Letter from the "Beast"! http://michaelwestfall.tripod.com/id49.html I am “Lucifer”, but you may call me “Satan”. I have wanted to write a series of letters to my various American disciples for the last two hundred years, but America’s culture had not yet reached the point to where it was fitting. After observing how successfully so many of you devoted Americans are now discipling for me, it is clearly apparent that in “2006” the time has now arrived to deliver a personalized communication as a token of my appreciation expressing my sincere gratitude. Your efforts have been the necessary and critical grease I...

In an interview with New York Magazine, Rep. Charles Rangel said, "I don’t have the slightest clue who Hillary really is. All I see is a gal who knew she was as good as anyone else, and she saw this guy she could make something of, so she forfeited Illinois and went to Arkansas. That’s a hell of a move to make for a redneck, which is all he was." When asked if he really thought Bill Clinton was a redneck, Rangel told WWRL Radio's Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter: "Of course he is. He's from Arkansas." Many southerners were...

A couple of years ago I lost my job at a small Virginia newspaper when liberal Democrats threatened a boycott unless my column was pulled. I learned then, that the Left – supposed advocates of free speech, democracy and diversity – are a well organized and wide spread collection of fascists determined to outlaw ideas that offend them, personally attack those who oppose them, and destroy the livelihoods of those who disagree with them.I grew up in an area where the Democratic Party power brokers openly refer to themselves as the “Clarkton Mafia,” so I’m used to hard-nosed politics. I...

Let’s Roll! By Judson Cox A few months ago, I announced plans to start a conservative, state wide newspaper in my home state of North Carolina. The outpouring of support was overwhelming. The North Carolina Conservative is now a reality! First of all, we would like to thank our contributors: Charlie Daniels, Dr. Fred Decker, John Plecnik, Rep. John Rhodes, Sen. Fern Shubert, Jason Lewis, Mark Ruscoe, John Armor, Chris Adamo, Al Klemm, Megan Fox, Linda Fryer, Lilly Nelson, Karen Pittman, Lee Ellis, Robert Parks, Frank Salvato, Nancy Salvato, Barbara Stock, Dave Swanson, Resa Kirkland, Mike Nevin, Howard Nemerov, Angela...

Judson Cox: Who are you, and who are the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Van Odell: I served in the U.S. Navy from October 1966 to October 1972. I was assigned to Coastal Squadron 1 on Swift Boats as a Gunners Mate in Vietnam, on January 9, 1969. During the period January 9, 1969 through July 1969 I served in Coastal Division 11 at An Thoi, RVN. While assigned to Cos Div 11 I served on PCF's 93, 35, and 10. I was on many of the river patrols that John Kerry was also assigned. During this time I observed...

Gravitas vs Granola.. fact check The John Edwards That North Carolina KnowsWritten by Judson CoxTuesday, January 27, 2004       Thanks to last Thursday's debate, the rest of the country is learning what most North Carolinians have known: John Edwards is a poorly informed man.  Senator Edwards thinks the Federal Defense of Marriage Act means exactly the opposite of what it does, and has no clue about Islam.  For a successful lawyer to be unfamiliar with this law is surprising, but to know so little about Islam, in the midst of the War on Terror, is shocking.  Can you imagine a...

Michael Berg Is InsaneJudson Cox, May 17, 2004 Few people take Michael Savage seriously when he claims "liberalism is a mental disease." But, how else would you describe a man who, after watching al Qaida cut off his son’s head, blames President Bush and describes his son’s murderers as "sick people" who have "some good in them"? How do liberals like Mr. Berg blame President Bush for al Qaida killing three thousand people on 9-11? Do the terrorists bear none of the blame -- are they also sick people with some good in them? How can liberals equate the...

<p>When politicians see television cameras, even the most reasonable and responsible among them become more than willing to sink the ship of our nation with the inflammatory rhetoric spewing from their loose lips. The 9-11 Commission has done nothing to further the prevention of terrorism, but has been a dirty political blame game that must have been very entertaining for Osama bin Laden (assuming he has access to television in the hole he is cowering in). The public hearings have been a dangerous farce, eroding the confidence of some and exposing our divisions to those who wish us ill.</p>

I always thought North Carolina was a conservative state. Sure, we have some fairly large cities, and plenty of liberal universities, but North Carolina is southern. Our state is mostly comprised of small towns that really are like “Mayberry” from the old “Andy Griffith Show.” We go to church, say sir and ma’am and can identify our third cousin twice removed. Our state is home to country musicians such as Lester Flatt, Doc Watson, Charlie Daniels and Randy Travis, and political leaders like Sen. Jesse Helms. Last week, I found out that North Carolina is more liberal than California! State...

At the urging of Congressman Dick Gephart, "miserable failure(s)" of leadership must be addressed. Instead of lending credence to his attacks on President Bush, we should examine the records of a few other leaders. As they say, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the Gander, so let’s begin with former President Bill Clinton. Clinton was president during several attacks by Al-Queda and its affiliates, including the bombing of the World Trade Center, the attacks on the USS Cole and the Khobar Towers. He refused to punish those responsible, even refusing to take Osama bin Laden into custody...

Editor's Note: This will introduce Judson Cox, a new writer for ChronWatch. Jud is a young communications major at Liberty College in North Carolina, who aspires to be a journalist and columnist. He has a mature perspective on politics, economics, and culture, and his writing often displays a strong sense of humor. When President Bush declared that the nations of the world were ''either for us or against us'' in the War on Terror, the response was a world wide gasp. The increasingly socialist nations of Europe have reduced military funding in favor of social programs. This has led to...
