Torture4Terrorists:

A branch of study dedicated to the accumulation and classification of observable facts in order to formulate general laws about the natural world. Many are [[liberal]] [[atheists]], and their devotion to areas such as [[evolution]] and [[global warming]] raises many [[Christian]] eyebrows, as it resembles the worship of false idols as described in the [[Bible]].

It should also be noted that scientists in the past have believed that it is possible to make gold out of other metals. Scientists have often been incorrect in their assumptions in the past, so thier theories must be taken with a grain of salt.

[[Image:George_w_bush.jpeg|200px|right|]]
'''George Walker Bush''' (born 1946) was the Governor of [[Texas]] (1996-2001) and has served as the [[Republican]] [[President of the United States of America]] since 2001. Campaigning heavily on the notion that the United States should not be in the business of nation-building<ref>http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/debates/transcripts/u221003.html</ref>, He won the office by a narrow margin in the decisive State of [[Florida]]. Legal challenges to the certified vote count went all the way to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in 2000. Democratic contender [[Al Gore]] initially conceded defeat on the night of the election, but then contested the outcome for weeks in the Supreme Court case ''Gore v. Bush''.

In 2004, George W. Bush won reelection by a popular margin of tens of votes, including a 300,000 vote (5%) victory<ref>[http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/SummaryRpt.asp?ElectionDate=11/2/2004&Race=PRE&DATAMODE= Florida Election Records], ''[[Florida Dept. of State]]''</ref> in the State of Florida where the outcome had been so close in 2000. Democratic candidate [[John Kerry]] quickly conceded defeat the day after the election.

For many months after John Kerry conceded the outcome of the 2004 election to George W. Bush, some American [[liberals]] continued to claim that the election had somehow been stolen by voter fraud.

In 2006, the Democratic Party narrowly won control of both Houses of Congress, leaving the final two years of the Bush Administration in a state of [[divided government]].

George W. Bush has spent most of his Presidency focusing on foreign policy issues, namely the war on terror in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the USA. As part of the fight against terrorism, he has instituted regime changes in the countries of [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]]. On January 10, 2007, he said "The situation in Iraq is unacceptable ... Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me".<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16558652/</ref> He is now working tirelessly to end the Iraqi insurgency and stabilize the region.

Many people feel that George W. Bush speaks to God and that he was God's choice to be president during one of the most difficult periods of American history. His faith is universally recognized as being sincere and profound, an increasing rarity among politicians.

Though the liberal media continues to disparage Bush's handling of the economy, they often neglect to report the many aspects of the economy that Bush has improved. For example, during his term Exxon Mobile has posted the largest profit of any company in a signle year, and executive salaries have greatly increased as well [http://www.forbes.com/2005/04/20/05ceoland.html].

George W. Bush is the son of [[George H. W. Bush]], who served as vice-president from 1981 to 1989 and as president from 1989 to 1993.

Karl Rove

2007-03-10T05:32:44Z

Torture4Terrorists:

Karl Rove, born on [[Christmas]], 1950, is the [[Deputy Chief of Staff]] in the [[Bush administration]]. Rove's longtime partnership with [[George W. Bush]] dates back to Bush's terms as [[governor]] of [[Texas]]. Rove ran both of Bush's campaigns for governor and for president.

Rove's track to the top began early, when he dropped out of [[the University of Utah]] to work in the [[College Republican National Committee]]. He quickly demonstrated his political guile, including a daring raid into a [[liberal]] opponent's headquarters . Once inside, Rove stole paper with the man's letterhead, wrote slanderous things on them, and distributed them around town [[[[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/rove072399.htm]]]]. Rove has also used a number of other innovative strategies, which often is focused around attacking the liberals on their moral shortcomings. Rove's clever strategies even have included sending operatives to sort through opponents trash [[Media:http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1165126,00.html]]!

Rove is also one of the people who knows [[Bush]] and reports that Bush is one of the most intellectually gifted [[presidents]] we've ever had. This is further evidence that the characterization of Bush in the liberal media as a bumbling idiot is slanderously untrue.

== Trivia ==

Rove is known as "turd blossom" around the [[White House]], a friendly nickname given to him by [[President Bush]] [http://www.slate.com/id/2122393].

Newt Gingrich

2007-03-10T04:02:02Z

Torture4Terrorists:

Newt Gingrich (born 6/17/1943) is a conservative politician. Gingrich served as Speaker of the House of Representatives, and is generally credited with being the mastermind of the morality-based Republican Revolution of 1994. Gingrich's accomplishments include a number of showdowns with [[President Bill Clinton.]] In one case, Gingrich called Clinton's bluff and shut down the federal government rather than give into Clinton's demands for tax increases. Gingrich also held Clinton's feet to the fire during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, while expertly avoiding criticism for his own marital infidelities [[Media:http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/09/gingrich.schneider/index.html]].

The conservative politician is now thought to be positioning himself for the 2008 presidential race, where he will likely be a good conservative alternative to liberal Republicans like John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.

Global warming

2007-03-10T03:22:07Z

Torture4Terrorists:

'''Global warming''' is a phrase which commonly refers to a scientific theory and to political proposals that follow if the theory is accepted. The scientific theory is widely but not universally accepted within the scientific community. Conservatives who are opposed to the political proposals that flow from acceptance of the theory, are properly skeptical of the motivations of the theorists, and challenge the scientific validity of portions of the theory. The phrase really includes three separate theories.
:1) The theory that we are currently in a period of rapid climate change consisting of increasing temperature, which, if it were to continue, would have important socio-economic consequences well within the next century.
:2) The theory that this change is caused by increasing CO2 gasses and a resulting "greenhouse" effect.
:3) The theory that this change is caused by human activity, mostly industrial emissions of carbon-based "greenhouse gasses."
Therefore, the phrase has also come to apply to
:4) The proposal that global warming can and should be reversed by taking large-scale international action to reduce greenhouse emissions.

Point #1 has become very widely accepted in the past few decades, even by conservatives who were once skeptical.

Points #2 and point #3 are more controversial, although widely accepted by scientists. Points #3 is the one most attacked by global warming skeptics.

Point #4 is what the political and international debate are about. Both climate change itself, and the very large-scale actions that are proposed to combat it, would have enormous economic effects with identifiable winners and losers, resulting in an intense debate. For example, since the industrialized nations emit most of the CO2, if it were agreed that these emissions needed to be reduced sharply, the burden would fall much more heavily on these nations than on undeveloped nations.

Al Gore, Vice President under President Clinton from 1992 to 2000, is a high profile advocate of the full global warming theory. Promoters of this theory, including many prominent scientists, call for international treaties, like one proposed in Kyoto, Japan, to limit carbon emissions using a combination of conservation and technological innovation.

The theory is widely accepted within the scientific community despite a lack of any conclusive evidence, though that is not to say there is no evidence at all.<ref>Myths of Global Warming[http://www.ncpa.org/ba/ba230.html]</ref><ref>No Evidence for Global Warming[http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed012298b.cfm]</ref> On February 2, 2007, an internatonal panel of hundreds of scientists and representatives of 113 governments issued a report concluding:
:The observed widespread warming of the atmosphere and ocean, together with ice-mass loss, support the conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global climate change of the past 50 years can be explained without external forcing, and very likely that is not due to known natural causes alone."<ref>Borenstein, Seth (2007), "Warming 'Likely' Man-Made, Unstoppable." Associated Press, as published by Forbes[http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/02/02/ap3388409.html]</ref>

It should be noted that these scientists are motivated by a need for grant money in their field of climatology. Therefore, their work can not be considered unbiased, though no more than any scientist in any other field .<ref>FOX News: "On Global Warming: Follow the Money Indeed!" Feb 12, 2007[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,251458,00.html]</ref>. Also, these scientists are mostly liberal athiests, untroubled by the hubris that man can destroy the Earth which God gave him.<ref>Gloval Warming & Evolution[http://atheism.about.com/b/a/238739.htm]</ref> Scientists have also been wrong about many things in the past. They even usd to think that gold could be made from other metals. This means that anything that scientists say must be taken with a grain of salt.

There are some scientists among the critics of the theory that global warming is caused by human activity. For example, Dr. Fred Singer observed that "CO2 changes have lagged about 800 years behind the temperature changes. Global warming has produced more CO2, rather than more CO2 producing global warming."<ref>S. Fred Singer and Dennis T.
Avery, "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007)</ref> Though, it must be said, that no scientist denies that CO2 has lagged behind temperature at certain times in Earth's history. They maintain this doesn't negate in any way CO2 influence on temperature. It merely means it wasnt a first cause of temperature increase at particular times in Earths distance history.."<ref>What the lag of CO2 behind temperature in ice cores tell us about global warming

Joseph McCarthy

2007-03-10T03:17:14Z

Torture4Terrorists:

Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was a Republican US senator who is best know for prosecuting communists within America during the [[Cold War]].

McCarthy is known to liberals as a mad man. This is due to the argument that, although McCarthy was right about Communist spies in the US, he could not have known about them at the time that he claimed he did.

"[[McCarthyism]]" is a term thrown around to describe an anti-Communist hysteria in the US during the cold war. While there were really communist spies in the US at the time, liberals defend them on the grounds that they think McCarthy and US intelligence were lying when they said they knew about the communist spies. This is because the evidence against the communists wasn't made public until later. Liberals sometimes talk about McCarthyism in refrence to the terrorists being held in Guantanamo Bay. They say that the government needs to extend the writ of habeus corpus to the terrorists even though they were known terrorists because they were caught in the Middle East.

McCarthy revealed in a famous speech that he had a list of known communists that had jobs in government. McCarthy did not want to disclose any names, but Democrats demanded furiously that he did. When McCarthy did give in and disclose the names, the Democrats were further upset that he did so.

Mitt Romney

2007-03-10T03:11:12Z

Torture4Terrorists:

'''Willard Mitt Romney''' (born 1947, goes by Mitt), served as the governor of [[Massachusetts]] from 2002 to 2006 and is a Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election. If elected, he will become the first Mormon president. Currently, Romney is gaining popularity becuase his stable marriages attract conservative audiences who are unhappy with John McCain, Rudolph Giulliani, and Newt Gingrich's many divorces. The irony that the Mormon has been married the least times of all the candidates was pointed out by Romney's wife, Ann, who said the difference between her husband and the other candidates is that "he's had only one wife."[[Media:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070224/ap_on_el_pr/romney_polygamy]]
