Kerry Email on Filibuster Slurs People of Faith as "Extreme, Out-of-touch Interest Groups"
John Kerry.com ^ | John Kerry

Posted on 05/05/2005 8:52:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Have a look below at the latest fund-raising email from John Kerry to his supporters. The focus is on the possible use of the "nuclear option" by Senate Republicans to quash Dem filibusters of judicial nominees.

Along the way, Kerry manages to slur people of faith, describing them, in a thinly-veiled reference, as "the most extreme and out of touch interest groups in their [Republican] party."

And of course, ever-dutiful to his handlers and consultants, Kerry manages to work the word "values" into his spiel.

Read it and barf!

-------------------------------------

Dear ,

It's decision time. Republican leaders are doing everything in their power to find the votes to pass the nuclear option - and clear the way for Bush nominations of extreme judges that don't need a single Democratic vote.

We've been working hard to stop them. But, now we've got to pull out all the stops. Your immediate financial help is essential as we launch an intensive effort with a powerful newspaper ad in next Tuesday's USA Today. Your donation can help deliver our message to 2.2 million people.

For weeks now, we've been raising our voices. It's time to make them louder. George W. Bush, Tom DeLay and Bill Frist seem determined to prove how much they care about their own political power . . . and how little they care about using power to fight for what really matters to America's families.

In a matter of days, as Senator Frist gets ready to pull the trigger on the "nuclear option," we will see how far they are willing to go in sacrificing principle to satisfy the desires of the most extreme and out of touch interest groups in their party.

As this critical vote approaches, the outcome is unclear. But, this much is clear, we can't win unless committed supporters of democratic principles like you take action. Don't stand on the sidelines. Rush an immediate donation to mobilize public opposition to the Republicans' power play.

With support from people like you, the johnkerry.com community is waging an all-out effort to give voice to our values and stop Republican leaders from running roughshod over the things we value most.

We've collected over a quarter of a million signatures opposing the "nuclear option." We've collected over 600,000 more signatures demanding that Congress act to help the 11 million children living in America without health insurance. We've distributed a video to millions of people on the Washington Republicans' dangerous tactics. And, right now, we're reaching out by email, mail and phone to millions more. Your participation - and your active financial support - for these initiatives are absolutely essential. Please take a moment to help right now.

I've been traveling the country this week rallying support for our Kids First initiative to help children living without health care. The American people know what really matters. People won't stand for Republican leaders ignoring America's families any longer.

Let's get that message across. Thank you for standing up for principle at a moment of great urgency.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. In addition to helping us run our powerful new ad in USA Today, I hope you will pay frequent visits to our johnkerry.com action center next week. Events could move very quickly.

I think he might have been in Vietnam once. During the election Jane Fonda and Michael Moore hurt him so badly he got 3 purple hearts for it.

But, but I have been told here at FR many times that us crazy Christians are only 1% of the party and have no affect on elections??? Could I have been told wrong?

Apparently so, thanks for the insight.

Hmmm... things liberals value most. Let's see... abortion on demand, partial birth abortion on demand, gay marriage, socialist indoctrination in public schools, big government nanny state, higher taxes, more useless regulations and laws, gun control/ban, allowing the French to make our foreign policy decisions, etc... Man! you just gotta love these guys.

Actually, as Teresa explained to me over a plate of gin-soaked raisins, I actually won, but for the squadrons of Karl Rove-commanded black helicopters that swooped over the country on election night changing the results in the electronic voting machines manufactured by Bush's friend.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Kerry really won. Rove injected Republican nanites into the computer voting machines and they turned Kerry votes into Bush votes.

The CommiRat Party always claim to be for Freedom of Speech and yet like their model forms of Government continually attempt to squelch their opposition’s thoughts and beliefs. We have to listen to every screwball Liberal who screeches the most vile rhetoric, while every Conservative argument is labeled hatred. Justice Janice Rogers Brown delivers a rhetorical masterpiece and since she does not quote directly from the Communist Manifesto, her speech is declared by the Dimrats as extremism. These people say they are for open dialogue but just as China, Russia, Cuba and Iraq that freedom only applies to the them.

President Bush declares he wants to reform Socialist Insecurity, the foundation of the Communists and what is their response? Is there an open dialogue with all sides speaking frankly to explore all options? Of course not, it must be shot down to the point Dead Air runs a “spoof” assassinating the duly elected, not selected President of the United States. Right out of the Maoist Revolution Red Book, where you murder the entire ruling gummit.

Their party has supported fellow murderers Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Ho Chi Min, Pol Pot, Castro, Arabfat, Saddamn, Margaret Sanger among numerous other mass murdering dictators. This list is the core of Liberalism and their true charade of Free Speech. You are allowed to denounce these fellow gummits all you want against the Firing Squad Wall. Anytime you want to see Liberalism in it’s most pure form, just go look at any Communist Country and ask yourself why they build walls to keep people in, while democracies construct walls to keep people out. Ask why Liberalism wants so desperately to eliminate the Free Speech? Because their ideas cannot withstand the light of truth.

Janice Rogers Brown told an audience that people of faith were embroiled in a "war" against secular humanists who threatened to divorce America from its religious roots, according to a newspaper account of the speech. ...
"These are perilous times for people of faith," she said, "not in the sense that we are going to lose our lives, but in the sense that it will cost you something if you are a person of faith who stands up for what you believe in and say those things out loud." ...

These are words that the Left can’t let the people hear because it is the truth. They are the ones that we are at war with America, from the American Communist Lawyers Union to the No Educating Association to the National Organization of Old Broads across the spectrum of Atheistic Communists that make up the Rat Party. Justice Brown being an articulate Black Woman represents two critical Dim voting blocks and needs to be silenced. When more Blacks agree with her than with them, there will be nobody to pick the cotton??

After being rejected by the voting public again, the only tactic left to the Loony Tune Left is to keep her and the rest of the qualified Christian nominees from being voted on by the misuse of the filibuster to censor them. Moral reasoned rulings on the field of ideas would destroy the left’s lame arguments. Anyone who moves America away from Atheistic Communism is a threat to the Kumbaya, can’t we just control you; crowd.

The Dems are again complaining about the Fairness Doctrine due to Al Franken-stein’s failed talk radio. Maybe they should have hired a comedian? The fact is that the left have no answers to any problems other than turn over more of your life to the Gummit, is wrong. Americans believe in a smaller Gov and pulling their own bootstraps, so why would anyone listen to him? That is why Liberals are all for silencing anybody who disagrees with their worldview. From Political Correctness censorship to terminology like Vast Right-wing Conspiracy to not letting a Black Woman have an up or down vote is a last ditch effort to squelch her. The same people that scream count every vote in every losing election will not allow 10 Senators to vote for the advancement of a Black Woman.

This Stalinism will work for a short time. It is time for the Conservatives to stand for Free Speech which is the bedrock which this Country stands. If we allow our most articulate voices to be squelched, then there is no such thing as Free Speech. Without the open exchange of ideas good or bad, we will not see progress on any issues. This is why the Republican Party has to go ballistic in this war to end their Che Guevera tactics in the Senate and have an up or down vote on our Judges. Lady Liberty requires that any voice be heard and is time for every vote to be counted.

Pray for W and Our Troops

It's more or less a "humanist" religion of the prevailing liberal "ethic." It's roots are in NYC. There's one in my old Brooklyn neighhborhood -- a beautiful old building that no one I knew considered a "church."

You can google "Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture" for their web pages. Their "Ethical links" include United for Peace and Justice, Amnesty International and the United Nations, but you'll be hard-pressed to find any reference to God.
