If this nation puts Kerry in the White House, we will face unimaginable potential for horror IMHO.

It is amazing to me...almost impossible to believe, that so many people could be so blind...could follow the pied piper. Kerry is the most left leaning politician to have ever been in the Senate. His record is that of a pure, unadulterated socialist/marxist. He is an enemy to the foundational principles upon which this nation has been founded and what has made her great...and he is unapologetic about it, and been extremely vocal about it over the years. He out and out betrayed this nation and all those who have fought and bled for her...and consorted with the enemy in so doing...he has not changed since.

How so many could have forgotten the lessons of 9-11, or the stark reality of what it is the terrorists and those nationa and organizations that support them are doing up to this day...is beyond me. I pray that the majority of Americans...the vast majority...come out in numbers on November 2nd and defy and astonish this cabal of politicians, media, entertainers and their followers.

If we do not...I fear the horror we face will be magnified ten fold.

I am getting sick and tired of the tone that Kerry/Edwards and their bunch of misfits are using. I wish the bush campaign would refer to the Kerry/Edwards ticket as the “Doom & Gloom” candidates. Use it in the debates, use it in advertising, use it on the stump!

“ John Kerry”, having nothing positive to say about America since 1971, to listen to him you would think we are all doomed………sKerrrrryyyyy…

HELP – Let’s all stop saying and writing Kerry/Edwards and post the truth “Doom/Gloom 04”

LIE: Kerry/Edwards 04
TRUTH: "Doom/Gloom 04”

Your information gathering skills are just amazing...... thanks Mia

Hindsight - Does the candidate Kerry have a crystal ball to tell him if a "threat is imminent"? How easily he takes what we know now for "what he would do" now - question is how would he have reacted on 9/11 and then how would he have fought the war - since he is such an expert on the art of war, Kerry would have dismissed any General's plan to execute the war in Iraq as only Kerry and his 3 MONTHS+12 DAYS IN VIETNAM - THAT'S RIGHT - THE FIRST MONTH WAS SPENT IN TRAINING know how to wage war........
Kerry does not understand Terrorism nor does he know how to fight them...maybe John Edwards would just sue them...America cannot afford nor trust the Johns, let alone their life styles.

U.S. Alerts Schools About Terror Threat
Yahoo News ^ | Ben Feller

WASHINGTON - The Education Department has advised school leaders nationwide to watch for people spying on their buildings or buses to help detect any possibility of terrorism like the deadly school siege in Russia.

The warning follows an analysis by the FBI (news - web sites) and the Homeland Security Department of the siege that killed nearly 340 people, many of them students, in the city of Beslan last month.

"The horror of this attack may have created significant anxiety in our own country among parents, students, faculty staff and other community members," Deputy Education Secretary Eugene Hickok said in a letter to schools and education groups.

The safety advice is based on lessons learned from the Russia incident. But there is "no specific information indicating that there is a terrorist threat to any schools or universities in the United States," Hickok said.

Federal law enforcement officials also have encouraged local police to stay in contact with school officials and have encouraged reporting of suspicious activities, the letter says.

In particular, schools were told to watch for activities that may be legitimate on their own &emdash; but may suggest a heightened terrorist threat if many of them occur.

Among those activities:

_ Interest in obtaining site plans for schools, bus routes and attendance lists;

_ Prolonged "static surveillance" by people disguised as panhandlers, shoe shiners, newspaper or flower vendors or street sweepers not previously seen in the area;

_ Observations of security drills;

_ People staring at or quickly looking away from employees or vehicles as they enter or leave parking areas;

_ Foot surveillance of campuses involving individuals working together.

The effort is the latest by the Education Department and other federal agencies to encourage school officials to maintain and practice a plan for responding to emergencies.

After the terrorist takeover of the Russian school, President Bush (news - web sites) asked his top advisers to review their strategies for dealing with hostage situations, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has said.

The federal government is advising schools to take many steps to improve the security of their buildings. Those include installing locks for all doors and windows, having a single entry point into buildings and ensuring they can reach school bus drivers in an emergency.

The Education Department sent its letter by e-mail Wednesday to school police, state school officers, school boards, groups representing principals and many other organizations.

The Homeland Security Department also sent a bulletin Wednesday to federal, state and local emergency officials to provide fresh guidance based on the review of the school siege in Russia.
