Hello carenot. I think he's great! Very few things that I disagree with him about. You would have to have a Congress full of Ron Paul's for two generations and presidents that are real conservatives just to begin to restore the Constitution and save the Republic. The American people want compassionate communism, so, they will have it. The fall of the Republic is on the way. Just think of 535 people drilling 1/16th inch holes in the bottom of the Titanic, day and night. This post by rightwing2 pretty much sums it up as far as index scores:
TOP "TEN" CONSERVATIVE LIST based on 2001 Conservative Index scores published in The New American magazine:
US House
1. Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) 95%
2. Rep. Paul (R-TX) (former Libertarian) 92%
3. Rep. Schaefer (R-CO) 90%
4. Rep. Hostettler (R-IN) 88%
5. Rep. Royce (R-CA) 84%
6. Rep. Rohrbacher (R-CA) 83%
7. Rep. Sensenbrenner (R-WI) 81%
8. Rep. Duncan (R-TN) 79%
9. Rep. Barr (R-GA) Rep. Goode (R-VA) (former Democrat) Rep. Pombo (R-CA) all tied for 9th place with a 78% conservative rating.
US Senate
1. Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ) 74%
2. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) 72%
3. Sen. Robert Smith (R-NH), Sen. James Inhofe & Sen Voinovich (R-OH) 70%
4. Sen. Strom Thurmond 69% (former Democrat)
5. Sen Phil Gramm (R-TX), Sen. Campbell (R-CO) (both former Democrats) & Sen. Frank Murkowski at 67%
6. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) & Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) at 65%
To provide context, as a general rule conservatives are anyone that has a Conservative Index score around 65% or better. Moderate conservatives fall into the 50-65% range, moderates in the 40s and liberals in the 30s and below so the listing of conservative Senators above is fairly comprehensive while the more numerous House of Reps scores above omits many good conservatives of which there tend to be around 35-40, in this case all of whom are probably Republicans.
Ron Paul almost always scores as the top conservative followed by Dana Rohrabacher and Bob Barr in the House. In the Senate, Bob Smith (a personal hero of mine) usually scores as the top conservative and Don Nickles who is running against Trent Lott for Senate Minority Leader usually scores in the top ten. The Senate conservative numbers were unusually low presumably due to the fact that the GOP supported more liberal "bipartisan" legislation than normal. The other surprising thing is the fact that Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) scored #1 conservative in the house besting even traditional conservative champion, Ron Paul. If I am correct in assuming that this is the same Rep. Tancredo that has been leading the charge against Bush on Bush's indefensible support of open-borders immigration, then we have got a new veritable conservative hero/icon on our hands in the House of Reps!!

DITTO !
I collected much of the info in this article for Jasper and also gave the info about the players at WISE and Southern Florida to Jayna Davis in 1997 and 1998. I also contacted Emersons office and talked to his staff at length at this time (1997-1998)and passed all my info from the calls with Emersons office to Jasper and Jayna Davis. Davis gave my information on these matters to Bodansy and Congress James Saxon of the House Task Force on Terorism and Unconventional Warfare and as I learned later to others associated with the FBI and other intelligence groups.
There was a raid on a mosque in OKC by Federal authorites on MArch 13, 1995 believed related to the terror activites of HAmas, WISE and Southern Florida in connection with the OKC bombing on APril 19, 1995.

Mueller:
b. The Department of Justice
William Barr, President Bush's Attorney General in 1992, testified that White House Cabinet Secretary Edith Holiday asked him on September 17, 1992, during a flight on Air Force One, whether he was aware of an "S&L matter[]" involving Bill Clinton pending before the Justice Department.[74]
At the time, Holiday was serving as the "chief liaison" between the Bush White House and the 1992 Bush-Quayle Reelection Campaign.[75]
Holiday had served previously as Chief Counsel and National Financial and Operations Director of the 1988 Bush-Quayle Presidential Campaign and as Counselor to the Secretary and General Counsel of the Department of the Treasury under Secretary Nicholas Brady.[76]
Barr testified that when he returned to the Justice Department he asked Ira Raphaelson, his Special Counsel for Financial Crimes, to check whether there was an S&L case involving the Clintons pending before the Justice Department.[77]
Raphaelson told Barr that he would contact the FBI.[78] Raphaelson got back to Barr shortly thereafter and told him that the FBI had no record of such a case.[79]
Barr testified that he reported to Holiday that there was no record of an S&L matter involving the Clintons pending before the Justice Department.[80] Barr thought that Holiday seemed surprised to hear this, and Holiday's reaction made Barr wonder "if she had better information" than he.[81]
Barr went back to Raphaelson and asked him to check again for a record of a pending S&L matter involving the Clintons.[82] Raphaelson contacted the FBI again and the Executive Office of United States Attorneys and soon learned that an RTC criminal referral mentioning the Clintons did exist.[83]
When Raphaelson reported this information to Barr, Barr was angry because he felt that the United States Attorney in Little Rock had "deliberately withheld" information about the referral from him.[84]
Raphaelson testified that he learned of the Madison referral near the time that the United States Attorney in Little Rock forwarded it to the Department of Justice in Washington in an "Urgent Report" dated October 7, 1992.[85]
On October 8, 1992, one day after the Department of Justice in Washington received the referral, Raphaelson discussed the referral at a meeting attended by Robert Mueller, the head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, and by FBI Assistant Director Larry Potts and other senior FBI officials.[86]
The next day, October 9, 1992, FBI Headquarters sent a teletype to the FBI's Little Rock field office directing them to review the Madison referral and to report back by October 16, 1992.[87]
The Little Rock field office reported back on October 16, 1992, concurring in the view of United States Attorney Banks that no action should be taken on the referral at that time.[88]
Holiday denied any recollection of having asked Barr in September 1992 whether he was aware of an S&L matter involving the Clintons pending before the Department of Justice.[89] Holiday also denied any recollection of having had a subsequent conversation with Barr about the S&L matter prior to the 1992 election.[90]
How's this:
Slammin' Sami! - Sami Al-Arian has strange friends
"Videotape exists of a 1988 fund-raiser at which Fawaz Damra, imam of a Cleveland mosque, introduces Sami Al-Arian as "the director of the program." Al-Arian s charity, Damra explained, "is the active arm of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, and we like to call it the Islamic Committee for Palestine here for security reasons. Donate to the Islamic Jihad. If you write a check, write it for the Islamic Committee for Palestine: ICP. "
Two days ago, interviewed for a front-page profile in the Wall Street Journal, Sami Al-Arian boasted that":
"No other country would allow me to do what we did. In Israel I would be in jail. In Syria I would be dead. But this is America."
Stop Aid and Comfort for Patrons of Terror - By Steven Emerson
"After the ex-professor assumed his Islamic Jihad post, the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service raided his former campus office, as well as the offices and home of his USF colleague Sami Al-Arian, the founder of WISE and an affiliated "religious charity" called the Islamic Committee for Palestine. Federal investigators uncovered overwhelming evidence that both organizations were arms of Islamic Jihad. Under the cover of legitimacy its university affiliation provided, WISE actually brought terrorists into the U.S. and raised funds for Islamic Jihad. Mr. Al-Arian, now under federal investigation, organized a series of conferences for "Islamic leaders and thinkers" in Chicago and St. Louis between 1988 and 1992, which featured a number of the world's top, terrorist leaders. The evidence found in his home and office constitute one of the largest collections of raw terrorist material ever seized in the U.S."
