It sounds so innocuous, wonderful, affirming. Most people want to be on the side of life. In Republican circles where it is very commonplace to find ignorant masses repeating rhetoric and sticking to ideals that they have no clue about, this phrase will get them going everytime. It lends them credence, lets them know that they are doing the “Lord’s” work.

They must then see those that don’t believe as they do and whom they oppose on many issues as being from the opposite culture, thus Liberals, atheists, gays, Democrats, and anyone else who is different are from the Culture of Death. Oooooh this sounds like we’re getting ready for an intergalactic war huh?

Not quite. Unlike our Republican friends we are willing to look beyond overused phrasing and see each side for what it truly is. When you strip away the armor of false advertising you are left with the side that wants us to give up our civil liberties in the name of safety, the side that does not want to see this nation’s children provided with necessary health care, the side that is not willing to spend an extra cent on the people of our country, the side that continuously allows corporations and the elite to feed off the backs of our working class, the side that sees nothing wrong with torturing and killing people as long as it is done in the name of their god or the war on terror, and the side that wants to continue the oppression of people with different colored skin, different sexual orientation or identity, or different religious beliefs.

Then there is the other side. The ones who wants to ensure that our children are insured, use diplomacy instead of weapons to solve international issues, promote education and knowledge to reduce the instances of STDs and unwanted pregnancies(thus abortions), make sure that our justice system is brought out of the Dark Ages and errs on the side of human life, work to bring jobs back to America so that our families can afford to support themselves, and many other life affirming values.

So which side describes themselves as the Culture of Life? The ones that in any other context would be the villains of a fairy tale. What’s worse is that they are extremely convinced that their god gives them the right to behave in this manner, to push their beliefs onto the nation as a whole. It is this mindset that has made the United States and international laughingstock and has other countries viewing us as an enemy of freedom.

The Right is exceptionally good at using language to manipulate their followers and others into believing what they want them to. It’s time that we call them on it and demand that they call themselves what they really are. The Culture of Hatred, Intolerance, Bigotry, Discrimination, Ignorance, and Murder.

So why is it that the liberals hate freedom and liberty so much that they keep nominating people not named General Petraeus to the Nobel Prize Committee? First it was Al Gore with his Peace Prize for inventing “global warming”; now three guys with some economic “theories” win the Nobel Prize for economics.

What is with all these theories? Aren’t theories’ just another way of saying they are guessing? It’s like the theory of evolution, or the theory that man is causing the world to warm up, or the theory of relativity. All made up scientific gobble-de-gook made to scare people into the arms of big science. Seriously people, if theories were facts then they would be in the bible. As we all know the bible is all true (even the contradictory parts) and I challenge anyone to find a single theory in there. Anyone who says there are theories in the bible is lying. I rest my case.

Here are the categories and winners for the 2007 Nobel Prize, look at how these liberals have passed over General Petraeus not once, not twice, but every stinking time. Even the physics award should have gone to General Petraeus. However he values national security so much he withdrew from that category to allow someone else to have a chance. But instead of getting 5 Nobel Prizes the socialists at the Nobel Prize Foundation snubbed him because they hate the freedom he represents.

Physics – Won by two guys for developing Giant Magnetoresistance. Now we have all seen X-Men and Magneto is pretty damn scary so I don’t dispute the need for any size of Magneto Resistance. The bigger the better I always say. But the X-Men beat Magneto and locked him in a secret prison made of plastic. I think it’s Guantanamo, just one more reason to keep it open.

Fine, these two guys can keep their Nobel Prize even though their invention came too late to save the Golden Gate Bridge. Better late than never I guess. Besides, General Petraeus isn’t greedy, he can let someone win one of the Nobel Prizes.

Chemistry – Gerherd Ertl won for “his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces”. He is just riding the coat tails of General Petraeus who performed the same experiments with the depleted uranium rounds fired by the U.S. Army. The results of Petraeus’ experiments, Freedom.

Psychology or Medicine – Three guys won it for some stem celled research with mice. Great, just what we need, healthier mice. I fail to see how this compares to the literally millions of people who have been treated for injuries in Iraq, even with less doctors. Just by sheer volume General Petraeus wins this one hands down.

Literature – While General Petraeus’ report to congress was not literally written down, or even written by General Petraeus, one cannot deny that it is the single most important piece of literature this year. Why they chose Doris Lessing for her “female experience” is beyond comprehension. Just more proof that the feminists are taking away the rights of white males.

Peace – Don’t get me started on Al “Mr. O-Zone” Gore. All he has done is promoted understanding of global warming in an attempt to save the planet. How does this do anything for peace? Wouldn’t the planet be much more peaceful if we all died? General Petraeus has spread freedom, democracy, liberty, and peace throughout the entire Middle East while at the same time personally prevented any terrorist attacks on US soil. If it wasn’t for the liberal hippies in the media you would all know that already!

Economics – I have already talked about these guys’ “theory”. Well because of General Petraeus a small group of soldiers, snipers, attack helicopters, and a couple politicians can safely enjoy an afternoon shopping spree in a market just like the ones in Indiana. Seriously, can mechanism design theory get you 5 rugs for 5 bucks? I think not.

So I am officially putting the Nobel Prize Foundation, and everyone who won a Nobel Prize on the sinners list until they give General Petraeus the recognition he deserves. I’m calling them out, if they love freedom more than they love their pagan liberal gods, they will do the right thing and give General Petraeus those prizes.
