"The nightly invasion through my home will apparently continue unabated regardless of whose fanny is warming the chair in the Oval Office. My neighbors and I will continue to see our property vandalized or stolen, our houses invaded, vehicles stolen, friends and relatives attacked, our surroundings trashed -- but what the hell, it is for the Good of the Party so we shouldn't complain, should we?

As I said, Dubya and the weasels in Washington have decided that the 60,000 Americans who live in the Naco Corridor are irrelevant....My vote may as well be irrelevant, too."

And who can blame you?

Why must the President insist the rights of criminal invaders supercede the rights of American citizens? And the icing on the cake -- the doubling of those Mexicans, and God-only-knows how many Islamic moles emboldened to further crash the border and thus trash U.S. sovereign law.

There is NO defense for the President's refusal to address this "security" problem crisis. NONE WHATSOEVER.

Thanks for the post. This whole amnesty thing, as well as the hysterical reaction of this administration's lickspittles to any hint of criticism, has changed my entire outlook on this president.

Too bad, too. For months I was hoping he had something for us conservatives up his sleeve.

"President Bush’s proposed immigration reform package is a shocking betrayal of our nation’s sovereignty, culture and economy. "

This cannot be true, because President Bush is a Republican. That is the simple and solid answer you will get from 99.9% of the FReepers. John Birch was a liar and attempting to replace or defeat Republicans in office is a sin. All Republicans now in office, or running for office are better than any other choice of person or party.

President Bush's support of UNESCO is for the benefit of America. President Bush's support of a loan for the new UN Headquarters building is for the benefit of America. Anyone who speaks against the United Nations is not a patriot, but a traitor to America, myself included.

The Utah legislative bill asking that the United States withdraw from the United Nations was written, supported and passed by a bunch of ignorant hicks who couldn't find their way out of a barn.

69 WHEREAS, the United States Constitution, which provides America with the greatest
70 form of government known to humankind, and which was made possible and protected by
71 much sacrifice and bloodshed throughout the nation's history, is not recognized as a governing
72 document by the United Nations;
http://www.le.state.ut.us/~2004/bills/hbillamd/hjr003.htm

UNESCO promotes a global tax on the Internet, among other global taxes.
UNESCO meddles in the education affairs of its member countries and continues to attempt to construct a global school curriculum for American schools, including radical notions of the family and bizarre sex education programs.
UNESCO has been fully supportive of the United Nations’ Population Fund in its assistance to China’s brutal coercive population control program, which includes forced abortions.
UNESCO has designated 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves in the United States covering more than 70 million acres, without congressional approval. This project has led to the confiscation of private lands and restrictions on the use of public land.
UNESCO bypasses congressional authority to manage federal lands, including places like the Everglades, by establishing management policies without congressional consultation or approval.
The UNESCO “World Heritage Convention” has allowed UNESCO to designate some of the most treasured American public monuments to be “world heritage” sites, such as Independence Hall, the Statute of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, Jefferson’s Monticello. It is UNESCO, not the United States government, that develop policies and regulations that control these sites.

Would you like to see some censorship here in the US of A by the World Heritage Organization?

Look at Mexico 1st, then look at CANADA and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

Notice under this heading there is only TWO locations marked. Hmmm, large country, long history, yet only TWO locations are selected. Canada alone has ELEVEN locations selected.

Then come over to the unofficial (thesalmons.org) World Heritage website and look under the "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", here at the unofficial website we have EIGHTEEN locations selected. No need to alarm the Americans about a small takeover is there? Naw, the don't worry about sovereignty anyway.

Remain loyal Republicans who refuse to question our Presidents actions and you will be responsible for not having a sovereign country to give to your kids. Stay proud and ignorant, after all what are the choices? Aware of the UGLY truth or hiding from the UGLY truth. Hiding is much easier, I agree.

Bush is probably not going to be re-elected. His only cross-over appeal to an increasingly liberal American demographic was his perceived strength on national security, and with the wheels coming off that cart real fast now, due to Iraq-WMD, he's likely headed for a November hammering. Hopefully he won't take control of Congress with him on the way down.

The idea of John Kerry making several SCOTUS picks just sickens me, and I know his attacks on sovereignty, language and culture will be as treacherous as Bush's. The only consolation is that we'll be dodging knives from the front instead of also pulling them from our back.

The scariest thing about John Birch is the bastard must have had a real glass ball because he predicted everything we are seeing today, FORTY YEARS AGO!

He had the United Nations and all the different organizations within it pinned down EXACTLY CORRECT. How in the hell can a simple man do this stuff. He said he would be hated for it, go that one correct too.

Kerry Postures as a War Hero

New American ^ | May 5, 2003 | John F. McManus

Posted on 05/23/2003 6:54:38 PM CDT by Rennes Templar

As a presidential hopeful, Senator John Kerry touts his military experience. But 30 years ago he led anti-war protests and marched alongside revolutionary Communists.

Senator John Kerry wants to be president. His membership in the Council on Foreign Relations guarantees that the world government crowd will accept him. He can tap into his wife’s millions to overcome any fundraising shortfall. And his connection to Yale’s eerily secretive Skull & Bones Society opens doors to many of its movers and shakers — though veteran Bones critic Ron Rosenbaum notes the possibility of a "Bones versus Bones smackdown" should Bonesmen Bush and Kerry face off in 2004.

Kerry does not want the voting public made aware of his CFR and Bones credentials. Nor does he want to be likened to Ted Kennedy and Michael Dukakis, Massachusetts archliberals out of step with the nation at large. So when he presents himself to voters, he or his handlers insist that he is a foreign policy expert who benefits from past military service.

After an appearance at a New Hampshire campaign stop on April 2nd, an exceptional need for Kerry to trot out his military service occurred. He told a small group of future primary voters that "regime change" was needed not just in Iraq but "in the United States." Reacting to Kerry’s statement, Republicans pounced on him like wolves on a wounded lamb, claiming that by using the term "regime" he had likened the Bush administration to Saddam Hussein’s tyranny. So the senator and his aides played their military card. "I don’t need any lessons in patriotism or in caring about America from the likes of the right wing," Kerry told a Georgia audience. And he speedily supplied each of his campaign spokesmen with a statement that said in part: "Unlike many of his Republican critics, Senator Kerry has worn the uniform, served his country, seen combat, so he’d just as soon skip their lectures about supporting our troops."

Kerry did serve as an officer in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. And he did win a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts. So far, so good. But when he returned home, he became a war protester. In America, of course, everybody is free to agree or disagree with a government policy. But Kerry did not just disagree; he became a leader of groups that championed our nation’s foes while our forces were still fighting and dying.

In 1971, the Communist Daily World delightedly published photos of him speaking to demonstrators as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). The April 23, 1971 Daily World boasted that the marchers displayed a banner depicting a portrait of Communist Party leader Angela Davis, who was on record stating: "I am dedicated to the overthrow of your system of government and your society."

By frequently participating in VVAW’s demonstrations, Kerry found himself marching alongside what the Boston Herald Traveler identified as "revolutionary Communists." While noting that known Reds had openly organized these events, the December 12, 1971 Herald Traveler reported the presence of an "abundance of Vietcong flags, clenched fists raised in the air, and placards plainly bearing legends in support of China, Cuba, the USSR, North Korea and the Hanoi government."

Seeking election to the U.S. House in 1972, Kerry found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, The New Soldier. His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima. Suddenly, copies of the book became unavailable and even disappeared from libraries. But the Lowell (Mass.) Sun said of the type of person shown on its cover: "These people spit on the flag, they burn the flag, they carry the flag upside down, [and] they all but wipe their noses with it in their efforts to show their contempt for everything it still stands for."

During the 1972 "Kerry for Congress" campaign, flyers invited voters to "hear Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General, who has just recently returned from a visit in North Vietnam." While in Hanoi, Clark had distinguished himself by roundly condemning the United States, heaping praise on his Communist hosts, and lecturing American prisoners of war.

In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many protests. New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote in September 2002 that the senator invited him to view 40 minutes of films Kerry made depicting his war exploits. Keller wrote that anti-war doves would still support the man they remembered for "throwing his war ribbons onto the steps of the Capitol." When pressed about what happened to his medals, Kerry now says the medals he threw away were not his and that his are displayed in his Senate office. Retired General George S. Patton III would later angrily charge that Kerry’s actions had "given aid and comfort to the enemy."

Supremely arrogant and demonstrably contemptuous of the voting public, Kerry nevertheless regularly touts his military experience during his presidential run. But he forfeited the right to do that 30 years ago. Come to think of it, if he continues to posture as a war hero, he’ll lose the friendship of Ramsey Clark, Angela Davis, and the Daily World.

"I will vote in November, as will most of my neighbors; there are some local and state candidates who have earned our vote. However, my conscience will not bother me a bit if I leave the top portion blank or write in another candidate. After all, I am irrelevant. My vote may as well be irrelevant, too."

It's comfortable knowing that all Americans are part of the "I am irrelevant" group, isn't it. How long it will take the cute cupcakes to realize that they and their children are irrelevant too?

Here is what you and the Birchers were saying about Ronald Reagan exactly 20 years ago

Anti-Elitist Reversals

The history of that period shows that Ronald Reagan exploited this issue very capably. On February 26th, in New Hampshire where the matter had become the deciding issue in the primary, voters gave him a lopsided victory. His strong showing and the correspondingly weak showing by George Bush delighted the nation's conservatives and set a pattern for future victories that carried Mr. Reagan all the way to the White House.

But something else happened on February 26, 1980 that should have raised many more eyebrows than it did. On the very day that Ronald Reagan convincingly won the nation's first primary, he replaced his campaign manager with longtime Council on Foreign Relations member William J. Casey. Mr. Casey served as the Reagan campaign manager for the balance of the campaign, and was later rewarded with an appointment as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The selection of William J. Casey in the strategically important position of campaign manager was highly significant. He is a New York lawyer who served the Nixon Administration in several positions including Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs and Chairman of the Export-Import Bank. In those two posts especially, he gained a reputation as a crusader for U.S. taxpayer-financed aid and trade with communist nations.

During this same period, while serving as an official of the State Department, Casey declared in a public speech given in Garden City, New York, that he favored U.S. policies leading to interdependence among nations and to the sacrificing of our nation's independence. (27) These attitudes are thoroughly in agreement with the long-term objectives of the Insiders, but are not at all consistent with the public positions taken by Mr. Reagan. But very few made note of the Casey appointment because very few knew anything about Mr. Casey.

Snip

Rockefeller Ties In April 1980, Mr. Reagan told an interviewer from the Christian Science Monitor (28) that he would shun the directions of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission. But George Bush, who had recently resigned both from the Trilateral Commission and from the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations, could not shake the stigma of his Insider connection.

In Florida, understanding about the Trilateral Commission led to widespread use of a political advertisement which claimed, "The same people who gave you Jimmy Carter want now to give you George Bush." (29) An identical ad appeared in Texas. The Reagan bandwagon, propelled in part by its attack on the Insiders, began to score one primary victory after another.

Eventually, Ronald Reagan convincingly won the Republican nomination. Conservatives across the nation were delighted That is, they were delighted until he shocked his supporters by selecting George Bush as his running mate. George Bush was the very epitome of the Insider Establishment type that had made so many of these people strong Reagan backers in the first place. That night, at the Republican convention, the word "betrayal" was in common usage.

Ronald Reagan had repeatedly and publicly promised that he would pick a running mate who shared his well-known conservative views. But, of all the Republicans available, he picked the man who was the darling of the Rockefellers. Nor was the Rockefeller-Bush relationship any secret.

Campaign finance information had already revealed that prior to December 31,1979, the Bush for President campaign had received individual $1,000 contributions (the highest amount allowed by law) from David Rockefeller, Edwin Rockefeller, Helen Rockefeller, Laurance Rockefeller, Mary Rockefeller, Godfrey Rockefeller, and several other Rockefeller relatives and employees.

Staunch Reagan supporters frantically tried to stop the Bush nomination. But political considerations quickly forced them to go along. One after another, they began to state that their man was still at the top of the ticket. "It was Reagan-Bush, not Bush-Reagan," they said. But all had to admit that the issue of Trilateral domination of the Carter Administration could hardly be used with a Trilateralist veteran like Bush on the ticket.

Snip

For the critically important post of White House Chief of Staff, Mr. Reagan named James Baker III. The White House Chief of Staff determines who gets to see the President, what reading material will appear on his desk, and what his policy options might be on any given situation. But James Baker had fought against Ronald Reagan as the campaign manager for George Bush in 1980, and as a campaign staffer for Gerald Ford in 1976. He is a confirmed liberal who was an opponent of the philosophy enunciated by Mr. Reagan during the 1980 campaign. In his White House post, he leads a team of like-minded men who have virtually isolated the President from the many conservatives who supported his election bid.

Snip

Policy Reversals As President, Mr. Reagan has been given the image of a tough anti-communist and a frugal budget-cutter. But the images do not hold up under close scrutiny. Only one year after taking office, he acquiesced in the taxpayer-funded bailout of Poland's indebtedness to large international banks. Even worse, he skirted the law which mandates that any nation in such financial difficulty must be formally declared in default before the U.S. government could assume its debts. What made this action doubly revealing was that it occurred at the very time that thousands of Polish citizens had been incarcerated in a typical communist crackdown against even a slight semblance of freedom.

During 1981 and 1982, Ronald Reagan personally signed authorizations for the U.S. Export-Import Bank to finance nuclear steam turbines for communist Rumania and power generation equipment and a steel plant for communist China. (32) Tens of millions of U.S. taxpayers' dollars are being provided for the industrialization of these Red tyrannies.

Also, Reagan Administration officials announced plans to sell arms to Red China; they told anti-communist businessmen in El Salvador that the U.S. would oppose efforts by any anti-communist Salvadorans to gain control of their country; and these same Administration officials refused to honor a pledge to supply Free Chinese on Taiwan with the fighter planes deemed necessary by the Chinese for defense.

Snip

More Reagan Duplicity At the halfway point of the Reagan four-year Presidential term, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office forecast budget deficits in the $150 billion range for the Reagan-directed fiscal years 1982, 1984 and 1985.34 Others insisted that the deficits would be even higher. The largest deficit in the nation's history, prior to the Reagan Administration, was $66 billion during the Ford years. Budget deficits, of course, translate into inflation, high interest rates, business slowdown, higher taxes, and unemployment. If federal spending were no more than federal revenue, if we had the benefit of a balanced budget in other words, some of these problems would be far less severe

. Shortly after he took office, Mr. Reagan twisted the arms of conservative senators and congressmen to get them to raise the ceiling on the national debt. Had he insisted on no further increases, the spiralling growth of government could have been checked. But instead, he used his influence to authorize more debt. Then he did the very same thing again eight months later, and again in 1982. As a result, interest on the debt alone grew to $117 billion for fiscal 1982.

In his State of the Union address on January 26, 1982, President Reagan again appealed to conservative Americans when he stated

: Raising taxes won't balance the budget. It will encourage more government spending and less private investment. Raising taxes will slow economic growth, reduce production and destroy future jobs.... So, I will not ask you to try to balance the budget on the backs of the American taxpayers. I will seek no tax increases this year.

One result of the failure of the Reagan Administration to stand by the philosophy which brought the President to the White House is that conservatives everywhere have been blamed for the nation's woes. The congressional elections of 1982 amounted to a significant setback for the entire conservative movement. It seemed to many voters that the conservative program had been tried and found wanting. The truth is that the conservative program has yet to be tried. And the reason why it has not been tried is that the Insiders who surround Ronald Reagan are still in control.

Snip

Will America continue on a path which amounts to fiscal suicide? Will our government continue to build and support communism everywhere, while it works simultaneously to destroy the few remaining anti-communist nations? The John Birch Society wants to put an end to Insider control of the policies of this nation. If we are to succeed, the active help of many more Americans is needed in a massive educational crusade. Whether or not you decide to help will count heavily toward whether the future for this nation will be enslavement or freedom

. The Insiders are hoping that you will do nothing. But true Americans everywhere are asking for and counting on your help. The best kind of help you can give is active support for and membership in the John Birch Society.
