My erudite wife - the fabulous Cindy - observed not long ago: "They desperately wanted to defeat Howard Dean 'cause they knew he couldn't win. They then picked John Kerry who looked good to them. Problem is, they didn't know anything about him and they picked a real bozo." IT IS NOW TIME TO THANK THE DEMOCRATS FOR NOMINATING AN UNELECTABLE CHARLATON. The carefully designed and highly vaunted Democrat Primary system has totally boomeranged by nominating an insufficiently vetted John Kerry who carries the fatal baggage of hatred directed directly at him of two thirds of all his Vietnam veteran...

This Vicious Election Season Illustrates the Evil of Ideology and the very real Danger it represents to America Part 1. As I start the first week of my seventh decade, I have come to the conclusion that IDEOLOGY is, by far, the worst product of the mind of man. As I now see it, Ideology as promoted by Politicians is the sole cause of the appalling murder of well over a hundred million human beings and the brutal enslavement of billions more during the Twentieth Century. First, a few definitions – Ideology is a utopian construct designed to motivate a...

Everytime I read something like this I get even prouder that I shook the hand of John O'Neill as I helped move the VVAJK banner to the other side of the speakers area at the 9/12 KERRY LIED RALLY in DC. My wife even loves him. I sure hope he runs for office the next time around. When I was posting on Lefty sites I was chagrined to see that a lot of Lefties are scheming to hurt his law practice, Can you imagine that?

Cal Thomas advises Kerry & Bush on debate strategy Cal Thomas Debate advice and questions Will many people watch the "debates," which resemble joint news conferences? The rules are so strict that the candidates don't engage each other. One-third of homes with television sets watched the first 2000 presidential debate between Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. The first debate traditionally draws the most viewers, possibly including those precious "undecideds," so here is some unsolicited advice and suggested questions for both candidates. For Sen. Kerry: You have the most to prove. You are a rich, elitist Massachusetts...

Bob Novak show us why the CIA (and the State Department by extrapolation) needs to be cleaned out. The CIA is full of Pacifist types who don't want to make the people who hate us hate us more. Is CIA at war with Bush? September 27, 2004 BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST A few hours after George W. Bush dismissed a pessimistic CIA report on Iraq as ''just guessing,'' the analyst who identified himself as its author told a private dinner last week of secret, unheeded warnings years ago about going to war in Iraq. This exchange leads to the...

Listen; there are two main factions of political thought in the human race. One faction traces its lineage back to Socrates and his student/publisher Plato. Socrates voluntarily took the hemlock and died for “the truth” as he saw it. The other faction traces its lineage back to Plato’s friend Aristotle. Aristotle trained Alexander in the art of war who made lots of others die for “the truth” as he saw it. Modern analogs of these two factions are the person who parks his alternative fuel vehicle with the “Visualize Peace” bumper sticker in front of his modest home; while the...

How the Liberal Press doomed the Left - COMPETENT AMERICANS Part 2 The meltdown of Dan Rather and CBS is only the latest indication of this historical truth. Here’s a crazy wild-assed prediction: CBS will come over to the Right side and compete with FOX rather than ABC, NBC and CNN. It makes perfect sense doesn’t it? They’re last and sinking fast versus ABC and NBC and they are in serious legal jeopardy as a result of Rathergate. As a more Republican-friendly network they would probably turn around and actually grow as well as buying some legal protection by punishing...

September 24, 2004 The Viciousness of the Democrats in this Campaign comes from their realization that this is their last Opportunity for Power in America. – COMPETENT AMERICANS Part 1 The Presidential Election of 2004 will be remembered as the last major battle of the practitioners of Proletarian Ideology in America. This is not the end of the Democrat Party because clever and charismatic centrist Democrats like Bill and Hilary Clinton will always have a chance to gain power, but rather it is the end of the Left Wing Pacifist wing of the Democrat Party. This will become obvious to...

The evidence is compelling - JOHN KERRY KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE SPORTS AMERICA CARES ABOUT. Last month, John Kerry lauded "Lambert Field" during a visit to Wisconsin. He has yet to acknowledge Lambeau Field, the historic home of the Green Bay Packers. (Look for a Football Fans For Truth billboard coming soon near Lambeau Field, educating Wisconsin football fans about Kerry.) John Kerry also praised the Ohio State Buckeyes football team--during a visit to Michigan. John Kerry throws a football like a girl. NEW! Outraged fans throughout the nation have alerted us to The Great Football Flinch (right). We combed...

Have you ever seen a more juvenile campaign for office than the Kerry Campaign? Have you ever seen a candidate for President of the United States so poorly qualified for executive leadership? Here we have a Presidential candidate who has a record that shows absolutely no accomplishment in his adult life other than getting elected in Massachusetts where the most liberal candidate almost always wins (except for the Governorship – we may be stupid but we’re not dumb.) Listen, after watching John Kerry in action, I’ve decided that I’m more qualified to be president than him, so here’s my platform;...

Iraq is greatful! Allawi Touts Iraq Progress, Thanks U.S. Sep 23, 10:29 AM (ET) By JENNIFER LOVEN WASHINGTON (AP) - Offering a simple, "Thank you America," Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi declared Thursday that his country is succeeding in its effort to move past the war that ousted Saddam Hussein. In an appearance that President Bush's advisers hoped would ease American voters' doubts about the troubled campaign in Iraq, Allawi told a joint meeting of Congress that despite struggles and setbacks, "the values of liberty and democracy" are taking hold there. "Today, we are better off, you are better...

Teresa Heinz grew up the daughter of a rich dentist in the slave-holding Portuguese territory of Mozambique. Slavery was universally practiced in Mozambique until 1970. I spent some time there in Lorenzo Marques and Beira back in the 60s and have a pretty good idea of the life of the colonial Portuguese and their viciously exploited slaves. Furthermore, the Portuguese Mozambicans “leased out” their black slaves to neighboring countries for large projects. The blacks there were considered Kaffirs which meant not quite human to them. I'll never forget viewing several hundred blacks shoveling urea from the deck of my ship...

Once again it is becoming obvious to me that Leftwing Democrats are lagging Republicans in evolutionary development. Check out these three posts from typical leftwing blog posters: “what a f*ing joke this country is. i mean, really. is it even worth saving? Posted by: Anonymous “ “Michelle Malkin is a psychotic racist bitch. If Spidle is describing her as "his belle", that says some very bad things about him. Spidle, why do you love psychotic racists? Posted by: Scooter” Michelle Malkin is a racist through and through whose own arguments are based on long-discredited information and justifications that were killed...

Alan Greenspan, on the other hand, has shown a brilliant understanding and mastery of the tools he has (interest rates and money supply) to manage our economy’s momentum. He’s mastered the phasing and calibrating of his interventions to keep the US economy on an even keel while growing the national wealth with only one notable exception. And that exception was his unwillingness to reign in the bubble economy of Clinton’s second term with sufficient negative momentum inputs (rate increases). With that exception, he has shown us how to leverage small rate changes timed early enough relative to the business cycle...

Here we have two people of color who use their good sense to explain why, in today's dangerouse world, we need to include race and religion in our Homeland Defense plans and strategies. September 21, 2004 Back in 1939, when Senator Daniel Inouye was a teenager, he attended a Japanese language school in Hawaii. He was appalled to discover that it was also a center for political propaganda, urging young Japanese Americans like himself to remember that they were Japanese first and owed an over-riding loyalty to Japan -- in peace or in war. They also ridiculed Christianity. When young...

Barton Cannot Return To Iraq Due To Injuries COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A local soldier back from the war in Iraq said he was beaten at an area concert because of what was printed on his T-shirt, NBC 4's Nancy Burton reported. FeedRoom Soldier Reportedly Attacked Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple Heart for his military service in Iraq. He almost lost his leg last month after a Humvee he was riding in ran over a landmine. Barton said he was injured again Friday night in a crowded parking lot as he was leaving the Toby Keith concert...

Yesterday I was chatting with my neighbor who is an agent with the Defense Intelligence Agency. I was telling her of my experience when I was in Bangkok back in 1990. I remember reading in the English language Thai neswpaper how the last Communist insurgents were surrendering in a general amnesty. They were forgiven by the government if they came in and turned in their weapons. Back in the 60s and 70s Thailand was also fighting a significant Communist guerilla movement with American help. The Vietnam War actually saved Thailand from the Communist plague by giving the Thai government time...

JOHN F. KERRY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DEFEND AMERICA NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS. After watching Kerry explain his 4 point plan, it is plain that he just restated what Bush is already doing and it is further obvious from his record that he is a PACIFIST. And, that he will never take any real action to protect America. Kerry really believes you should fight evil with words, not arms. He may say forcefully that he will fight back if anyone hits us first... But, you, me and our enemies know better. Remember what the greatest of all Democrats...

the PAJAMAHIDIN will destroy the network news establishment As Rather goes, so goes network news James P. Pinkerton September 21, 2004 These are the final days for Dan Rather. But the story of the fake documents aired on "60 Minutes" is deeper than just one man's fall. It is the story of technology's transition-and that's a tale that will never end. By any fair reckoning, Rather should resign. As a big shot at CBS News-in addition to being anchorman-in-chief, he has been the managing editor of the CBS Evening News since March 1981-he deserves to be held to the same...

Ask Ralph Nader if the elite media are liberal. If you have any, ask your Lefty friends if the EM are liberal (Here in Massachusetts my friends are mainly lefties). They'll all answer, correctly, that the elite media is controlled by corporate interests and thus not liberal. Well, how in the hell do you reconcile the obvious bias Dan Rather has so clumsily reaved with the EM being corporate controlled? Let me explain: 1 - The elite media is pro-Democrat and anti-Republican. This is very different from "liberal" or "lefty 2 - Big business is obviously also pro-Democrat. Why, do...
