"The right to be left alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms." --William Douglas

Kerry and Bush – Similarities and Differences       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano           John Kerry mounts a presidential campaign on the basis of his four months of military service in Vietnam 35 years ago, and then, when the Swift boat veterans question him, catching him in lies, extreme self-promotion, and a 1971 statement to the press in which he confessed to committing atrocities, he sends John Glenn out to try to divert our attention elsewhere, saying that we should not dwell on the past but should look to the future.  (Don’t pay attention to what I have been saying or to what I did – just listen to my beautiful promises for the future!)         (click to read more)

IRAQ AND WMDs: A REFRESHER COURSE            by Rod D. Martin, 24 August 2004           Were Saddam's WMDs a fantasy "concocted in Crawford"?  Clearly, Michael Moore and John Kerry want you to think so.         (click to read more)

John Kerry: What's the Truth?         By Joshua Bunton           You've heard it time and time again "I served in Vietnam." For those who didn’t know about it, I'm sure John will tell the world again soon!  While Mr. Kerry's service to his country is commendable, it is he who made Vietnam the central issue of his presidential campaign.         (click to read more)

Unfit for Command by John E. O’Neill and Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.       Reviewed by Theresa Fritz Camoriano         On May 4, 2004, about 200 Swift Boat veterans, including John Kerry’s former commander Grant Hibbard, presented an open letter saying that John Kerry had “misrepresented his service in Vietnam and lied about his claims of atrocities committed as a matter of policy by his unit and the American military.  (Over 250 Swift Boat veterans have now signed the letter.) The letter labeled Kerry a liar and a fraud, unfit to be the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces.” The letter concludes with the following statement:

The (Too) High Cost of Politics         by Lady Liberty               I don't usually watch any coverage of the national political conventions. I think of them as hour long infomercials, broadcast solely to suggest to the average voter that he or she should buy this guy or that as the next President of the United States of America. But this year, entirely by accident, the television happened to be on when John Kerry stepped to the podium in Boston to accept the nomination of the Democratic Party. And that's how it is I heard John Kerry spend far more talk time using promises to buy votes than he did asking voters to buy his experience and his qualifications (there's a reason for that, of course, but that's a topic for another time).         (click to read more)

Vets' evidence against Kerry ironclad         By Henry Lamb           John McCain dishonored himself when he appeared with John Kerry to denounce the statements of the Vietnam veterans who say John Kerry is unfit to be commander in chief. McCain obviously spoke before he knew the facts.          (click to read more)

The ballot or the bullet'         Since this is an election year and the United States is at war, I would like to suggest that journalists, politicians, freedom fighters, religious leaders and anyone who is interested in understanding some of the politics and the war in Iraq listen to Malcolm X's speech, "The ballot or the bullet. " I hope those who listen will learn why the United States is in economic, political and social trouble.          (click to read more)

TERRY’S TIDBITS – The Scream, Hurricane Deaths, Weapons, New Hampshire, Handicaps, Dress Codes, Graffiti           By Terry Gray

Will They Ever Learn?          by Lady Liberty              The state of Ohio has a problem. On August 3, special elections were held around the state. On the ballots were more than 100 requests from school districts for tax levies. Historically, school funding has been well tolerated by voters who seem to think that a "yes" vote is "for the children." This time, however, three quarters of the levies failed. One Ohio newspaper called the results a "massacre."         (click to read more)

Cruising in the Keystone State         by Jonathan David Morris               Perhaps the hardest part about my recent move from New Jersey to Pennsylvania is trying to tell friends and relatives how to get to my new townhouse. This has more to do with Pennsylvania roads than anything else. They’re beyond comprehension. They make no sense. It’s like the expression, “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Friends shouldn’t ask friends to drive in Pennsylvania. Anyone who asks his friends to drive in Pennsylvania probably isn’t a real friend.          (click to read more)

Silence Dogood, No. 2  To the Author of the New-England Courant.          Histories of Lives are seldom entertaining, unless they contain something either admirable or exemplar: And since there is little or nothing of this Nature in my own Adventures, I will not tire your Readers with tedious Particulars of no Consequence, but will briefly, and in as few Words as possible, relate the most material Occurrences of my Life, and according to my Promise, confine all to this Letter.          (click to read more)

“I remember well April 1968--I was serving in Vietnam--a place of violence--when the news reports brought home to me and my crewmates the violence back home--and the tragic news that one of the bullets flying that terrible spring took the life of that unabashedly maladjusted citizen.”

- John Kerry in a 2003 speech commemorating Martin Luther King Day.  Problem is, Kerry didn’t go to Vietnam until NOVEMBER of 1968.  Guess he doesn’t remember April of ‘68 so well after all. (from Chuck Muth’s News and Views)
