing- is this show suitable for yong girls?</p></blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The show is created by a young woman named Lauren <strong>Faust</strong> &#8211; if that names seems familiar to you it should be: According to legend, Faust was the name of the person who sold his soul to the devil in return for great wealth and power. It&#8217;s highly probable that Satan has chosen Ms Faust to be his modern-day emissary of evil. The signs are clear.</li>
<li>From what we can tell, the ponies do not seem to have any belief in God. There was not one single reference to Christianity, Jesus or the Holy Bible in any of the episodes we watched. There were countless references to paganism, the occult and black-magic. We are concerned that watching this show might encourage young girls to experiment with the dark arts. We advise any parents who suspect their child has seen this show to consult their pastor.</li>
</ul>
<div><a href="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tumblr_lxn5ujj1xC1qjhttjo1_1280.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6725" title="tumblr_lxn5ujj1xC1qjhttjo1_1280" src="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tumblr_lxn5ujj1xC1qjhttjo1_1280.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></div>
<blockquote>
<div>Typical female My Little Pony fans: Is this an acceptable way for a young woman to dress?</div>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>While ponies are certainly real animals, and unicorns definitly did exist (Job 39:9-12), &#8220;Pegasus Ponies&#8221; appear to be a creature found only in ancient greek pagan religions. We do not understand why Hasbro felt the need to include this obviously false pagan hogwash other than to cause further confusion in the minds of young girls.</li>
<li>The show presents a biblically incorrect cosmology. Starting with the very first episode it claims that the sun and the moon&#8217;s motion is caused by a pair of winged unicorns. This is wrong as the Bible states that the motion of the planets is due to God&#8217;s will alone.</li>
<li>The show is socialist: Various ponies appear to practice trades (for example Pinkie-Pie is a baker, Rarity is a seamstress and Twilight Sparkle is an occultist), and yet they do not appear to charge for their services (even the satanic Ms Sparkle), this is a model of a communist society envisaged by Marx. There&#8217;s no money or entrepreneurship. Is this an acceptable role model for young girls?</li>
<li>In a number of episodes the Pegasus Pony Rainbow-Dash is seen controlling the weather. Young people should know that only God has the power to influence our environment (Psalms 148:8, Jonah 1:4). This is yet another blatant lie intended to corrupt American girls.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/830px-RainbowDashRainboom.png"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6718" title="830px-RainbowDashRainboom" src="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/830px-RainbowDashRainboom.png" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Who controls the weather? Most leading scholars agree that only God can control storms &#8211; however this show wants us to believe that a blue pony has God&#8217;s power!</p></blockquote>
<p>If these were the only faults in the series, I might conclude that Hasbro were ignorant dupes however there is a great deal more to be concerned with. In Episode 23 &#8220;The Cutie Mark Chronicles&#8221; three young ponies calling themselves &#8220;The Cutie Mark Crusaders&#8221; go on a quest to find a magical picture for their hind-quarters. The fact that they have called themselves &#8220;Crusaders&#8221; is ironic given that their quest seems to have nothing to do with Christ! Any child viewing this episode might conclude that our savior died so that you can have a tatoo on your your butt!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CutieMarkCrusadersfirstmeet.png"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6719" title="CutieMarkCrusadersfirstmeet" src="http://ShelleyTheRepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CutieMarkCrusadersfirstmeet.png" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The Cutie-Mark Crusaders? If they are not crusading for Christ, then who? This is a question that all responsible parents should ask.</p></blockquote>
<p>We found this show very disappointing &#8211; as with any product from the liberal media you should never believe the hype. Time and time again the show&#8217;s producers passed up the opportunity to deliver a moral message grounded in Biblical values in favor of cheap entertainment. We do not doubt the show&#8217;s popularity amongst secular audiences however they have a great deal more work to do if they want to create something as successful as  the excellent <a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/Veggie_Tales">Veggie-Tales</a>.</p>
<p>If only this were not the most disturbing aspect of the show: It may seem astonishing and implausible but there is a growing group of older male fans of this show. They call themselves &#8220;Bronies&#8221; &#8211; many of the web-resources dedicated to the show are built by these bronies in order to attract more children to the show. While there are no doubt some male fans who enjoy the show for their own personal reasons, we should all be suspicious of a grown men who watch cartoons!</p>
<p>What can you do to stop My Little Pony:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ask your children whether they have seen this cartoon &#8211; if they have read from the instructive Bible passages referenced above to correct any misconceptions they may have learned from the show.</li>
<li>Explain to your daughter that ponies do not have souls &#8211; they are merely beasts of burden. Explain that it is sinful and unbiblical to think otherwise. Help your children understand what real ponies are like: Take them to a farm or your local petting zoo. Explain to your child that real ponies were created by God, not Lauren Faust!</li>
<li>Warn your children away from older men who like My Little Pony &#8211; they are almost certainly pederasts or perverts. Explain to your kids that if they ever meet a &#8220;brony&#8221; they are to tell a responsible adult such as your pastor or a fellow church-going parent.</li>
<li>Whenever you see an episode of this cartoon on the Internet, &#8220;Flag&#8221; it as harmful. Do whatever you can to get this content off the internet.</li>
<li>And most importantly: <strong>Prayer</strong> &#8211; together with Jesus we can get this sick filth of the TV</li>
</ul>
<p>Yours in Christ,</p>
<p>James Goddard Jr</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folks you may have heard about the dangers posed to Christian America by the &#8216;Dungeons &#038; Dragons&#8217; addicts. At STR we&#8217;ve stepped-up and <a href="http://shelleytherepublican.com/2008/03/08/gary-gygax-dies-goes-to-hell.aspx">proven the dangers that &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; addiction can have</a>, by destroying children, their families, and all their friends and loved ones through it&#8217;s subliminal Satanist messages. But what a lot of people don&#8217;t know is that &#8216;Dungeons &#038; Dragons&#8217; has been trying to harm our children for a long time now. In fact this early &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; report on the dangers of fantasy gaming and &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; went a long way in showing the world how morally corrupting this &#8216;game&#8217; can be.</p>
<div align="center">
<object width="450" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XbcWKWp2UE4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XbcWKWp2UE4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="350"></embed></object>
</div>
<blockquote><p><b>60 Minutes D&#038;D Expose (part 1):</b> in this 1985 shocker, the investigative journalist television show &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; takes on and exposes the hard facts about the &#8216;Dungeons &#038; Dragons&#8217; death cult. </p></blockquote>
<p>Did the &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; show accomplish what it set out to? Yes, there&#8217;s no doubt that &#8216;Dungeons &#038; Dragons&#8217; is a dangerous game chock-full of subliminal messages designed to destroy the moral sanctity of the Christian family. Filled with demons, and dragons, and dragon-demons and drugs and role and gender-swapping, &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; is a moral cesspit that is essentially a gateway straight to Hell.</p>
<div align="center">
<object width="450" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3lN0nrrynb8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3lN0nrrynb8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="350"></embed></object>
</div>
<blockquote><p><b>60 Minutes D&#038;D Expose (part 2):</b> not only did &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; prove the disturbing behavior &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; addicts have, they were able to convert several members of the D&#038;D gang to Christianity after showing them the error of their ways.</p></blockquote>
<p>At STR we found that of the 12 teenagers who were filmed in this show playing &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; 5 have since murdered people and are serving indefinite sentences, 3 are addicted to marihuana and are living as junkies on the streets, another 3 have have sex-change operations and only 1 (who repented and became a Christian) managed to find work and successfully complete high school. Just because this televised program is from 1985 doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not completely pertinent today: all the same terrible scenarios mentioned in this program are happening across America right now. If you or your loved ones play Dungeons &#038; dragons do the right thing, just stop participating and burn all your &#8216;monster manuals&#8217;. Better yet, next time your friends want to play &#8216;D&#038;D&#8217; show-up but bring the only &#8216;manual&#8217; they&#8217;ll ever need to read: the Bible!</p>
<p>Always Right,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friends,</p>
<p>The other day my daughter had some of her friends sleeping over. I noticed to my horror that one of the kids had brought a pint of Ben and Jerry&#8217;s Ice-cream. &#8220;Young girl&#8221;, I asked sternly, &#8220;where did you get this from?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;From the Mall,&#8221; She replied &#8211; &#8220;I saved up my week&#8217;s allowance so we could all share it&#8221;.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://shelleytherepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/4845_m_w_300png.jpeg"/></div>
<p>Obviously these kids had not read the news about the abomination and travesty of the constitution which had been unleashed in the formerly great-state of Vermont. I undertood that these kids need to keep their innocence until the day they are married, but just then Jesus helped me realize how I could teach these young girls a powerful life-lesson that they would remember for the rest of their lives.</p>
<p>&#8220;Give me that tub of ice cream&#8221;, I said to the young girl, &#8220;So tell me about this stuff?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s got chocoloate and cones -&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And nuts and vanila&#8221;, chimed in another girl.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s real tasty&#8221;, said a third, &#8220;can we have it back?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not just yet &#8211; now let me just set the ice-cream down here. Kids, do you know where this stuff is made?&#8221;, I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vermont&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, that&#8217;s right &#8211; it comes from a place far away in the north-east called Vermont where only a few weeks ago they ruled that homosexuals should be given the right to marry just like your mommy and daddy. That means in the state of vermont they all think your mommy and daddy are queers&#8230; so lets just heap a bunch of these cigarette butts into your ice-cream to represent the faggots and homos who are fornicating in that corrupted state&#8221;</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://shelleytherepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ash_tray.jpg"/></div>
<p>&#8220;Next, just think about all the sinfulness that&#8217;s going on right now in Vermont. I can just imagine Jesus looking down and seeing all that sin going on and shedding a tear. Molly, wont you fetch me that cat-litter tray? I&#8217;m going to add a heap of this dirty cat-litter to the ice-cream to represent all the sin and godlessness in Vermont&#8221;</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://shelleytherepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cat_litter_box.jpg"/></div>
<p>&#8220;Finally, take a look at the fellow on the carton &#8211; I ain&#8217;t going to say his name just in case you kids get crazy ideas, but let me just say that he went on TV and mocked George W. Bush, the greatest president that ever lived. Suzie, what do you call a fellow who betrays his president at a time of war?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Uh&#8230; a rat?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Exactly!&#8221;</p>
<p>And with that I fetched up the remains of a rat which the cat had dragged into our house that morning, placing it on top of the cigarette-buts, dirty kitty-litter and the melting ice-cream.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://shelleytherepublican.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/rat.jpg"/></div>
<p>&#8220;So girls, do you want your ice-cream back?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No way mister Goddard&#8221; they all cried in unison &#8211; they had truly learnt their lesson. But have you? What would you say if an aquaintance of yours offered you a scoop of Ben and Jerry&#8217;s ice cream? Would you eat it or reject it? According to the Bible the correct thing to do is to thow it in the garbage:</p>
<p>Next time somebody offers you a scoop of Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s vermont Ice-Cream, imagine they just asked to sodomize you and your kids while videoing it for a &#8220;gay interest&#8221; channel watched by French homos . Then tell them what you think about it.</p>
<p>Yours in Christ,</p>
<p>Jimmy Goddard</p>
