Mark Alexander: Bush lied, he misled us...: "Indeed, Saddam Hussein, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il, Mohammad Khatami, Moammar al-Ghadafi, Hu Jingtao, Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Schroeder and Kofi Annan are all rooting for John Kerry to beat George W. Bush on Tuesday. What does that tell you, fellow Patriots?"

Book Review: Inside the Kingdom by Carmen Bin Ladin: "In the aftermath of 9-11, Carmen Bin Ladin, who is estranged from her notorious in-laws, received a great deal of harassment while trying to digest the news of the horrific attack on the United States, the country where she attended college and which she called her second home. Inside the Kingdom is her account of her connections with the Bin Ladens, and the truth about Saudi Arabia. It is also a love letter to the life-affirming Western ideals currently under attack from fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. "

Book Review: The End of Illusions by Joseph Loconte: "Paul L. Blakely declares that '[i]n the moment that this country goes to war, the guarantees of the American Constitution will be swept aside by a dictatorship.'
Georgia Harkness calls for an 'international police force in a world federation of states.... involving some surrender of national sovereignty and much economic reorganization.'
Harry Emerson Fosdick asserts that 'the all but unanimous judgment seems to be that we, the democracies, are just as responsible for the rise of the dictators as the dictatorships themselves, and perhaps more so.'
Are Blakely, Harkness, and Fosdick modern-day liberals decrying the war in Iraq?
No, they are pacifist theologians arguing against U.S. involvement in World War II. "

Devvy Kidd -- States Must Take Lead in Stopping Theft Identity: "The abuse of SSNs and theft identity is epidemic and must be stopped. All these companies and state agencies are getting away with it because the people haven't made a concerted, massive effort to stop them. The time is now - before you become the next victim. If you think identity theft can't happen to you - at a rate of almost 20,000 Americans every day and growing - the chances of you becoming a victim grows exponentially - no matter how rich or famous you might be or whether you serve in public office. Everyone is a potential victim and that's something every state legislator should think about when their constituents come to them about this issue. Mail your state legislator a copy of this article along with a polite letter. When these legislators get tens of thousands of them, the squeaky wheel will start to turn. "

Berit Kjos -- Homeland Security Links Home Schoolers to Terrorists: "WHY THE HOSTILITY TOWARD HOME SCHOOLING?
While home schooling parents are less likely to fight back, there are other reasons why change agents in education and government agencies would want to discourage home education. Home schooling families are unlikely to applaud today's march toward a government controlled system of 'lifelong learning' in collective thinking and pluralistic values. They are more likely to trust the Bible and the U.S. Constitution than to trust the growing body of UN treaties. They prefer factual history to earth-centered myths and biased social studies curricula. And they avoid participation in the Hegelian dialectic process that immunizes adults as well as children against God's unchanging truths."

Kerry was also subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Additionally, Kerry, as a commissioned officer, was prohibited from making adverse statements against his chain of command or statements against his country, especially during time of war. It is also interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge until Mar. 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have ended July 1, 1972. "

This book is 675 pages long with 900 footnotes to back up every allegation and quote in it. For those who think they have put together all the pieces about September 11th, I must respectfully disagree. The full truth is yet to be told, but this book is the single vehicle that I see blowing this whole thing wide open. While I have spent a great deal of time researching September 11th, Crossing the Rubicon forcefully demonstrated to me just how deep and rancid the entire operation was, exposed more of the major the players, who funded who and why Bush really went to Afghanistan and then Iraq.

John Kerry and John Edwards will stoop to any level to advance the cause of George Soros -- and his coup against the President of the United States. George Soros wants to rid our Nation of crippled people like Christopher Reeve because they simply cost too much to keep around.
The ulcer is a common infection that inflicts paralyzed and diabetic patients. These ulcers are caused by edema at the site of the wound. My associate attempted Reeves' medical handlers in 2002 to provide, without cost, a medical device used successfully on patient with similar conditions. The handlers refused to allow my associate to present information that demonstrates how the product works and its record of success.
Doctors don't get paid if the patient gets better. They get paid for amputation, prolonged medical attention. The insurance companies prefers this approach because the patient has a shorter life span consist with the philosophy advanced by George Soros (NewsMax -- May 2004.) Either the patient dies immediately from complications of the surgery, or shortly thereafter from fall injuries that result from the loss of a leg."

Bob Meyer -- The Irony of Attacking Bush's Moral Clarity: "Sometimes I believe this whole matter to be an exercise in utter nonsense. Ask yourself what good having a conviction about an issue is, if the conviction must merely be transferred inwardly and not acted upon? Or what good it is to question and disparage yourself each time somebody has doubts? What are you saying about your own decision making process, if you don't think your own soul-searched conclusions are worth the time and effort to convince others? Why bother then to even settle on believing anything at all? None of us are always correct in our analysis, but that doesn't imply there are no ultimate rights or wrongs. Nuances are sometimes an insufficiency in understanding or a coward's fence-straddling refuge. "
Click Here For Can America Survive Democracy?
Tres Kerns -- Can America Survive Democracy?: "The best explanation I ever heard about this subject was from Dr. John Eidsmoe of Faulkner University, who expanded on Benjamin Franklin''s original idea. A democracy is three wolves and a lamb deciding what they are going to have for lunch. A republic is the same three wolves and a lamb voting on a representative who will decide what they are going to have for lunch. A Constitutional Republic recognizes a higher law outside of creation that those wolves cannot eat the lamb for lunch and the lamb is bearing arms (guns) for self-defense.
Founding Father Dr. Benjamin Rush said it this way, 'They call it a democracy -- a mobocracy in my opinion would be more proper.' A U.S. Army Training Manual stated; 'Democracy, n.: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic...negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Result is demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.' This U.S. Army Training Manual was used only 70 years ago. "

Click Here For WHY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY
WHY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY: "There has been much media flap lately over the charges leveled at John Kerry by the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.' However, I do not really care what Mr. Kerry did some 30 odd years ago. I would much rather see some serious discussion about the issues of the day. The number one issue is (in my humble opinion) is the ongoing war against terrorism. The recent happenings in Russia underscore the fact that terrorists cannot be negotiated with or appeased. In order for our country to remain reasonably safe we MUST HAVE a strong leader in the White House and a strong Military and and vigorous intelligence community.
The Democrats are working very hard to convince us that Senator Kerry is indeed the Strong leader that we need. Several questions are in order, however. Does he support a strong Military? Will he support monies being used for counter terrorism? Where does he stand on budget proposals for intelligence agencies? To answer these questions one need only to look at his voting record in the Senate. All you have to do is go to Google and type in 'John Kerry's voting record' and you can find the following facts culled from several websites. . .
After the First World Trade Center Bombing in 1993, Kerry voted (1994) to cut a BILLION Dollars from the counter terrorism budget. The Following year he voted to slash $1.5 Billion from America's Intelligence agencies. This 1995 Bill was so extreme that he had no co-sponsors who were willing to sign it.
In 1995 Kerry also voted to cut $80 Million from the FBI's budget. Is not the FBI essential in fighting terrorists?
Three times John Kerry has voted to exempt terrorists from the Death Penalty - even if they kill innocent Americans!
John Kerry fought to stop Ronald Regan's strategic modernization of the military. He was opposed to developing the military. He was opposed to developing the Peacekeeper Missile, The B-1 and the B-2 Bombers, the Trident Submarine, and the D-5 Missile.
John also opposed the production of the following: AH-64 Apache Helicopter, Patriot Missile, F-15 fighter aircraft, F14A and F14D jets. He also voted to cut back production of the M1 Abrams Tank, and the Bradley fighting Vehicle and more too numerous to list!
1991 Kerry voted to cut over 3 Billion Dollars from defense spending and shift these funds to social programs (Votes for sale!)
In 1992 Senator Kerry voted to cut $6 Billion from defense. Republicans managed to foster enough support to block this Bill (Thank God!)
In 1993 Kerry voted AGAINST a pay raise for our military
In 1995 John Kerry voted to cut defense spending for seven years, cutting over $34 Billion from defense. Only 27 other senators voted with him.
I could add many more examples from Kerry's 19 year record in the senate. However, these will suffice to show that John Kerry has NEVER been strong on defense. No matter how his "advisers" may try to make him appear otherwise - Mr. Kerry is a far left Liberal who is more concerned with using social programs to buy votes than he is about our National Security. All the social programs in the world will not help us if terrorists succeed in blowing us to "Kingdom Come."

Action America - Political Commentary: "In the end, it all comes down to money and power. If drugs were to be legalized, those in power, on both sides of the law, would lose significant money, power or both. The fact is, that the interests of those who would have us keep drugs illegal are purely selfish and they could care less about our best interests or that of our children. But the really sad part, is that these callous people who continuously mislead the public for their own benefit, exist on both sides of the law."

News from Agape Press: "Dr. Warren Throckmorton is an associate professor of psychology and director of college counseling at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. He says he has heard throughout the campaign Kerry's repeated assertion that homosexuals have no choice in their sexual desires. Throckmorton says that is false.
'There is no research currently that would point to one specific gene that would lead to any sort of sexual attraction,' the educator asserts.
The culture, Throckmorton says, has been gullible to discounted pro-homosexual research. 'Sexual attractions are like many other human affections and characteristics -- they are acquired over time,' he explains. 'Even though they may be imperceptibly acquired, they certainly have that environmental component.'"

Refusal to submit to the Truth Machine brands a politician un-electable. Through a series of simple questions, the Truth Machine can diagnose mental illness with astonishing success.
As its use spreads from courtroom to politics, to diplomacy, business, science, education, and finally into every home throughout the world, the Truth Machine reshapes the very nature of humanity. But ultimately, the fate of the earth rests with humankind. Are we up to the challenge? "

Guiding Principles of the Conservative Christian Ideology: "Within our great nation of America exist two primary ideologies concerning the governing of the people. Most other ideologies fall along the spectrum between these two. These ideologies are represented by the Republican and Democratic national parties. Both parties have the same ideals in mind: reduction in social ills [such as illiteracy, poverty, crime, etc], maintenance of the welfare of the nation and defense of the nation against enemies foreign and domestic. The means to accomplish these ends however are unique to each party. The Republican party generally holds firm to the principle of local control while the Democratic party maintains centralized administration is the answer. Also, there is an underlying association between the RNC and capitalism and between the DNC and socialism.
Although we are both members of the Republican party, our opinions on authority are not in full agreement. Jonathan envisions the ideal government as one that leaves all matters to local authority with the exception of projects simply too vast and expensive for single cities, states or regions to handle (such as national defense). Jennifer accepts this ideal but broadens the projects left to centralized control to include those which have a profound impact upon an area greater than the local, state or regional lines (such as environmental policies).

Kevin McCullough: Same-sex marriage hot potato heats up: "In seeming record numbers in recent days, on my talk show in New York City, African Americans are bemoaning the illegitimate comparisons of privileged and elite homosexuals to the African American experience in the march towards civil rights. Callers who were mere weeks ago arguing with me about the economy or the War on Terror -- and choosing to agreeably disagree -- are now calling and saying very different things.
A caller last week said little else when she got on the show other than to say, 'I'm an African American woman, and I'm talking to everyone in my church and community about the issue of marriage and, as far as I'm concerned, President Bush has three votes in my house.' Hundreds of other callers have told my producers: 'I have been a Democrat all my life, but on this issue I will become a vote for President Bush.'
The outrage expressed by average African Americans is worth considering. Using economic comparisons, the average two-income homosexual household dwarfs the average houshold of the two-worker African American married couple -- earning nearly four times more per year on average. "

Facts About Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention for Women of Color and Youth: "In 1996, an estimated 6,750 African-American women were diagnosed with AIDS. Of these, 53% (3,620) were among women infected heterosexually and 43% (2,910) were attributed to injection drug use (IDU). Over the last decade, AIDS incidence among African-American women increased most dramatically among women infected heterosexually. Prior to the impact of treatment, AIDS incidence in African-American women infected heterosexually was increasing at a rate of between 15%-30%. In 1996, this increase continued, but slowed slightly to an increase of 11%. AIDS incidence among African-American women infected through injection drug use also increased over the decade, but at a rate of approximately 10% to 20% each year. In addition to the direct impact of injection drug use on the spread of AIDS among African-American women, injection drug use also contributes to the heterosexual spread of the epidemic in these women. A large proportion of African-American women infected heterosexually are infected through sex with a male IDU."

Vulnerability toward revictimization
Depression
Difficulty sustaining relationships and building trust
Alcohol or drug problems
Anxiety, the need for control in relationships
Post-traumatic stress reactions
Eating disorders
Dissociative reactions
Sexual dysfunctions
Flashbacks and bad memories
Also, many victims of incest may not have memories of it ever happening. Some will not have these memories because the abuse occurred while they were very young. Many abuse victims will report that the actual physical sexual abuse was not the worst aspect of the experience; rather, it was carrying such a powerful secret that must be protected. Others may have literally pushed the memories from their conscious mind in order to survive the abuse. In either case, the victim/survivor may feel as if something occurred and may eventually regain the memories of the abuse. Whether they remember the abuse or not, victims/survivors may still experience the above aftereffects."

Prostitution - A Modern Form of Slavery, Making the Harm Visible, Global Sexual Exploitation of Women and Girls, Speaking Out and Providing Services: "We believe that all of the practices I have just described are proper areas of inquiry for the Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery. We define slavery as the domination and control by an individual or group over other individuals or groups through violence, the threat of violence, or a history of violence. Slavers are motivated by a desire for sexual gratification, economic gain, or power and domination, or a combination of these factors. We reference the definition of slavery in the Convention on Slavery, Forced Labor, and Similar Institutions and Practices: 'Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised.' All of the practices addressed by the Coalition emerge from the historical reality of the chattel status of women and children and represent an attempt to revive and maintain it. Moreover, as Professor Bales pointed out, unlike traditional forms of slave ownership in which the person enslaved was regarded as a capital investment, to be maintained and guarded over a long period of time, contemporary forms of slavery often reflect a valuation of the enslaved as a temporary, disposable commodity, to be consumed and discarded.

Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Clients by Professionals - Victim/Survivor/Prevention Resources: "Mental health professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, therapists, doctors, nurses, clergy, attorneys, professors, educators, social workers, law enforcement officers, or other professionals who either pursue or even allow a sexual relationship to develop with their patients/clients often are taking advantage of an inherent power imbalance in the relationship. Sexual exploitation does not always include sexual contact -- it can happen in a variety of behaviors by the professional. Frequently this is an exploitation of the client's trust or emotional dependency and/or their need for the professional's help. Sometimes it is the result of the professional imposing coercive power over the client. Either way, this is considered abuse, even if the client was a 'consenting' participant at the time. It is an abuse of the client's trust and dependence on the professional. It also is a betrayal of the trust imparted on the professional by society. This form of abuse often deeply violates clients and sometimes causes tremendous spiritual, emotional, and psychological harm. "

Arizona Daily Wildcat - Forum - Friday April 11, 2003: "Following yesterday's liberation of Baghdad, I think it was very appropriate that the left-wing group 'UA Peace Refuge' made more ignorant, unfounded claims. When Bubba Clinton was president, he went ahead and bombed Iraq (without United Nations approval). He, as well as Tom Daschle, explained that Iraq was a threat. Bubba also decided to bomb in Yugoslavia. Where was UA Peace Refuge or any other hippie group claiming to support appeasement-style peace? Janeane Garofalo was honest, 'It wasn't cool to protest Bill Clinton.' What she meant was peace only matters when Republicans are in power. If a leader supports abortion, an escalation of social programs, and calls bombing campaigns and wars 'peace-keeping missions,' (AKA Democrats) then peace groups, just like women's groups, simply turn the other way in silence. This past week, we have seen Iraqis thanking our troops and tearing down symbols of a brutal regime. Anti-war protesters attack President Bush and the Pentagon by labeling them 'asses.' The 'world' that these 'peace activists' strive for is nothing more than a Marxist fantasy and delusion. "

WorldNetDaily: Kerry & Jesse tell blacks: Ignore same-sex marriage issue: "John Kerry wants to be president. But he doesn't want to discuss his unproductive time in the Senate. And he isn't offering credible ideas to extend opportunity and promote ownership in our communities. Instead, he's going back into the old Democratic Party bag of tricks and pulling out ... the race card.
He said there's a 'Do Not Enter' sign on the White House door, to keep blacks out. And he raised the specter of voter disenfranchisement, claiming 'some say' the president has plans to keep African Americans out of polling places throughout the land ...
How about that 'Do Not Enter' sign on the White House door? Funny, we've all been to the White House and we didn't notice any sign telling us to stay away. Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, the two highest-ranking black leaders in American history, definitely have not seen the sign. Rod Paige, the secretary of Education, and Alphonso Jackson, the secretary of Housing and Urban Development -- both black, both in President Bush's cabinet -- have not seen the sign either.
Mr. Kerry's accusation that President Bush wants to keep black Americans from voting is the most heinous charge he's made. It outrages us, and it ought to outrage every American who takes voting rights seriously. In addition to claiming that 'some say' the president's campaign wants to disenfranchise minorities, Mr. Kerry also asserted, 'We are hearing those things already.' Oh, really? 'We are hearing those things.' 'Some say.' John Kerry is trading on innuendo spread by the most divisive people in American politics -- people who spend their careers trying to tell us how to think and vote. "

WorldNetDaily: Crimes of political expediency: "My son now votes by absentee ballot, but from his birth, I took him with me to vote. He remembers my explaining why we vote, why I was voting for a particular candidate and what the issues were. I received no small amount of pleasure having him experience the entire process. I took pride in knowing one day he would be able to participate by casting his own vote. Yet he sometimes still calls me with a question. Who will these people call? Who has prepared them to confidently participate?
A professional colleague keeps his voter registration in his wallet. It gives his name, address and where he is to vote. He goes to the polls and expects to show registration and/or a photo ID, or a utility bill to authenticate who he is so there is no question of his being a legitimate voter. Of course, he is white ... liberals expect him to be responsible (sarcasm intended).
Yet it will be incidents born from precisely such lack of preparation and understanding on any level that will unleash legions with cries of disenfranchisement. "

Click Here For Dick Morris and Black Support of Democrats
New York Post Online Edition: postopinion: "The likely catalyst for Clinton's last-minute involvement: Kerry's trouble with the black vote. The recent survey by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies showed President Bush pulling 18 percent of the African-American vote, up from only 9 percent four years ago. Most of the converts are older religious men, likely concerned about social values issues like gay marriage.
This breech in black support for Democrats could doom Kerry in a race that's now razor-tight. With blacks casting about 12 percent of the national vote, a swing of 9 percent of their vote would create a two point shift in the national polls, perhaps enough to beat Kerry.
It's about time middle-class African-Americans began to desert the Democratic Party. Bush's dependence on Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice demonstrates amply his freedom from racism and his tax cuts show how good he is for upward mobility for all people of all races. If middle-class blacks start voting their class not their race, it would help all blacks by forcing the same kind of bidding war as we've seen for the Hispanic-American vote.
The Democratic Party takes blacks for granted, treating the their bloc support like a golf handicap, never taking real trouble to cater to their needs. "

Click Here For Why more blacks support Bush this year
WorldNetDaily: Why more blacks support Bush this year: "According to two polls released over the week just passed, President Bush has picked up significant ground among black voters. A New York Times poll showed black support for the president at 17 percent. A poll of larger scope done by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, an organization specializing in studying black issues, showed 18 percent black support for Bush. Although black support at this level for Bush-Cheney is still low, it nevertheless represents a doubling of the 8 percent of the black vote that the Republican ticket received in 2000.
In a race that seems to be shaping up as a neck and neck horserace, it can make all the difference for the president to pick up an additional 9 percent of the black vote.
Although some have expressed surprise that the president is notably picking up new support among black voters, those who have been reading my columns over the last several months will be less astonished by these results. I have been writing that traditionally Democratic voters in the black churchgoing community are becoming disillusioned with the Democratic Party and that, in particular, the gay marriage issue has become a focal point of that disillusionment.

WorldNetDaily: The media matrix: "'We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal, enlightened, sophisticated one,' recalls the movement's co-founder. 'Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60 percent of Americans were in favor of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority. We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000, but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000.
'Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans, convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law.
'Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1,500 percent since legalization.' "

How Does Bush Do It?: "A majority of middle Americans, though not as large a majority as previously, just aren't humanistic liberals. They are old-fashioned, Bible-believing and moral citizens, and they'll overlook a lot in their leaders, if the leaders look and seem like them. And George W. Bush, with all of his occasional fumbles and garbled syntax and inability to correctly pronounce 'nuclear,' is a homeboy, a neighbor kid who got into government and made a big difference. Remember Jimmy Stewart in 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'? That kind of guy -- not slick or glib, but sleeves-rolled-up hardworking, honest and direct and good-from-the-gut."
Yet Another Letter to the Democratic Party
From the office of Rev. Wayne Perryman
P.O. Box 256 Mercer Island, WA 98040 (206) 232-5575 Doublebro@aol.com
April 5, 2004
Democratic National Committee
Mr. Terry McAuliffe, Chairman
430 S. Capital St. SE
Washington D.C. 20003
Dear Chairman McAuliffe:
My name is Rev. Wayne Perryman. I am an African American inner-city minister in the Seattle area and the author of the enclosed book, Unfounded Loyalty. All of my life I have voted Democrat. In the past, I worked with several Democratic candidates and served on the committee of the Washington State Black Clergy to Re-elect President Clinton in 1996. As you know, during the past 70 years African Americans have consistently supported the Democratic Party and put five Democratic presidents in the White House.
The purpose of this letter is to humbly and respectfully request that the DNC offer a formal apology to African Americans for the party’s past racist policies and practices toward African Americans, and further request that this apology be issued during the upcoming 2004 convention.
According to the renowned African American history professor, John Hope Franklin, the atrocities committed against African Americans in regions controlled by Democrats and their Klan supporters, “were so varied and so numerous as to defy classification or enumeration.”
One news reporter documented one of these acts against a Mr. Sam Hose, a black man who was falsely accused of killing his white employer and raping his employer’s wife. The reporter wrote:
“After stripping Hose of his clothes and chaining him to a tree, the self-appointed executioners stacked kerosene-soaked wood high around him. Before saturating Hose with oil and applying the torch, they cut off his ears, fingers, and genitals, and skinned his face. While some in the crowd plunged knives into the victims flesh, others watched with un-feigning satisfaction, the contortions of Sam Hose’s body as flames rose, distorting his features, causing his eyes to bulge out of their sockets and rupturing his veins. The only sounds that came from the victim’s lips, even as his blood sizzled in the fire. were, Oh my God! Oh, Jesus.” Before Hose’s body had even cooled, his heart and liver were removed and cut into several pieces and his bones were crushed into small particles. The crowd fought over these souvenirs. Shortly after the lynching, one of the participants reportedly left for the state capitol, hoping to deliver a slice of Sam Hose’s heart to the Democratic governor of Georgia, who would call Sam Hose’s deeds, “the most diabolical in the annals of crime.”
Another historian reported what the Democratic terrorist did to Mary Turner, a pregnant black woman. Mary was nine month pregnant at the time. She had reported that she was going to file charges against those who lynched her husband. This is what historians from the PBS special: The Rise & Fall of Jim Crow, had to say about her sadistic murder:
“After tying her ankles together, they hung her from a tree, head downward. Dousing her clothes with gasoline, and burned them [the clothes] from her body. While she was still alive, someone used a knife ordinarily reserved from splitting hogs to cut open the woman’s abdomen. The baby fell from her womb to the ground and cried briefly, whereupon a member of the [terrorist] mob crushed the baby’s head beneath his heel. Hundreds of bullets were then fired into Mary Turner’s body….”
Other noted history professors also wrote about these atrocities as well, including:
a. Professor James McPherson of Princeton University
b. Professor David Herbert Donald of Harvard University
c. Professor Allen W. Trelease of North Carolina University
d. Professor Howard O. Lindsey of DePaul University.
Both the chronicles of history and Congressional Records show that from 1792 up to the 1960’s the Democratic Party and their members engaged in the following racist practices:
a. On the issue of slavery, Democrats fought for and gave their lives to expand it while Republicans fought and gave their lives to ban it. Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States. But to African Americans and President Lincoln it was the war between the Democrats and Republicans concerning the State’s Rights to maintain the institution of slavery. On March 4, 1865 during his second Inaugural Address, Lincoln said, “Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, the other would accept war rather than let it perish….”
b. Democrats opposed the Freedman’s Bureau and other social programs to help the newly freed slaves.
c. Democrats passed Fugitive Slave Laws, Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive pieces of legislation to deny Blacks their rights as citizens. Democratic Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina said, “We reorganized the Democratic Party with one plank, and only one plank, namely that this is a white man’s country and white men must govern it.”
d. Democrats used every means possible to destroy Reconstruction including lynching, whippings, murder, intimidation, assassinations and mutilations. Professor Allen W. Trelease of the University of North Carolina said, “Democrats, by a kind of tortured reasoning, sometimes accused Negroes and Republicans of attacking each other so that the crimes would (not) be blamed on the Democrats; investigations revealed that Democrats had committed the acts themselves.”
e. Democrats murdered Blacks who attempted to vote Republican and banned many from participating in primaries.
f. Democrats established rigid testing requirements in southern communities to discourage, disqualify and disfranchise black voters.
g. In 1866, Democrats murdered 40 Blacks in the process of driving out every Black elected official in Louisiana’s State Legislature.
h. Democrats fought for the Dred Scott Decision and celebrated after the court issued its ruling that Blacks would be classified as property.
i. Democrats formed several terrorist organizations including the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize Blacks. During the Congressional debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that the Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.
j. Democrats praised the court’s decision in Plessy v. Ferguson which legally established segregation.
k. Democrats opposed and fought against anti-lynching laws.
l. Democrats sued and fought to have the 1875 Civil Rights Act declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
m. When Democrats regained control of Congress in 1892, they passed the Repeal Act of 1894 to repeal portions of laws that were designed to help African Americans.
n. Democrats debated and voted against the following:
1. Thirteenth Amendment
2. Fourteenth Amendment
3. Fifteenth Amendment
4. The Civil Rights Act of 1866
5. Reconstruction Act of 1867
6. Enforcement Act of 1870
7. The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
8. The 1875 Civil Rights Act (which later became the 1964 Civil Rights Act)
9. The Civil Rights Act of 1957
10. The Civil Rights Act of 1960
o. Southern Democrats debated against and voted against the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Political experts agree that had the Democrats attempted to pass these same types of laws in 1864 (that certain members of their party decided to support in 1964), the laws of 1964 would not have been necessary. Instead (prior to 1964), they chose to pass Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation to deny Blacks their rights as citizens.
p. Entire black communities were destroyed in democratically controlled states including Wilmington, North Carolina, Rosewood, Florida, and the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to name a few.
q. Under Democratic rule, an estimated 200 Black farmers were massacred in Elaine, Arkansas (1919).
r. In regions controlled by Democrats, hundred of thousands of African Americans were used as free labor by placing them in inhumane prison labor camps. Some called this the new form of slavery.
s. Under the New Deal, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to assist Black sharecroppers who had difficulty in obtaining relief benefits through the Department of Agriculture and refused to assist Blacks that had problems getting loans to purchase land and build homes. Black newspapers were banned from the military, and lynchings and other forms of racial violence continued during his Administration.
t. Democrats fought against quality education for African Americans in the 1954 case of Brown v The Board of Education, and prior to this case they had a history of murdering our teachers and burning down Black schools and churches
u. Under Democratic rule (according to Associated Press in 2001) African American land ownership in the south decreased from 15 million acres in 1910 to less than two million today. AP reported that the land was lost through fraud, murder and the deliberate destruction of court records.
v. In 1995, while the Clinton Administration proudly supported a group of White janitors in their “reverse discrimination” lawsuit against Illinois State University, his Administration refused to support a group of Black, Hispanic and female Longshore Workers in their discrimination lawsuit against 100 shipping companies and their unions. The workers won their lawsuits without the support of the Clinton Administration and collectively walked away with several million dollars.
w. From 1792 to 2004, the Democratic Party (the oldest political Party in America) has never elected a Black man to the United States Senate.
Many African Americans agree with those psychologists who believe that the horrors of institutional racism established in part by the racist legislation of the Democrats, still haunt African Americans today. Despite these factual truths, the Democratic Party has never issued or offered an apology to African Americans in its 212-year history.
Some have argued that the Republicans also owe African Americans an apology for abandoning them when they reached a compromise (with the Democrats) to remove federal troops from the South, in exchange for giving Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency. History notes that the compromise did indeed take place and troops were removed from the South. However experts say that like the problems facing today’s American troops in the Reconstruction of Iraq, it was impossible to have enough federal troops to cover the entire region (13 states) during the Reconstruction of the South. History reveals that from 1866 to 1877 Democrats and their Klan supporters launched a multitude of terrorist attacks against African Americans while federal troops were stationed in the region. Professor David Donald of Harvard writes: “Congress could require federal troops to supervise the registration of voters, but Negroes were waylaid and butchered on the roads to the registration office….” The troop’s presence had little affect on the reign of terror initiated by Democrats and their Klan supporters.
When it comes to offering apologies, the one factor that may excuse Republicans is the fact that unlike the Democrats, Republicans have always had abolitionists and “Radical” members like Senator Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens to consistently and effectively challenge racist individuals within their party (racist Republicans like President Abraham Lincoln). Professor James McPherson of Princeton said, “The abolitionists became the respected spokesmen of the radical wing of the Republican Party.” From 1792 to 1960, the “radicals” in the Democratic Party weren’t spokespersons for African Americans they were the assassins that brought terror and death to African Americans.
After giving the Democratic Party support for the past 40 years, many African Americans believe that an apology for the role that the Democratic Party played in establishing the institution of racism during the past 168 years is the least that the party can do. The apology should be issued for:
Fraud
Murder
The Formation of Terrorist Organizations
Economic Deprivation
Racist Legislation
Negative Communications
Promoting Substandard Education
Terrorist Intimidation
Landmark Litigation
Brutal Assassinations
Racially Flawed Adjudication
I pray that you will earnestly and sincerely consider my request. An apology is one of the only ways that modern day Democrats can distant themselves from the party’s racist past while bringing some closure to the African American community. On May 16, 1997, President Clinton issued a formal apology to African Americans and to those who were victimized by the Tuskegee Experiment; a government sponsored program that allowed Blacks to die from syphilis. Clinton’s apology came after the 25,000 Black members of the National Medical Association requested such. I pray that the DNC will do the same. If not for the living, the Party should do it for the millions of Blacks that lost their lives during this horrible period of history. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,

Democratic National Committee
Mr. Terry McAuliffe, Chairman
430 S. Capital St. SE
Washington D.C. 20003
Dear Chairman McAuliffe:
My name is Rev. Wayne Perryman. I am an African American inner-city minister in the Seattle area and the author of the enclosed book, Unfounded Loyalty. All of my life I have voted Democrat. In the past, I worked with several Democratic candidates and served on the committee of the Washington State Black Clergy to Re-elect President Clinton in 1996. As you know, during the past 70 years African Americans have consistently supported the Democratic Party and put five Democratic presidents in the White House.
The purpose of this letter is to humbly and respectfully request that the DNC offer a formal apology to African Americans for the party’s past racist policies and practices toward African Americans, and further request that this apology be issued during the upcoming 2004 convention.
According to the renowned African American history professor, John Hope Franklin, the atrocities committed against African Americans in regions controlled by Democrats and their Klan supporters, “were so varied and so numerous as to defy classification or enumeration.”
One news reporter documented one of these acts against a Mr. Sam Hose, a black man who was falsely accused of killing his white employer and raping his employer’s wife. The reporter wrote:
“After stripping Hose of his clothes and chaining him to a tree, the self-appointed executioners stacked kerosene-soaked wood high around him. Before saturating Hose with oil and applying the torch, they cut off his ears, fingers, and genitals, and skinned his face. While some in the crowd plunged knives into the victims flesh, others watched with un-feigning satisfaction, the contortions of Sam Hose’s body as flames rose, distorting his features, causing his eyes to bulge out of their sockets and rupturing his veins. The only sounds that came from the victim’s lips, even as his blood sizzled in the fire. were, Oh my God! Oh, Jesus.” Before Hose’s body had even cooled, his heart and liver were removed and cut into several pieces and his bones were crushed into small particles. The crowd fought over these souvenirs. Shortly after the lynching, one of the participants reportedly left for the state capitol, hoping to deliver a slice of Sam Hose’s heart to the Democratic governor of Georgia, who would call Sam Hose’s deeds, “the most diabolical in the annals of crime.”
Another historian reported what the Democratic terrorist did to Mary Turner, a pregnant black woman. Mary was nine month pregnant at the time. She had reported that she was going to file charges against those who lynched her husband. This is what historians from the PBS special: The Rise & Fall of Jim Crow, had to say about her sadistic murder:
“After tying her ankles together, they hung her from a tree, head downward. Dousing her clothes with gasoline, and burned them [the clothes] from her body. While she was still alive, someone used a knife ordinarily reserved from splitting hogs to cut open the woman’s abdomen. The baby fell from her womb to the ground and cried briefly, whereupon a member of the [terrorist] mob crushed the baby’s head beneath his heel. Hundreds of bullets were then fired into Mary Turner’s body….”
Other noted history professors also wrote about these atrocities as well, including:
a. Professor James McPherson of Princeton University
b. Professor David Herbert Donald of Harvard University
c. Professor Allen W. Trelease of North Carolina University
d. Professor Howard O. Lindsey of DePaul University.
Both the chronicles of history and Congressional Records show that from 1792 up to the 1960’s the Democratic Party and their members engaged in the following racist practices:
a. On the issue of slavery, Democrats fought for and gave their lives to expand it while Republicans fought and gave their lives to ban it. Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States. But to African Americans and President Lincoln it was the war between the Democrats and Republicans concerning the State’s Rights to maintain the institution of slavery. On March 4, 1865 during his second Inaugural Address, Lincoln said, “Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, the other would accept war rather than let it perish….”
b. Democrats opposed the Freedman’s Bureau and other social programs to help the newly freed slaves.
c. Democrats passed Fugitive Slave Laws, Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive pieces of legislation to deny Blacks their rights as citizens. Democratic Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina said, “We reorganized the Democratic Party with one plank, and only one plank, namely that this is a white man’s country and white men must govern it.”
d. Democrats used every means possible to destroy Reconstruction including lynching, whippings, murder, intimidation, assassinations and mutilations. Professor Allen W. Trelease of the University of North Carolina said, “Democrats, by a kind of tortured reasoning, sometimes accused Negroes and Republicans of attacking each other so that the crimes would (not) be blamed on the Democrats; investigations revealed that Democrats had committed the acts themselves.”
e. Democrats murdered Blacks who attempted to vote Republican and banned many from participating in primaries.
f. Democrats established rigid testing requirements in southern communities to discourage, disqualify and disfranchise black voters.
g. In 1866, Democrats murdered 40 Blacks in the process of driving out every Black elected official in Louisiana’s State Legislature.
h. Democrats fought for the Dred Scott Decision and celebrated after the court issued its ruling that Blacks would be classified as property.
i. Democrats formed several terrorist organizations including the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize Blacks. During the Congressional debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that the Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.
j. Democrats praised the court’s decision in Plessy v. Ferguson which legally established segregation.
k. Democrats opposed and fought against anti-lynching laws.
l. Democrats sued and fought to have the 1875 Civil Rights Act declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
m. When Democrats regained control of Congress in 1892, they passed the Repeal Act of 1894 to repeal portions of laws that were designed to help African Americans.
n. Democrats debated and voted against the following:
1. Thirteenth Amendment
2. Fourteenth Amendment
3. Fifteenth Amendment
4. The Civil Rights Act of 1866
5. Reconstruction Act of 1867
6. Enforcement Act of 1870
7. The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
8. The 1875 Civil Rights Act (which later became the 1964 Civil Rights Act)
9. The Civil Rights Act of 1957
10. The Civil Rights Act of 1960
o. Southern Democrats debated against and voted against the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Political experts agree that had the Democrats attempted to pass these same types of laws in 1864 (that certain members of their party decided to support in 1964), the laws of 1964 would not have been necessary. Instead (prior to 1964), they chose to pass Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation to deny Blacks their rights as citizens.
p. Entire black communities were destroyed in democratically controlled states including Wilmington, North Carolina, Rosewood, Florida, and the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to name a few.
q. Under Democratic rule, an estimated 200 Black farmers were massacred in Elaine, Arkansas (1919).
r. In regions controlled by Democrats, hundred of thousands of African Americans were used as free labor by placing them in inhumane prison labor camps. Some called this the new form of slavery.
s. Under the New Deal, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to assist Black sharecroppers who had difficulty in obtaining relief benefits through the Department of Agriculture and refused to assist Blacks that had problems getting loans to purchase land and build homes. Black newspapers were banned from the military, and lynchings and other forms of racial violence continued during his Administration.
t. Democrats fought against quality education for African Americans in the 1954 case of Brown v The Board of Education, and prior to this case they had a history of murdering our teachers and burning down Black schools and churches
u. Under Democratic rule (according to Associated Press in 2001) African American land ownership in the south decreased from 15 million acres in 1910 to less than two million today. AP reported that the land was lost through fraud, murder and the deliberate destruction of court records.

Another Open Letter to the Democratic Party
Tuesday, June 18, 2002
Terry McAuliffe
Chairman
Democratic National Committee
430 S. Capital Street SE
Washington, DC 20003
Dear Mr. McAuliffe:
I am a registered member of the Democratic Party. I have heard your view that you support reparations for Blacks in the United States of America. I did not support Al Gore in the 2000 election because I learned very disturbing facts about the history of the Democratic Party and slavery. I was infuriated that it was the Democratic Party (not the Republican Party) who actively perpetuated the enslavement of Blacks.
Mr. McAuliffe I am asking for you to do the following:
Formally and officially apologize on behalf of the Democratic Party for its defense to continue the chattel slavery of blacks in the United States.
Formally and officially apologize on behalf of the Democratic Party for its role in the organization the Ku Klux Klan,
Formally and officially apologize on behalf of the Democratic Party for its assistance in the formulation of Jim Crow Laws, Poll Taxes, and Black Codes.
Formally and officially apologize on behalf of the Democratic Party for its leadership supporting the illegal repossession of the 40 acres and a mule that was issued to blacks by the Republican Party.
Formally and officially apologize on behalf of the Democratic Party for not endorsing and advocating its membership in either the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate to support any civil rights legislation from 1863 – 1968.
Publicly request that U.S. Senator Robert Byrd make a formal and public apology for his support of the Klan since he “stop paying dues”, and for his 14 hour filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.
Publicly request that U.S. Senator Earnest “Fritz” Hollings make a formal and public apology for his leadership as Governor of South Carolina to the flying of the Confederate Flag over its state capital building.
Develop a list of party members who once owned slaves and discuss a fund for reparations for Black Americans.
Formally and officially apologize, on behalf of the Democratic Party Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, for not voting in the majority for the following important pieces of legislation to Black Americans:
The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863
The Civil Rights Act of 1866
The Civil Rights Act of 1871
The Civil Rights Act of 1875
The Civil Rights Act of 1957
The Civil Rights Act of 1960
The Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Voting Rights Act of 1965
Had it not been for the Democratic Party’s successful efforts to defend that “barbaric institution of the south” to the point of war, the enslavement of Blacks would have ended many decades earlier. Blacks for some strange reason have no knowledge of the Democratic Party’s sordid history. Most blacks have developed a cultural myth that Republicans are the actual perpetrator of the black slavery in the United States. I have a more complete outline in my article entitled, "Who Owes Reparations to Black America".
Mr. McAuliffe I hate slavery, as I hope that you do. I hate that a people, their history, their family, and their culture were destroyed at the behest of those who saw them as no more than that of chickens, cows, and dogs. You can be an educator for many and beginning the path of “righting past wrongs” for all Americans. Lead the Democratic Party and America by making these apologies and requests to the Party and show Black America that the Democratic Party is the Party of “righting past wrongs” and finally setting the record straight for Black America.

An Open Letter to the Democratic Party
An Open Letter to the Democratic Party
By Frances Rice
We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:
Whereas in the early 1600’s 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,
Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,
Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,
Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,
Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,
Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,
Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,
Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that: (a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854, (b) fought to free African Americans from slavery, (c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans, (d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote, (e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations, (f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws, (g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and (h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,
Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka (a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were established by the Democratic Party,
Whereas after Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans, he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues.
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist,
Whereas Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,
Whereas when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr. and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,
Whereas in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans, and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,
Whereas Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,
Whereas Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election was “stolen” from him and that African Americans in Florida were disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the “Miami Herald” and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to vote,
Whereas the Democratic Party's soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,
Whereas the Democratic Party's use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party's heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,
Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.

Whereas the Democratic Party's soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,
Whereas the Democratic Party's use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party's heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,
Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.

Security Council members deny meeting Kerry - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - October 24, 2004: "U.N. ambassadors from several nations are disputing assertions by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry that he met for hours with all members of the U.N. Security Council just a week before voting in October 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
An investigation by The Washington Times reveals that while the candidate did talk for an unspecified period to at least a few members of the panel, no such meeting, as described by Mr. Kerry on a number of occasions over the past year, ever occurred. "

Click Here For Thomas Sowell: Stop and think
Thomas Sowell: Stop and think: "Senator Kerry has talked about his time in Vietnam longer than he actually spent in Vietnam. Does his war record more than three decades ago give him lifetime immunity from all questions about military issues? Do those who rely on the mainstream media even know whether his war record is for real?
If a decorated combat veteran must be believed, then why are the many decorated combat veterans who served with Kerry in Vietnam -- and served longer -- not to be believed, or not even have their very different picture of him in Vietnam examined against the facts, instead of being dismissed?
Even Benedict Arnold was an American war hero wounded in combat but that doesn't stop us for criticizing him for what he did later."

TheRealityCheck.Org Guest Writer: "To most of us the marriage of God and country is as American as apple pie - but there is also a major battle brewing. Many houses of worship are facing the problem an intrusion into the sanctuary traditionally reserved for God. The intrusion is coming as patriotism in the form of our country's flag.
The American flag moved into houses of worship during the World Wars and was quietly slipped out the back door during Vietnam. Since 9/11, the flag has moved back into many houses of worship. It seems that our flag is blowing in the wind of political correctness.
Is this same acceptance of political correctness allowing one God's most basic laws to be overlooked in favor of the US Flag Code by many houses of worship? Is the flag of our country becoming an object of idolatry when it is given the position of 'superior prominence' above the very symbols of our faith? "

TheRealityCheck.Org Featured Writer: "By design, Kerry clearly believes that he can use Mary Cheney as a wedge to come between Bush and his religious base. Nor is it lost to the public that surely, John Kerry, this man of the people, this giant of an elite, could have mentioned a homosexual he actually knew? New Jersey Governor James McGreevy comes to mind; Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt's daughter, Chrissy, or someone just down the street who Kerry has served with for his entire twenty years in the Senate, Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank.
The campaign's answer, just as revealing as Kerry's answer itself, was sheepishly announced by Kerry campaign guru Mary Beth Cahill: Mary Cheney is 'fair game.'
Since hindsight is indeed always 20/20, it is easy now to say that John Edwards' gratuitous comments on October 5 were really just part of a campaign ploy hatched by the Democratic brain trust that run the Kerry/Edwards campaign. "

TheRealityCheck.Org Guest Writer: "As for domestic policy, Kerry's foresight is very limited. When asked a question about the future of Social Security and the inevitable collapse of the system as it is currently being run, Kerry said that 'if later on after a period of time we find that Social Security is in trouble, we'll pull together the top experts of the country.' Find out later on? Currently, estimates expect that the yearly Social Security outputs will be more than the Social Security inputs by 2018. At this point, the Treasury will have to begin repaying the money it borrowed from Social Security, leaving shortfalls elsewhere, and which will be exhausted a few decades later as well. Luckily for Kerry, he would no longer be president when he finds that 'Social Security is in trouble.' "
