How many stories like this one is it going to take before Democratic voters in this country feel like they've been had? The latest Senator Kerry fundraising scandal was uncovered by the Los Angeles Times. I've told you about a number of these, so you can just throw this one on the pile with everything else that smells bad about the candidacy of John Kerry. It turns out that Kerry's office sent 28 letters on behalf of a contractor that just plead guilty last week to illegally funneling campaign contributions to the Massachusetts Senator and four other congressmen. And this...

KERRY TO SOUTH --- DROP DEAD Was it my imagination, or did I read that John Kerry says that he can easily win the presidency without taking a single Southern state? Yup ... seems that he did. He also had a few things to say about that Southern drawl. So here we have this Massachusetts Senator denigrating the South. I wonder if Southerners will remember this when Kerry starts campaigning down there. Probably not ... you know how stupid they are. Right? Michigan Senator Carl Levin has now endorsed Kerry. Levin says that he thinks the Democratic candidate needs to...

The fired NATO Supreme Allied Commander continues to win friends and influence others, this time by questioning other people's military service. Speaking about his rival John Kerry, Weasly actually said "Well, he's got a military background, but nobody in the race has got the kind of background I've got. I've negotiated peace agreements, I've made a major alliance in war." What a pathetic waste of space. It's a wonder his head fits through the door. It's also obvious that the Clintonistas are running the campaign, with Bill and Hitlary pulling the strings. Weasly has now decided that the best way...

IOWA EARTHQUAKE: KERRY FINISHES FIRST, DEAN MELTDOWN As suicide hotlines all over the country were flooded with distraught Deanie babies, John Kerry finished first in Iowa, followed by multi-millionaire trial lawyer John Edwards. Bringing up third place is the ever-angry Howard Dean. Richard Gephardt finished fourth and is, therefore, finished. The top three finishers now head to New Hampshire, where Weasley Clark and Joe Leiberman are waiting for next Tuesday's primary. This is going to get very interesting, because of the relatively tight timetable. After New Hampshire, there's John Edwards' home state of South Carolina and a handful of others,...

You do remember the flap over allowing pilots to have guns in the cockpits of commercial airliners, don't you? Finally the FAA gave its blessings and the TSA started trying to figure out how this would be done. Now we're learning that the process of approving pilots for firearms is moving slowly, and the Bush Administration and the TSA seems to be making a conscious effort to make it just as tough on the pilots as possible. 1. The site for pilot firearms training is in a remote area of New Mexico. 2. Pilots must pay their own way to...

Trailer trash Posted: January 13, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Does the name Jerry William Jones ring a bell with you? No? Well I'll bet those images of the scene of his crimes, his subsequent flight and eventual capture last week are probably burned into your memory. Jones is the knuckle-dragging waste of oxygen that killed his estranged common-law wife's sister and her parents last week. He then strangled his 10-month-old baby girl, kidnapped his wife's remaining three children (two by him, one by another man) and fled. A motorist heard the Amber Alert, spotted Jones' car and radioed the police....

The art of thievery Posted: January 6, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com There are few areas of government abuse that infuriate me more than does spending on the so-called "arts." In one of the most incredible scams ever perpetrated on the American taxpayer, tens of thousands of marginal artists across the country have discovered a way to use the police power of government to compensate for the lack of actual marketable artistic skills. The general philosophy here is that if you cannot get the uncultured great unwashed to purchase your works of art in a free market, then...

HOWARD DEAN ... MAN OF THE PEOPLE You may not know it, but Democratic frontrunner Howard Dean was raised in what most of us would consider to be a luxury apartment on Park Avenue in New York City. This seems to be a trend in Democratic presidential candidates. Al Gore, you may remember, was raised in a 5-Star hotel in Washington D.C. Every morning a limo would pick up little Al at the front door of the hotel to take him to his exclusive private school. Well ... the news of Howard Dean's exclusive upbringing seems to be a bit...

Child abuse in government schools Posted: December 26, 20031:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com The children sit in a circle. Some are wearing mittens; others are waiting expectantly with little plastic shovels. The rules of the game state that a few of the children must do nothing but sit and watch as the action begins. On the leader's "Go!" the children scramble for 100 pennies that have been scattered on the floor in the center of the circle. The players with mittens are having a rough time picking up any pennies at all. The kids with shovels are scooping up some pretty...

Fox News Channel is reporting that Osama bin Laden is Iran. He's shaved his head, cut and dyed his beard, and is alive and well in Iran. He's spending his time planning terrorist attacks against the United States. The Iranians are harboring bin Laden to counter the effects of the democratization of Afghanistan on one border and Iraq on the other. So ... at a time when the Democratic Party is doing everything in their power to undermine President Bush's efforts in the war on terror, we have Osama bin Laden reportedly alive and well in Iran trying to make...

Freepers - I need Neal Boortz's web site link. I cannot find it on Drudge or Google. He discussed today that the organizers of the British protests are primarily communists and Muslim extremists and I want more informations. Thanks in advance.

Starting your life all over again? Posted: November 4, 20031:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Now that Mother Nature is helping man beat back those disastrous fires in California, it's a prudent time to address two matters related to the cause and effect of these fires. First, the news coverage. If I hear one more blonde talking-head, so-called journalist talk about people "losing everything they had," I'm going to pull out my remaining three hairs. Can we leave the cliches alone for a while? Except for the tragic deaths associated with the fires – and we'll get to those in a moment...

Friday was a day of true disgrace for the Democratic Party – led by the increasingly irrational Ted Kennedy, who voted against President Bush's funding request for our operation in Iraq. He wasn't alone. Presidential candidates John Edwards and John Kerry were right there with him, as was the congressional gargoyle Dennis Kucinich. Wesley Clark and Howard Dean couldn't vote, but they did ring into assure an anxious country that they most certainly have voted no if they had just had the opportunity to do so. Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards and every other politician who voted against this funding request were...

And that's the way it is, folks. The ever-disgusting Democrat Ted Kennedy voted against President Bush's funding request for our operation in Iraq. He wasn't alone. John Edwards and John Kerry were right there with him, opposing Bush's $87 billion funding request for the continuation of our efforts in Iraq. Wesley Clark and Howard Dean say that they would have opposed the funding if they had a vote. Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards and every other politician who voted against this funding request was sending messages to our troops in Iraq, their families at home, Saddam Hussein and his supporters, Islamic terrorists...

Today marks the first broadcast day of Rush Limbaugh's four-week hiatus for treatment of his dependency on prescription pills, and many on the left couldn't be happier.  The left typically shows more compassion for a mass murder who lost his latest appeal than they are showing for Limbaugh.  So, where is all of this much-celebrated liberal compassion?  I suppose we forgot that liberals usually show their compassion by spending someone else's money.Some on the left are looking at Rush's month of drug rehab as the perfect time to do a little "kicking while they're down."  Evan Thomas writes this in...

HAVE THE COURAGE TO DEBATE THE STATEMENT Make no mistake about this .. no mistake at all. The whole reason that Rush Limbaugh is under fire for his comments on Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is simply because he is perhaps the nation's most prominent conservative ... and a white guy on top of it all! Limbaugh is seen by the left as a huge, almost insurmountable threat to their designs on regaining control in DC. Now, incredibly, Rush Limbaugh has resigned from his position at ESPN. My guess is that the resignation was forced, but he may have just decided...

Class warfare is alive and well on the Democratic campaign trail. Hey, why abandon a game plan that appeals so beautifully to the baser instincts of fellow Americans? Almost every single one of the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates is loudly proclaiming their intention to raise taxes on the wretched, undeserving rich. Interestingly enough, though, these Democrats just can't seem to bring themselves to use those two words "tax increases." The dictates of political survival demand different verbiage – hence the phrase "get rid of Bush's tax cuts for the rich." Here's a bit of grudging respect for the...

Perhaps it has already occurred to you that Social Security isn't exactly one of the grandest schemes ever devised by public servants. Maybe you've also come to the realization that our system of government-owned and union-operated indoctrination centers known as "public schools" are doing a less-than-excellent job educating our children. You might even understand that this Medicare prescription program that seems to be the political rage right now will eventually become an uncontrollable $100-billion-a-year nightmare. Believe me, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Brace yourselves my friends, for it's time for a nasty dose of reality. Socialized medicine is inevitable in...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about private-property rights. I wrote about the clash between the rights of individual Americans to their property, and the never-ending quest by politicians for more money to spend on their various vote-buying schemes. That previous column didn't generate enough of an outrage, so I'm back to try again. How about listening up this time? Maybe it would help if I could be more concise. This time, maybe I can make you understand that the very foundation of liberty is under attack. Just what is the basic foundation of human liberty? Self ownership. It's just...
