From an article once posted by Tailgunner Joe:
On January 18 Rep. John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat, told a placard-waving anti-war crowd: "The greatest patriots of this country are here today...The president said it'd be a cold day in Washington before this country turns against this war, but it is a cold day in Washington and here we are."Apart from Conyers nasty insinuation people who disagree with his leftwing views about war against the genocidal Saddam are not patriotic, what can we deduce from his presence? Well, for one, Rep. does not like America and prefers the company of totalitarians to that of genuine democrats. And how do I know this? Because, as he well knows, the demonstration was organized by ANSWER which in turn takes its instructions from the WWP, a Stalinist organisation that also fronts for North Korea and Saddam Hussein. Knowing this Conyers still collaborated with them in an attempt try to subvert the Bush Administration.
It is quite interesting to learn precisely what Conyers means by a patriot. In 1979 he addressed the first national conference of the USPC (United States Peace Council) along with Romesh Chandra, a KGB agent, who also headed the WPC (World Peace Council). The USPC was a subsidiary of the WPC which in turn received 90 percent of its funding from the KGB. The organisation was established by the IDCC (International Department of the Central Committee) and the bloodstained Boris Ponomarev was its chief. All of this was an open secret that Conyers also shared. But it did not bother him.
In case anyone is naïve enough to have any doubts about Ponomarev's intentions, which means the Politburo's plans, he issued instructions in 1974 calling on Russia's allies (agents of influence and active KGB agents) within Western political parties to "neutralize" anti-communist leaders, including those in America....

In 1975, acting as point man for the IPS, he [John Conures] organized a group of congressmen to request that the organisation prepare an alternative budget to Ford's budget. The result was a socialist manifesto that Conyers thought was the cat's whiskers. (Conyers is not known for the power of his intellect). The same shabby intellectual process was followed the next year with the same shabby socialist intellectual results. One of its suggestions was to savage defense to the extent of badly crippling our military forces. (Readers will be interested to know that the IPS has strong links to the New York Times, The Washington Post and L A Times. That might explain these papers homogenized political opinions.)--- "Rep.
