The Tower of Winds This is not CNN. This is not the Ted Turner perspective. If you want the Jane Fonda, Barbara Streisand perspective, tune into CNN. Go listen to Bob Dole or Bill Clinton. As for the hopelessly conclave groupies of the Clinton cult, call what you don't like to hear poetic license - or anything you want to call it - because even if it was that, every Clinton flunkey deserves little else anyway. If you can't find the force esprit of honesty to step down from the tower of faulty self-righteous liberal fables or to move beyond ...

Let the games begin Vice President Al Gore, I would like to congratulate you on your victory in receiving the Democratic Party nomination as candidate to the office of President of the United States. Right off, I want to state that in no way do I consider you of such disrepute as William Jefferson Clinton, who is soon to leave office as an impeached President. I believe that the so-called vast right wing conspiracy, in general, feels the same, though no doubt this will be a heated campaign, and there are a number of issues in regards to your ...

LIBERAL CULTURE KILLS Who controls the public schools - the gun culture or liberal culture? The answer is that the public schools are firmly in the oppressive clutches of the liberal culture. Where the so-called gun culture breathes it's supposed NRA administered "puppet-mastery" life into the lungs of a demonic Pinocchio on the campuses of our public schools is quite a mystery, because the NRA certainly isn't in charge of our public schools, and is attacked by the liberal culture that runs our public sector, a liberal culture that wants to choke the very life out of the NRA. But ...

McCain Doesn't Endorse Bush Can you imagine what Armstrong must have felt, when he first stepped on the moon? Al Gore wouldn't know, though I would not be surprised if he tells us he's the man on the moon, next. And, basically, that is what it's going to take for Al Gore to win - he's going to have to go to the moon or something, because he already told us he invented the internet, but that wasn't good enough. No. He's going to have to go to the moon. Then maybe he can win. Because, basically, for Al Gore ...

Open Letter to Jim Nicholson, Chairman, on the Michigan Open Primary We have the incredibly appalling dilemma of a candidate, Governor Bush, getting 70% of the Republican vote in a Republican primary, and losing the primary because there were more Democrats and so-called "independents" voting in a Republican primary then registered Republicans themselves. I am alarmed with the dishonor and deception of this sort of open primary, and though I welcome competition for true independents, this chicanery by the Democrats, a tactic openly acknowledged prior to the primary in Michigan as a strategy by well known DNC operatives to try ...

IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, IT'S A DUCK. IF IT QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, IT'S A DUCK. DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR McCAIN. Almost more Democrats and "independents" voted in the Michigan Republican primary than Republicans. DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR McCAIN. McCAIN IS A DEMOCRAT. THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DIDN'T VOTE FOR McCAIN. THE SAME CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL NOT VOTE FOR McCAIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. NEITHER WILL THE CORE OF THE DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR McCAIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. THERE IS A TALK SHOW HOST NAMED MICHAEL SAVAGE on KSFO RADIO - A CONSERVATIVE STATION WHICH ...

The Yellow VW Bus of McCain 2000 Liberalism is about mistrust, monitoring and control over individual self-reliance, about the self-grandisement of government, the perpetuation of dependence upon government, and the ardour to consume every element of sovereignty yet free from the claws of the State. A liberal is a Democrat. Democrats voted for McCain in particularly ample numbers in South Carolina. The Democratic Party is the party of Socialism. And Socialism sucks. The Democratic Party is the enemy of Democracy. The soothsayers of the Democratic Party are the talking heads of the phony, leftist, controlling news-media networks. These same soothsayers ...

THE INSIDE OF THE COLLECTIVE McCain talks of crusades. Oh, there is a crusade, alright. Like, Joan of Arc led a crusade. But, McCain doesn't get it. There's now a crusade, but he isn't leading it. He is looking at it, and it is coming after him. Yes, Mr. McCain's face was the poster boy on the cover of all the liberal establishment rags. Just get the folks out to vote in S.C., and McCain has got his victory, they told us. Yes sir, it's a crusade. The poster boy is suppose to be a member of a particular ...

Conservatives, you better get your prerogatives straight. I hope you all saw today's CNN, Clinton News Network, Inside Politics piece. You know what CNN is. You do not need to be told. This totally discredited news service, which even makes up false stories such as the Tailwind piece as part of a blatant leftist agenda, is nothing but a spoke in the wheel of the government-media complex, their so-called "journalists" simply groupies of the Clinton Cult, for the last eight years nothing but the DNC mouthpiece for the Clinton Administration, and of course much worse than that. They vomit on ...

Edward the Black The Senator from Arizona certainly did have his victory in N.H., and it looks like another is possible in the Carolinas. The Senator said that the "bump in the road" for Bush in N.H. looks more like "the entire transmission fell out". I can assure the Senator that nothing of the sort has happened. But McCain certainly is for real, now. And, what this has done, what it means, is that the game now becomes deadly serious. The first, immediate impact, of the McCain victory is to suddenly throw a lot of conservatives, either directly as newly-baptized ...

Hatch: Stalwart & Regal Senator Hatch of Utah has been a valued contributor to the fabric of our national success for almost 25 years as a member of the Senate. Of all the candidates currently contending for the nomination, it would be the experience and leadership of Orrin Hatch that I would have turned to as the administrator I would have had the most confidence in as my representative of the chief executive position on behalf of the American people. The Senator could have reached across party lines, and he was the leader that I felt had the real experience ...

Hot Dogs, the Iowa Caucus, and International Communism The first sausage is mentioned by Homer in his Odyssey. But this was not officially the hot dog as we know it. The Odyssey was first put to verse in the 9th Century B.C., so the sausage is thousands of years old. However, the hot dog is basically a 20th Century A.D. phenomenon, fundamentally the food that de-marks our Century just past from all previous. There are two things that premise the entire 20th Century - mass murder of disarmed citizens by government, and the hot dog. We have lived the Century ...

McCain slipping to Bush Big Gains for Forbes and Keyes Here's is how the Clintonista sycophants in the press spin McCain's exposure as a byway candidate and disastrous flop in Iowa: "McCain didn't run in Iowa" (ABC), "McCain, who skipped Iowa" . . . "placed in the top four" - wha? ! ? ! ? ! (CBS), "McCain camp is pleased with results (in Iowa)" (CNN - Clinton News Network), yadda, yadda, yadda. The basic dis-information of the phony news networks who give McCain their due deference while using every opportunity to indoctrinate the hearts and minds of America for ...

Tomorrow is Iowa Up until now, it's all been sophistry. I count the polls among it. Tomorrow, the quibbling of the dominant media will meet the first test in Iowa. With each primary, the D-day which ultimately comes down to the influence of the voter or the direct ballot, the truth will become clear regarding the Republican nominee. We are told what is suppose to be truth, but certainly what the controlling media delivers is far from that. In fact, one can say for certain, when it comes to the government-media complex, the truth is that they cannot speak the ...

Boy Lama's Escape from Tibet: Strains India-China Relations by Vinod Dhawan IP'S Asia Bureau NEW DELHI - January 21, 2000: India and China find themselves in a politically and diplomatically dicey situation over the flight of the 14-year-old Karmapa Lama and growing demands for his asylum. The Karmapa Lama's secret exit from Tibet and arrival in India after a week-long journey through 800 miles over an inhospitable terrain brought back the memories of the momentous escape of the Dalai Lama a little over four decades ago. It also underscored the fact that for the Tibetans, nothing has materially changed ...

Grandmother Willing to Get Elian By ANITA SNOW Associated Press Writer HAVANA (AP) -- The grandmother of Elian Gonzalez said she is willing to go to Miami to bring the six-year-old boy home to Cuba, while Fidel Castro's point man on U.S. relations expressed impatience at Washington's failure to enforce a repatriation order. In a massive demonstration demanding Elian's return, tens of thousands of Cuban women -- hundreds visibly pregnant and others carrying small children -- marched along Havana's seaside boulevard on Friday to the U.S. mission, waving Cuban flags and chanting "Bring back our son!'' Elian's young stepmother, Nelsy, ...

India Accused of Staging Hijacking By KATHY GANNON Associated Press Writer ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Pakistan's foreign minister on Sunday accused India of staging the hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight to malign Pakistan's new military government. The India Airlines plane was hijacked Friday after it left Nepal, embarking on a terrifying odyssey across South Asia and the Middle East until Saturday, when it landed in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan. On Saturday the hijackers finally issued their demands, calling for the release of Pakistani religious leader Maulana Masood Azhar, who has been in an Indian jail since 1994, and several ...

Words of Abbot Jon to Ronald for a Christ Mass Ronald, soon to be the heir of the Manor and responsible for many of his people, thought it would be good to go to the forest and meet with the celebrated Abbot Jon, Ronald having heard the disturbing word that across the way there was death in another land of a strange and frightening nature, and he thought it was time to take some advise as to what course to take. It was near the time Christ Mass, but still Ronald went far into the forest with four men ...

Thursday, 23 December, 1999, 11:52 GMT Colombia's rebels ready for Y2K Colombia's rebels have upgraded their software By Jeremy McDermott in Colombia Colombian Marxist rebels have announced they are Y2K ready, unlike the Colombian government which is scrambling to beat the end of year deadline. The 17,000-strong Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, which control almost 40% of the country, have pronounced themselves ready for the turn of the millennium. According to Juan, the FARC systems manager, based in the massive guerrilla safe haven granted by the government for peace talks, the rebel's computers have been upgraded with ...

"The prudent thing at the turn of this millennium is to celebrate by yourself or with your family ... if ...
