Cafepress.com Censors The People's Cube

On Oct. 9th I created a section in my Cafepress.com online store with T-shirts featuring a black and white picture of a hairy skull wearing a beret and a caption saying, "Che is dead, get over it." On the following day Cafepress removed these products from my store even though someone has already ordered and paid for a shirt. They referred to copyright infringement as an excuse. I understand and respect the copyright law, but did I really violate it? Here's my letter to Cafepress. Dear Content Usage Associate, A picture of a hairy skull in a beret that I drew myself as an artist can not be an infringement of anyone's copyright. I assure you it isn't even Che Guevara's skull. It was a plastic skull purchased at a 99c store with a "Made in China" tag. While it is plausible that the Chinese Communists engage in subliminal export of revolution through millions of Che's plastic skulls, this one is more likely to be one of those Asian midget skulls since it was only about 2" in diameter.

~

In any event, the skull that I drew has no resemblance to Che's face and I can prove it in court if necessary. My image is a hint, an allusion to a certain social spectacle happening around a crude poster which itself is not even the famous photograph you must be referring to, but a derivative from it. An idea cannot be copyrighted, and neither can a social phenomenon. My allusion is not an infringement but an exercise in free speech. By prohibiting me to make such an allusion you are not protecting the copyright law - you are protecting the very social spectacle to which my image is offensive. Thus you are engaging in political censorship and obstruction of my freedom of speech. The anti-business parody of Burger King logo below on Cafepress is based on the same approach as my anti-Che parody. Why are you selling this one and censor mine? What about this lineup of explicit allusions to trademarks and corporate logos found on Cafepress.com? CLick on the images to see the actual products. Now please tell me if I'm infringing on anyone's copyright with this image: Let's go to New York's Union Square for a moment. Did the creators of this Killer-Cola poster violate copyright law by recreating the look and feel of a Coke ad - and do they have to pay Coca-Cola for using their trademark in this anti-Coca-Cola poster? Because it is exactly the same approach I used in my drawing. How about this anti-capitalist satire of the US flag - we've seen a lot of those in communist-organized protest marches in New York. Are its creators and manufacturers in violation of any law? Did they need to request permissions from each company whose logo they used - and did they pay the respective companies for the use of their logo in their anti-business propaganda? Now let's go to Cafepress.com's political page which is littered with rampant examples of direct use of other people's images and art - most of them rabidly anti-Republican and some anti-American. No copyright protection there. On the contrary, such images are being encouraged and promoted by such prominent placement. In your legal department some pictures must be more equal than others. Just a few examples: Stolen from www.whitehouse.gov Has the photographer been paid yet? Stolen from this poster of Lenin created by an underpaid Soviet propaganda artist You feature plenty of crude and obscene images disparaging America and its leaders - but it is only the disparaging treatment of a communist butcher that triggers your legal defense mechanism. You had similarly censored Che-Mart.com, Aaron's blog, and others. Are you personally offended by disrespectful treatment of mass murderer Che - or is it Cafepress.com's policy of political censorship in favor of dead communists? Going forward, does any black and white posterized non-Che face wearing a beret becomes in your view an infringement of said copyright? If I were to make a black and white poster of George Bush in a beret, would you promote it as a worthy original image? As a private business you certainly have the freedom to choose what products to sell. But then you must also openly admit that Cafepress.com is run by biased individuals who would rather lose money in sales than make an anti-Che product. If you are a public corporation, you owe such a disclaimer to shareholders, otherwise you are in breach of fiduciary duty to them. That would be an honest and accurate disclaimer I could respect. And if you are not honest enough to say it yourself, I will do it for you. My web site is visited by thousands of conservative users who will be well-advised to stay away from purchasing anything at Cafepress in the future. That is, of course, if you do not reconsider your decision, apologize, and restore my original image of the hairy skull in beret. Come on, Che is dead, get over it! I'd like to finish by quoting one of the T-shirts you prominently display on Cafepress.com: Sincerely, Comrade Red Square

 

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
 

Completely 0wn3d.
 

I wish there was a company like Cafepress that would not be run by such big ideological hacks. I'm sure a lot of people are saying that. Where there's a demand, there must be a supply. There's a big chance conservative sellers will desert Cafepress for such a new company.

I'd be willing to be part in such a project (design and programming) if anyone wants to take on the business and the technological part of it. There's money to be made!

OMG that was so awesome I was pissing my collective self over it.  I'm still having trouble typing without giggling.  It so undeniably demonstrates the "Anti-Censorship" movement for what it is.   Great job!

Red you p0wned those assholes...well done! I'm sure they put up a non-sensical, Charlie Rangel-esque argument...or not...f*ck 'em if they can't take a joke (as they say here in The People's State of Texas).

I didn't realize CafePress had Susan Sarandon doing the iron-ons.

To hell with those lefty douche bags.  

(Although I did like the shirt with Lenin saying 'Where my bitches at?'  That one was pretty good.)
 

CafePress are rank amateurs when it comes to repression and totalitarianism.
They have not yet purchased their first "Black Marias" for rounding up of non-conformists (this will come -be patient comrades. GSorearse will transfer monies soon for such purposes).
A t-shirt stating their puerile efforts -in their language of the useful idiots of Northern Amerika - should be worn by all.
"Cafe Press - Owned and Operaated by Socially Responsible Facists"
All capitalists monetary units go towards the suit on grounds of First Amendment infringement -or some such Freedom nonsense (hire real lawyers - not "ours" from Amerikan Communist Lawyers' Union- we have trained these to specialize in direct civic agitation methods and they are therefore ill prepaired for real legal work involving capitalistic endeavors).
C.P. are Mussoliniest-imposter-counter-revolutionaries posing as true communists. Haul them before the Peoples Court - immediately.
Purge them from your "favorites/bookmarks" at once!
 

I really wish these leftist Cafepress bastards weren't the only game in town! On the other hand, they probably don't even think of themselves as leftists, they've been schooled by "progressive" professors to think that way. For them, liberalism is also the only game in town, and it's not even their fault. The next time someone asks me how liberalism in the media and academia affects me personally and why I'm so against it, I'll have a concrete story to tell.

I imagine they're the few remaining non-aborted children of Clinton's Internet bubble, born in the times when millions of dollars were pouring into the pockets of anyone who wasn't lazy enough to open a business in Silicon Valley. To set up a comparable competing business today would cost a lot of dough but I'm sure it's doable.
 

I like AgitpropCentral's idea to sell a t-shirt on Cafepress that makes fun of Cafepress. Or would they ban you from their sight for that?
 

We were right about Cafepress - just look what they advertise on CafePress Wire! (and scroll down)

http://www.cafepress.com/shop/wire/brow ... xis/700709


 

Heads up - this image is a photoshopped parody of the one above.

Aren't they morally equivalent though? But however evil, Fascists didn't even come close to Communists in the numbers of people they had robbed, butchered, and starved to death. Yet Cafepress thinks it's fun to advertise "Communism Kids T-Shirt" So how about "Fascism Kids T-Shirt"?

This has been a chronic problem.  CafePress has an agenda or a business model that caters to leftists.  They are a bain on the lucrative and influential T-shirt market!
 

RS: you are not the first conservative blogger to have trouble with CafePress (too bad they already shipped my People's Cube hat - I'd cancel). Go to thoseshirts.com; I think they will be more sympathetic.
 

OK, comrades... On popular demand I created two anti-Cafepress designs, and set up a new section in my Cafepress online store, named Cafepress is a left-wing nutjob.

The original designs used the exact image of Cafepress logo, only the color was different and the star on top also had the hammer and sickle emblem in it. The designs were banned as soon as I uploaded them. I only did what other Cafepress users did to Burger King, McDonals, Coca-Cola, Fox News, and Wal-Mart. But the Cafepress people wouldn't allow me to do the same with their logo. They just banned it. I changed the font and the appearance of the word "Cafepress" and then it passed.

Let's see how long this section lasts. It would be fun if someone actually buys anything with those designs, forcing Cafepress to produce items that describe them as communist monkeys and left-wing nutjobs.

Here are the designs, you can also see them in the store:





SAMPLE PRODUCT:

Holy Sh*t!!!  Talk about hypocritical, check out what else their selling...

http://www.cafepress.com/shop/wire/brow ... xis/700081

Thanks for the tip, comrade drtampon. Indeed, it's not only some seller doing it - it's their own STORE PROMOTION!!!

Have you seen a more blatant hypocrisy?




These are the people who ban every anti-Che design on the grounds that it somewhat resembles Che's famous photograph. Che's late Cuban photographer named Korda stated that he didn't want money for using Che's photo to promote communism, but he objected to its use to denigrate Che's image and ideas. In 2000 Korda won an out-of-court settlement of about $50,000 in a suit against Smirnoff for using Che's picture in vodka ad campaign - with the help of Western leftist lawyers, of course. Today Korda's daughter who lives in France owns the copyright for Che's photo and is collecting money for its use. Che's daughter who lives in Cuba is also sniffing around for some cash in lawsuits.

See more on this in the People's Blog: http://www.thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=313

Again, she can copyright a photo - but not an idea, not the look and feel.

A quote from the above link: "Lawyers say it will be an uphill struggle to deter non-photographic use of such a widely reproduced image, other than in countries like Italy where laws protect image rights."

As a result we have this absurd situation - only a "progressive" (pro-communist) use of the image is tolerated (see below), but an anti-Che and anti-communist use is verboten. It is not the issue of copyright; it is the issue of free speech and leftist censorship. Specifically, my satirical speech is prohibited by Cafepress which itself claims to be in the business of satire.

I think that such absurdity can only be resolved with a major well-publicized lawsuit.


Who is the ugly chick on the bag and boxers. She should sue CafePress for defamation. I can't read what it says underneath. What an unflattering portrait. Any idea who she is comrades?

UPDATE:

My online store named "Cafepress is a left-wing nutjob" lasted less than half an hour before it was purged by Cafepress. I'm writing them a letter demanding an explanation as to which particular usage guideline I violated. Stay tuned.
 

We must purge all members of Cafepress....

Found him slumped across the table.
A gun and me alone
I ran to the window. Looked for a plane or two
Panic at Cafe Press.
He'd left me an autograph

Comrade Red Square,

 I think we need your picture in a beret.  I sense a small revolution coming over this matter.

 I'm thinking about joining Daily Kos and posting your cafepress story.  After all, they feartured the story about the Lady in the Meet the F***ers T-shirt that was asked to change flights by Southwest.  An ACLU lawyer even had this to say.

Quote:

McInnis says Southwest rules allow the airline to deny boarding to any passenger whose clothing is offensive. But American Civil Liberties Union officials say Heasley's T-shirt is "protected" political speech under the Constitution.


I wonder where she got that shirt?  Anyone want to browse Cafepress to see if they have it?  So, since the ACLU is so eager to get involved with protected speech on T-shirts that feature parodies of copywrited images, I'm sure they would be ever so happy to represent Comrade Red Square as well, right?

I'll let you know the results of my Daily Kos exercise.  If nothing else I should have a ton of flame posts to share.

C-press continues the glorius covert struggles against jumping pig oilmen and internet capitalists.

They continue the subtle promotion of heros of our Great Distopia - like J.F.Chej.

Beware article such as this one (link) which claim to tell the real story of the Chej and our agitprop organs of past and present are not true revolutionary communists!!!


http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Re ... p?ID=19823
 

Chej is the Peoples' hero. He gave hope and purpose to murderous sociopaths for generations to come. He made our work acceptable -even to the non-communist mSM of propaganda tool of the west. He said it best: "...I really like killing..."
Where would I be without his fine examples allowing me to immolate - er I mean emulate him?
I only hope - after all is said and done - I too may have my head on t-shirts worn by hot western chicks (preferably virgins) and marketed by slick socialist via internet.
The Peeps will decide! And if not - well watch your necks!!!

That is a great article.  So completely different from the liberal claptrap I normally force myself to ingest.  Well written and well researched.  Most of the crap I read from the left is written by cliched spewing bafoons who use expletives ad-nauseum to disguese their lack of content.  If I sent that to a few I know, I don't think they would have the patience to read it.  If they did, they would likely send me a one sentance rebuttle.  "Bush is still a Moron."

From massively opiated
And here's my letter to Cafepress.com on your behalf...


Having recently discovered cafepress.com and the wonderful products available through your various associates, I've been excitedly compiling a list of Christmas/Chanukah/Quanza/Festivous/Noodley Tentacle Day/Solstice/Stalin's birthday gifts for friends and family... until I saw this...
http://www.thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=309 ... and I will now be informing every associate I planned to purchase gifts from (it woulda come out to just over $2,000.00 Canadian worth of purchases) that I cannot support cafepress.com associates given cafepress' ludicrous lack of fairness, based on some lame excuse citing fallacious legal BS.

You screwed an associate because you didn't agree with their political satire, though you allow similar products to be sold (http://www.cafepress.com/shop/wire/brow ... xis/700081).  Does the same erroneous... flawed... inaccurate... misinformed... damn.. what's the word I'm looking for?.. specious (no), fabricated (no), spurious (no)... BOGUS! (that's it!!) argument not apply to the Hillary Guevara product?  Sorry... being Kanadjan, I've always been confounded by US law... and it's gettin' cold up here north of the 49th, so my brain is slowing down in preparation for hibernation... so please... tell me why I shouldn't contact all your associates and tell them about the money your poor and unfair decision has cost them, and you?... Please (hey... we Canucks are nothing if not polite... despite the fact that I did have this one on my list for a comrade: http://www.cafepress.com/shop/t-shirts/ ... e.19818883).

Fuck you very much
t

ps... I would really love a response ASAP, or my letter WILL be going out to all your associates who are going to lose my +$2K, and a lot more of my friends' and family's money... I'll add it up for them, just to make it easy.
 

Whoa - a comrade up in Canada who doesn't care for the redness of his country's flag. . .  and politics.  Interesting.  I thought CBC properly "educated" you all aboot the fairness, love and tolerance that Osama teaches.  I mean, golly -  it's not the headcutters fault, they are compelled to cut off heads and treat their women like animals.  They didn't get enough ramadan gifts as children and now they have justifiable rage because The Great Satan and The Great Jew prevented them from getting their muhammud action figure with the kung fu grip.  

Well your letter is hilarious!  It's nice to know some of you canucks from the great white north survived the CBC re-education process.

Hmmmm. . .what exactly is a canuck though?

Well your letter is hilarious!  It's nice to know some of you canucks from the great white north survived the CBC re-education process.

Hmmmm. . .what exactly is a canuck though?Must apologize... this got a bit long... but since we Northerners are such exotic creatures, I took it as an opportunity to produce a National Geographic Special...

First - her country's flag... though the redness of our lovely Maple Leaf is a function of chemistry and sunlight, as I understand it... much like my state of mind often tends to be a function of chemistry and sunlight...

Second - there are many of us who don't appreciate all our country's political policies, though I'd be most likely to characterize myself as modestly libertarian with a social conscience and a fondness for nature... For all our issues, we're still a democracy... problems is, we also tend to vote on more than one issue at a time when we elect our politicians. But Kanada's policy of multi-culturalism is not appreciated by all - that dislike of multi-culturalism doesn't equal intolerance - simply that there are actually people who balance tolerance with some semblence of common sense.  Many of us do realize that it is a damaging and counterfeit national mythos.  I'm one of the Great Jew - with friends who are celebrating Ramadan right now... But I'm a Kanadjan first, as is my crowd.  And what most Kanadjians would love, despite appearances, is for our country to be more of a melting pot, rather than a multitude of solitudes (if you don't get the reference, Google The Two Solititudes)... Ah hell... I'll include an article from the National Post - our 'facist, financially oriented' newspaper at the bottom of this... We do, though, have a different history than the US... we're not 'rebels', in the sense that we're still a constitutional monarchy - part of the British Commonwealth, and so whatever our individuals origins, we tend to be reeeallly polite and try to find consensus... often to our detriment.

Third - The CBC - Candadian Broadcasting Corporation is the least and most ignored of our media outlets, and the most left wing... they've indoctrinated themselves into obsolescence... meaningless to most Canadians to the point that we jokingly refer to them as The Corpse.  That they are still publicly funded is a travesty to many... Their union recently went on strike and so programming was limited to reruns of decent old shows and a whack of documentaries and movies... their ratings went up... which should tell you something about the average Canadian.

Fourth - I have a Muhammad Action Figure with Kung-Fu grip - got it at Intifadas-R-Us... it's beside my Creature from the Black Lagoon, a Dalek, a skeleton beeny-baby (I'm not kidding), a Hans Solo in the original packaging, and a Gandhi doll with a string in the back that when you pull it says, "and eye for an eye leaves the world blind, but be careful on the subway tomorrow."  

Fifth - I'm really sorry about the whole Katrina/Rita thing... I have really good friends in New Orleans, but we are going to screw the US over the whole softwood lumber issue (see: NAFTA) with all the rebuiding they're going to have to be doing down south (look for some ads in your national papers soon from our federal agitprop - do you know that US tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber add more than $1,000 US to the cost of building a home in the US?)... and then there's the oil reserves (those still owned by Canadians)...  and Alberta beef (we're gonna give all of you mad-cow disease when the price of beef goes up cause of all those drowned cows in Texas... and make you learn how to pronounce 'nuclear' properly)... sorry... just trying to make the point that some of us up here are actually capitalists (ooh... I heard my neighbours hissing... shit... better go load the Glock)... sorry... make that survivalists...

Finally... a Canuck is slang for Canadian... coined by Americans actually, in 1835, when a whack of French-Canadians migrated to Maine to work in the lumber camps there... now it just refers to all Canadians - lumberjack or otherwise...

BTW - sorry this got a bit long... I'm working out my depression over not being able to get all that Flying Spaghetti Monster ware for my loved ones for the various winter festivities... since the best wares come from: http://www.cafepress.com/venganza/ and I WILL boycott them...

Yes... it is possible to be massively opiated And pissed And Canadian all at the same time... we're quite complex creatures... I think some of us actually escaped our enclosures at the Aquarium when Katrina hit... they were training us, along with some dolphins, as counter-terrorist operatives... teaching us to be mean and stuff... (see: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl? ... 14&tid=219)

Aaaand... an article from one of our more realistic newspapers on multiculturalism, among other things... see... we're not all idiotic lefties waiting with open arms for people we invite into our country (or raise here) to kill us.... I'm kinda fond of my eyes, my cute little Gandhi doll aside... I'd have just posted a link, but you wouldn't have been able to access it.

"Unintended consequences"

George Jonas
National Post

October 14, 2005

There's more to the story, but to tell it in shorthand, 40 years ago Canada's then-prime minister called on three public-affairs intellectuals to participate in the country's public affairs. Until then, Jean Marchand, 47, Gerard Pelletier, 46, and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 46, had been in the wings. In 1965, Lester B. Pearson invited them to centre stage. The trio of observers, activists and commentators became players.

Pearson's decision to install the "three wise men" (as they came to be known in English Canada; French Canadians referred to them as les trois colombes, or the three doves) was to have profound consequences for the country's political ethos. Whether they were the consequences Pearson foresaw and intended is harder to say.

The three French-Canadians were federalists. Pearson no doubt recruited them at least partly for this reason, for he aimed to defeat Quebec separatism. The three were also socialists, not by formal ties as much as by inclination. Cite Libre, the journal Trudeau had helped to found, was essentially a socialist periodical. The Catholic Workers Confederation of Canada, which Marchand had led during the Asbestos Strike in Quebec, was less Catholic than syndicalist. While Pearson was undoubtedly aware of this, I wouldn't propose that he invited the three wise men aiming to change Canada from a liberal to a social democracy. I'd argue, though, that this turned out to be the result.

Inviting the three wise men ushered in the Trudeau-era. Though looking like "a fish out of water" in the beginning -- as a journalist described him during the leadership campaign of 1968 -- Trudeau soon made the transition from intellectual to politician, becoming the most charismatic public figure of his period, not only in Canada but possibly in the world. His rule lasted for 15 years; his influence on the country's political culture has lasted to this day.

During the Trudeau years, the first domestic argument in Canada was between free enterprise and the interventionist economy, and the second between the unitary and the devolutionary state. Internationally, the main argument was between liberal democracy and totalitarianism.

It's safe to say that in the first and the third of these arguments, Trudeau took the wrong side. The jury is still out on the second one.

Some would argue that Trudeau didn't take the wrong side between liberal democracy and totalitarianism, only the middle ground. This is silly. One cannot take the middle ground between life and death.

Having a soft spot for a Mao or a Castro, as Trudeau did, exceeds ordinary political latitudes. There's a material difference between alternate ways of looking at the world and apologizing for mass murder. If Trudeau had a similar weakness for Nazi-type regimes and rulers, it would have made him a pariah, and rightly so.

The wise men's economic ideas turned out to be a quasi-Keynesian, quasi-Marxist muddle. Trudeau embraced wage and price controls, deficit financing, confiscatory taxation, intrusive social engineering and the National Energy Policy. The last, apart from the harm it did to individuals, created a sense of alienation in Western Canada second only to the separatist sentiment in Quebec.

Les Trois Colombes offered French Canadians the vision of a bilingual, bicultural country in exchange for giving up the dream of an independent Quebec. Their unarticulated but unmistakable suggestion to the francophone elite was that being a big fish in a small pond was a foolish ambition. Why should francophones be satisfied with ruling Quebec, they intimated, when they could be masters in their own house -- which was the whole of Canada?

If Canada was to be a bilingual country with most power concentrated in Ottawa's federal government, in the nature of things it would be francophones who would end up occupying most positions of authority in it. The inclination is always stronger for minorities to learn the language of a majority. Anglos weren't going to be bilingual in significant numbers. Francophones would be, and so rule the land. This part of the three wise men's vision was addressed to the mandarinate in Quebec, actual or aspiring; francophone civil servants, chattering classes and company executives grooming their sons and daughters to be the bureaucrats, politicians, journalists, entrepreneurs and administrators of the next generation.

As a counterweight to Quebec's special status in Confederation, the three wise men advanced multiculturalism. According to this notion, all inhabitants of Canada from any part of the world could retain -- forever, if they wished -- their separate identities and traditions. The whole mosaic would be Canadian, while the constituent bits in it could remain as distinct as they have ever been. But none, not even the Quebecois, would be more distinct than any of the others. Trudeau & Co. cleverly proposed to abolish special status by offering special status to all.

How did it turn out?

The social models the three wise men promoted, admired or apologized for never fulfilled their promise. Communism imploded. Free enterprise outperformed the command economy. Bilingualism didn't do the trick. Non-traditional immigration and multiculturalism may have changed the face of Canada, but did little to either unify or imbue it with a new sense of identity. Today Canada is as much a nation of "two solitudes" as it was in 1945 when Hugh MacLennan coined the term.

If anything, Canadian society became more fragmented than it was before the Trudeau era. Some of the concepts that contributed to Canada's splintering into hostile, self-seeking xenoliths were inspired by the three wise men's ideas, and some evolved as reactions to them, but in either case the result was the same. Multiculturalism, Western alienation, interest group-politics, the gender wars and aboriginal separatism only created an increasing number of solitudes.

The legacy of the three wise men isn't less significant for being ironic. Separatism hasn't been defeated as a political idea in Canada. On the contrary, it has spread from Quebec to points west. It's liberalism that has been defeated. By now, it's been replaced by a culture of statism within the ruling Liberal party. Ideas have consequences, though not necessarily the ones intended.

And another one...

Premier Breshnev

And another one...


This will be the American flag when Premier Hillary wins in '08.
 

Comrade "massively opiated"!  You go to Glorious lengths to promote the Revolution!  Hell, and I thought I was the only one with tome-like posts.  Cool.  I like the National Geographic special you presented.  It was very informative.  We just need a "Mutual of Omaha" commercial.  Ah well, you probably won't get that reference.  Hmmm. . .where to begin to respond.

First, yes, the maple leaf is Red from chemistry and sunlight.  This proves that Allah loves communism!  Throw down your back bacon and beer and pick up a Falafel and can of crab juice!  Hmmm. . . but allah and communism cannot co-exist.  Everyone knows the left hates Christians and Jews.  Lenin banned all religion as counter-revolutionary. . . hmmmmm. . . quandary.  How can we have communism, or anarchy and accept the allah "freedom" fighters as our brothers?  Gosh!  I feel strange, like I'm thinking or something.  I better lay down, burn some incense and put on a Michael Moore movie.  He'll explain it all in a way I can understand!  He's my half ton hero!

Second, I love nature as well.  Seriously, I grew up around vast forests in Midwestern America.  We'd go out all day and explore, and it was nice having the space.  However, what I know to be true is that the sad fact of the matter is that trees and little furry animals cannot vote.  And as such, politicians on both sides of the spectrum pay lip service to the environment but do extremely little else to protect them.  What they might do to protect it is often either counter productive to the environment (but sounds good) or they'll preserve some small insignificant piece of trophy land while selling off large parcels of pristine land under the table out of public view.  Liberals are just as violative of the environment as conservatives, often worse so.  

And, the communist countries actually have the absolute worst track records for the environment, their only goal is to maximize worker and resource output at whatever cost to the human slaves they use or the environment. Oddly, a true champion of the environment was U.S President Richard Nixon.  He made the most far reaching environmental protections of any President in our lifetime.  Bill Clinton on the other hand, spoke the most about the environment and yet did the least to protect it.  One of the first things he did when he took office was to sell off vast tracts of old growth forests in our Pacific Northwest to loggers.  That means trees over 2,000 years old.  I guess it takes a "village" to destroy the environment.

Third, that was good to hear about the CBC's obscurity.  I thought they were a main source of information up there.

Fourth - that's great to hear that you were able to obtain a muhammud action figure!  And you're Jewish, so that figures, you kept the dolls from reaching the peaceful, tolerant muslims, so as I said, they are justified in their rage against you!  You claim to have friends who are muslim!  Ha!  It cannot be!  You and your people stole all their land and turned what land they do have into unfruitful deserts so their baby osamas starve!  You should send yourself to the gulag!  

Hey, by the way, did you get the optional Boeing 747 American Airlines jet model that the muhammad action figure can then fly into Great Satan buildings filled with infidels?  It creates a wonderful land of imagination for arabs/muslims of all ages and stimulates their brain for the jihad they'll take part in one day!  Yea!  Kill Westerners - get 72 virgin girls!  Yippee!

Fifth, I did not know about the U.S. tariff on Canadian lumber.  That sucks.  We have similar tariff on sugar.  Foreign sugar is thus cost prohibitive, and  U.S. sugar is so jacked up in price due to lack of competition that most sugar filled U.S. products switched to cheaper, less healthy "corn syrup" as an alternative.  I personally think tariffs are a sham, but I somewhat understand the want to protect U.S. jobs.  It's a tricky situation, but the tariffs don't ultimately work do they?  But then, of course, everyone knows Halliburton owns all the sugar and lumber in the U.S. so maybe it does make sense!

And, of course, we have old growth forests to cut down so we don't need your Canadian lumber, but we cannot access oil offshore, in the Alaskan artic wasteland, or build new refineries so we can buy all our oil from osama and his crew and support their efforts to bring us all down to our knees!  Yea!  GO Environment!!!  Alright!  Hey - where's those butt ugly hippie cheerleaders when I need them?

Then finally, thanks for the "canuck" definition!  I never knew what that term was precisely.  I asked a Canadian visiting here that question once, after he had thrown back a few beers and he decided to respond in curses to me!  It was hilarious.

Then - well hey, it's good to hear from a real Canadian about the red menace to the north (heh, just kidding).  It's seriously nice to know that some of you guys came out of the re-education process with a few independently working brain cells.  Now liberal/anarchist trash down in the States are attempting to do the same here.  Yea!  Let's lower the standard of living to mere subsistence for all people so that our Glorious leaders may live like gods!  Alright!  Where can I sign up?  It all sounds so warm and fair!

I visited your country a few years ago for a meeting in Toronto.  Cool CN tower - that plexiglass floor was kind of creepy though.  And I wish they didn't have the "safety" chicken wire ruining the view from up there.  I walked all over that city over a few days.  Nice place, I particularly enjoyed the Hockey Hall of Fame.  

Although I did see a large number of black homeless throughout Toronto harassing me for spare coins.  And it made me wonder:  how come there were all these angry homeless in Toronto when Canada is supposedly the model U.S. Democrats sometimes claim they wish to emulate?  And why were they disproportionately black?  Is Canada as "racist" as America is?  Of course, all the world knows how the U.S. keeps all of our black people uneducated and in ghettos against their will.  And how we discriminate against them every chance we get and have racist White Power organizations and political action committees here fighting for racist white only entitlements, quotas, preferential treatment and policies.  

It's sad to be sure - I mean look at the Katrina victims - Bush purposely engineered that hurricane to hit the black comrades specifically.  That area of the country never heard of a "hurricane" until the black folks moved there in August.  Those levees built in the 30s were built by President Bush's ancestors (and early Halliburton shareholders), with the full knowledge that the 2000, and 2004 U.S. elections would be rigged in order to put him in power and then he could purposely breach the levees with his racist hurricane.  

So you see, even if Canada provided free lumber,  Bush wouldn't allow it anyway.  Besides, it worked of course, Bush suceeded in exterminating all of our brown U.S. citizens with Katrina, so there's no point in sending help to us!  We committed genocide yet again!  First the Indians, now the blacks!  Damn the conservatives!  When will they ever heed Rodney King's sage advice so often scorned "Can't We All Just Get Along?"
 

Comradeski...

Comrade "massively opiated"!  You go to Glorious lengths to promote the Revolution!  Hell, and I thought I was the only one with tome-like posts.  Cool.  I like the National Geographic special you presented.  It was very informative.  We just need a "Mutual of Omaha" commercial.  Ah well, you probably won't get that reference.  Hmmm. . .where to begin to respond.

It's the drugs... though upon reading "Mutual of Omaha", I did have a flashback to Wild Kingdom...

First, yes, the maple leaf is Red from chemistry and sunlight.  This proves that Allah loves communism!  Throw down your back bacon and beer and pick up a Falafel and can of crab juice!  Hmmm. . . but allah and communism cannot co-exist.  Everyone knows the left hates Christians and Jews.  Lenin banned all religion as counter-revolutionary. . . hmmmmm. . . quandary.  How can we have communism, or anarchy and accept the allah "freedom" fighters as our brothers?  Gosh!  I feel strange, like I'm thinking or something.  I better lay down, burn some incense and put on a Michael Moore movie.  He'll explain it all in a way I can understand!  He's my half ton hero!

He also wandered around Toronto, walking into unlocked houses to see how we would react... since everything is part of the collective, most did not shoot him... I would have (but only because it was winter, and he is easily mistaken for a bear with mange... good eatin')... I am.. conflicted about Mr. Moore's work... much as I am conflicted about being bashed repeatedly over the head with a hammer... but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate his ability to expose hipocra.. hippo... hipocrisy.. sorry.... Marlin Perkins was just speaking to me... WTF is crab juice, BTW?

Second, I love nature as well.  Seriously, I grew up around vast forests in Midwestern America.  We'd go out all day and explore, and it was nice having the space.  However, what I know to be true is that the sad fact of the matter is that trees and little furry animals cannot vote.  And as such, politicians on both sides of the spectrum pay lip service to the environment but do extremely little else to protect them.  What they might do to protect it is often either counter productive to the environment (but sounds good) or they'll preserve some small insignificant piece of trophy land while selling off large parcels of pristine land under the table out of public view.  Liberals are just as violative of the environment as conservatives, often worse so.

Recently saw a lovely speech given by Dubya... his writers had clearly intended for him to say that with the devastation after Katrina and Rita, all Americans would have to conserve energy... He couldn't get the words out.. he fumbled, and fumbled, and finally went for, "use less".. though use less of what he didn't... couldn't offer... but you see, here we have a fundamental difference between Americans and Kanadjians... up here, we all just assume that our Liberal and Conservative politicians are lying to us, and that our Left Wing politicians are lying to themselves (and are, by the way, circulating a petition to give trees and little furry animals enfranchisement)... Some of y'all down there actually still BELIEVE your politicians.. it's the only explanation for the X-files... you want to believe... you want to believe that Aliens are behind everything... Up here, the truth, revealed through mass consumption of back bacon and beer during our May Day rituals grants us the clarity to realize that all politicians are liars... except that clarity eludes those on the left who, for political reasons, won't eat back bacon... something about living off the backs of others.. blah, blah, blah... Sometimes, when we run out of back bacon, we eat our left... that's life in the gulag.

Third, that was good to hear about the CBC's obscurity.  I thought they were a main source of information up there.

ROFL Mao off... silly American... our main source of information is CNN... and The Daily Show... and Michael Moore, when he drops in unannounced... and brings drugs.

Fourth - that's great to hear that you were able to obtain a muhammud action figure!  And you're Jewish, so that figures, you kept the dolls from reaching the peaceful, tolerant muslims, so as I said, they are justified in their rage against you!  You claim to have friends who are muslim!  Ha!  It [i]cannot be!  You and your people stole all their land and turned what land they do have into unfruitful deserts so their baby osamas starve!  You should send yourself to the gulag!
Hey, by the way, did you get the optional Boeing 747 American Airlines jet model that the muhammad action figure can then fly into Great Satan buildings filled with infidels?  It creates a wonderful land of imagination for arabs/muslims of all ages and stimulates their brain for the jihad they'll take part in one day!  Yea!  Kill Westerners - get 72 virgin girls!  Yippee![/i]

Sorry... let me clarify... Jewish Zen Buddhist... no 747's... but many many Cessna's, which when not being flown into buildings, are used to drop Maple Leaves along your northern border in defiance of Homeland Security... little known secret... it's what the red in your colour coded warning scheme stands for... KANADJIANS!

As for the virgins, again... I must point out that I am a female, and as such, virgins are piss useless to me... particularly male virgins... except when the winter is cold and hard and the hunting is particularly bad, since the young are often left wing, and so particulary tender.

Fifth, I did not know about the U.S. tariff on Canadian lumber.  That sucks.  We have similar tariff on sugar.  Foreign sugar is thus cost prohibitive, and  U.S. sugar is so jacked up in price due to lack of competition that most sugar filled U.S. products switched to cheaper, less healthy "corn syrup" as an alternative...  But then, of course, everyone knows Halliburton owns all the sugar and lumber in the U.S. so maybe it does make sense!

High Fructose genetically modified corn syrup... but now I'm confused... I thought Monsanto owned everything.

And, of course, we have old growth forests to cut down so we don't need your Canadian lumber, but we cannot access oil offshore, in the Alaskan artic wasteland, or build new refineries so we can buy all our oil from osama and his crew and support their efforts to bring us all down to our knees!  Yea!  GO Environment!!!  Alright!  Hey - where's those butt ugly hippie cheerleaders when I need them?

Which is precisely why we Liberatarian, Survivalist, Jewish Buddhists (and some worshippers of The Flying Spaghetti Monster - Obey His Noodley Tentacles) up here are preparing to defend against an invasion from the south... our rally to escape our holding tanks in Gulfport, where the US Navy was training us, along with some whily cetaceans, as counter-terrorists was a ploy... we simply needed foreign experts to teach us how to be mean... and the herring was reeeally good... even as I type, my pod, and our dolphins brothers are returning north, bringing American teknology, know-how, and herring.

Then finally, thanks for the "canuck" definition!  I never knew what that term was precisely.  I asked a Canadian visiting here that question once, after he had thrown back a few beers and he decided to respond in curses to me!  It was hilarious.

He wasn't cursing you... he was from Newfoundland.

Then - well hey, it's good to hear from a real Canadian about the red menace to the north (heh, just kidding).  It's seriously nice to know that some of you guys came out of the re-education process with a few independently working brain cells.  Now liberal/anarchist trash down in the States are attempting to do the same here.  Yea!  Let's lower the standard of living to mere subsistence for all people so that our Glorious leaders may live like gods!  Alright!  Where can I sign up?  It all sounds so warm and fair!

The pod and our dolphin brothers are currently at 52° 59', 131° 47'.. the pass phrase is, "when the levee breaks - eeeeee... eeeee.. eeeeee"... bring herring.

I visited your country a few years ago for a meeting in Toronto.... Nice place, I particularly enjoyed the Hockey Hall of Fame.  Although I did see a large number of black homeless throughout Toronto harassing me for spare coins.  And it made me wonder:  how come there were all these angry homeless in Toronto when Canada is supposedly the model U.S. Democrats sometimes claim they wish to emulate?  And why were they disproportionately black?  Is Canada as "racist" as America is?  Of course, all the world knows how the U.S. keeps all of our black people uneducated and in ghettos against their will.  And how we discriminate against them every chance we get and have racist White Power organizations and political action committees here fighting for racist white only entitlements, quotas, preferential treatment and policies.  

That's because the Toronto Police can't arrest black people... that, or what you thought were a lot of black people were simply very dirty... it happens sometimes to the homeless... Actually - I'm kinda surprised... downtown tends to be as multicultural in it's homelessness as the rest of the country... are you sure you just didn't notice the white homeless people because they were more polite?... are you sure you weren't here during Caribana?  Or there wasn't a white power homeless rally at the Sally-Anne that day?

So you see, even if Canada provided free lumber,  Bush wouldn't allow it anyway.  Besides, it worked of course, Bush suceeded in exterminating all of our brown U.S. citizens with Katrina, so there's no point in sending help to us!  We committed genocide yet again!  First the Indians, now the blacks!  Damn the conservatives!  When will they ever heed Rodney King's sage advice so often scorned "Can't We All Just Get Along?"

Oh man... you are in serious need of what the pod has to offer... just don't let our dolphin brothers hear you squealing 'why can't we all just get along?"... They'll beat you to a bloody pulp with their bottle-noses and leave you to the Orcas... or get you with their 'frickin' lasers'... The US Navy... snort... You'd think they would have taken our dolphin brothers' armaments off when returning the cetacean hoard to their holding tanks... and we kept ours too - told them we were going to practice by way of competition.. HA!... all the better to defend our oil, trees, and back bacon... hahaHaHaHAHAHA...  oop.. gotta go... herring and opiates have arrived... hibernation begins... eeee... eeeeee.... eeeeee.

Dasvidanya Comrades... 'til next May Day
 

And another bear, bearing the image of the new US police force when Hillary wins!

 

I think it may be about time to go bear hunting and "thin the heards."
 

Kommissar Betty

I think it may be about time to go bear hunting and "thin the heards."

Ooooh... I'm in...

Miiiii-chael... come baaAAAaack to Ka-na-da... Bill C-68 (gun control and registry) is an impotent ludicrously over-budget failure, and yet most of us Canucks are still peace-loving open-door lefties... and we tend to leave our front doors unlocked more often in winter to allow for those who need shelter to find safe-haven, warmth and FOOD... honest...

(Thinking... Hmm... fully automatic large caliber hand gun, or shotgun for wider spread in case he runs... snort.... how fast could he run? and the buck would probably not even prenetrate... definitely the Glock(s)... with a bagel and cream cheese)

To my friends to the south - a word of advice.  When hunting Polar Bear OR Michael Moore... well... any large white creature, DO NOT eat the liver... it has a high concentration of Vitamin A... enough to make it toxic to humans.  It does make good bait meat for baby seals and teddy bears though; the first of which is a good source of blubber, and the second of which will provide you with a nice winter pelt.  Again, I'm struck (groan) by the similarlity between seal hunting and Michael Moore films - both involve being hit repeatedly over the head with a hammer... all that's missing is the sickle.

Happy Hunting Betski!

I wish there was a company like Cafepress that would not be run by such big ideological hacks. I'm sure a lot of people are saying that. Where there's a demand, there must be a supply. There's a big chance conservative sellers will desert Cafepress for such a new company.

I'd be willing to be part in such a project (design and programming) if anyone wants to take on the business and the technological part of it. There's money to be made!

Red

I found just that company and a company that produce much higher quality clothing. That company is Spread Shirt wich can be found at http://www.spreadshirt.com. They cost a little more but it is more than worth it for the high quality.

I have also been mistreated by CafePress unjustly so I am going to utilize my marketing expertise to make them look bad. It is best to go to Spread Shirt since people are beginning to say that they are the #1 threat to CafePress' survival.

You can see my shop that will be opened at http://www.firedupwear.com but now my company web site is at http://www.firedupwear.tk.
 

Fired Up comrade -

Thanks for the tip. It may be the way to go for us.

In the meantime, a new attack on Che(TM) - this time in a USA Today editorial, of all places! http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/ed ... edit_x.htm
 

A good friend of mine , a teacher in the LAUSD, covered for another teacher's class.  On the bulletin board were four pictures,:JFK, MLK,  MalcolmX and Che.  The caption underneath read " If they had lived, what would the world be like?  I am buying my friend a che shirt (I recieved mine yesterday.)  He said ge will wear it despite the risk.  Young Mexican teachers adore 'ernie G.'  My friend will probably be summoned to the principal's office and told to change his shirt.  He said he will refuse.

I taught in the LA unified for two decades.  I call it the madrasa of aztlan.  One short story.  One teacher, now retired, fanatically devoted to La Raza, also called La super duper super raza , would present his first amendment lesson to his government class in mid-september.  The centerpiece of his lesson would be the burning of the American flag. (Not a Mexican flag since the students would riot, nor a ufw flag, because that would make him cry.)  So on september 13th, 2001, he burned flags for all three of his government classes.  One parent called to complain about the fire hazard.  

We are looking at the first generation of immigrants taught to hate their reciever country.  Even the French would draw the line there.
 

Any updates on this komrades?
 

Come check out our site- http://dicklist.blogspot.com

I had the same problem with cafepress. It woulnt let me sell Che is Gay shirts
 

ChingaChe-

The French would draw the line there because the fire would frighten and confuse them - they would be compelled to surrender to the teacher.

TLA - I saw a picture of your "Che is Gay" shirt on your website.  It would sell well in gaytown here. . . you could sell many of them in the Hillcrest area of San Diego.  As for Cafepress, well golly!  They are discriminating against homosexuals!  They really hate homosexuals, such as Mary Cheney, Che Guevara, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss. . . and they are supposed to be in league with the compassionate Party!  It's strange that they shun the wonderfully diverse rainbow Che.  Racist Facist Kapitalist Hate Criminals!  

I wonder though, would baby Muhammud like gays?  That's the real question here.  Cause if people who cut heads don't like gays then maybe I shouldn't either.  They hate Jews - so I know the Jew must be the enemy of the People.  No one would cut off a head and say it was a Jews fault without really meaning it, so it must be so.  It's all about accepting different cultures maaaan. . . who are we to call them savages for cutting off heads and trying to kill random Jewish people.  I mean, everyone knows the World Trade Center was like the headquarters of the American Nazi Party - My favorite fako Injun told me so.  Americans and Jews are Nazis - they are terrorists.  Female circumcision is compassionate, yeah man, like diversity - it's a groovy thing.  We've always been at war with Eastasia.
 

Boohoohoo! We have all three branches of government, the media and Big Business, but Cafepress refuses to knuckle under to us!

We are going to whine and cry like three year olds until we get our way!!!!

You guys break my heart... it is soooo hard being conservative in this country.  The lefties are against you, the honest to goodness Capitalist enterprises are against you (like Cafe Press), everyone's out to kill Christmas and your President has unfettered powers... its so sad being you. Anything that goes wrong is everyone else's fault.  You sound almost like the lefties... bitching about how you've been wronged by this that or the other group.  Be real conservatives and stop yer whining. A casual seach on CafePress turns up something like 600 + Conservative stores on their site.  There are some great ones there... I personally like these ones:

Is it just me or does comrade GimmeaBreak sound a little bit off key, like a Conehead trying to pretend he's human?

I'm sure that when he walks in the street with his upright backbone and someone pokes him in the eye, he just continues to stroll along proudly, as if nothing happened, holding his head up high, thinking it must be a custom here on Earth to poke strangers in the eye as a sign of affection.

I wonder if he's ever goes to "progressive" sites advising them to stop whining about Bushitler, Halliburton, Patriot Act, global warming, Wal-Mart, corporate oppression, Limbaugh, etc.etc. Something tells me he doesn't.

Role playing is not for everybody, comrade!
 

Dear Mr. Break....
You are a RINO.... And that is why we LOVE YOU!

Where have you been? We want you guys back in Washington A.S.A.P so that our party can rule this country for another fifty some odd years again!! With G.W in power, our party is constantly playing defense with these clowns. It has gotten so bad now that we can’t even tip the culture war in our favor without backlash creeping out all over the nation.  We need the passive weak minded republicrats back now, and I for one believe you are the man with the right ideas and self-denial of current events to do it!

Thank you so much progressive friend for your hard work and repetitive passive surrenderist attitude in efforts of helping elect Hillary in 08'!

Cheers,

I used to frequent CafeDePressed often to have shirts made for my student organization at College, we too were censored.  We had an Irish Student Union, and not only did CafePress deny us, we were told by the school admin that our club was rascist.  

My sincere thanks to all at The People's Cube.
 

what were the images like?

How was your stuff racist?
 

Sorry I have nothing prepared, It was a shirt that had IRISH STUDENT ALLIANCE, and it was a take off on the House of Pain emblem.  On the back it had a IRA looking guy standing on a british flag and underneath that it said OURSELVES ALONE.  Pro-IRA maybe, but it was tounge and cheek at best.  Hell, our executive Vice President was half chinese.  No joke.  It was a shame to not be allowed to have our litlle social club.  Some lady from another club(peace and freedom party) felt threatened because a bunch of white kids, and 1 half asian were congregating and having fun, whilst not feeling any tremendous remorse for all of our predecessors transgressions.  What were we thinking? Damn Western Civ!!!

If "bad press" is tantamount to "free advertisement" in your warped universe, then you should be beside yourself over the abundance of extra publicity that lefties have generated for Wal-Mart and Halliburton. I'd say they're cashin' in, big time, comrade.
 

Cafepress Store Owner

...thank you to the right-wingers who still believe in advertisement.

Normally advertisement is a big no-no in the right-wing collectives, but for you we made an exception. That doesn't mean we still believe in it.
