Are you sure you don't mean "The League of Women Voters"?
Yesterday I composed the following:
Sorry, fellow FReepers, but I've yet to see any sign than our president will deliver on any of his promises, other than continued open borders, and favoritism for illegal immigrants which American citizens are so against. I sincerely pray that I am entirely mistaken about this. Sadly, I cannot but believe my "lying eyes".
Now his appointee to the AG, Gonzales caves to the gunbanese. Frist caves to the judiciary. Unfortunately, if the Illinois GOP can be infiltrated by the far left, why should anyone be shocked that many of our Republicans in Washington DC have also sold their souls to the Socialists? I have been a conservative Republican registered voter since 1952, and have sadly watched the drift to the left of that august party.
I realize GWB has yet to be inaugurated, but I question his naivety on Russia and China, not to speak of France. Wishy-washy isn't going to cut it in the world today. It really never has. Let us hope the President is only wearing a velvet glove over an iron hand. The other guys are playing bloody down, ddirty and for keeps. Be wary, Mr. President.
In the campaign for relection, his devoted supporters, you and me, with stars in our eyes, slaved, prayed and payed to elect him over the disingenuous "war hero"-Communist, John Kerry, thinking we have saved the nation. We were, and are, celebrating the election of a true patriot. I pray with everything within me that we have done just that.
But consider the following.
GWB now has a free hand. He doesn't have to answer to anyone again because he cannot serve a third term (at this point in time). The mandate he claims may not be the one we gave him, but one those behind the scenes may have scripted for him. We look hopefully for signs that he will do what is truly best for our great Republic. We look to him to select Federal judges who will adhere to the Constitution, not enact laws from the bench; that he will work toward banishing abortion, and that our borders will be at last secured. The months ahead will tell the tale.
A HIDEOUS SCENARIO:
Good looking, God fearing GWB is chosen by those behind the scenes to run and be elected in order to ensure a smooth transition to the New World Order down the line. During his first term GWB charms us, increasing the ranks behind him.
On 9-11-01 a terrorist attack on the World Trade Buildings stuns our nation! Around 3000 innocent souls are dead! The President springs into action, doing all the things a good president should do. War on terrorism ensues, and rightfully so! So does the the bodily search of innoocent American air travellers become commonplace as illegal immigrants stream across our borders, both North and South. More suveillance cameras are set up on corners across the country. Privacy and other freedoms are given up for "security purposes." Trained National Guard personel are deployed out of the country.
"Hate crimes" spring into being, by homosexuals, for one group. Gjn banning raises it's ugly head again the the hallowed halls of Congress. The gap between conservatives and liberals widens as passions intensify. Christianity is thrown out of Federal schools, and off the walls of Court Houses; Christmas becomes "Winter Holiday", carols are not allowed to be sung in public, while Islam, "the religion of peace" is taught at length in those schools. Christians are thrown into jail for preaching redemption on the street corners while pornography is considered "free speech", man-boy love a civil right (?), and immorality, bad language, and unutterable violence parades across our television screens 24-7.
The news media has been taken over by far left wingeres who hate this country, and are intent on making their own news. Academe focuses on further indoctinating our brightest and out best.
Illegal immigrants and terrorists continue to flood into the country. A network of help for these people becomes lucrative, and subversive camps are set up in strategic locations for terrorists. Americans are unable to find work as farmers, restaurant owners, filling statiions, contractors, ranchers, factories and corporations hire illegals at vrery low wages. Teachers are required, in many instances, to teach in languages other than in English, which would benefit them immensely. Social Security, SSI, rent subsidies, and food stamps are given the illegals, becoming a serious drain on our economy.
It is becoming more and more an "us and them" nation. A nation divided in so many ways! There were red flags leading up to what is written above, waving brazenly in the wind, bur few were to notice. After all, there was nothing THEY could do about it, was there? No time. No bother.
And so to all the men and women throughout history who have given their lives to keep the people in America free and safe under the finest government ever devised by man and God, what do we say: What do we do? We are a generous people! We do not hesitate to help where ever help is needed. Yet the question remains. What do we do here? What do we do now?
END OF HIDEOUS SCENARIO
Much has been left out of the above, in the interest of "brevity." However each point made is straight out of the Communist hand book
A beginning: Repent your sins and change your ways. Pray to Almighty God for direction and guidance. Be still and listen to that quiet inner voice. And, FReepers, I know you will keep your eyes and ears open. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
And they call us slack jawed hillbillies. LOL He looks like he is going to start dribbling spit at any moment.
I give Rick all the credit in the world for his Goldwater book. It was superbly done.
What I can't fathom, though, is that he apparently learned nothing from it.
How does one do that? Research and write a scholarly book, then erase everything you had to learn and understand in order to complete the project.
I agree with alot of your post. But George Bush loves America and he is probably our last patriotic President we will ever have. The drain on our economy from illegals cashing in on government services is made worse by the fact that millions, possibly billions of American dollars are being taken out of the economy every year and sent to Mexico in the form of money orders.
It's perverted is what it is.
Some people should just stick to latex.
Wow! Interesting read.
I haven't seen this many strawmen since that three day ride through Nebraska . . .
. . . these many . . .
If Prez Bush "really" want's to do that, than I am all for it. Look at it; those 3 anathema's are the pillars of our ailing society, stifling growth,opportunity, and yes, freedom of expression, not to mention crass invasion in ones property rights.
If privatizing a portion of the SS contributions will do that,... holly cow we are in good shape. ( no need for tort reform, reign in on the environmental wackos, clamp the "friendly" union tugs, God, a dream comes true...)
ROFLOL!
About Teddy Kennedy and No Child Left Behind: you know the White House utterly reneged on the pledges they made to him about the law.
-Perlstein
and my response to it:
Of course Teddy complained. He was a utterly shocked, as was I and most conservatives, when Bush completely signed off on his asinine big government education plan. But then Teddy disingenously realized he could just bitch about it anyway and try to make it an issue in the campaign. It didn't work.
Besides, all Teddy's whinging about the NCLB act has been in regards to funding he claims Bush never produced. Maybe Teddy's right, maybe he's wrong, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the testing complaints you brought up.
The only citation you give for your complaint is from the American Educational Research Association - a liberal thinktank dedicated to eradicating the world of homeschoolers (that might be a bit hyperbolic, but they are by no means an unbiased news source.) They are against absolutely anything that might hold public schools accountable for the billions sent their way each year.
“When conflicts about the education of children arise, parents cannot wield a trump card based solely on their own understanding of their child's best interests.”
- Rob Reich, "Testing the Boundaries of Parental Authority Over Education: The Case of Homeschooling."
Just gives you some indication of their agenda. They're perfectly entitled to their opinions, but people should know about their motivations when weighing the value of the statistics they make up.
He's a worldbeater, all right (Mark Steyn beats up on the Dems!)
