America is, in some ways, a very great and good nation. Good people, good land, good opportunities. It’s not a perfect place, but this is Earth not Heaven, so the best we can do is to strive for a more perfect union. In many ways we get there, at least in comparison with other nations. However, there are some things that boggle the mind. Presidential elections are one of them. And we’re coming up on another one in less than three months. Oh, it’ll seem far longer than that, I assure you. Claims, counter-claims, lies, damned lies, statistics, slander,...

Please take the time to read this guy's findings. Thank God for the internet. Kerry will have to answer to some of this before this campaign is over.

Democrats haven't been this upset about an American engaging in free speech since Juanita Broaddrick opened her yap. Two hundred fifty-four Swift Boat Veterans have signed a letter saying John Kerry is not fit to be commander in chief, a point developed in some detail in the blockbuster new book by John O'Neill, aptly titled Unfit for Command. At the 2003 reunion of Swift Boat Veterans, about 300 men showed up: 85 percent of them think Kerry is unfit to be president. (On the bright side, Kerry was voted, in absentia, "Most Likely to Run for President on His Phony...

This political season the criticisms of George W. Bush and the accolades afforded John Kerry are well known. One was criticized for his military service. The other was a wounded war hero. One was called a scourge and a misfortune. The other was called a genius. One was called dull. The other was called charming. However, these contrasting examples of remarks are about Bush and Kerry – they describe George Washington and Benedict Arnold. Washington was called a scourge and misfortune by one newspaper near the end of term in office – just as Bush is similarly characterized by many...

Allegations that presidential hopeful John Kerry embellished if not outright lied about his behavior in Vietnam to gain Purple Hearts and awards for bravery in just four months are afloat like something rude in a punch bowl. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, including all but a handful of Kerry's former comrades from Coastal Division 11, assert Kerry lied to gain those some of those medals and is unfit to be commander in chief of U.S. military forces. As a 527 organization, named for the section of the IRS code that governs such groups, they're making that point in a television...

BARF ALERT: It's not even Labor Day, but we already know what will be the "seminal issue" of this election. No, it's not health care, education, jobs or the economy. It's not even the war in Iraq. snip It's John Kerry's combat record in Vietnam. That is now the No. 1 issue on cable television and rightwing talk radio, the subject of a new book, "Unfit for Command," and the target of an anti-Kerry commercial sponsored by a group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. snip -- The Truth: Not one of the 13 men who claim they "served...

Unfit for Command is not listed on any of their best-selling book lists!

THE TELEVISION ad that aroused the wrath of John McCain and journalist supporters of John Kerry just begins deconstruction of the Democratic Presidential candidate’s war record. “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry,” a 214-page critique of his performance in Vietnam and the antiwar movement, is off the presses ahead of schedule. I have read the book and found it is neither the political propaganda nor the urban legend that its detractors claim. It is a passionate but meticulously researched account of how Kerry went to war, what he did in the war and how he...

Yesterday we reported that the Barnes & Noble website carried an altered cover of the hot new anti-Kerry book, Unfit For Command (Regnery, 2004 -- a Human Events sister company). The title had been changed from Unfit For Command to Fit for Command. Likewise, the Kerry photo on the jacket was been changed to feature a pro-Kerry war photo worthy of a John Wayne movie. (Barnes & Noble has since fixed the error. No explanation has been given.) Now it appears pro-Kerry gremlins have invaded Amazon.com, too. Amazon, thought by many to be the top (and unbiased?) online purveyor of...

Two Purple Hearts in two weeksSgt. Dan Purcell, 122nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment CAMP WAR EAGLE, Baghdad - Staff Sgt. Robert D. Whisenant, a squad leader with the 1st Calvary, recently became eligible for two Purple Heart medals within a two-week period. "I may be eligible for two Purple Hearts, but with 10 months left to go I'm not looking for three," Whisenant said jokingly. Whisenant, a 15-year Army veteran of Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Bosnia and Macedonia, said this deployment is different. "Our main mission here is to conduct presence patrols, improvised-explosive-devise sweeps, cordon-and-searches and raids," he said. "But,...

Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, the Army general who wrote the report detailing abuses of Iraqi detainees by American soldiers, told a Senate panel today that rampant failures of leadership, training and discipline led to the violations at Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad. He said leadership failures could be traced as high as the brigade commander: Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who was in charge of the 800th Military Police Brigade, which oversaw the prison during the time the abuses were committed. "Failure in leadership from the brigade commander on down, lack of discipline, no training whatsoever, and no supervision"...

FORT HUACHUCA - A new high-technology life began for this Southeastern Arizona Army post when the Electronic Proving Ground came here and re-activated the fort on Feb. 1, 1954. A half-century later, much of the post's missions are in the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, the military's C4ISR arena. EPG is still the major leader in the testing and developing of critical systems for the Army and all of the nation's armed services. Col. Jerome Payne sits at the EPG's helm. And he is the only soldier now with the organization, that includes 130 civil service employees...

Thirty years ago this month, I first went to the field with the United States Marine Corps. I was a new staffer for Senator Robert Taft, Jr., of Ohio, and the Marines had invited me down for the "Company War" at The Basic School at Quantico, Virginia. Early one frosty November morning, I found myself standing in the commander's hatch of an M-48 tank moving about two miles per hour with the infantry walking alongside, just as in 1917. When we reached the "objective," which was an enemy machine gun nest, the tank stopped while the infantry formed a line...

The move came after a slew of criticism of the pilots' move from government figures and from fellow Israel Air Force airmen. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, speaking in a holiday interview to Israel Radio on Friday condemned...

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE "Love Your Neighbor as You Love Yourself" (Part One) (Matthew 22:34-40) But when the Pharisees heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they gathered themselves together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, "‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your...
